Assalamualaikum,
In the name of Allah the Beneficent; the Merciful,the Master of the day
of Judgments, I greet you in the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful To whom All the Praise (HQ; 31:26; 17:111); and the most
Beautiful Names(HQ: 7:180; 17:110; 20:8; 59:24) belongs.
I am Mr Hakim Khalid originally from Cuba but with an Egyptian
nationality.On 10th February 2004,i am my family(my wife and two kids)
boarded an Iranian plane which burst into flames as we flew into
Sharjah airport from the Iranian island of Kish.I lost my family and it
was only three of us that survived and we were treated at al-Qasimi
hospital in Sharjah.I laid helpless there in the hospital because my
condition
was so critical and after series of operation i had to be taken back to my
home land cuba, paralysed:

Owing to my failing health I am taking this step to let you know that I
want to leave in your care the sum of $18.6Million United States
Dollars for a charitable organisation or an in care of an individual to
propagate
Islam.I have had course to make donations to organisations here
through my relatives and friends before now who abscunded with the funds
and
used for thier own selfish interest because nobody to help me follow
them up.I will be leaving this mantle in the care of my lawyer who you
will
work with.I now this mail will definetely come to you supriselybut i want
you to remember that:
Allah Tests His Subjects in many different ways. This He Says in the
Holy Quran in many Verses.To cite a few:
(HQ: And thus Do We Try some of them by others so that they say:
Are these they upon whom Allah Has conferred Benefit from among us?
Does not Allah best know the grateful? 6:53)
1.Allah won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of
class you displayed.
2.Allah won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will
ask if they dictated your life.
3.Allah won't ask how many promotions you received, but will ask
how you promoted others.
4.Allah won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask
what you did to protect the rights of others.
5.Allah won't ask in what neighbourhood you lived, but will ask how you
treated your neighbors.
6.Allah won't ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about
the content of your character.
7.Allah won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but
will ask how many times they didn't.
Hoping to hear from you through this email(hakimkhalid707@excite.com)
account your interest to help me to propagate Islam.If you are interested or
not,one thing i beg of you is please include me in your
prayers. 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 virtuous adorers till the
day of Judgments.What else should isay other that we should meet Allah with
a
clean mind and clearconscience.May Allah bless you as you respond to my
plea.
Ma-Salam,
Hakim Khalid.
