Subject: In the name of ALLAH,the most BENEVOLENT,the most MERCIFUL...
Beloved,
My Testimonies may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not met and are some miles apart. I have to say that I have no intentions of
causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.My name is Habiba Ali a merchant in the United
Kingdom. I have been diagnosed of 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 really not lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
people,not even myself but my business. Though very rich,but I was never
generous. I was always hostile to people and only focused 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 having all the money in the world.
I pray and believe that if God gives me a second chance to live I would live
a life different from how I have lived it. Now that God is about to call
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, in the UAE.
I want God to be merciful to me and also desire to leave alegacy
behind,Thus, i have decided to establish charity home/foundation,one that
would house so many poor children and the less privileged in our society, as
I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have
shared 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 build a
big charity home with the money which I have,they refused and kept the money
to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contempted with what I have left for them.The last of my money which no one
knows of is the huge cash deposit of thirteen million, Five hundred thousand
dollars ($13,500,000,00.00) that I have with a Financial Firm Abroad.I will
want you to help me collect this deposit and with the help of a friend
lawyer build charity homes/organizations.I have set aside 10% of the total
funds,for you and for your time.I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and have the charity homes built atleast in 3 different countries
with my name INSCRIPTED....HABIBA ALI FOUNDATION.
I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished as I dont want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish.
I am writing this from my Notebook computer in my hospital bed where I wait
for my time to come.You can get back to me with my personal email, I pray
that God uses you to support me with a good heart.
God be with you.
Habiba Ali(Mrs)
