Subject: Use It To Help The Poor Once.
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 SAMI UMAR 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 onlyfocused 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 familymembers as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I havedecided 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 cashdeposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 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 25% for you and for your time.
God be with you.
Sami Umar.
