Greetings
Peace and Love Be on to you , as you read this , I don't want you to feel sorry
for me, because I believe everyone will die someday.
My Name is ABDUL RAHMAN I a merchant of Brunei nationality but presently
residing in Britain 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 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 Oman, 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 Fiftyfive
million dollars 55,000,000 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want youto help me collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity
organizations.
If you a capable of handling this project please get back to me with your full
name and contact telephone number where you can be reached and i will place a call
through to you for further instructions. Please also bear in mind that for your assisanace
you will be rewarded generously.
God be with you.
HJ ABDUL RAHMAN
