DEAR BROTHER/SISTER,
AS YOU READ THIS MAIL I DONT WANT YOU TO FEEL SORRY
FOR ME BECAUSE I DESERVE TO DIE TO PAY FOR MY
WICKEDNESS AND EVIL DOINGS AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF
US MUST DIE.
MY NAME IS "SAHEED HAMMED" I'M VERY RICH AND
EMIRATE
AND RIGHT NOW AS I WRITE YOU I HAVE BEEN
DIAGNOSED WITH ESOPHAGEAL CANCER WHICH THE DOCTORS
SAY I WILL DIE VERY SOON BECAUSE THE ILLNESS HAS
EATEN DEEP INTO MY BODY SYSTEM WHICH THE DOCTORS SAY
I HAVE VERY FEW MONTHS TO LIVE AND THIS CANCER HAS
REFUSED ALL FORMS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT FROM TOP
DOCTORS AND MEDICAL EXPERTS.
I THINK GOD IS PUNISHING ME BECAUSE I WAS VERY
WICKED AND ARROGANT.I DID ALL SORTS OF BAD THINGS
BECAUSE I WAS A RICH SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN WHO
DIDN'T CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE PARTICULARLY MY FAMILY
MEMBERS.I WAS CARRYING LOTS OF WOMEN,COMMITTING
ADULTERY,FUNICATIONS,DRINKING ALCOHOL.I WAS ALSO VERY
HOSTILE TO MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.
THIS CANCER HAS MADE ME REALISE THAT MONEY IS NOT
EVERYTHING ON EARTH AND I BELIEVE THAT WHEN GOD
GIVES ME THE SECOND CHANCE,I WILL LIVE A GOOD LIFE.I
AM REGRETING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE GREAT PAINS
WHICH I AM PRESENTLY GOING THROUGH AND THIS HAVE
MADE ME TO REPENT AND TURN AROUND FROM MY EVIL
DOINGS SO I DECIDED TO GIVE OUT MY PROPERTIES,ASSETS
AND CASH MONEY TO MY IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY
MEMBERS AND ALSO SOME CLOSE FRIENDS WHICH I DID NOT
SATISFY THEN.
I WANT GOD TO HAVE MERCY ON ME AND ACCEPT MY SOUL IF
I FINALLY DIE SO I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE SOME MONEY
TO CHARITY ORGANISATIONS IN UAE THROUGH MY FAMILY
MEMBERS BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO GIVE THE MONEY TO
THE CHARITY ORGANISATIONS AND POOR PEOPLE BY TAKING
EVERYTHING.I ALSO ASKED MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO CLOSE
ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS AND DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY TO
CHARITY ORGANISATIONS IN PAKISTAN,AND THE TSUNAMI
AFFECTED COUNTRIES BUT THEY KEPT THE MONEY TO
THEMSELVES SO AT THIS MOMENT I DO NOT TRUST THEM
ANYMORE.
THE LAST OF MY MONEY WHICH NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT EXCEPT
YOU THAT I AM SEEKING YOUR HELP AND ME IS A CASH
DEPOSIT OF $28.6M DOLLARS ("TWENTY EIGHT
MILLLION,SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) WHICH I
DEPOSITED IN A FINANCE/SECURITY COMPANY IN LONDON
UK.THIS $28.6M DOLLARS IS PARKED IN A MOST CODED WAY
IN 2 BIG BOXES AND WAS SHIPPED TO THE SECURUTY
COMPANY FOR SAFE KEEPING AND AS I TALK TO YOU,THE
SECURITY COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE 2 BOXES
CONTAIN CASH MONEY.I TOLD THEM THAT THE BOXES
CONTAIN PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS.
I WANT YOU TO HELP ME TO COLLECT THIS 2 BOXES OF MY
$28.6M DOLLARS AND DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY TO CHARITY
ORGANISATIONS,POOR PEOPLE AND TSUNAMI AFFECTED
COUNTRIES.I WANT YOU TO TAKE 10% OF THE $28.6M
DOLLARS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.I WANT YOU TO DO THIS
FOR ME BECAUSE THIS IS ONE WAY I HAVE CHOOSEN TO
RECONCILE MY DIFFERENCES WITH GOD SO THAT HE WILL
FORGIVE ME AND THEN SAVE MY SOUL FROM PERISHING.I
WILL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT OF THE SECURITY COMPANY IN
LONDON SO THAT YOU CAN CONTACT THEM AND CLAIM THE
BOXES WHEN I GET YOUR REPLY THAT YOU ARE READY TO
HELP ME.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU HELP ME WITH THIS GREAT TASK
AHEAD OF ME BEFORE I DIE.I AWAIT YOUR FAST REPLY TO
THIS EMAIL ADDRESS:SAHEEDHAMEED002@HOTMAIL.COM ,AS
I GO BACK TO BED NOW TO CONTINUE TO BEAR THE PAINS I
AM GOING THROUGH AT THE MOMENT.
SAHEED HAMMED.
