Subject: HELP ME TO REACH THE SUFFERING CHILDREN OF GOD
Greeting
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is BELLO USMAN a merchant in Philippines; I have been diagnosed
with Oesophageal 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 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 $9,
500, 000, 00 dollars that
I have with a finance/Security Company in Nederlandes. I will want you to
help me collect this deposit
and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 35% for you
and for your time. God be with you.
