Subject: PLEASE REMEMBER ME IN YOUR PRAYERS
RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS:
No:62 Al Rashid Road
CAPE TOWN


My Dear,
Asallam-o-Alleikum!...



I am Mrs. MARIAM YASAR, a 60years old widow from Afghanistan,wife of late
ISMAEL YASAR. My husband was killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism
in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage AllAh did not bless us
with any child.

Now, I am very close to my grave,suffering from cancer of the breast and TB
complications at Al Rashid Hospital Cape Town,South Africa.From all
indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that
I won't survive from the sickness,according to my doctor.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited all his
business and wealth.Due to what my doctor said about my health,I decided to
use part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the Islam and
charity homes in Africa,America, Asia, Europe,and other parts of the world.

I selected you in this work of Allah,because I need a good person that
will help in using this fund for charitable organization and I prayed over
it before I made the choice because we do not know each other.So, I am
willing to donate the sum of eight million united states dollars
($8,000.000.00 U.SD),to the less privileged and some Muslim
societies/organizations for propagation of Islamic religion and churches.
Please I want you to note that this fund is lying here in South Africa where
my late husband deposited it for security resons and it will be released to
any of your bank accounts upon my instruction,pending if and when I and my
lawyer/financial Adviser is quite convinced that the fund would be used as
directed.Then my financial Adviser, 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 used
for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that this is the only
way I can find favor in the eyes of Allah ; through my contributions in the
propagation of Islamic religion and assistance to the less privileged.Please
do not use this money for any other thing except the purpose I have asked
you.


May Allah bless you and your family,
MRS. MARIAM YASAR
