Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am Al-Zarqawi Yusuf, A merchant in Dubai, United Arab Emirate ( UAE).
I have been diagnosed with Cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my
laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine; Right
now I have only about a few months to live, according
to my Medical Doctor. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for myself but the Oil business. Though I am very rich,
I was never generous, I only focused on my business as that was the only
thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when Allah gives me a second chance and heal me I would live my
life a different way from how I have lived it. I have sowed a seed for my
healing I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my
immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends.
I want Allah to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided
to give arms to charity organizations and give succor and comfort to the
less privileged of the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina Victims, as I want this
to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth so far, by distributed some
of this money to some charity
organizations in India. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this my self anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts in Saudi Bank
and distribute the money which I have there to charityorganization and to
the less privileged in Bulgaria and Sudan. They cashed the money but kept it
only to themselves.Hence I do not trust them anymore,as they seem not to be
contended with what I have
left for them already. The last of my money, which no one knows of, is the
huge cash deposit of Twenty Two Million United States Dollars ($ 22,000,000)
that I have in the Vault of The Security Company in Europe as
family valuable since the year 2003 for safekeeping.
I want you to collect this deposit on my behalf and disburse it to the
Tsunami Earthquake victims in Asia for the less privileged. Please send me a
mail to indicate your wiliness to assist in this disbursement. I will set
aside 10% for you for your time and efforts. I need your urgent reply with
your full name and address, your Phone and
Fax numbers and your Occupation so that I will not have to go on sourcing
for a credible person to handle this project for himself and the rest of the
less privileged. So be free to send the below information to enable me
submit it to the company as the sole beneficiary.
FULL NAMES
CONTACT ADDRESS
PHONE NUMBER
AGE
OCCUPATION
YOUR MARITAL STATUS
I will also plead to you to always pray for me because only
Allah heals.
Al-Zarqawi Yusuf.
