Subject: VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don?t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday, and am contacting you because i really do need
your help, and i want you to help em with all your effort and time for just
seven to fourteen workings of your time. I want you to be honest and truth
full with me that you will help me with my last wish as a dying man.
My name is Saeed Ahmed 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 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 assets to 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 also 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
Eighteen Million Dollars $18,000,000,00 in side two boxes that I have with a
Finance/Security Company Abroad. I will want you to Act as my Beneficiary
who will help me contact the security finance company on my behalf to
diecuss the terms and condition of getting this deposit out from thier
custody and also helping me to dispatch it to the charity organisations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.
PLEASE TRY AND GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Thru: emailsaeedahmed@yahoo.com
God be with you.
Saeed Ahmed
