May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. Helen Scholes
Dear Friend ,
I am married to Usman Bello of blessed memory who worked with America
Embassy in United Arab Emirates,Dubia 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 $21million US Dollars with a bank.
Presently, this money is still with Bank and 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 or
muslim organization or individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct here in.I want this organization or individual to use this
money in all sincerity to fund churches, mosques, orphanages, widows and
also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds
the views and beliefs of the holy book The holy book 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 don't have any child to start from and where
I will stop and and I don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused
by people that call me an unbeliever. I don't 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 don't need any telephone communications but will only
give you the contact of my lawyer Barr.JAMES DOUGLAS because he is the one
who is going to assist you in making you the beneficiary of the said funds
in the bank.
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 funds and all necessary steps to take before receiving
these funds and I shall also give you the contact of the bank 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 community where you reside to
always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted person 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 another person
organization or a devoted person 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. Helen Scholes.
NB:JAMES DOUGLAS HAS BEEN A LONGTIME FRIEND OF THE FAMILY AND I CAN
VOUCH
FOR HIS SINCERITY.
