Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Ali Mahmoud Ali Al-Qadamani,
a merchant in Jordan, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer which
was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all forms 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 these 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 live d it. Now that God ! has called me, 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.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and 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 Jordan, U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. 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 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 US$9.5m
(Nine million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) that I have with a Finance/security company in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to
charity organizations. I have set aside 20% for you for your time and
patience.
God be with you.
- MAHMOUD ALI
