Subject: Endeavour

Dear sir,

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am
married to Late mallam Usmani Hussein of blessed
memory
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Sudan for nine years
before he died in the year 2000.

We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only
four days. Before his death we were both very devoted
muslims. Since his death I too have been battling with
both cancer and fibroid problems. When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of$8.6Million (Eight
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with an
oversea security company. Presently, this money is
still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me
most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition
I decided to donate this fund to either a muslem
organisation or devoted muslim individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein. I want this muslim organisation or
individual to use this money in all sincererity to
fund mosques, orphanages,widows and also propagating
the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society
upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Prophet(SWS)
an
enshrined in the Quran. The holy Quran emphasized so
much on
ALLAH'S benevolence and this has encouraged me to take
this bold step.
I took this decision because I don?t have any child
that will inherit
this
money and my husband relatives
are new Christians converts and I don?t want my
husband?s hard earned money to be misused by people I
call unbelievers. I don?t want a situation where this
money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the
reason for taking this bold decision. I know that
after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficient,
the merciful.
I don?t need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my
health
and because of the presence of my husband?s relatives
around me always. I don?t want them to know about this
development. With ALLAH all things are possible. As
soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you
a letter of authority that will prove you as the
original beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
Muslim community where you reside to always pray for
me and
other sick people and ask Almighty Allah to grant us
His mercies.

My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted
muslim worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to
serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in
fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your
life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing for a muslim organisation or a devoted muslim
for this same purpose.

Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on
your shoulders. I beg of you to reply to this mail

May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect
you and your family.

NB:due to the nature of this transcaction,i would like you to send
me your reply through my private email box.(usmani@katamail.com)

wassalam,

ASMUA LARBA USMANI
