Subject: CHARITY
Dear Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which i believe will be a
surprise,as we are
both complete strangers.I got your email address from network directory
I apologize if I have infringed on your privacy.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe
everyone will die
someday.My name is Prince Abdul Bin Talal, a merchant in Dubai. I have been
diagnosed with
Esophageal cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring
for my health. It has
defiled all forms 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 believe when I have a second chance to come to this world I would live my
life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that it is dark for me,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.
To correct my wrong past life, I have decided to give alms to charity
organisations,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
organisations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this my self anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the money which I have
there to charity organisation 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 twenty four
million dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity .
The total amount of funds which i gave to the security firm is US$24,000,000.00
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.
I have a little back ache already. I have to go now.
Please send your reply to my personal email box at
princeabu17_bintalah@yahoo.com where i can be
able to view your replys.
Thanks.
Prince Abu bintalah
