I am former Mrs. Veronica Baqer Ghazi now known as Mrs. Alima Baqer
Ghazi a new Muslim converts, 59 years of age. I have been diagnosed
with esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right
now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I am the Wife of late Reejev Baqer Ghazi one of the victims of the September 11 attack. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though my Husband was very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to People and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this, as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in Australia. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more as I still have some funds left with Financial Firm in Europe. My relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness begun; I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them anymore, as they tend to keep these funds to their selves. Please, I beg you help me collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the company and distributes it accordingly. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that you support and assist me with good heart.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter Until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish and also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want anybody to know because they are always around me. Do endeavor to send your phone as well as your fax for easy communication.
Yours truly,
Mrs.Alima Baqer Ghazi
