Subject: SOLICITATION IN DISBURSING FUNDS FOR CHARITY WORK
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself.
I am Mr. ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed a SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant before
I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled all medical
solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to
live.
As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal
truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being
that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and
possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I was very rich I was never generous, I was never caring
about people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that
was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know
that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the
world as I lay helplessly on my sick bed.
If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a
different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now. As
my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out
most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members
as well as a few close friends.
I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me
and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining
funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last
deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed
money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my
immediate family members or close friends on this as I have once asked them
to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity
organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept
the money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost
confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contended with what I
have left for them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Eighteen
million U.S Dollars ($18,000,000,00) stashed in 2 trunk boxes and declared
as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a
finance/Security Company in Europe. All I am asking of you is to assist me
in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any
charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds
for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any
expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims.
Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and
sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with
all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security
firm where the funds are deposited.
God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as soon as possible
if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry
out this on my behalf. Find attached a picture of me along with this email
for your perusal.
Please respond to me on this email address if you are willing to assist me,
abdulazeez2005@netscape.net
ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed.
