Hope I Can Trust You
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die
someday.My name is MR. AMIN BRAIN a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.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 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 andkept
the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be contended
withn What I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows of,
is the huge cash depositof eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 thatI have with a finance company abroad. I will want
you to help me go there and collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations. Ihave set aside 10% for you
and for your time. Please get back to me as soon as possible so that i
can furnish you with therelevant documents and to get a proof of myself to you. My family are
really working to see that
this great Dream of mine reaming a thing of
Thought. Best regards as I wait
Your quick response
God be with
you. MR. AMIN BRAIN
