My name is Hassan Mohammed. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.

Hassan Mohammed says: "the money is in physical cash in $100 dollar bills"
	Hello, I am Miss Young. I received this story from a friend. Let me call him Paul.	Go to the homepage to see more stories.
	Miss young, I have received many stories over the years but then I got one that was unique and he got my attention and kept it going with pictures and an incredibly convincing story. He called himself Hassan Mohammed. He sent pictures of himself in the hospital and had a very convincing answer to everyone of my objections. His operation had connections in Amsterdam. Apparently they are not interested in doing their victims any harm, because they strongly discouraged me from traveling to Amsterdam to pick up the "trunk boxes". Anyway I am out $1,800 and then I stumbled across your website. Lesson learned. Thanks for creating your website hopefully others will find it sooner than I did and save themselves some time and money. Take care,
	This was the original letter he sent me.
	From: Hassan Mohammed <mailto:hasmohammed24@hotmail.com> To: undisclosed-recipients: Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 Subject: Kindly Fulfill My Last Wish From: Hassan Mohammed Email: moshammed24@aim.com Greetings. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Mohammed a trader 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 trade. Though I am very well to do, I was never open handed, I was always hostile to people like they never had hopes of becoming as successful as myself. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to be prosperous. 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 belonging 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. Hence I have decided to give also to charity, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have been able to reach out to a few 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 aid me in giving of alms to those organizations catering for the less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what I have left for them. The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the huge deposit of eighteen milion US dolls that I have in a safe keeping Company abroad, which I will want you to secure and dispatch to charity organizations. Please endeavour to reply me on my direct email address of moshammed24@aim.com for intimacy, as I'll be awaiting your quick response. For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you. God be with you. Hassan Mohammed.
	Here was the first contact with pictures.
	From: moshammed24@aim.com Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 Subject: From Hassan Mohammed Dear Paul, Thanks for your mail and your concern.in my last mail to you i introduced myself and gave you a summary of the present predicament i have found myself and how i lived my life(financial-wise).my failing health has necessitated my present over view of life and the meaning of life itself as it relates to day-to-day living.even surgery which is a last resort has been done but the cancer has already spread into the stomach and intestines.Find attached evidences of my present health status under Intensive care unit in my hospital bed, may Allah accept my soul. It is for this same reason i have randomly searched through the internet email directory to find somebdy who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of US$18 (Eighteen)million dollars to charitable organisations as he or she deems fit,since i cannot do this myself due to my failing health.it was this random search that yeilded your contact email address with which i sent you my first email.note that this was just a probing move to establish contact,because i am sure you know as well as i do that most people would snatch at the offer considering the large amount involved and more also since the disbursement of this fund would be entirely in the hands of the claimant.for this reason i felt that after our initial communication i should be able to determine if we can proceed based on certain indices as well as intuitive feeling i would deduce. I hope my first mail did not emabarrass you? if it did,i apologise for this.the fund in questions is privately kept and i wanted to put it in capable hands for disbursement.other such funds that i left to my relatives to disburse to charity were all plundered and used for their personal purposes.for this reason i have decided that within the confines of my hospital room and the privacy of my computer(to which i have internet connection) to look for a suitable person to transfer ownership of the deposit to,and after claiming the money,disburse 90% of the to various charitable organisations of your choice in various countries and then retain 10% of the money for your effort.the money is in physical cash in $100 dollar bills packed inside two metallic trunk boxes deposited in the security vault of a private finance/security company in The Netherlands.this is not a business proposal and i do not expect any returns or share of the money.i am dying and i have distributed most of my earthly possessions to various individuals,groups and organisations.this deposit is the bulk of what is left.it is unknown to my other relatives.if i do not find a suitable person to disburse the funds as i plan to,then on my death the finance/security company holding the deposit would have to notify my next of kin to claim the deposit as stipulated on the deposit agreement.and from what i have seen of how they spent the other funds i designated for the same purpose,leaving the fund in their care would be a collosal waste of all i have worked and lived for. If you would be able to help me fulfil this last living request,i would need you to get back to me on the following issues, 1.That you are in a position to be trusted with such a large amount of fund,and that you have a heart for charity and thus would not have any problems locating the rigth charity and human aid groups to disburse the fund to.it would be nice to know what charities you have in mind to donate the money to. 2.That you are ready to work honestly with my humble person who will finalise the process for this transaction,send you all relavant deposit documents as well as send you the necessary authorisation document to retrieve the deposit on my behalf and disburse the fund. 3.That you are willing to contact the security company holding the deposit to discuss the terms of releasing the trunk boxes and bear the expenses that would be involved so the deposit can be released to you. 4.That you fully understand this transaction up to this stage and you are ready to proceed under these terms. Please send your full contact details as i requested in my first mail.I will need you to send me your direct tel/fax number and your full address. I await further communication. Regards, Hassan Mohammed.

My dearest brother i want to re-assure you in all entirety that this project is very much for real,legal,safe and most importantly 100% riskfree. I will protect my last wish and my funds with my last drop of blood and i will not tolerate any act that will put my life, your life or the funds in question in danger. I have been in this facility for 2years and this people basically knows my routine daily, i am doing this project with you in shrouded secrecy and i know how vicious and dangerous my family members or business associates alike are and by your doing you are trying to stir the hornets nest. I have given you the name of the hospital and address since you have so much doubt in my person because of shipment fees of ?2750 that you are asking me questions that berate my trustworthiness and honesty to you, i never doubted your ablility i only place my trust and faith in Allah for you to fulfill my last wish religiously even if you do otherwise you must eventually get your reward. You can fly down to Rio de Janeiro here in Brazil to come visit me and i will be more than happy to receive you but i will not do anything that will bring undue suspicion to my person here and there is a limit to which i can make demands to the management of this medical facility because i am presently under Intensive Care Unit and it will arouse great suspicion.Please i hope you know you are dealing with a very sick man battling a terminal illness and there is a limit to which i can get some needed requirements for you, all my travelling documents including my passport is with the medical authorities for safe keeping and will be released only eventually if i overcome this illness and i am discharged to go home or i am transferred out of Brazil or to any other medical facility of which in my present state i have no use for it which is the truth. On a matter of finality, i want to let you realise something, i have my pride even in the advent of death staring me in the face, if i lose you today no problem but my great joy on earth is i will never afford to lose my funds presently in the trunks that will leave a lasting legacy for my humble self. Please if you are not ready to trust me and give me the benefit of the doubt so that you receive these trunks and verify the actual contents and i will be totally vindicated in your eyes, please return my documents to me immediately, if you are not satisfied with whatever i have told you from the beginning please do not enter any correspondence with me no more just return my documents to my person, i am a man of little words but great actions, i have prayed to Allah and i will take it in good faith as the will of Allah for you not to fulfill my last wish and i will wait forth for the chosen one by Allah as far as i am still alive and once i get this task successfully completed i will notify you again via email to give me any charity organization closer to your heart and i will make donations to firstly so that even after my demise or exit from this world i will be totally vindicated and have proven my legitmacy and honesty. I have no interest whatsoever for your hard earned funds and never will i be a party to cheat or dishonesty, i am a devout muslim and i respect our holy book of quaran. Find attached my pictures in my early years before my illness and in the hospital. Wassalam. Hassan Mohammed.

	From: Darmstardt Trust And Finance <mailto:customer-service@dtfs-company.com> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 Subject: ATTN: PAUL ATTN: PAUL DEAR PAUL, HOW ARE YOU TODAY. WE ARE IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL NORMALLY WE DON'T GRANT SUCH REQUEST BUT DUE TO OUR LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH MR HASSAN MOHAMMED WE ARE COMPELLED TO OBLIGE YOU. FIND ATTACHED THE TRUNKS IN OUR FACILITY. SINCERELY YOURS, RICHARD MOORE.
	Paul decided to stop at this point. The story about a man dying from Esophageal cancer has been used many times before. See the Salim Ibrahim, the BATES Alan and the ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed stories. The documents from "Darmstadt Trust and Finance Security Company" are fake. The company does not exist. The telephone number is a mobile phone (that did not exist when the documents were signed in year 2000 !). The pictures from the hospital are in fact pictures of an american doctor, Larry, that died in 2005. He published his diary on the Internet, including many photos.
	From Larry's diary.
	End of story.
	Some months later H.C. sends me this:
H.C.	Thank God for your web site. Please find attached same pictures, and slightly modified shipment statement for "Darmstadt Trust and Finance Company". The letters that "Paul" received from Hassan, Mohammad, Abdullah are exactly the same. Please continue to publish all the web scams that people forward to you. It has been a life saver for me that has prevented me from making a big mistake. Thank-you again.
