Dear Friend,



As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe

everyone will die someday.

My name is BATES ALAN a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.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 soul so, I have decided to give

alms 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 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.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen

million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company

abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to

charity organizations.

I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.



God be with you.



BATES ALAN

I've received a few like that by e-mail over the past 3 or 4 years. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I've never even won so much as my money back on the lottery and am hopeless at gambling. I've had to slog hard for everything I have.



Therefore, if someone wants to give me money for nothing I am immediately suspicious.



In HK nobody would give you time of day to discuss what to do with a bag of money - they'd think it was a scam and walk off...at least the HK I know are for the most part a very suspicious bunch
