Subject: Asalam alaikum
Asalam alaikum
My name is Waheed Azeez 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 onlyabout 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 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 (Twenty million five hundred
thousand u.s dollars) that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this consignment and dispatched it to
charity organizations. I have set aside 15% for you and for your time.
God be with you.
Waheed Azeez
