Subject: My dearest in Christ!
My dearest in Christ!
May God be praised !
I am Mrs.Fatima Iyesa Ismiana,from Kuwait.
I am married to Usman Ismiana of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait
embassy in Madrid Spain for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We
were married for eleven years without a child he died after a brief illness
that lasted only four days.Before his death he was a very devoted
Muslim and I was a devoted Christian by birth battling with both cancer and
fibroid problems when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$15million dollars (FIFTEEN million dollars)with an overseas finance and
security firm. Presently,this money is still with finance and security firm.
Recently,my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer)that
would last for the next four months.Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness, having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
either a Christian organization or a devoted Christian individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want this Christian organization or individual to use this money in all
sincerity to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word
of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the
holy bible. The holy bible emphasized so much on the giving of alms,charity
and this has encouraged me in taking this bold step. I took this decision
because I dont have any child to start from and where I will stop and my
husbands relatives are all Muslims and I dont want my husband hard earned
money to be misused by people that call me an
unbeliever.I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an
unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision.I know that
after death I will be with God the most high and the most merciful one.
I dont need any telephone communications but will only give you the contact
of my lawyer Barr Brown Nelson.because he is the one who is going to assist
you in making you the beneficiary of the consignment in the finance and
security firm. With God,I know that all thing are possible and as soon as I
receive your reply through my lawyer I will now give him instruction to make
you the
beneficiary of the consignment and all necessary steps to take before
receiving these funds and I shall also give you the contact of the finance
and security firm I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the original beneficiary of the funds.I want you and the
Christian community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Christian though
married to a muslim, whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth
and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay
in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an other Christian
organization or a devoted Christian 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 faithfully
Mrs.Fatima Iyesa Ismiana
