Subject: DEAREST
Hello,
My name is Rahman Sarif,A Bahrain national Ihave 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 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 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.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to
give alms to charity 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,
Somalia 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 Eight Million dollars($28,000,000,00) that I have with a finance
House abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity
organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims and
another 10% for your effort and time.

Mr.Rahman Sarif
