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 MR.AHMED HASSAN, a merchant in Saudi Arabia,
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer
Which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
Caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of
Medicine, 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 focus 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 properties and assets to my immediate and
Extended family members and as well as a few close
Friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my
soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity
Organizations and give succor and comfort to the less
privileged in our societies, 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 self 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 and to the
Less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they
Refused and kept the money to them. 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 US$25.3M.Unfortunately that I have
With a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. I
will want you to help me collect this deposit and
disburse it to some charity organizations and to the
less priviledged.
I have set aside 10% for your time and patience.
Please I am waiting for your urgent response.
Regards,
AHMED HASSAN
