Subject: As Salaam Alaiykum,
As Salaam Alaiykum,
In the name of Allah the Beneficent,the Merciful,the Master of the day of Judgement , I greet you in the name of Almighty God .
I am formally francis Eugen from Cuba. I was born into a strong and devoted christian family.
All through my life i have been doing business and i was into gold mining and selling.
I met our creator and the meciful one Almigthy Allah when i was having a business deal with one of my partners from U.A.E and from the day i was given the Islamic bath(Tawheed) my name changed to Al Yusuf Oman. But I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
On 10th Feburary 2004 myself and my family and my business partner took a flight from kish to sharjah and we flew kish airline.We had a plane crash and all members of my family including my very good friend lost thier lives.
I give thanks to Allah that i am one of the lucky ones that survived the crash.The airline was under the management of one Mr Shabab Attarzadeh who was later sacked after this incidence.I had to return to my home town in cuba and i am now left with my relatives to take care of me.
Owing to the fact that my relatives knows i have reverted to islam,they have left me to suffer in pain.what disturbs me most is stroke that I havea and i developed paralyses from my waist region downward iam taking this bold step to let you know that i want to leave in your care the sum of $10.8million United States Dollars i deposited in a security company for the enhancement and propagation of the word of Almigthy Allah.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a mosque,or an islamic organisation or better still a muslem that will utilize this funds the way I am going to instruct here in.My main aim of doing this is for the propagation and upholding of the message of prophet muhammad(peace be upon Him).
I want this funds to be used for Zakah and for helping the poor,propagating Islam,assisting less priviledged ones to Hajj and performing pilgrimage.
Also build houses of Worships. Allah didnt send Muhammad(peace be upon him)to one particular tribe,but to mankind at large. Surah #2.254 "Allah commands His slaves to spend out of what He has provided them in His way,in charity that they may accumulate their reward with their lord and proprietor.
It is for this reason they should hasten up to do in this world before the Day of Resurrection in which neither bargaining nor friendship nor intercession shall avail. No one can bail himself out or can he ransom himself even if he spent,for that purpose,and earth load of gold.
Nor can kinship avail him.(#23.101)For now i dont want any calls from you because of the presence of my relatives that are always around me and i dont want them to know my plans, the money will be used to propagate the words of God Allah praise is due to Allah Who brought everything into existence and may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon our noble Prophet Mohammad(peace be upon him) and His virtous adorers till the day of Judgement.
May Allah bless you as you respond to my plead.
Ma-Salam,
Zuberu Umar
