From: "Susan hussin" <susan_husin@msn.com>

Subject: VERY URGENT MESSAGE
FROM: Susan Hussin
I am the above named person from Kuwait.
I am married to Mr. Ammed Hussin who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory
Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for
eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $12.6 Million (Twelve Million
six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one Security Company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better
still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way am going
to instruct here in. I want a church that will use this fund to fund
churches, orphanages,Research centers and widows propagating the word of God
and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to
understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands hard earned money
to be misused by unbelievers.
I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where i am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of
the lord, Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and i shall
hold my peace. I dont need any telephone communication in this regard
because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always . I dont
want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible.As
soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security
Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you
as the new beneficiary of this fund.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever
that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please
always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give
me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act ccordingly as I stated therein.
Hoping to hear from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. get back to
me by this email
