As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Josaih Mamuod a merchant in Dubai,in
the
U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait oil Company and eight years as a contractor.
I
have been diagonised 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 led a good life, as I have never really cared for
anyone(not even myself) but my business. Though I was very rich, I was never
generous, I was always mean and ruthless 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 have just realized that they are all vanity.
I believe if God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I had lived. 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. 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
them. The only person I would have trusted to do this with is my lawyer
but he is a very busy man as he is occupied with other official tasks, thus
he would not have the time to assist me with this mission as I want to see
this done before my death.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch
it to charity organizations.
I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.Hence
the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom
of
the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace".I shall give you more details once you reply this mail.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time .God be with you.
I want you to please reply me through my private e mail:
as I will not be accessing the e mail box I used in sending this e mail to
you. So please reply me through this e mail mailto:box josaih@katamail.com
or josaih1@katamail.com
The Lord is my Strength
Remain blessed
Josaih Mamoud.
