Subject: charity
Dear Beloved,
I greet you in the name of God Almighty.
I got your contact through prayers and painstaking efforts in my search for
a reliable and God fearing person to help me carry out my last wish.
My name is Mr.halifer kabal,from omani. Presently, I am in London where I am
receiving medical care.
Prior to my ailment, I was a merchant and business owner in Malaysia and
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. I was also married with five children. My
wife and five children died in a bomb blast in Iraq where there reside four
years ago. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money
was all I lived for. I never really cared about other values in life. But
since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes.
I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in some African
countries. Only recently, I saw on television the colossal loss of
properties and livelihood of people in Canberra, Australia through Water
flood. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a
contribution on assisting people over there.
Before I became ill, I kept $18,000,000 Million in a finance company.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for
esophageal cancer.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed
to the needy and other charity organizations. Because relatives and friends
have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the
finance company and distribute it accordingly. Use your judgment to
distribute the money and keep 20% of it to yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you
incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you
are willing to help, please forward to me your
(1) full name,
(2) home address,
(3) occupation,
(4) date of birth,
(5) telephone/fax numbers
for easy communication and to prepar the vital documents in your name as the
soul beneficiary of the funds.
Note please reply to my private e-mail

May God Bless you as you assist me in carrying out my last wish.
Regards,
halifer kabal
