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.
