Dear Friend
My Testimonies may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this,
I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will
die someday. My name is Sammi Ahmed a merchant in Dubai, in the United Arab
Emirate (U.A.E) 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 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, and
Schools in the U.A.E.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 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 it, except my personal lawyer
in London who is aware of it, The amount is Thirty two million dollars ($32,000,000,00)
which i deposited with a Financial Firm.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 10% of the total funds,for you and for your
time.I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations any where in the world and let them know that it is
I Sammi Ahmed that is making this generous donation.I will appreciate your
utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as
I dont want anything that will Jeopadize my last wish.I am writing this
from my Notebook computer in myhospital bed where I wait for my time to
come.You can get back to me with my personal email: sammiahmed2@zipmail.com.br
I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart. God be
with you.
Sammi Ahmed.
