Greetings
Peace and Love Be on to 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 ABDUL RAHMAN I a merchant of Brunei nationality but presently
residing in Britain 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 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 Oman, 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 last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
Fifty-five million dollars
55,000,000 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity
organizations.
If you a capable of handling this project please get back to me with your
full name and
contact telephone number where you can be reached and I will place a
call through to
you for further instructions. Please also bear in mind that for your
assistance you will be
rewarded generously.
God be with you.
HJ ABDUL RAHMAN
