Ah, If Only It Was So, Allah Be Merciful!

This cannot be seen as good in the eyes of Allah, via email:

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 ALH. Hassan Muhammad a crude oil merchant in Iran, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has defied 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 Allah 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 Allah 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 Allah to be merciful to me and accept my soul. I have decided to give the rest of my wealth 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 Austria, Cameroon, Liberia, 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 USA dollars ($8, 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.

Allah is with you.

ALH. Hassan Muhammad

And trust me, I would put US$800,000 to good use!

Shame on you!
