Subject: YOUR SISTER IN ISLAM.
Dear sir,
I Greetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent,the most merciful.
My name is Mrs Abida Fudail, a widow to Late Mr M, Fudail. I am 78years old, Presently I am suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and i am very much afraid of my doctor's report, infact my conditon is very bad now.
My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.My late husband 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 humanitarian services and in assisting the less-privileged ones and all humanity in Africa and thruoghout the whole world, I chossed you after visiting the website and I prayed over it, I
discussed this with my Attorney,Barrister Syed Abdul.I am willing to donate part of the sum of US$18,000,000.00(Eighteen Million US Dollars) for the development of the holywork as well as a distribution to aid faithful ones and also for the less privileged, including orhpans who lost their mothers thruogh this deadly illness[ cancer]no matter their faith.Please I want you to note that, this fund is deposited in a Security Company For that, my lawyer Mr.Syed abdul 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 meet my barrister, to sign for the official release of this money as well as advice on how you want the money remitted to you own account. my Attorney will accompany you on this trip to the security company.
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
work of Allah.
May the Grace of Allah be our guide and be my refuge when i leave this world. Moreso,I decided to offer you 30% While 20% will be transfered to the account of my Lawyer, Barrister Syed Abdul 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 Islam,
Mrs Abida Fudail.
