Dear,
I am Mrs Miriam Aisha Ahmed,a South African.I am
married to Mr Abdul Ahmed of blessed memory who worked
with Saudi Arabian embassy here in Madrid Spain for
nine years before his untimely death in the year 2003
after a brief illness.
We were married for eleven years without a child,he
died after a brief illness that lasted only for four
days.Before his death,he was an unbeliever(though very
loving)and i am a devoted christian from birth
battling with both cancer and fibroid problem.When my
late husband was alive,he deposited the sum of $24.6
U.S.D(Twenty Four Million Six Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars)in a trunk box with an overseas finance
and security firm.Presently,the money is still with
the finance and security firm.
Recently,my doctor told me that the cancer illness is
getting to a terminating stage which could be any
moment from four months,coupled with my paralysis
which disturbs me most.Having known my condition,i
decided to donate this funds to either a christian
organisation or a trust worthy individual that will
utilize this money the way i am going to instruct him
in.I want this christian organisation or individual to
use this money in all sincerity to funds
churches,orphanages,widows,cancer research andd to
ensure that the society up holds the views and beliefs
of the Almighty.
The holy bible emphasizes so much on 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 and my husband relations are
all unbelievers,i don?t want my husband?s hard earned
money to be misused by unbelievers and people who hold
a different philosophy about life.
I don?t want a situation where this money will be used
in an unholy manner,thereby contradicting the reason
for taking this bold decision.I know that after
death,i will be with God the most high and the most
merciful.I don?t need much telephone conversation for
now because my doctor warned me to stop talking on the
phone as it interferes with my medical
gardjets,seconly i can?t discuss in presence of my
late husband?s relations that are always around me in
the hospital.My trust worthy family friend i?ve known
for years is the only person who knows the decision
i?ve taken.
With God,i know all things are possible as soon as i
recieve your reply through my above stated email
address,i will direct you on how to recieve the
consignment at the financial and securty firm.I will
also issue a letter of authority that will prove you
as the original beneficiary of this funds.I want you
and the christian community where you reside to also
pray for me.My happiness is that i lived a life of a
true devoted christian though married to an
unbeliever,but anyone that want to serve God must
serve Him in truth and in spirit,please always be
prayerful for me.Any delay in your reply will give me
a room to source for another organisation or devoted
individual for the same purpose.Until i hear from
you,my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.May
the Almighty God continue to guide and protect
you.Amen.
Yours truely,
Mrs Miriam Aisha Ahmed.
