Subject: GOD WILL EWARD YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANT
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 El-Hassan Ahmed,I am a merchant in Dubai,
in the United Arab Emirate.I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late due
to my laxity in giving attention to my health.It has defiled
all forms 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 my
primary interest and focus was only my business.Though
I am very rich,I was never generous.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 it is obvious that God has called me,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 I have decided to give arms to
charity organizations and give succour and confort to
the less priviledged in our societies.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 here in the U.A.E. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly,I cannot do this my self
anymore.I once asked a member of my family to close
one of my accounts and distribute the money to three
charity organizations and to the less priviledged in
Bulgaria and Pakistan he refused and kept the money to
himself.Hence I do not trust him anymore as he seem
not to be contended with what I have left for him.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge
cash deposit of Twenty Four Million Dollars (24m USD)
that I have with a Security Company in Europe for safe
keeping.I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations
and to the less priviledged in your country.Please
send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in
this disbursement.I have set aside 20% for you for
your time and patience.If you are willing and ready to
assist with this project,pls e-mail me without delay
at:elahmed001@yahoo.com
While I await to hear from you,may God guide and
reward you in all your endevours as you make me
realise my last dreams and wishes.
Remain blessed.
El-Hassan Ahmed
