From Mrs.Habiba Ali
Beloved,
My Testimonies may come to you as a surprise due to the fact
that we have not yet met.
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 Arab Emirates.
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 in 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, in the UAE.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept
my soul so, I have decided to establish charity home/foundation, one
that would house so many poor brethren, as I want this to be one of the
last good deeds I do on earth.
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 contended 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, 000,000.00) 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 at least 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 don't 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 and assist me with good heart.
Please get back to me through my private email addres mrs.habibaali@live.com
God be with you.
Mrs.Habiba Ali
