Subject: PLEASE CONTACT ME TODAY
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry in any form, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Saeed Ahmed a merchant in Dubai, in theU.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 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
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 15% for you and for your time.Please kindly reply to my
most confidentail email if you really are interested in helping me
please:saeedahme88@hotmail.com
God be with you.
Saeed Ahmed.
