Subject: PROPOSAL
Assalam U Alaikum,
I am MRS ZAINAB HASSAN from Libya.I am married to Late Mallam ALI HASSAN 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 with one
child, which name is Tony Ali Hassan. He died after abrief illness that
lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both devoted Muslims.
Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$15.5million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) with a
Security Company in overseas. Which were packed in two trunk boxes.
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. and my only Son Tony.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Muslem
organization or devoted Muslim individual that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instructs herein. I want this Muslim organization or
individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund mosques, and take
proper care of my only son, Tony orphanages, widows, and also propagating
the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the views and
belief of the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on ALLAH'S
benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold step.I took this
decision because I my only son, can not inherit this money only and my
husband relatives are new Christian's converts and I don't want a situation
where this money will be used in an Unholy manner.Hence the reasons for this
bold decision.
I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficent and the
most merciful. 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. With
ALLAH all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give
you the contact information of the Security Company and the country in
oversea where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of
authority to the Security 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 and the Muslim community where youreside to always pray for
me.and take care of my only Son, for better future.
My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of emulation.
Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply
will give room in sourcing for a Muslim organization or a devoted Muslim
for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely
on your shoulders. May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
