Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
Assalam U Alaikum,
I am Amina Zoubi from Oman.I am married to Late Mallam Ali Zoubi of
blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Nigeria and Kuwait for twelve
years before he died in the year2003.We were married for twelve years
without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four
days.Before his death we were both 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 $15.million (fifteen Million,
U.S Dollars) with a Finance Company .
Recently,My doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to
cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my troke sickness.Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either an
organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instructs herein. I want this organization or individual to use
this money in all sincerity to fund mosques,church, orphanages, widows,
and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society
upholds the views and belief of the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on ALLAH'S benevolence and this has
encourage me to take the bold step.I took this decision because I don't
have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives
are new Christian's converts and I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an Unholy manner.Hence the reasons for this bold
decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficent
and the most merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health,because of the presence of my husband's
relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development.
I shall give you the contact information of my lawyer and the Finance
Company and the country in over sea where the money was deposited. I
will also issue a letter of authority to the Finance Company authorizing
them that the said fund Have being willed to you and a copy of such
authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the Muslim community
where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a
true devoted Muslims worthy of emulation.
Who ever 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 room in sourcing for a Muslim organization or a devoted
Muslim for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest
squarely on your shoulders.May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and
protect you.
Regards,
HAJIA Amina Zoubi.
