From: "Rafiq Rahman" <rafiqrahman2@msn.com>

Subject: Business Partnership Solicitation
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains
so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday.
My name is Rafiq Rehman , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very
late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form 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 I know my
time is near, 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 and Schools in the UAE. 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, London and Ireland. 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 donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in
Bulgaria, 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 is the huge cash deposit that I have
with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I
Rafiq Rehman that is making this generous donation.I am writing this
from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to
come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart
God be with you.
Rafiq Rehman
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished as I dont want anything that will Jeopadize my last
wish. and Also I will be contacting with you by email as I dont want anybody
to know cos they are always around me. Do endavour to send your phone as
well as your fax
for easy communication.
