Subject: DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST I NEED YOUR HELP
DEAR BELOVED.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Hussain El Amin a merchant in Tunisa
and Dubai.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
businesses.
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 in 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 also 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, Algeria,
Malaysia and some countries in Africa.
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 contented with what I have left
for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of Eleven Million United States Dollars $11,000,000,00 that I have
with a online bank abroadI will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 20% for you, your
time and also any expenses incured during this assignment. God be with you.
Kindly reply me,via my mail , hussain4help@yours.com,
God bless you greatly as you do.
Regards,
Hussein ElAmin.
