    Is this a scam?
    Replied that I was interested.

    Email:

    Dear Friend,

    Assalamu alleikum.
    Thanks for your mail and your concern. In my last mail to you i introduced myself and gave you a summary of the present situation i have found myself and how i lived my life. 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.
    It is for this same reason i wrote you in my quest to find somebody who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on this fund privately to help the less fortunate as you deem fit, since i cannot do this myself. However, you have to understand that this is 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. 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 message did not emabarrass you? if it did,i apologise for this. The money in questions is privately kept; such funds that i left to my relatives to disburse 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 look for a suitable person to fulfil this last wish of mine and then retain 10% for your effort. The fund is physical cash in $100 bills packed inside two metallic boxes deposited in the vault of a private finance/security company in the Netherlands. This is what i have left, unknown to my relatives. If i do not find a suitable person to secure the funds as i plan to, at my demise, the company would have to notify my next of kin to come forward for the deposit as stipulated on the deposit agreement. 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 large amount, and that you have a heart for charity and thus would not have any problems locating the right human aid groups. It would be nice to know which ones you have in mind.

    2.That you are ready to work honestly with me to finalise the process for this project, as i send you all pertinent documentation authorizing you to retrieve the deposit on my behalf.

    3.That you are willing to contact the company to discuss the terms of releasing the 2 boxes and also bear the expenses that would be involved to have them released and delivered to you.

    4.That you fully understand this project up to this stage and are ready to proceed under these terms.

    I would also like you to tell me more about yourself and what you do presently.

    Wasalam.

    Sheikh Mohammed.

            Sheikh Mohammed,

            Assalamu alleikum.

            I hope you are doing well and your lovely wife is staying strong. Is there a way I could meet one of your associates in Newark, New Jersey to discuss the details. I am barreled-in at rebatewager.com and am in need for cash. I have enclosed a picture of myself...

                                      Dear Michael,

                                      Thanks for your mail. My confidence in you increases with every mail you send. As i have said, i do not intend to give you any specific list of charities. I am leaving that to your discretion. As long as lives are touched positively. I may not know the specific people that would eventually receive the aid and benefits, but I would be satisfied knowing that their lives have been changed through my assistance. It’s like feeding the birds; you do not need to know them or where they come from. you just derive pleasure knowing that you have provided food to living creatures who would be happier and better for it. That is the way life should be, this is my new approach to life and existence.

                                      By way of further introduction, before my illness i was a successful business man running a private accounting firm that managed accounts for some major league players in the United Arab emirates oil economy, west indies and Africa and i invested greatly into commodity trading. My wife died two years ago in a car accident. I have no children of my own. It’s also nice to hear that you are having more faith in what i am saying to you. Lying on my sick bed sometimes i have realized that nothing is too uncertain to be true. Two years ago, if i had been told that i would find myself in this condition i would have doubted it. now it is for real and i have to cope with it. My illness has changed my approach to life and how things work. Ordinarily i could have gotten some big time attorney to handle this issue, but i wanted it to be random. There are a lot of random energy that make up life itself. Some call this fate and some call it destiny. the same factor brought me cancer and it is now bringing you a unique opportunity to be of service to mankind.

                                      Most of my wealth and possession have already been given to various charities or plundered by my relatives. That deposit in question is the only possession i have left. The cancer has eaten deep into me and it is very necessary that we try to conclude this matter as soon as possible. The most important thing now is for you to secure the release of the deposit so I am assured the money will not be put to waste.
                                      In this regard, i will provide you with the very important documents backing the legitimacy of this process, where you will see the contact name and number of the personnel in charge of the trunks in the security company. Firstly, you will call the official in charge of International shipment and introduce yourself as my representative, you will find out the status of the boxes in their storage and duly instruct them to ship the boxes to your direct location.
                                      Once they have been delivered, we shall then begin to make adequate arrangement on how we can disburse the funds to reputable aid organizations. Like i rightfully informed you 10% will be given to you for your assistance and for reimbursing you for the cost of securing the boxes which will be incurred in the course of this project including your phone bills.

                                      So i want you to quickly furnish me with;
                                      1. your full names,
                                      2. your full address and
                                      3. your direct telephone and fax number so that i can send across to you the important paper works needed to proceed in this noble project of ours.

                                      My warm regards goes to you and your family.
                                      Wassalam.

                                                Thanks for your mail. My confidence in you increases with every mail you send. As i have said, i do not intend to give you any specific list of charities. I am leaving that to your discretion. As long as lives are touched positively. I may not know the specific people that would eventually receive the aid and benefits, but I would be satisfied knowing that their lives have been changed through my assistance. It’s like feeding the birds; you do not need to know them or where they come from. you just derive pleasure knowing that you have provided food to living creatures who would be happier and better for it. That is the way life should be, this is my new approach to life and existence.

                                                By way of further introduction, before my illness i was a successful business man running a private accounting firm that managed accounts for some major league players in the United Arab emirates oil economy, west indies and Africa and i invested greatly into commodity trading. My wife died two years ago in a car accident. I have no children of my own. It’s also nice to hear that you are having more faith in what i am saying to you. Lying on my sick bed sometimes i have realized that nothing is too uncertain to be true. Two years ago, if i had been told that i would find myself in this condition i would have doubted it. now it is for real and i have to cope with it. My illness has changed my approach to life and how things work. Ordinarily i could have gotten some big time attorney to handle this issue, but i wanted it to be random. There are a lot of random energy that make up life itself. Some call this fate and some call it destiny. the same factor brought me cancer and it is now bringing you a unique opportunity to be of service to mankind.

                                                Most of my wealth and possession have already been given to various charities or plundered by my relatives. That deposit in question is the only possession i have left. The cancer has eaten deep into me and it is very necessary that we try to conclude this matter as soon as possible. The most important thing now is for you to secure the release of the deposit so I am assured the money will not be put to waste.
                                                In this regard, i will provide you with the very important documents backing the legitimacy of this process, where you will see the contact name and number of the personnel in charge of the trunks in the security company. Firstly, you will call the official in charge of International shipment and introduce yourself as my representative, you will find out the status of the boxes in their storage and duly instruct them to ship the boxes to your direct location.
                                                Once they have been delivered, we shall then begin to make adequate arrangement on how we can disburse the funds to reputable aid organizations. Like i rightfully informed you 10% will be given to you for your assistance and for reimbursing you for the cost of securing the boxes which will be incurred in the course of this project including your phone bills.

                                                So i want you to quickly furnish me with;
                                                1. your full names,
                                                2. your full address and
                                                3. your direct telephone and fax number so that i can send across to you the important paper works needed to proceed in this noble project of ours.

                                                My warm regards goes to you and your family.
                                                Wassalam.
                                                Sheikh Mohammed.

                                                      I hope you are doing well and your lovely wife is staying strong. Is there a way I could meet one of your associates in Newark, New Jersey to discuss the details. I am barreled-in at rebatewager.com and am in need for cash. I have enclosed a picture of myself...
