Subject: GOOD DAY!
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 ofmedicine 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.
