Subject: ENDAVOUIR TO USE IT FOR THE SAID PURPOSE.
Mrs. MEENA SAYED.
Plot 5 flat six front Boston house
pmb: 22006 Jonesburg, South Africa.
Asallam-o-Alikum!... My Dear,
PLEASE ENDEAVOR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ALLAH.
I am formally Mrs. Joyce Morgan, now Mrs. Meena Sayed, a widow tolate Jeff Morgan. I am 61 years old, I am a new Muslim convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I won't live more than six months,according to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth. The doctors has advised me that I may not live for
more than six months, so I now decided to use part of this wealth, to
contribute to the development of the Islam in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. I Selected you after visiting the website for Muslim brothers and sisters or a good person that will help in using this fund for charitable
organisation and I prayed over it.
I am willing to donate the sum of $8,000.000.00 U.S dollars, to the less privileged and some Muslim societies for prorogation of Islamic religion and churches. Please I want you to note that this fund is lying here in South Africa and will be transferred to your nominated bank account upon my instruction. My international attorney, who is presently in South Africa for an assignment, will file in an application for the release of the money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when delivered to you will be sure
for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that the only way
I can find favor in the eyes of Allah is through my contributions in
the prorogation of Islamic religion and the less privileged.
May Allah bless you and your family,
Mrs. Meena Sayed.
