"naseralbeloosh11@katamail.com"
From Bahrain

Hello Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which
I believe will be a surprise to you as we have never met
before, and I am deeply sorry if I have in any manner
disturbed your privacy. Please forgive this unusual manner
of contacting you. My name is Mr. Naser Al Belooshi, A Bahraini
national. I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .
It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and rightnow
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 alms 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, Somalia 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 four Million dollars($4,000,000.00)
that I have with a finance House abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 80% of this funds must go to victims of recent
disasters and another 20% for your effort and time. Upon receipt of
your response,
I shall communicate with you, and let you know the details of the
transfer.
Whatever your actions and your decision, I thank you for taking the
time to
read this email
Regards,
Mr.Naser Al Belooshi

Wow, they also attached a picture..!! Did you responded to the email? what was their reply?

We all need to be cautious about this kind of emails. They can even somehow hide their IP addresses in it..making it much harder.
