Subject: URGENT REQUEST:
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 Jonathan Caru, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been
diagnosed with lung 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 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 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 contended with
what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
twenty eight million US dollars (US$28,000,000), that I have with a
deposit company abroad. Acknowledge this message so that I can introduce
you to my lawyer who will handle the transfer of receivership by you of
the said funds. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations. My lawyer shall put you in the
picture of the funds, tell you where the funds are currently being
maintained and also discuss modalities including remuneration for your
services.
God be with you.
Jonathan Caru
