Your Letters

A selection of some of the most recent emails and letters you have sent to Mohamed:

 

Your biography brought a smile to my face. Thank you. Cathy.

I believe in truth, justice, true love, in eternal spirit and in doing whatever we can to help others. I wanted you to know these things, and that even after 14 years, there are people out there who haven't forgotten; who will never forget. And we think of you. Lisa, UK.

Thank you for all that you do for the people in the UK and in other countries. You are an example to us of a successful businessman and a very good person. Natalia

It is truly inspiring to know that you have enjoyed such tremendous success, depsite the Establishment being against you. I hope I can one day give back to my community, like you do to yours. George, USA.

My heart grieves for you; I saw the love in your eyes when you spoke of Diana. I have no doubt that  you thought of her as a daughter and loved her children as well. Your son and the Princess will never be forgotten. I am grateful to you and your family for giving Diana some peace and joy in her heart before her unnecessary death. Peace be with you. Kathy, US.

Diana is with your son Dodi today, as she was in the end of her natural life. Take comfort in your own knowledge of their relationship. Rachel, UK.

Your achievements in business and as a man are brilliant. Thank you. Pritesh, UK.

I am so proud that you are Egyptian, and that I can tell my children about your story of success. We will always remember Dodi and Diana, the innocent victims - they are in a better place now. Yasmine, Egypt.

Thank you for sharing your life with us. Zulfiker, Bangladesh.

I am writing to say you are an inspiration, your generosity and love for your family is commendable. Helping others in their time of need is something you clearly do well. I hope that I can achieve my goal to help others as you have. Louise, UK.

People really are able to live their dreams whilst fighting terminal illnesses thanks to you and your kindness. We cant find the words to tell you what an amazing thing you do. Read more.

There's never a day I do not think about Diana, Princess of Wales and my son Dodi. Bernadet, UK.

I had tears flowing down my face when I saw your name as the sponsor for a child with a face deformity on the Facing The World Charity website. I then proceeded to go to your personal website and found out about the many, many causes you support. On behalf of Hong An and all of those whose lives were bettered by your kind heart, I thank you. You are truly a remarkable man. Fabiola Larkin, USA.

Just a short note to say thank you for taking the time to speak briefly to myself and my son George after today's game. Obviously you meet many people everyday and it must be difficult especially on match days. You commented to George that he had the same hat on as you, when you were leaving the Riverside stand after the game.It really made his day and he could’nt wait to get home and tell his Mum and younger brother. Geoff.

It is known in the philanthrophic circle worldwide, of your golden heart to help children and give them a platform. Thank you for all that you have done. Anita, India.

I was very moved by your biography. Charity is a sacred thing. Thank you for everything. Sevda.

I am writing to express my personal gratitude for all you have done for Fulham FC. I am a long standing Fulham supporter, having first visited the Cottage in 1960. I recognise the full commitment you have to Fulham, and I applaud you. Loyalty is a rare attribute in football these days, which makes your loyalty to Fulham all the more remarkable. Martin.
 
Fantastic result that Oxted Sandpit has been removed from Surrey Minerals plan! Many of us have worked very hard on these issues but we could not have challenged SCC so vigorously without your support, and I send you my heartfelt thanks for this. Phil.

A few days ago I saw a TV interview in which you were talking about your son Dodi and Princess Diana, and I thought that death is often unfair. In your eyes I saw a lot of pain, but also so much humanity. Thank you. Anna, Italy.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences for the loss of your son. I understand that the British establishment has treated you somewhat disrespectfully over the years, and as an Englishman I can only feel shame. Michael.

I have son called Amorangi. Amorangi means 'heavenly support' and I understand, when you commented with affection that Dodi's name at birth meant 'pillar of faith'. My son was, to me, heavenly support when his sister passed away two years prior and he has and will always be heavenly support. I know your son is still your pillar of faith. Read more.

I stand by everything you are doing to make the truth come out - maybe one day it will all be made public. Kimberley, UK.

Thank you for your perseverance in pursuit of the truth. I am pleased you backed the film that shows the world the deceptiveness in the reporting of this dreadful crash. As a parent, I cannot come close to imagine the pain you have suffered, and I applaud you for your strength and courage. Elsa, USA.

I was glad to read this movie was made. I firmly believe Diana was killed along with your son, and I hope that one day the real truth will come out. In closing, I was contemplating shutting down my small family business, but when I read your biography and saw what you built up from the ground, it inspired me to keep fighting. Thank you. Astrid, USA. 

Thank you for backing the documentary about Dodi and Diana's deaths. Like many people, I also believe they were killed. It's shocking to learn that none of the royal family testified; that none of the security cameras in the tunnel were working, etc... of course it was murder. I admire you for your courage, and if I was in your shoes, I'd do the same thing. Lynn, USA. 

I believe you 110%. Accidents don't happen like that. I am glad that you have pushed for the truth all these years, and I am glad this movie is out there - the truth is now there for those that want to listen. Peter, Australia.

I was only 11 when your son and Diana lost their lives in the alleged car 'accident'! The world lost two innocent, beautiful people who will never be forgotten. I did not know your son, but I am sure he will be so proud looking over you. I am so sorry for your devastating loss. Sarah, UK.

So many people support you in England and America. I hope the new documentary - Unlawful Killing - does really well and that people will one day see the truth of that night. Darren, UK.

I have been following your pursuit of the truth for many years. I also respect you tremendously for all the charitable work you do and appreciate the opportunity of being able to write to you. Miriam, USA.

I want to congratulate you for your attitude of courage, dignity and loyalty in honouring your great friend, our beloved, Michael Jackson, with the statue at Fulham FC. I watched the game on Saturday and was rooting for Fulham! Read more.

Today is Dodi`s birthday.  Love and Justice for Dodi. God bless you.  Emma, Brazil. 

You are a wonderful father. Thank you for sharing your son's life.  I am very sorry for your loss, and the world's. Thank you also for all of the great things you have done in your life... and for the beautiful website tribute to you loved son. Daralyn, USA.

Thank you for allowing me and many of Egypt's youth to interact with you via this website. I am proud that there is an Egyptian businessman like you. I hope that God sustains you health and success. Ramy, Egypt.

It is touching that a man of your stature has taken the time to portray Michael in such a positive light. Thank you for standing up for him when he needs it most. Prashant, USA.

Firstly, as far as I (and all of my Fulham supporting friends and family) am concerned you can put a statue of anyone one you like at Fulham, without you I doubt there would still be a Fulham FC, at least not the Fulham that we all know and love today. Read more.

For all these years I have felt that you were cheated in the most unkind way. I watched you being shunned and lied to, and that touched me deeply. I watched you face those who lied with courage. I admire you for all that you are; in a way, you gave me the courage to carry on with my life when things were at their darkest. Thank you. Marie, UK.

May you be blessed for founding the AlFayed Charitable Foundation charity - keep doing this for people. Mubarak, Gambia.

As local Oxted residents with a family of infant children looking to grow through the system of schools most closely affected by the Oxted Sandpit Mineral Plans, we would like to wholeheartedly support your opposition to these plans. Stephen, Oxted, UK.

I just finished reading your biography. You have done some amazing things and are a remarkable person.  I wish there were more people in this world that use their money for good and for the good of others. I thank you for making this world a better place. Sara, USA. You have one of the most beautiful websites I have ever seen. I was especially moved by the section that highlighted your wide ranging philanthropy activities and I will sincerely do my up-most to help the hospices under question. Read more.

I remember so well the death of your son and Diana, and wanted to convey my sympathy. But that sympathy was tainted with anger; anger at the way the BBC portrayed the event and tried to paint you colour you were not. You are a very generous man and I take my hat off to you. Ann, UK.

My family admire your bravery; you are truly a crown over every man’s head. We praise you and see you as a role model. Rezalla.

Thank you for your continued support for Oxted. John, UK.

I came across your website by accident and I was so pleased to read about your biography. I heard about you since you have been mentioned many times in business books. Your life story is reach and fascinating and the simplicity in which you tell it really touched me. I really admire the way you have handled the down-slopes of your life. Francois, Mexico .

I am a great admirer of yours and your stance against the royal family. I hope that you will continue your campaign against them. Ian, UK.

As the father who lost his son, please remember that you were a part of their happiness when they were alive, and you have every reason not to regret anything -  even though their love was short lived, it was true love a love which some never find.

You are a beautiful person Mr. Al Fayed and to many you have unique qualities that even the royals cannot buy. Please be proud of your son who gave Diana something that Charles never could, true love and happiness. David, Thailand.

I was very surprised and impressed by your contributions to the economy of Britain and the historic homes and hotels you personally had restored. It is a disgrace that after all the things you did for this country, you were still treated so poorly. You are a great man and people have not given you the credit you deserve, but I am sure god will. May God bless you and your family. Tony, UK.

It is my pleasure to greet you with respect and distinction, while to express my sincere condolences on the untimely death of your beloved Dodi. I hope that God in His great mercy has given you strength and comfort. Teresa, USA.

I have worked for Harrods Aviation and yourself for many years and can honestly say I have enjoyed almost every day working for you. Thank you, Mike.

I am very sorry for the loss of your son and Diana. They were beautiful people. I have always believed it was the British royalty that had something to do with their death. Robin, USA.

You have inspired me to be stronger in my dreams and to try to help others. I believe that how you have done these things and through your compassion, you have made the world a better place...  Read more.

I am really proud of your work - you are the greatest and most wonderful personality in the world, Sadiq, Egypt.

I think about you each day because of your strength, determination and love for your son. You have always demonstrated kindness and love. Dodi, Diana and your grandchild will stay in your heart forever. What a beautiful family of Angels they make. Read more.

I will remember you for the rest of my life because of your sincerity, generosity and the strength you have given and show, not just to Jade but to the nation. You really are a true gentleman Mohamed Al Fayed, may your god bless you. Extract from an email. Read more
