I have a new email address!You can now email me at: abdul_22ali@yahoo.com
Greetings!
It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which I believe will be a surprise to you as we have never met before, and I am deeply sorry if I have in any manner disturbed your privacy. Please forgive this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of exceptional and very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email, coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate business class persons to get attention and recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you.
My name is Abdul Ali a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I was a contractor for the Middle East oil for Food program. I did acquire a lot of money then even though I regret it now as it was illegal funds meant for the masses. I am presently under house arrest as I was indicted for is appropriations of funds. Now the government has seized all my property and accounts known to them. To make things worse 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 don’t want to return the secretly hidden money I have kept from the government because I know it will not be used well either. The money is ($21, 000000.00) Twenty One Million Dollars,
This is why I need your help. I want you to contact the Bank I deposited the funds with and retrieve it. All documents can be made available. I am willing to give you 20% for your assistance, while you send 30% to my wife and son. The balance 50% should go to charities.
I want Allah 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 but right now that my health has deteriorated so badly. Please I would really appreciate your help. If you are willing to help, please get back to me through my private email (adulalibaba@netscape.net)so I can give you the details and any other needed info.
Allah is with you.
Warmest Regards,
Abdul Ali.
