Subject: PLEASE READ
Dear friend,
Be inform that you read this, I don't want you to feel
sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is Abdul Karim, a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with lung 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 or anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I am very rich, I has never been
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 of 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 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 claim one of my
funds i deposited with a security company in Europe 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 Five million US dollar
US$5,000,000), that I have with another security company abroad. Acknowledge his message so that I can introduce you to my lawyer who will handle the transfer of receivership by you of the said funds. I will want you to help me collect this funds from the security company and use it for charity organizations. The said funds are in two boxes each contains US$2.5 Million all in $100 bills but the security company knows that contains are personal effects and artifacts not money.
My lawyer shall put you in the picture of the funds. As soon as my Lawyer is okay with your ability and integrity to manage these funds according
to my will, I will endorse a Power of Attorney and all other documents, to enable the security company release the two trunk boxes to you. Note that the
remuneration for your Kind services will also be
discussed with my Lawyer. For this reason kindly
furnish your contact information, that is your mailling
address.SEND YOUR MAIL TO abdulk1956@jumpy.it
God be with you.
Abdul Karim
