My dear friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Mohammed a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E.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 also
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, 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 contempted with what I have left
for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.
Please endeavour to reply me on my direct email address of
hasan_ammed60@hotmail.com for confidentiality as I'll be awaiting your quick
response. For your time and honesty, I have set aside 10% for you. God be
with you.
Hassan Mohammed.
