Subject: DECISION OF FAITH
Dear sir/madam,
As you read this, I don‘t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is MUSA UMAR a merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled 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
Iam very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and
onlyfocused 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
justwanting 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
familymembers as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I havedecided
togive alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the
lastgood deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charityorganizations 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
membersof my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money
which I have there to charity organization 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 cashdeposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with
afinance/SecurityCompany abroad.
I will want you to help me collect thisdeposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.
God be with you.
MUSA Umar.
