My 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 Mr.Mushtaq Yousif Sultan,
a merchantin 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 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 dispatched it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 25% for you and for
your time.N .B Alternative

Mr.Mushtaq Yousif Sultan,
