Subject: CHARITY.
Dear beloved,
My name is Alli Waheed, A Bahrain national,I
have been diagnosed with Oesophageal 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
ismore 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 wouldlive 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, Somalia
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
Eight Million
dollars($28,000,000,00) that I have with a finance
House
abroad. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and despatch it
to charity organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to
the tsunami
victims and another 10% for your effort and time.
Regards.
Alli Waheed
