Subject: Hello Friend,
Hello 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 Dr Abdulla Hassan a merchant in 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 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 five million dollars $5,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.Please kindly mail me directly through my personal email box: (drabdullahassan@yahoo.co.uk)
In his sweet, loving hands. You will distribute thefunds to any charity organizations of your choice.
At this point,forward to me your full names and address as well as a telephone number;my Attorney in Netherlands can reach you so as to give to you all necessary information of the company as well as the documents of claims.
I will be expecting your response soon.
Abdulla Hassan.
God be with you.
Best regards as i await your urgent responses
Dr Abdulla Hassan.
