Subject: Urgent Mail


Hello,

How are you today?

I strongly apologize for this unsolicited mail, but I

am constrained by circumstances.



Please permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr.kenny Ahmed.



As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,

because, I believe everyone will die someday.



I was a Crude Oil merchant in Iran,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 Austra,

cameroun,liberia,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 fifteen million dollars

$15,000,000,00 in a bank.





I need you to help dispatched the money to charity organizations.



I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.

If you feel up to it and you are honest, please contact me asap.

God be with you.



Kenny Ahmed.
