Subject: Hello my brother
Hello,
How are you doing? I am RAHMAN HUSSEIN a merchant in Bahrain,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. 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 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 sou. 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, India 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.
I will want you to help me collect my last deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations which I
deposited in security/finance house abroad,which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of (Twenty
five Million,Five Hundred Thousand U.S dollars) I have set aside 25% for you,then 5% for any expenses
insured.
If you are interested, please send your prompt reply to my confidential email address below which you will
have to reply to if you will be kind enough to assist;
