LETTER FROM MOHAMMED AHMED REZA
Dear Friend,
MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is Mohammed Ahmed Reza, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have
been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer and
colorectal cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
carrying for my health. It has defiled
all forms of medicine, 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
focus 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 properties
and assets to my immediate and
extended family members and as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to
give arms to charity
organizations and give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our
societies, 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 my self 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 and
to the less priviledged 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 a huge cash deposit of
4Million united states dollars, that I
have with a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to
help me collect this
deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less
priviledged,i cant do this because of
my health condition.
I have set aside 15% percent for you for your time and patience.
While I await to hear from you, may God be with you
and your entire family.
Remain blessed.
Mohammed Ahmed Reza
