--Good day,
Am Mohammed Jamal, a merchant in Cuba,I am suffering from esophageal
Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for
my health. It has defiled all form of medicine 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
focus 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 I know my
time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and
assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a
few close friends and Schools in Cuba. 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 London and Ireland. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more.I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in
Bulgaria, 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 is the huge cash
deposit of USD$12.6 M (Twelve million six hundred thousan dollars)
that I have with Financial Firm Abroad.I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and
dont let them know that it is I Mohammed Jamal that is making this
generous donation as the holy book does not allow this.I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I
wait for my time to come, I will appreciate your utmost
confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I
dont want anything that will Jeopadize my last wish. and Also I will
be contacting with you by email as I dont want anybody to know cos
they are always around me.Mohammed Jamal.
