Director/Ceo,
Greetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful.
My name is Mr. Omar Ashamed, my Late wife Marian Ashamed and my five
children and the whole family was killed during the Rwanda war, and all my
houses and belongings was destroy also, I am 74years old, from Rwanda (citizen)
Presently I am staying in South Africa here because of my ill health, I
am suffering from longs time cancer of the breast and heart from all
indications, my condition is really deteriorating and I am very much
afraid of my doctor's report, infarct my condition is very bad now, I am
receiving a medical treatment here in South Africa.
My late Brother was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period
of his marriage he couldn't produce any child. My late Brother Mustafa Ashamed
was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and
wealth, the doctor has told me that I may not live beyond this year. Every new
day is like a bonus to me.
So now I have decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to
the propagation of Islam and in assisting the less-privileged Muslim
faithful and all humanity in Africa and throughout the Muslim world, I chose you
after visiting the website and I prayed over it, I discussed this with
my family Attorney. I am willing to donate part of the sum of
US$26,000,000.00(Twenty Six Million US Dollars) for the development of the
holy work of Islam as well as a distribution to aid Muslim faithful and also
for the less privileged, including orphans who lost their mothers through
this deadly illness [cancer] no matter their faith.
Please I want you to note that, this fund is deposited in a Security
Company in Senegal in West Africa. For that, my lawyer Mr.ONEIL OJIEGO.
will file in application for the transfer of the money in your name as you
wish provided you are ready to use part of this money for this purpose.
You will therefore have to travel to Senegal, to sign for the official
release of this money as well as advice on how you want the money remitted to your
own account. My Attorney will accompany you on this trip.
Please, you can contact my attorney Mr. ONEIL OJIEGO. on his direct
mobile phone: +27-80-533-7825.or on his fax number: +27_11_435_451.For any
clarifications on this matter or you can email him on
(barr_oneilojiego@yahoo.com) for more direction on this transfer
and the success, because I am not sure of the next hour as far as this my
health is consign, I have been in a hospital for a long time now. So, you should
discourse with the attorney I have given him all the directions needed.
Lastly I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used
for the said purpose because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition
without Allah is vanity upon vanity. For this reason I have decided to set
aside 40% of this money for the service of humanity and the holy work of Allah.
May the Grace of Allah be our guide and be my refuge when I leave this
world. Moreover I have decided to offer you 20% While 30% will be
transferred to the account of my Lawyer as compensation after
Successful conclusion. The remaining 10% is to cover the expenses both from your
side and the side of my Lawyer who will assist you until every thing is
over.
Yours in Allah,
Mr. Omar Ashamed.
