I recieved this message about a week ago through my email linked by several blog sites:

Charity

Dear friend,
Greetings in the name of the Lord,As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry for me,because, I know everyone will
die someday.
My name is Mr Sal Rabb 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 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 have willed out most of my property and assets to
my immediate and extended family members as well as a few
close friends.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,as I
want this 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 that 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 are not 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 dispatch it to
charity organizations.I have set aside 10% for your time.
God be with you.
Sal Rabb
