Subject: Be A Part of This Blessing
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 Hamad Afaris a merchant in the United Kingdon and a citizen of Bahrain.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, 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 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 Twelve Million Six Hundred Thaousand dollars ($12,600, 000.00) that I have with a
Finance and Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 20% for your time and service.
Please reply me with honesty on this email address hamadalfaris1@yahoo.co.uk as soon as you
receive this mail.
God be with you.
Hamad Alfaris.
