Subject: PRAISE ALLAH, THE MOST BENEVOLENT
Dear Sir/Madam
Don't have pity or feel sorry for me, as you read this mail because, I believe
we will all die one day.I am Madhwa Brahmin, 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 some 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 was 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 to have a selfish desire toward
money in this world.
If God gives me a second chance to come to this world I will live my life
a different way from how I have lived it. (More peaceful and more dedicated
to the will of God) Now that I am about to die, 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. For this reason, I have
decided to give alms to charity organizations as well as individuals, so
that this will be one of the last good things 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 that was in it to charity organization in
Bulgaria and Pakistan; they did not but kept the money to themselves, for
their selfish needs. This is why I do not trust them anymore, because they
seem not to be contended or satisfy with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of nine
million dollars $9,000,000,that I kept with a private finance Company in
Europe. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it
to charity organizations.10% of the total sum have been set aside to you
for the time, patience and your acceptance to help with all expenses taken
care by me.
Please send a reply through this email address ( MadhwaBrahmin@mmail.com
) with your full contact information for more private and confidential communication
with finance company. Please note that you will not be able to reach me on
phone except by emails because of my present situation. I may send to you
the pictures from My Sick bed for Verification purposes, if you agree to
take up this responsibility.
I await your immediate response
God be with you.
Madhwa Brahmin
