Subject: Help me
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce
myself. I am Mr.
ALSHEIKH RAHMAN a Saudi National and a crude oil
Merchant before I was
diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has
defiled all medical solutions and
according to medical experts I only
have a few more months to live.
As you read this you do not have to
feel sorry for me as it is a
universal truth that we all must die
someday, the only problem with
mine though being that I have
particularly notlived my life well in spite of my
wealth and
possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but
my
business.
Though I was very rich I was never generous, I was
never
caring about
people but only dedicated my time and resources on
my
business as that
was the only thing I cared about. But now I
regret
all this as I now know that
there is more to life than just
accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on my sick
bed. If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my
life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has
befallen me now. As my last days
alive are drawing closer and closer
I
have already willed out most of my properties and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful
on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my
remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as
one
of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I
have
already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that
my
health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with
this
myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or
close
friends on this as Ihave once asked them to close one of my
accounts
and distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in
Bulgaria,
Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to
themselves. Hence I am
contacting you with this as I have lost
confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contended with
what I have left for them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of
is a cash deposit of Eighteen million U.S Dollars stashed in 2 trunk
boxes and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I
have with a
finance/Security Company in Europe. All I am asking of
you
is to assist me in making the collection
of this deposit and
dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20%
of the funds
for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should
be
to cover any expenses that might be incurred
in the process of
making
this claims.
Please contact me as soon as you get this email
if you
are capable and
sincere to handle this transaction on my
behalf so I
can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for
the claims
and the name of the security firm where the funds are
deposited.
God
bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as
soon as possible
if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek
for someone else to
carry out this on my behalf. Find attached a
picture of me along with
this email for your perusal.
Please respond
to me on this email
address if you are willing to assist
me,
ffkms101@yahoo.co.uk
May
God Bless You.
Mr. ALSHEIKH RAHMAN
