Subject: Dear Friend.
ATTENTION: MY GOOD FRIEND,
I am Mr.ABUDU ALI a merchant in Dubai in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed
with esophageal cancer, this has defiled all forms of medical treatment and
right now I have only but a few months to live according to medical experts.
Am currently considering going to a renounced herbalist in Swaziland,to
see if I can defy death for a few more months.
Please do not feel sorry for me as you read this, because I believe everyone
will die someday. My purpose for contacting you is because I need your
assistance for the disposal of the funds I deposited with a security company
in Europe,this is because failing health no longer permits me to perform
such endeavor.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone (not even myself) but my business, and above all have never been
close to God. I was never a giving person, but always hostile to people and
only focusing on my business. 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 oney
in the world. I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
extended family members as well as a few close friends and care takers.
Hoping this will lead to my
salvation.
All I want now is God mercy and acceptance of my soul. So I have decided to
give 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.
Following this deterioration of my health I have asked accountant to close
all my personal accounts and distribute the money which I have to charity
organization in Bulgaria and
Pakistan, rather he kept the money to himself, following this I do not trust
any of my staff anymore to carry out my wish. Despite the fact I have made
provision for every one.
Besides am afraid the money may be used for the things I do not stand for.
Having done all I enumerated above, my last wish is to have the last funds
approximately twelve million United States dollars (US$12,000,000) I posses
go to people that needs it
most. This fund is deposited in the vaults of a security company in Europe
as family valuable since the year 2003. I will want you to help me collect
this deposited fund and dispatched it to charity organizations this will
give me huge peace of mind.
I have no doubt that I can entrust this to you believing you will not keep
the funds to your self.
For your trouble of course I have nothing against you keeping as much as 15%
of the funds for your self.
Please let me know if you will help in this matter and if this
proposal does not interest you nor fit in with your tight schedule I will
understand, but please do get back to me
immediately via my receiving email address stated above. My private nurse
answers all my correspondence, am sure you know why.
I hope you will remember me in your prayers.
God be with you.
Alh.ABUDU ALI.
