Subject: CONFIDENTIAL
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains
so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is SALAM OMAN LE, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very
late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form
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
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 I know my time is near,
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 and Schools
in the UAE.
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 the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I
once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the
money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, 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 is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm
.I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations and let them know that it is I SALAM OMAN LE that is making
this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed in europe where
I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist
me with good heart
God be with you.
SALAM OMAN LE

wish. and Also I will be contacting with you by email as I dont want anybody
to know cos they are always around me. Do endavour to send your phone as
