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 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 afew months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not evenmyself) 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 theonly 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 adifferent way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I havewilled 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 togive alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the lastgood deeds I have done 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 moneywhich I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, but theyrefused 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.
PLEASE I WILL APPRECIATE THAT YOU REPLY THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW;
ahmedhassan1944@yahoo.co.uk
ahmedhassan46@myway.com
Yours Sincerely
Mr. Ahmed Hassan.
