Subject: Dear Friend.

Dear Friend.

I am Abdul Raham,A merchant in Dubai, United Arab Emirate. I have been
diagnosed with Cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my laxity
in caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine; Right now I
have only about a few months to live, according to my Medical Doctor. I have
not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for myself
but the oil business.


Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I 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 and
heal me I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

I have sowed a seed for my healing 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.I want God to be merciful to me and accept
my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations and
give succor and comfort to the less privileged of the Tsunami Victims, as I
want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth so far, by
distributed some of this money to some charity organizations in India and
Malaysia.

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self
anymore.I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts
in Saudi Bank and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization and to the less privileged in Bulgaria and Sudan Africa
They cashed the money but kept it only to themselves.

Hence I do not trust them anymore,as they seem not to be contended with
what I have left for them already. The last of my money, which no one knows
of,is the huge cash deposit of twenty two million dollars $ 22 million that
I
have in the Vault of The security company in Europe as family valuable
sincethe year 2003 for safekeeping.

I want you to collect this deposit on my behalf and disburse it to
theTsunami Earthquake victims in Asia for the less priviledged. Please
send me a mail to indicate your wiliness to assist in this disbursement.

I will set aside 10% for you for your time and efforts.I need your
urgentreply with your full name and address where you come from,
Phone/Fax Number,so that I will not have to go on sourcing for a credible
person
to handle this project for himself and the rest of the world.

God bless you.
Abdul Raham
