Subject: ATTENTION!!!
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 Kareem Jabaar, 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 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 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 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 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 five
million dollars $5,000,000that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you for your time and patience.please send a reply
through this email address (kjabaar@netscape.net) with your full contact
information for more private and confidential communication.
God be with you.
Kareem Jabaar
