Subject: PRAISE ALLAH, THE MOST BENEVOLENT GOD

DEAR FRIEND,
PRAISE ALLAH, THE MOST BENEVOLENT GOD.
Direct email address: mariamhussein1@excite.com
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Late
Malam Usman Hussein of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy
In
Sudan for nine years before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
His death we were both very devoted Muslims. 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$8.6Million (Eight Million six
Hundred
Thousand U.S. Dollars) with an oversea security company. Presently,
This money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor
Told
Me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer
Problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having
Known my
Condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Moslem
Organization
Or devoted Muslim individual that will utilize this money the way I
Am
Going to instruct here- in. I want this Muslim organization or
Individual to use this money in all sincererity to fund mosques,
Orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to
Ensure that the
Society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Quran. The holy
Quran
Emphasized so much on ALLAH'S benevolence and this has encouraged me
To
Take this bold step.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will
Inherit
This money and my husband relatives are new Christian's converts and I
Don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by people I
Call
Unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used
In
An unholy manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I
Know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficient and
The
Most merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this
Regard
Because of my health because of the presence of my husband's
Relatives
Around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
With
ALLAH all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I
Shall
give you the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you a
Letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary
Of
This fund. I want you and the Muslim community where you reside
Always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Muslim worthy
Of
Emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the ALLAH must serve him in
Truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your
Life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a
Muslim organization or a devoted Muslim for this same purpose.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your
Shoulders.
May the almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect
You. Direct email address: mariamhussein1@excite.com
Regards,
Mariam Hussein
