DEAR BELOVED ,
As you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for me, because, I know everyone will die someday. My name is Hussein Eamin
merchant in Tunisa 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 businesses.
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 in 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, Malaysia and some
countries in Africa.
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 contented
with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows
of is the huge cash deposit of Eleven Million United States Dollars
$11,000,000,00 that I have with a online bank abroadI will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations. I have set aside 20% for you, your time and also any
expenses incured during this assignment. God be with you.
Kindly reply me,via my mail ,elaminhussein01@yahoo.co.uk
God bless you greatly as you do.
Regards,
Hussein ElAmin.
