May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs.Elizaberth Ahmed, from Kuwait.
I am married to Usman Ahmed 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 $18.2 million dollars
(Eighteen million two hundred thousand 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 ha s en
couraged 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 my husband's
relatives are all Muslims 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'tneed
any telephone communications but will only give
you the contact of my lawyer Barr George Lalong ESQ.
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.Until I hear from
you my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders,
may the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you Amen.
Also in a more sincere note,i will disclose the actual location of the said fund,if you reply and indicate your interest in my purpOseful disposement of the fund as i desired.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Elizaberth Ahmed.
