My friend Bates Alan (not to be confused with the late British actor Alan
Bates) has just emailed me. He needs my help. He's near death, and he's a
multi-millionaire who needs my help in spreading his riches to the poor --
and he's giving me 10%!

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 BATES ALAN 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
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, 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 eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 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.
God be with you.
BATES ALAN
