Subject: Thank you!!!
My dear good friend,
I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger on daily bases. And Iam quite certain that life is vanity; the only life worth living is a life of service to the almighty Allah, mostmerciful, most compassionate and most benevolent. This is the reason for my present decision
based absolutely on taqwa.
I am the only surviving child of the Gen. Abdulaziz Shihab, one of the UNITA rebel leaders of Angola. My late father fought the agonizing protected Angolan civil war from the very scratch, and was in charge of selling diamonds and other solid minerals of the rebel stronghold area, as well as purchasing arms and ammunitions
in return. This position made him very rich and powerful.So powerful that the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi the head and founder of the UNITA guerillas felt threatened that he planned to get rid of my father.
As much as I can remember, one Sunday I was away with my mother when a handful of soldiers obviously sent by the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi went to our house and
killed my father, my two sisters and brother. They also executed everyone that beard the same surname with us in my village, thus making sure that we were completely wiped out the surface of the earth. An aid loyal to my father met with me and my mother and sneaked us to Zambia a neighboring country,
from where we traveled to Accra Ghana. My mother died of extreme cancer a month ago here in Accra, and here am I on my sick bed diagnosed of HIV 1 & 2 i.e. full-blown AIDS and I have a few months to live.Three months ago my late mother took me to a
Finance/Security firm where my late father deposited large sum of money he acquired during the war the amount is sum $10. Million dollars,
I do not want this money to get into wrong hands by means of interest laws. My late father probably did not do thing right and fate has dealt with us decisively, but lying here on my dying bed I am determined to do thing right to enable me die in a state of Taahir, by passing this fund on to a devoted Muslim or islamic Organization that will use it to progate Islam to the glory of the almighty God\Allah, take care of the weak of the earth ( the widows,
old and orphans). I have willed our house here in Accra to a School. If you know and believe in your heart that you stand up for a good course and bring glory to the name of God\Allah, distinguish yourself in this world full of evil and corruption and use this money just as I have said, then get in touch with my lawyer immediately to enable him give you further details on how you will get the money,
I have told him that when ever you contact him that he should make arrange on how to send the box to you becaue the money was deposited as a family teasure with a trunk box , his E-mail address is (jubril_shihab@yahoo.co.in)and his name is (Barr Lamine Kofi) try to contact him now that I am still alive to avoid eminent confrontation and refusal by the him, he did not know what is in the box because it was deposited as family treasure with a trunk box. amount is sum $10. Million dollars.
Yours in faith,
Jubril shihab
