Dear Friend,
My name is SALIM IBRAHIM 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 I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and 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 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 God has called
me, 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 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 the 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 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 cash deposit of $20,500,000(Twenty million five hundred thousand
u.s dollars sealed in a Box) that I have with a finance/Security Company
abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this consignment and dispatch it to charity
organizations.
You will keep 15% of this fund once you have collected the Box(Funds) from
the security company for your assistance.
God be with you.
SALIM IBRAHIM
