Greetings.
As you read this, don't feel sorry for me, because it is the destiny of
everyman to die someday. I am Kazeem Khalid a naturalised Briton by birth
and a business merchant based in the United Kingdom. I have been diagnosed
with Oesophageal 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 regret that I
have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone (not even myself), but my trade. Though I am very well to do, I was
never open handed; I was always hostile to people and regarded them like
they never had hopes of becoming as successful as myself. Now I know that
there is a lot more to life than just prosperity.
I believe that when I am given a second chance to come to this world, I
would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that death
is eminent, I have willed and given most of my belonging to immediate and
extended family members, as well as a few close friends. I want Allah to be
merciful to me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity
work; this is what i want to be remembered for. So far, I have been able to
reach out to a few charity organizations in the Singapore, 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 aid me in giving of alms to those
organizations catering for the less Privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan;
they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence, I do not trust
them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what I have left for
them.
The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the deposit of Eight
Million US dollars ($8,000,000.00) that I have in a safe keeping company
abroad, which I will want you to secure and bestow to charity
organizations.
Please endeavour to reply me via kazeemkafas@yahoo.com or
kazeemkafas@aim.com
For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you.
May the good lord be with you.
Dr. Kazeem Khalid Malik
