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 Br John Jeremy, a 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 carrying 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 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 properties
and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a
few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided
to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and confort to the
less
priviledged in our societies, 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 and to the less priviledged
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 four million dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe
for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse
it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged.
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement.
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.
While I await to hear from you, may God be with you.
entire family.
Remain blessed.
Br. John Jeremy
