Subject: HELLO FRIEND
Dear friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is shadak shari a merchant in Dubai, in
the U.A.E.
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. I am very rich, I was never
generous,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 have decided to give also to charitable
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.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge
cash deposit of Nine million dollars
$9,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatched it to charitable organizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time and
also another 5% for any expences incured while
excecuting this project.
God be with you.
Shadak Shari.
