Subject: GOOD DAY.
Good Day,
My name is Aladin Bruce, 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. As you read this, I don't want you to feel
sorry for me because, I believe everyone will die someday. 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 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 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 and give succor
and comfort to the less privileged in our societies, 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 and to the less privileged in Bulgaria , Pakistan,
and in Africa, they refused and kept the money to themselves. The last of
my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen
million dollars($18m) that I have with a Security Company in Europe for
safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse
it to some charity organizations and to the less privileged. Please send
me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement. I have
set aside 30% for you for your time and patience. While I wait to hear
from you, may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed.
Mr.Aladin Bruce
