Dear Friend,
Thank you for replying to my email as you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is De Mel Hiranya, I a merchant of Omani nationality but presently residing in Britain.
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 Divine 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 Divine 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 all to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms 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 Oman,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 contended 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 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations.I shall give you 20% for taking care of this for me since this is my heart desire and the only way i will be fulfilled and have rest of mind.
Reply with your complete details: full name,address and tel so I can call and know you better then I will give you all details,I hope you understand.Please reply to my personal email: demelhi@gala.net
Thank you for doing this.
Regards,
De mel Hiranya
