Subject: GREETINGS FROM REZA
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is MR. REZA ABDULLA , a merchant in
Safat, in (Kuwait) I was married with two children. My wife and two children
died in a car accident six years ago. 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 assetsto my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want
God to be 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 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 Ten Million Seven Hundred Thousand
American dollars (U.S.$10.700,000) that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad. I will
want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations. I have set
aside only 20 % for you and for your time and also 5% as miscellaneous
expenses. Reply me at your earliest convenience for more directives to my
private email address: mr4rezaabdulla@walla.com
God be with you.
Regards,
MR. REZA ABDULLA
