Subject: DEAR BELOVED
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 Ommar Sheriff, a merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer in Acton hospital London.
This disease has defiled all forms of medicine, 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 focus 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 properties and assets to
my
immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close
friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so,I have
decided to
give all the money i have left 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 my self any
more.
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
packed
and deposited with a security company i will disclose the amount to you
on
confirmation if you are really willing to assist me with this
transaction.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations,churches,and motherless homes
since
iam about to die .
I have made it out for you to know that a total of 20% of these funds
shall
be yours personally please respond with your response full name tel/fax
numbers as soon as possible and don't let this out if you are not
interested
always let me know.
God be with you.
