Subject: Beloved One
*Dear Beloved One, *
*Assalam Alaikum*
*I send my love and greetings to you. *
* *
*I am Mrs. Saint Abdul from London . I am married to Late Dr. Rahman Abdul
who was oil explorer in Kuwait for ten years before he died in the year
2005. *
* *
*We were married for ten years without a child. He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were committed
to each other and respect each others interest. *
* *
*Since his death, I too have been battling with both (Esophageal Cancer and
fibroid) problems and have been in the hospital for a very long time my
doctor told me that I have few months to live due to my cancer problem and
this lead to a stroke attack which bothers me most through because I cannot
move as I use to. *
* *
*Having known my condition I decided to seek for your help. *
*My late Husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.5Million (Eight
Million Five Hundred United States Dollars) in a Finance Company under my
name. *
*25% of the US$8.5million goes to you to ensure that you are prepared for
the task ahead, 70% of it will be used in all sincerity to fund charity
organizations, motherless baby's home, mosques, churches, schools,supporting
destitute aged men and women or whatever you may have in mind that will be
to the benefit of the less fortunate in your country, while 5% of the fund
will be used for legal and attorney fees.*
* *
*I am taking this decision because the relatives of my husband have
confiscated other of our wealth without giving any to the needy. *
* *
*Based on that I don't want to in trust this fund to any of them, and I have
no child, I cannot take the fund to the grave I don't want a situation where
this money will be used in inappropriate manner.*
* *
*Since my health is retrogressing by all minute, Please reply as soon as
possible to confirming your acceptance to claim the deposit on my behalf,
Then I will make arrangement to prepare the authorization through an
Attorney for you to get possession of this fund as my duly assigned
representative.*
* *
* *
*I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tiding while my
dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders and please dont
worry about me because incase I lost my life, I will be smiling at the poor
for at least I have tried to touch their life so preciously through you.*
* *
*Do remember me in your prayers because that is what I needed most for now.*
* *
*Thank you in advance for your consideration and I hope to hear from you
urgently. *
* *
*Remain Blessed,
Mrs. Saint Abdul. *
