I reckon I have commented this kind of scam e-mail a dozen times already. It’s the cancer tear jerker appealing to people’s good naturedness.

By the way the domain “saeedahmed.org” does exist, which is very unusual. It’s parked at a French host provider without any content. The domain was set up in April 2008.

Now why would a dying man set  up a new domain? I reckon we will see more of this fellow in the future.

Here are the registration details and as you can see, Saeed Ahmed is a Nigerian.

Am I surprised? Of course not!

Dear Friend,

As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone  will die someday,and am contacting you because i  really do need your help,and i want you to help me with all your effort and time for just seven to fourteen workings days of your time.I want you  to be honest and truthfull with me that you will help  me with my last  wish as a dying man. My name is Saeed Ahmed 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 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 any more. I once asked members of my family to close one o f 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 in side two boxes that I have with a Finance/Diplomatic Company Abroad. I will want you to Act as my Beneficiary who will help me contact the security finance company on my behalf to discuss the terms and condition of getting this deposit out from thier custody and also helping me to dispatch it to the charity organisations  Reply to this email with your full names,contact address,tel number  and fax to enable me ask my doctors lawyer to arrange for you a power of attorney that will give you full legal backing as my beneficiary.

Kindly get back to me with trust and sincerity that you will help me on this regards.Here is my personal mail box:saeed-ahmed102@live.com

I have set aside 30% for you and for your time. God be with you.
Saeed Ahmed.

I just got this e-mail this morning. Achmed Abdul-Azeez says he has cancer of the esophagus. This person is using the same text as has been often seen before.

This time however, he sent not only three e-mails, but with the second he sent a photo.

This is just to try and prove that he is honest and sincere about what is written in the e-mail! Don’t forget, the e-mail is a standard text and is often in use! So there cannot be any truth behind the e-mail and picture.

Of course the question is, is the man in the picture Achmed or not? I don’t believe that is important. The main thing is, people believe it is Achmed and have pity on his situation.

Considering the world wide move to help the Indian Ocean rim after the Tsunami. Achmed is appealing to people to help donate his money for charity work. Why doesn’t he talk to his bank? Simple, the scam only works this way. He needs victims who willingly cooperate with him, thinking they are helping, but are only being taken for a ride.

Here’s the e-mail:

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you and a Happy and prosperous 2005.Please permit me to introduce myself.

I am Mr. ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed a SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant before I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled all medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to live.

As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on my sick bed.

If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now. As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.

I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends on this as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Eighteen million U.S Dollars ($18,000,000,00) stashed in 2 trunk boxes and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a finance/Security Company in Europe. All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds
for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims.

Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited.

God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as soon as possible if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on my behalf. Find attached a picture of me along with this email for your perusal.
