Subject: Dear Blessed One
Dear Blessed One,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Mr.Fadi Umar a merchant in Kuwait and
Dubai.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 devoted my entire life to 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 donate ceaselessly to charity organizations. I want this to be
one of the last good deeds I can acheive here on earth. So far, I have
distributed money to some charity organizations/Foundations in the U.A.E,
Algeria, Malaysia and some countries in Africa. my health has deteriorated
so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.Due to the present devastating
attack(Hurricane Katrina) on New Orleans.I would want to donate my deposited
funds to it's victims.
I once asked some members of my family to close some of my accounts and
donate the funds to Tsunami Victims but instead, diverted the funds into
their private accounts overseas. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be contempt with what I have left for them. The last of my money
which no one knows about is a huge cash deposit of Six Million United States
Dollars $6,000,000,00USD.It is been deposited with a Security Company
abroad.
I am asking you for a favour,I want you to help me collect this deposited
funds from the security company and donate it to Hurricane Katrina's victims
in New Orleans,USA.I promise in the name of God,to compensate you with some
reasonable percentage of the deposited funds,for your time and also expenses
incured as i will not be able to carry out this wish due to my present
health condition.
I will be very greatful if my wish is duly acomplished.
God be with you.
Mr.Fadi Umar
