Good day,
Am Mohammed Jamal, a merchant in Cuba,I am suffering from
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
Cuba. 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 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
of USD$12.6 M (Twelve million six hundred thousan dollars)
that I have with Financial Firm Abroad.I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and dont let them
know that it is I Mohammed Jamal that is making this
generous donation as the holy book does not allow this.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital
bed where I wait for my time to come, I will appreciate
your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished as I dont want anything that will Jeopadize
my last wish. and Also I will be contacting with you by
email as I dont want anybody to know cos they are always
around me.
Mohammed Jamal.
