Subject: I solicit your kind Assistance. vshnh

I bring you Greatings.

my name is Mrs Zebun Rahmeed , widow to late Mr.Mohamed Rahmeed, fomer owner of CROME OIL
AND PETROLEUM SAUDI ARABIA I am 68years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast ,From
all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than 2
months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I
don't want your pity but I need your trust.

My late husband died early last year from heart attack, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't
produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I will not live for more than 2 months, so I have
now decided to spread all my wealth, to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa,
America, Asia and Europe.

Am sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail. I found your e-mail address in the web directory, and I have
decided to contact you, but if for any reason you find this mail offensive, you can ignore it and please
accept my apology.

Before my late husband died he was a major oil tycoon, in Saudi Arabia and deposited the sum of
$18.5M Dollars (Eighteen Million and five hundred thousand united states Dollars) with a financial
institution in Europe some years ago, this is all I have left now, I need you to collect this funds and
distribute it yourself to charity ,so that when I die my soul can rest in peace the funds will be entirely in
hands and management.

I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives, that is my main concern , I have also decided
that 20% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 80% goes to charity.

God bless you.
Mrs.Zebum Rahmeed
