Subject: FROM MR JAMIL RAJEV
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Jamil Rajev, a merchant in Dubai, in
the U.A.E . I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer which was
discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all forms 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 these 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 properties and assets to my immediate and extended
family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful
to me and accept my soul and 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 my self any more. 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 twenty four million dollars that I have
with a Finance/security company in Europe. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you for your time and patience.
God be with you.
Jamil Rajev
