Hello,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is ABUBAKAR ALWALI. I a merchant of
Omani nationality and 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 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. Please respond back to me on
abu_alwali@walla.com so i can explain to you better.
ABUBAKAR.M.ALWALI
