I hardly stopped posting one before the next one comes in!

Believe me there are days, where these e-mails come in every couple of minutes or so. This is one of those days!

This one poses a couple of questions:

1.) I have never heard of an Omani with a Anglo-Saxon name, have you?
2.) If he wanted to donate his money to charity, he would just have to apoint a lawyer as trustee.
3.) This story reminds me of Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. Could it be that one of these people read the book?

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 Peter edwards I a merchant of Omani nationality but presently residing in Britain. 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 Oman, 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 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you.please reply me via this email below peter_ed22@excite.com

Regards,
Peter Edwards.
