Subject: BELOVED I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO ACTUALISE MY LAST WISH.
Dear Beloved ,
Goodday to you and your family , i am sorry to disturb you but i just
finished reading your profile at the site and i felt deeply in my heart that
you are that individual that i have been looking for and so i can contact
you for a blessing that you are about to recieve and also share with people
that need it ,my name is Mr. Ehab Elbalawi a merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defile 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. I want to believe that you will be
capable of handling this task for me.I will wait to hear from you to know if
you are capable of doing this favour for me, ALLAH will bless you as you
decide to do this .I will wait for your urgent response
Thank you.
Ehab Elbalawi.
