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

Occasionally I get messages which are a little out of the norm. This is one of them.

This morning I received a message from Yahoo 360 from someone with the profile Charity Help. The profile photo shows a person who is obviously in hospital. Of course I instantly recognised this as a typical 419 scam, but the funny thing is the fellow in the photo has been posted here in 2005 suffering from Cancer. Then he was named Achmed Abdul-Azeez.

So it looks as though this poor fellow’s photos are being misused for these Cancer stories.

In this one he is called Mr. Salli and here is the message

Dear Friend,

Although this medium (Internet) has been greatly
abused,I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest,surest and most secured medium of
communication,besides it is my only means of
communication due to my condition.Also, this
correspondence is purely private, and it should be
treated as such,As you read this, I don t want you to feel
sorry for me,because,I know everyone will die

someday.My name is Mr. R Salli 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 doctor.I have not 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 have decided to give alms to

charity organizations,as I want this the last good deed I
do on earth.So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in asia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I

then asked members of my family to close all my
accounts and sell off all my properties and distribute the
money to charity organizations and keep only a certain
% to themselves but they refused and with aid of my

lawyer they 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 a cash
deposit of $5,000,000 that I have with a
finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 10% for your time.i shall

soon disable this page so please reply to
charitydream@gmail.com
God Bless you
