Subject: Greetings!!!
Dear Beloved,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My
name is Abdul-Razaaq Abdullah, a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defied 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 also 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 organizations 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 contented with what I have left for them. The
last of my money which no one knows of is the huge
cash deposit of ten million dollars $10,000,000.00
that I have with a finance institution in
Europe(Spain-"Lacaixa"). I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you and some expences that
may incure during the proccess of these transaction.
God be with you.Please reach me via my personal email
address of:razabdul_004@yahoo.com. Also remember to please keep
this known to yourself alone and I at least for now,as
I am doing this as a contribution to life on earth.I
will also appreciate if you provide me with your
contact mobile/tel numbers, so that i can forward them
to my lawyer in London who would contact you and guide
you through the whole process. I await your
urgent response.
regards,
Abdul-Razzaq Abdullah.
