Subject: "MY GOODWILL"
Dear friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter,
which I believe will be a suprise,as we are both
complete strangers.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because I believe everyone will die someday. My
name is Frank Fadi, a former merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer
which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
caring for my health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I
have only about a few months to live, according to
medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life
so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even
myself but my business.Though I am very rich, I was
never generous,I was always hostile to people and only
focus 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 I have a second chance to come to this
world I would live my life a different way from how I
had lived it, now that it is dark for me, 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.
To correct my wrong past life, I have decided to give
alms to charity organizations,as I want this to be one
of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have
distributed money to some charity organizations in the
U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. 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 and distribute the money which I have there
to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they
refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have
left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of four million dollars that I have with a Fudicial Company Abroad,
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations and you must be sending me informations of how it was disbursed
either by email or otherwise . I have set aside 10% for you for your time
and patience.
Thanks.
Frank Fadi
NB
Please do not share my email addess with anyone as I
have received some emails from some unscrupulos people
claiming to be charity organisations and other weird
stories.
