- My Dearest Friend, I am Mrs. Aisha Chidiac 69 years old. I am married to Late Engr. Salim Chidiac, a Lebanese, of blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Libya,Kuwait and others West African country for twelve years before he unfortunately lost his life 2003 in a plane crash. We were married for twelve years without a child, Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he deposited a Substantial amount of money $16.5M. (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Finance Firm in Ghana. Recently, my doctor told me that I have only few months to live 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 charity/orphanage home or devoted God fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund charity homes (motherless homes), orphanages, and widows. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are into radical organization and I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner. Presently, this money is still with the Finance Firm and they just Wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather Issue a letter of authority to somebody to receive it on my behalf. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment Cancer of the lungs. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this transaction soon as I receive your reply. I shall give you further directives on what to do and how to go about actualizing this project. I will also issue a letter of authority to the Finance firm authorizing them that the said fund have being WILLED to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your Custody. Until I hear from you by email my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders and nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth. Remain blessed. Mrs. Aisha Chidiac.
