Subject: DEAR FRIEND (FROM AHMED HASSAN)
Ahmed Hassan Investment.
Suite 303, City Tower 2
Opposite Emirates Hotel
Sheikh Zayed Road
Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
(U.A.E.)
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 a few months to live,according to medical experts.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so,I have decided to give alms tocharity 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,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 the WOOLWICH INTERNATIONAL BANK EAST LONDON UNITED KINGDOM.
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.God be with you.
Yours Sincerely
Mr. Ahmed Hassan
