From: Abdul Raham,
Dear Friend.
I am Mr. Abdul Raham, a merchant in Dubai, Arab Emirate. I have been
diagnosed with Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
careing 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 succour and comfort to the less
priviledged of the Tsunami Victims, 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 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 priviledged 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 Century Finance company Holland for safe
keeping. I want you to collect this deposit on my behalf and disburse it to
the Tsunami EarthQuake victims in Asia, hurricane Katrina, hurricane rita
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 urgent reply so that I will not have to go on sourcing
for a credible person to hadle this project, please if this is what you know
that you can hanlde kindly respond back to me with the information below.1
Your Full
Name And Address.
2, Your Telephone Number And Fax
3,Your Age And Occupation
God bless you as you respond.
Mr. Abdul Raham
