Subject: Urgent Mail
Dear Friend,
I strongly apologize for this unsolicited mail, but I am
constrained by circumstances.
Please permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr.kenny Ahmed.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,
because, I believe everyone will die someday.
I was a Crude Oil merchant in Romania, 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 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, 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
Austra,cameroun,liberia,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
contemted with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of fifteen million dollars
$15,000,000,00 in a bank.
I need you to help dispatched the money to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.If you feel
up to it and you are honest, please contact me asap.
God be with you.
Kenny Ahmed.
