From: Clare Usman <cl_usman20005@yahoo.com>
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 01:12:23 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: HELP! (URGENT REPLY ASAP)
My dearest,
I greet you in the name of Jesus. Amen.
I am Mrs. Clare M. Usman; I am married to Abdul Usman 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 $9.9million dollars (NINE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) with a bank in Africa.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and Recently, my doctor told me that my illness has become terminal (cancer) that would last for the next four months. Though what disturbs me most is my partial 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 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. Due to all these, telephone communications with me will not be needed but will only give you the contact of my lawyer Barr. James Douglas. This is 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 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. Get back to me via cl_usman2005@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Clare M. Usman.
