Subject: From Abu Dalhatu
Hello,
I am married to Late Mariam Dalhatu who worked with Jordan embassy in Madrid
Spain for nine years and the Jordanian king before she died in feb 2005.
We were married for eleven years without a child, she died after a brief
illness that lasted only four days. Before her death she was a very devoted
Muslim and I was a devoted Christian by birth battling with heart problem.
My late wife deposited the sum of $6million dollars (Six million
dollars)with a bank. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and
Recently, my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (heart problem)
that would last for the next four months.
Though what disturbs me most is my heart problem, having known my condition
I decided to donate this fund to either a Christian or Muslim organization
or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct .
I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to
fund churches, mosques, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of
God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy
book The holy book emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and
this has encouraged me in taking this bold step. I took this decision
because I don't have any child to start from where I will stop and I don't
want my wife hard earned money to be misused by people that call me an
unbeliever. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I know that after death I will be with God the most high and the most
merciful one. I don't need any telephone communications because of the
hospital i am now but will only give you the contact of my lawyer as soon as
you agree to help me carry out my wishes although i will have to look for a
good lawyer who will assist and guide you in making you the beneficiary of
the funds.
I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted person though married to
a Muslim, whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in
spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. Until I hear from
you my dreams will rest squarely on your Shoulders ,may the Almighty God
continue to guide and protect you.Please this might be my last email
from me to you as my health is failing contact my attorney bersson
lawrence he knows what to do.His email ID is :
attorneyberssonlawrence@yahoo.com
Amen.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Abu Dalhatu
