Subject: It's like gold
Dear sir,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Idris Kabia a merchant in Iran.
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
Iran, 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 $52 million dollars
52,000,000,00 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 10% for you and for your time. you can reach me through my private e-mail:
idriskabia@mmail.com
God be with you.
Idris Kabia.
