Subject: Help Distribute for Charity (Please Reply)
Beloved 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 Kenneth Ramza a merchant in Dubai,in
the U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait oil Company and eight years as a contractor.
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 have not particularly lived my life so well, as I ever 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 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. so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,
as I want this to be one ofthe 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 only person I would have trusted to do this
with is a friend of mine who is a lawyer but he is a very busy man as he is
occupied with other official tasks, thus he would not have the time to
assist me fully with this mission but he is ready to assist and guide you
through the cause of this project as I want to see this done before my
death. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit
of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a
finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. I dont want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.Hence the reason for
taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS
14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.I shall
give you more details once you
reply this mail.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you.
