Subject: My Friend(Treat with Utmost Regards)Reply.
Dear Friend,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it
might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Saeed Ahmed,I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal 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 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 focused on my
business as that was the only thing I cared for.Butnow 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 God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God 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. So far, I have distributed money to some charity
organizations in the U.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
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 five
million dollars $5,000,000,00 that I have with a Security firm abroad. I
will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 30% for you and for your time.Please i want you to forward
your full names and contacts address to me,so i can present it before my
doctor to proceed further in this matter,i am with little strength please
write back.
Here below is attached pictures of myself in the hospital bed.l am looking
forward to read from you soonest,before i depart to meet the lord.Thanks and
God bless you as you respond on time.
Saeed Ahmed.
