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

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 know this mail will definetely come to you suprisely
but 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. hk2_khalid@yahoo.com in 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 o f Allah be
upon our noble Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him)
and His virtuous adorers till the day of
Judgments.What else should i say other that we should
meet Allah with a clean mind and clear conscience.May
Allah bless you as you respond to my plea.
