Subject: HELP DISPATCHED TO CHARITY HOMES
Dear Beloved,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is AHMED HASSAN 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 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, but 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 One million dollars
$21,000,000,00 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 25% for you and for your time.
Reply me through:hassa_ahmed111@yahoo.com.hk
Yours Sincerely
Ahmed Hassan.
