Hello,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,
because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is
ABUBAKAR ALWALI. I a merchant of Omani nationality and 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. Please
respond back to me on abu_alwali@walla.com so i can explain to you better.
ABUBAKAR.M.ALWALI
