Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself. I am Mr. Jamal Abdul Farouk a SAUDI
National and a crude oil Merchant before I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defied all
medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to live. As you read
this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die someday, the only
regrets i have is being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions
as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.
Though I was very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only dedicated my
time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I
now know that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on
my sick bed. If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a different way from
how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now.
As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my properties and
assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I also want my soul
to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have
resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last
deeds I indulge in on earth before I die.
Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family
members or close friends on this as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute
the funds therein to charity organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the
money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them because it
is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for them.The last of my funds which no one
knows of is a cash deposit of Nineteen million U.S Dollars ($19,000,000.00) stashed in 1 Big trunk box
and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a Diplomatic finance/Security
Company in Europe.
All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to
any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds for yourself and your family.
Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction
on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of
the Diplomatic security firm where the funds are deposited. God bless you as I await words from you.
Please inform me as soon as possible if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else
to carry out this on my behalf. Please respond to me on this email address if you are willing to assist me
(jaabfak@netscape.net).
Warm Regards
Jamal Abdul Farouk .
