Subject: MRS ABID AISHA IN SOUTH AFRICA

Dear Intending Partner,

I am Aisha Abid from South Africa.I am married to Late MR BELLO ABID of
blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year 2000.

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 to
our God.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 $7million
( Seven million U.S Dollars) with a security company in Europe.the money
is deposited as Family valuables/Treasure for security reasons.

Recently,my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known
my condition I decided to entrust this fund to either a phylantropic organization
or devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein.30% of the $7 million goes to the individual as entitlement,
I want this individual to use 60% of this money in all sincerity to fund
phylanthropic organisation,
orphanages, widows and 10% be sent back to me to offset my medical bills
and for my upkeep before i meet my creator.

I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted relations
that will inherit this money I don't want a situation where this money will
be used in an Ungodly manner.Hence the reasons for this bold decision. My
health is worsening by the day, you will have to send your RESIDENTIAL /
POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS and a valid identification
of your person,so that i will forward them to the Security company As soon
as I receive your
reply to my mail address:aisha100@velocall.com

i shall give you the contact information of the security company in Europe
where the money was deposited, Until I hear from you,my dreams will rest
squarely on your shoulders.

May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.


Remain Blessed,

Mrs.Aisha Abid.
