Dear beloved,
My name is Alli Waheed, A Bahrain national, have been
diagnosed with Oesophageal 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 am very 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 alms 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, Somalia 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 Three Million five Hundred
Dollars($3.5m)that I have with a finance House abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
despatch it to charity organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to the
tsunami victims and another 10% for your effort and
time. I also have my pictures to show to you how bad
my condition is presently.
Beloved one"s kindly respond to my private Email Box

God bless,
Alli Waheed
