Subject: HELLO ! ixs
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because; I believe everyone will die someday. My
name is Fouad Abbas Alwani, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment and right now I have only about a few
more 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 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 God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and
assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity
organisations, 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 organisations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have
there to charity organisation 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 (twenty seven million dollars)
$27.000,000, that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organisations.
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.please send a reply through this email address
(esqpvtAbbas@netscape.net) with your full contact information for more private and confidential
communication.
God be with you.
Fouad Abbas Alwani.
