Subject: Donation for the lesspriveledged.
RE: Donation for the lesspriveledged.
I am the above named person from Kuwait.I am married to Dr.Xaneb Ken
who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast 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 for only four days. Before his death we were born
again
Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside
my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive the total sum of $7.6Million (Seven
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) was deposited in a security
company in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been under going treatment
for
esophageal cancer. I have since lost the ability to talk my sickness
has
been confirmed beyond treatment and the doctors on their recent
diagnose, confirmed to me that i may not leave more than two more months.
So what kind of help is someone going to give a dieing woman. When
this my case came to this announcement from the doctors, I was challenged
after watching a CNN news about Mr. Buffet, an American rich man who
donate about 85% of his whole wealth to the service of humanity and
charity.
After watching the news, i asked myself a question. If a man that is
healthy and have no sickness can do this kind of humanitarian service,
how much more myself, who have been confirmed at the door post of death.
That was when i came to this decision to use the money my late husband
left behind, to contribute to the service of charity and humanitarian
service.
And since i can not carry this out by myself, I decided to offer you
the
taskful service.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility
to any of them again.
This is how you should utilize the money. Use 5% of the whole money,
to
cover up any kind of expenses you may involve in receiving this money
including the lawyer's fees. I will introduce you to my lawyer, and
after my
will is prepared in your favor to be the beneficiary to the money. He
will guild you until the money is transferred to your account.
Then, you have to take out 20% of this money for yourself, which will
serve as your payment to carry out this project. then the rest 75%
should go into the charity service. I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in uncharitable way.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
lawyer
in charge.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you today through this private e-mail address

Thanks
Sarsh Ken
