Subject: Greetings!
Dear Beloved,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Abdul-Razaaq Abdullah, a merchant in
Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has
defied 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 organizations 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 contented with
what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the
huge cash deposit of ten million dollars $10,000,000.00 that I have with a
finance institution in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you and some expences that may incure during the
proccess of these transaction. God be with you.
Please reach me via my personal email address of:razabdul_004@yahoo.com.
Also remember to please keep this known to yourself alone and I at least for
now,as I am doing this as a contribution to life on earth.I will also
appreciate if you provide me with your contact mobile/tel numbers, so that i
can forward them to my lawyer in London who would contact you and guide you
through the whole process. I await your urgent response.
regards,
Abdul-Razzaq Abdullah.
