To:

To A Trustworthy Friend,

How have you been doing? I know life would be treating you well with
its uttermost care. If I was in the same state of health like you are,
I would be the happiest. This letter 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. During the process of reading this, I don’t want
you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is ALEDU MARIAM, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I
have been diagnosed with prostate and oesophageal Cancer that was
discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all form of medicine 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 focus on my business as that

Your Beloved One,
ALEDU MARIAM
Thank you! PLS, REPLY TO: aledu.mariam@yahoo.com.hk

r. Shamsudeen Usman has been posted here before. Just click search for Usman and you will find a couple of examples.

The message goes on to say that he has some money from John Wheeler and asks if I want to inherit it.

Other than that, this is not all that easy to read, the formatting is all wrong.

Subject: GOOD-DAY,
To: undisclosed-recipients

NAME: AZIZZ .M. JAFAR
Occupation: Merchant/Trader
Age: 10/04/1960
Location: Dubai.

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 Azizz .M. Jafar a
merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal
cancer.

It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months tolive,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 also 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
Eight Million Dollars [$8, 000, 000, 00] that I have with ANZ BANK AND
SECURITIES.I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 40% for you and for your time.

God be with you,
AZIZZ M JAFAR.

This is unusual as it is in both English and, I suspect, Spanish.

The story goes someone is claiming to be my representative and the
crooks need my confimation that she really is my proxy. Of course, she
is not and that is what they are counting on. I should call them to
clear up the situation, I think.
