Subject: May God be praised
My Dearest,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. Saara Umar
..
I am married to Akmed Umar of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait
embassy
in Madrid Spain for nine years before he died in the year 2002. 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 $15million dollars (FIFTEEN million
dollars)with a bank
..
Presently, this money is still with Bank and 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 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 to start from and
where
I will stop and 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't need any telephone communications but will
only
give you the contact of my lawyer Barr.Tunde James 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. 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,
