Subject: Assalamu Alaikum.
Assalamu Alaikum,
In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Master of the day
of Judgement , I greet you in the name of Allah. I am formally Miguel Marcos
Llera from Cuba. I was born into a strong and devoted catholic family. All
through my life I have been doing business and I was into gold mining and
selling. I met our creator and the merciful one Almighty 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 (Taw heed) my name changed to Rashid Saalih.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 their 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
Move to Dakar-Senegal 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 have. I have developed paralyses from my waist region downward I am taking
this bold step to let you know that I want to leave in your care the sum
of $12.8million United States Dollars I deposited in a security company
here in Dakar-Senegal for the enhancement and propagation of the word of
Almighty Allah. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund
to a mosque, or an Islamic organisation or better still a Moslem 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 after the Ramadan fasting and performing
pilgrimage. Also In the western world, you find out that the message of
Allah has not yet really gotten there. The message of Islam must not only
be preached and upheld, but also our youths have to be called back to the
right path and thereby reawaken their consciousness. Allah didn?t 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 don?t want any calls from you because of the presence of my relatives
that are always around me and I don?t want them to know my plans. Do get
back to me to my private mail address.Rashidsaalih@netscape.net. Hoping
to hear from you soonest and do notify your interest to help me to propagate
Islam.
All 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 plea.
Ma Salam,
Rashid Saalih.
