Usually we hear all kinds of bad News, the media seems to love it.

So let me just tell you something different, happened quite some time ago.

A Pakistani business man in Bangkok was exporting food items to Jordan. The bill was 100 thousand USD. The importer in Jordan was a simple man and did not know how to safely transfer the money. Therefore the Pakistani business man based in Bangkok said, ‘do not worry, I will come and collect the money’. And he did.

With 100 thousand USD in cash he approached a money exchanger’s desk. The money exchanger was on the phone. The Pakistani Business man put the bag on his desk. The money changer kept talking.

An employee of the Money Exchanger took the bag. The Pakistani Business man assumed that the staff will count the money. After a while the guy on the phone asked ‘what can I do for you’. Well, I put 100 thousand USD on your desk, can you make a bank transfer please.

BUT … the employee and the 100 thousand USD were gone !!!

Police were called, but no luck. No one could find the staff again. Ah, he is new, just joined me a few days ago!…

Well, the Pakistani Business man was waiting for the police to find the guy, but after a couple of weeks he said ‘Inna lilla he wa inna alaehe rajeoon’… and went to the airport to proceed to his next business meeting.

While waiting to board his name was called. A policeman said ‘my boss wants to speak to you’… Well, not too hopeful the business man was wondering what was going on.

When he reached to the Chief of Police of Amman, he was welcomed with ‘You must be a good man’ ! I am nearing my retirement and I have never seen something like that:

And he handed him his bag with 99500 USD !

What happened was that the young man run off to another town to his uncle. First he was welcome but after a few days the young man told his uncle that he took the bag of cash because he never saw so much cash before and it was just sort of a automatic reaction.

The unclde took him by the ear to the police station and said ‘no nephew of mine is a thief’ !

The police man of the other city took the money to the Chief of Police of Amman.

And the Chief of Police of Amman returned the cash to its owner.

Yes, there are good people in the world. Not only those we read about in the News…
