From: SALAM JAFAR <salamjafa1@netscape.net>
Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2005 15:52:30 +0200
Subject: Assistance Needed
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I
have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you
read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is SALAM JAFAR, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate
and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all form of medicine 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 in the UAE. 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 the U.A.E,
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 that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations
and let them know that it is I SALAM JAFAR that is making this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that
God uses you to support and assist me with good heart
God be with you.
SALAM JAFAR
