Subject: Please!Dear Friend.
Please!Dear Friend.
Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Abdul Saheed, a business man in Tehran - Iran.
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 few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, I have decided to give
alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I will do on earth.
I need help from a reliable and honest person I can trust in the name of
Allah the merciful. Considering my present predicament and the political
situation in Iran, I now seek your assistance to help me clear Twenty-Eight
million US-Dollars (US$28,000,000.00) that I have with a recognize bank in
Europe and I will want you to help me collect this deposited fund and
dispatched it to charity organizations as I will instruct you to do.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regards because of my
health and some of my relatives around me. I don’t want them to know about
this new development and with Allah the merciful, all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my lawyer in
Europe and I will also issue you a letter of recognition through my lawyer
that will prove you as the next of kin to this fund base on my instructions.
I want you to alwayspray for me and I have set aside 18% for you for your
time. Please send a reply through my below email address with your full
contact information for more private and confidential communication and note
that any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for another
person for this same purpose because you are the only person I have
contacted for now. Please, inform me that you will act according to what I
told you.
May great Allah be with you.
Mr. Saheed Abdul,
Tehran, Iran.
