Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don‘t want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.My
name is Salim Ibrahim a merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E.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 amvery 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 Pakistan, 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 twenty million dollars $20,000,000.00 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 your time and service. Please reply me
with honesty as soon as you receive this mail.
God be with you,
Salim Ibrahim .
