Subject: SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN DISBURSING MY FUNDS TO CHARITY
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself.
I am Mr. RAHMAN AL-SHEIKH a SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant before I
was diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer which has defiled all medical
solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to
live.
As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal
truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being
that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and
possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I was very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people
but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only
thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay
helplessly on my sick bed.
If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a
different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now.
As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as
a few close friends.
I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me
and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining
funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last
deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed
money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my
immediate family members or close friends on this as I have once asked them
to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity
organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to
themselves.
Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them
because it is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Eighteen
million U.S Dollars ($18,000,000,00) stashed in 2 trunk boxes and declared
as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a
finance/Security Company in Europe.
All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this
deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after
keeping 20% of the funds for yourself and your family.10% of these funds
should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims.
Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and
sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents
necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited.
God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as soon as possible
if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry
out this on my behalf. Find attached a picture of me along with this email
for your perusal.
Please respond to me on this email address if you are willing to assist
me, sheikhrahman@walla.com
Mr.RAHMAN AL-SHEIKH
