From: Ruth Usman <ruth_usmanet@yahoo.com>
Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 04:34:43 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: My dearest in Christ,
My dearest in Christ,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. Ruth halima usman, from Kuwait. I am married to Usman
Ismiana of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in 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
$3millionTwo hundred thousand dollars (three 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 has
encouraged me in taking this bold step.I took this decision because I don't
have any child to start from 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.
If you can assist in carrying out the project,I will give you the
contact of my lawyer
MR FRANCO BRUISCHI 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.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
proceed and all the necessary steps to take. I shall also give you the
contact of the
finance and security firm and also issue you a letter of authority that
will prove you as the original beneficiary of the funds.
I want you and the Christian community where you reside to always pray
for me.My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Christian
though married to a Muslim, whoever that wants to serve God must serve
him in
truth and in spirit, pl ease always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for
anotherChristian
organization or a devoted Christian 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. Ruth halima usman
