Kindly Fulfill My Last Wish

Dear Sir/Ma,
As you read this, I don\'t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Mohammed a
merchant in Dubai, in the 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 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
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 contempted
with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 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.
You can also reply me on my direct email address of
mohahammed24@yahoo.com for confidentiality as I\'ll be awaiting your
quick response. For your time and honesty, I have set aside 10% for
you. God be with you.
Please it is very IMPORTANT that you reply me to the above email
address.
Hassan Mohammed.
