Subject: SOLICITING FOR YOUR HELP IN GIVING OUT MY FUNDS TO CHARITY

Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and 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 defied 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 was 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.
Please respond to me on this email address if you are willing to assist me, azeezabdul2005@netscape.net

This story is very similar to the Bates Alan-story, and the picture of the sick man is the same.

Dear Sir,
Many thanks for your response to my email and your willingness to carry out this on my behalf.
Well,to proceed with the process of getting the funds released to you by the security company i would need to offically instruct them by writing that i am giving up all rights to the deposit with them to you as the new and lawful beneficiary and that the deposit should be released to you.To be able to effect this i would need the following information from you which i will also need to forward to the security company to have it registered in their records and all relevant changes made from my name to your name as the new beneficiary to enable the claims:

(1) YOUR FULL NAMES
(2) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND CONTACT ADDRESS
(3) CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS ON WHICH YOU CAN BE REACHED

As soon as i recieve these information from you i will proceed to forward same to the security company and have them put in place all modalities to make contacts with you and effect release of the deposit to you on my behalf and without any delays.

I await your response and thanks once again for your time and willingness in carrying this out on my behalf.
May God bless you.

Kind regards,
ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed

Dear Max,
Greetings to you and your family.I want to thank you for your email and the way you have handled this so far.I want you to understand basically how this will all go and if it is acceptable with you i will then proceed to forward your details to the security company and also provide you with their coordinates so you can initiate contacts with them on how to get the boxes containing the funds released to you before making deposition of the funds in an account for onward transmission to any further account of your choice to begin the charity work.
Please note that this would entail you travelling to the security firm's office in europe to personally make the claims as i do not want anything to go wrong with the boxes and in a case where you might not be able to travel you could arrange with the firm to air-freight the packages to you directly and if this is ok with you then i will proceed to provide you with the coordinates to begin this process of the claims.
I want to reassure you that there would be no problems whatsoever in this regards.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed

My dear friend Abdul,
I hope I can call you my friend since you will provide me with an abundance of money very soon. I hope you are still in good health. I have received an e-mail from "Platinium Security" somewhere in the Netherlands, where they ask me to provide additional information and to show up in person. This appears to me to be too complicated. Let me therefore recommend to you another approach to your pitiful situation not being able up to now to distribute $18 million to charity:

Since you seem to be terminally ill, you should never give up hope to be fully recovered, despite you have enormous stress because of your greedy relatives. Having said that, let me recommend you to fly as soon as possible to Vienna to get medical treatment. Vienna was approx. 50 years ago THE center for medical treatment. E.g. the Shah of Persia and Ibn Saud were treated here. For your information, my daughter is a young medical doctor here, and I do not know of any case where an oil magnate and multimillionaire as yourself has been dying under her treatment. So this is almost a guarantee for eternal life for you. From the photo you were so kind to send to me, I can see that you are getting intravenous nutrition. I will try to convince my daughter to add a few drops of 'Gr�ner Veltliner' (my favorite Austrian wine), so that you feel immediately in a better mood after your arrival. So please order a ticket today for one of the next flights to Vienna. Of course I will pay for you ticket (after I have received your funds). Please bring all the money with you in a suitcase, so that you can give it to me at the airport. I will then rush it to my bank during your transportation to a Viennese hospital.

I hope the following does not appear too greedy to you (in difference to your relatives). As I already told you, I am just taking 19.5% of the graciously by you offered 20% of the funds. As a matter of fact I don't care much about money. I just would like to live the rest of my live in luxury and abundance. Now that I am so close to the $18 million you are offering me, I can remember at my last stay at the Cote d'Azur where I saw a nice little chateau on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean sea. I hope you agree that I am using the rest of the funds (80.5 %) for charity to buy this chateau for a needy person like myself. Since I suspect that you offered $18 million not only to myself but to (hundreds?) of other persons as well, may I ask you for offering me another $18 million so that I can adequately live there and buy a yacht as well? I am looking forward to your positive answer and promise you that I will pray on the helicopter deck of the yacht every day to Allah for you that you have a great time in paradise, just in case you have not survived your stay in Vienna (as the Shah of Persia and Ibn Saud didn't survive either).

Abdul, in closing, I hope you find my suggestion reasonable. If not, just ask Karol Eaton or Joseph Smith from Platinium Security to distribute you millions to charity. In the meantime let me assure you that I am a believer that everyone will be judged by Allah (or god) according to the life he/she is living. E.g. if he/she is trying to trick people out of their money or if he/she is giving graciously millions away (as you do). Allah will bless you appropriately.

Best regards ...

Dear Max,
Thanks for your email.It is quite obvious that you are unserious and think i have time for your jokes.Well i am copying the office of Joseph Smith a copy of this email to stop every further correspondence with you on my behalf.

Thanks and have a good day.
ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed

Dear Abdul (or whatever your real name is),
I am sorry I have wasted your precious time. Has it ever crossed your mind that you wasted my (and of several other persons) time as well? I am also sorry to tell you that I just received a call from Mr. John Smith (or whatever his real name is), to inform me that you do not trust me anymore and that his company is not allowed to further continue to communicate with me. How have I lost your trust?

Now lets get serious. I think/trust you are a bunch of despicable criminals. You are not only tricking people out of their money, I received notice that you are in some cases also resorting to physical violence as well, which is totally unacceptable. You are not even very bright, because otherwise you would not have reacted to my very first (silly) answer to your e-mail. Also your story and your faked documents have so many holes, that it insults the intelligence of normal human beings. If I would have the time, I would track you down and bring you to your well deserved justice. One day (even without my help) you might end up in jail, where you guys belong to.

You might argue now that you only take money away from already wealthy (and greedy) people. But in reality I learned that many people who are in financial troubles with their own company or just their normal life, see your offer as a (last?) resort to get the needed money. And sometimes they get a loan or even steal the money from others to satisfy your faked requirements to get to the 'big money' you are offering them.

Which kind of feeling do you have if you are looking at yourself in the mirror? Success that you were again able to trick someone? Or do you see a despicable person with a very questionable character, that some day might end up in jail? If there is full justice in life (what I often doubt) you would end up as the person in the photo, you are faking to be. Perhaps you are not aware of the potential effects of positive and negative stress. Negative stress (such as fear of getting caught, knowledge of to belonging to scum of human beings, etc.) takes a toll at the body's immune system, Cancer of any kind (not only esophageal cancer of our 'common friend' Abdul) might be the outcome of that. Perhaps some day in your life you might remember our conversation.

Best regards ...
