Late actor, Haitham Ahmed Zaki fiancée, Engy Salama, energy expert, penned an emotional open letter to him, week after his death.

Salama wrote a long post on Facebook, saying: "I wrote this despite I am not capable of writing anything, however, I told myself anything that could benefit anyone from this, its deeds will go to Haitham's balance of good deeds,"

She continued: "As I prepare myself to meet you, I thought to myself, God tests us through the trials of life, we might feel that the test is big and difficult, however, God said: (Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return),"

"We need to remember that, we do not have anything except god, and in the end, we will return to God, no matter how our hearts got attached to someone or something," Salama added.

"We must prepare for this day and begin to be familiar with god's names, qualities, and beauty, in order to make the day we meet our death to be the happiest day of our lives,"

Salama used two Quranic verses: (The ones whom the angels take in death, [being] good and pure; [the angels] will say, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you used to do."), and ( It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know")"

"Those who were changed by Haitham or affected by him, to take Haitham in account when you do any good deeds, and to always pray for him, may God reunites us with all our loved ones in the highest paradise without precedent of torment and reproach or account," she concluded.

Haitham was found dead on November 7 in his villa in Sheikh Zayed City, at the age of 35.

The young actor has died of natural causes after suffering a sudden circulatory collapse.

He was buried in his family’s cemetery in the 6th of October city, next to his father, and his father’s friend, actor Mamdouh Wafi, who was a shining example of a loyal and faithful friend.

Haitham was born on April 4, 1984. He made his film acting debut in 2006 film “Halim” at the age of 22.

It was a biopic about the Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafez.

The film’s production started in 2005 with Ahmed Zaki co-starring as the lead actor, however, he passed away March 27, 2005, before the film’s completion, so, Haitham completed it.

The young actor had received high raves over his performance in the film, which led to his first leading role in 2007 film “Albliatcho”.

Haitham stopped acting for three years before returning in 2010 through TV series, “Al-Gama’a”, written by genius Wahid Hamid, which was followed by many successful productions such as “Kaf Alqamar”, “Bitter Sugar”, “The Treasure: Truth and Imagination”, “The Treasure 2”, “Al-Gama’a”, “Dawaran Shubra”, “El-Safaa”, “Elsabaa Wasaya”, “Embratoreyet Meen”, “Ostaz Wa Ra’ees Kesm”, and “Kalabsh 2”.

Haitham’s last artistic work was 2019’s TV series “Alamet Estefham” (Question Mark), which premiered during the holy month of Ramadan.
