Subject: re;DEAR BELOVED.
Dearly Beloved.,
This letter 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 Ibrahim Ali, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed
with Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxityin caring for
my health. It has defiled all form 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 believeif given a
second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it.
Now that I know my time is near, 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 and Schools in the U.A.E. 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, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family
to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to
charity organization in Bulgaria, 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 is the huge cash deposit
that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know
that it is I Ibrahim Ali that is making this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait
for my time to come.PLEASE REPOND TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS; ibrahimali7776@myway.com
Thank You.
Ibrahim Ali.
NB:
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. and Also I will be contacting with you by email as I dont want
anybody to know cos they are always around me. Do endavour to send your
phone as well as your fax for easy communication.
Your kind gesture is needed !
