Subject: FROM ABDULAZIZ FADI(CHARITY)
Dear friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, IBelieve
everyone
will die someday. My name is Abdulaziz Fadi, a business merchant.I have been
diagnosed
with lung cancer. It has defiled allforms of medical treatment, and right
now I have only
about a few years to live,according to medical experts. I have not
particularly lived my
life so well, as never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but
mybusiness.Though
I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostileto peopleand only
focused 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 thanjust 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 God has
called me, have willed and given
most of my property and assets to myimmediate and extended family members as
well as a
few close friends. Iwant God tobe merciful to me and accept my soul so, I
have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one
of the last good deeds Ido on earth. So far, I have distributed money to
some charity organizationsinthe U.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my
health has deteriorated so badly,I cannot do this myself anymore. I once
asked members of 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 hemselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contendedwith
what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows of,is
the huge cash deposit of Ten million US dollarUS$10,000,000), thatIhave with
a security company abroad. Acknowledge this message so that Ican introduce
you to my lawyer who will handle the transfer of receivership by you of the
said funds.I will want you to help me collect this deposit cash and use it
for
charity organizations only.
Thanks.
God be with you
Abdulaziz Fadi.
