Dear All,
My name is David Epsteine, I am an attorney, and a
businessman, I deal in the importation and exportation of foodstuff,
medical supplies and many other things that are highly needed in
impoverage nations like Poland, western and eastern Africa, and some of
the war stricken and third world nations.
I didn’t write you this letter to talk about
myself or to invite you to any business ventures, I was attempting to
introduce myself to you so that you may have some sort of view of who I am,
while trying to assure of the important/urgency of Sarah’s matter and
that this is not a joke,scam,or hoax,and before we get into the most
important matter in my life right now. I just want you to give me a
little bit of your time and some of your kindness please. Thank you.
If you are able to see the photo above, I
apologize, but Her name is Sarah she’s an infant age 14 month Her parents and
family were civilians killed in the same gas explosion fire that burned Sarah.
Sarah came out of a raging fire alive, and has to
fight for her life and a not so normal future,
I met her one month after arriving here in Cotonuo,I had so many questions but I realized that it really didn’t
matter who was responsible or how it happened ,what mattered is
that she is alive and has to stay alive and continue on in this life as
a human being. This little girl is suffering and cries herself to
sleep every day she is taking a series of risky medications and has a
poor appetite and health too, and I would love to do more for her but; I
DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS , THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SAVE HER. AND
THAT IS A SERIES OF OPERATIONS, I CONTACTED AOL, ZDNET AND MANY OTHERS
SADDLY,.
AOL AND ZDNET ARE THE ONLY ONES TO RESPNOND AND HAVE
AGREED TO HELP US. THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY CHOSED TO OFFER THEIR SERVICES
TO US IS THIS WAY FOR EXAMPLE=, I SEND THIS EMAIL TO YOU AND YOU
SEND IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, AOL WILL TRACK THIS EMAIL AND COUNT HOW MANY
PEOPLE GET IT.
EVERY PERSON THAT OPENS THIS EMAIL AND SENDS IT TO AT
LEAST 3 OTHER PEOPLE WILL GIVE US 32 CENTS,THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
THAT I WANTED TO SAY TO AOL BUT I BELEAVE THAT I DON’T HAVE TO BEG,ARGUE
OR PLEAD AND TRY TO CONVINCE ANY REAL CHRISTIANS,ITS ALL IN GOD’S
HAND,IM DOING WHAT MY HEART PUSHES ME TO DO,ICAN SAY MANY MORE THINGS
THAT WILL SURELY AFFECT YOU BUT TALKING AND WRITING IS ONE THING,SAVING
HER LIFE AND HELPING HER IS ANOTHER, PLEASE HELP US I BELEAVE THAT WE
CAN DO THIS OURSELVES. THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING YOU TO ASSIST
ME/SARAH PLEASE.
There is not much that I can say, this girl needs
help, she needs our help, I know this world and the so many corrupt,
foul practices just to get someone’s money, but in this case it is very
bad, to even assume that this child will not receive the help that she
deserves and needs so badly just because of some other bad apples….
it s painful, that is why I am here I want to create awareness to help
her. I’m not a fund raiser and to get those other orgs will take time
and money, I want to act immediately now!
I just don’t know what to say.
I want you to just look at her profile, and ask
yourself – is this the profile of a normal 14 month old infant?
She is 14 months old and she has burnt skin all
over her body, damage facial bones (as a result of very high temperature
her facial bone melted). She does not have an ear on the right
side of her face. She is in a hospital in cotonuo . She still has to go
through many more surgeries and then through a long rehab her
condition is indeed, grave and SHE has suffered some brain damages.
A 14 month old baby?
The estimated cost of the surgeries/caretaking and
other medical treatment is one hundred and fifty thousand us
dollars. Can we just start with this child Take another look at her and
ask yourself can I be exploiting her, am, I so GODLESS that I can use
this child’s problems/situations to cash in on profits, or some
other vain full gain, ask yourself can you go to visit a child in
this condition and go home everyday and some how put her at the back of
your mind and do nothing? I cant,Im not related to her, and before
our meeting – I did not know her, and since our meeting I’ve been
doing everything that I can to help. I am not her lawyer or anything, I am
more than a concerned Christian, I am a servant of humanity,
and I feel that I can at least bring enough public attention to her
without the media’s vulture claws, clutching her to feed them selves.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS
senenteen thousand dollars AND ALL THAT IM ASKING
FOR IS WHAT EVER YOU CAN GIVE,IF WE CAN PAY FOR PART OF HER
SURGERIES,IT’S A STEP.IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO INCLUDE THIS AS ONE OF YOUR
OBLIGATIONS,THEN PLEASE JUST PRAY FOR HER.BUT IF YOU CAN OFFER ANY
HELP,,,,PLEASE CONTACT ME AT
