From: "AMINA ABDULKARIM" <amina006@abdulkarimworld.com>
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 00:34:57 +0000
Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
I am AMINA ABDULKARIM from Libya. I am married to
Late
OSMAN ABDULKARIM of blessed memory who is an oil
explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before
he died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve
years without a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for only four days. Since his death I
too
have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems.
When my late Husband was alive he deposited a
substancial amount of money in millions of dollars
with a deposit company oversea. Recently, my doctor
told me that I have only six months to live 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 charity/orphanage
home
or devoted God fearing individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I
want this organization or individual to use this
money
in all sincerity to fund charity homes (motherless
homes), orphanages, widows.
I took this decision because I don\'t have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives
are into radical organisation and I don\'t want a
situation where this money will be used in an Unholy
manner. Hence the reasons for this bold decision.
Please, pray for me to recover as your paryers will
go
a long way in uplifting my spirit. 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.As soon as I receive your
reply
on Email: I shall give you further directives on
what
to do and how to go about actualising this project.
I will also issue a letter of authority to the
Deposit
Company authorizing them that the said fund Have
being
willed to you and a copy of such authorization will
be
forwarded to you. I want you to always pray for me.
Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing
for
an organization or a devoted Individual for this
same
purpose.
Until I hear from you by email; my dreams will rest
squarely on your shoulders.
Remain blessed.
MRS. AMINA ABDULKARIM
