Subject: CHARITY MINDED NEEDED
Dear Charity Minded One, I greet you in the Name that is above all names, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is ALIU HASSAN, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with lung 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 my wife) 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 the Almighty 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, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds Ido 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 Iraq; 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 given to them. The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen Million dollars (US$18,000,000.00),kindly Acknowledge this message so that I will introduce you to my banking officer who will handle the transfer of receivership by you of the said funds. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I shall tell you where the fund is currently being maintained and also discuss modalities including remuneration for yourservices. For this reason I kindly need your help and that of charity organizations. May the Almighty be with you. MR.ALIU HASSAN.
