salaam Alykum,Please Contact The LawyerFrom Mrs.Dayangku Salim
May Allah the most grateful and the most merciful be with you, I write this letter with most concern to our Muslim values and the teachings of Holy Mohammed (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to uplift and defend our religion at all times. I am motivated to write this letter to you after much consideration and with total submission to the will of Allah the most grateful and most merciful.
I am Dayangku Salim , the wife of Alex Salim who was the patron of Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) till he became ill in 1994; he died of cancer in 13th Feb 2005. Until his death we are a devoted Muslim family with the fear of Allah in every thing we do knowing that our reward is not on earth but with Allah. Our marriage was not blessed with any child despite our 25 years of marriage. I have only my husband's brothers who cowardly became Christian converts because of the pressure on Muslims after July 2005 bombings in U.K.

They have been brain washed to abandon Muslim faith and the teaching of Islam. I have been battling with a poison given to me by my husband brother to inherit his landed properties and HBP that killed my husband for all these years. Recently my doctor told me that I have to be strong in spirit, I knew probably I am approaching my end, but I am happy that I have lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation, even if I die today I know I will be with Allah. My only worry is the money (Fifteen Million five Hundred
Thousand US Dollars) my husband deposited in a security & Finance company before his death. I have been deliberating over this issue within my self on what will happen on event of my death or if I become incapacitated as i am ill and hospitalised now."Will I disclose this information to my husband's brothers who are now Christian Converts"? NO!! After much deliberation I came to the final decision to use this money for the propagating of Islam and I have choosing you for this course.

I want you to use this money for building of Islamic schools, Mosques andhelping of Muslim widows and children. Helping those who have no body to fend for them and pursing the course of Islam in your entire region. Please you should not divert this money from the purpose it is meant for. I would want you to signify your interest for this course so that I will give you all details and documents that will enable you claim the fund from the security and Finance Vault. You shall act on my behalf as the general overseer and the next of kin to the fund.

You must respond urgently to this mail so as to make alternative arrangement,would you be capable to handle the course of Allah. Please do contact me back immediatly as i am no longer strong and i will hand over all the process to my laywer who will direct you on how and what to do in order to have this fund in your possesion as I am always with my husband brothers and Iwouldn't want them to know anything about this arrangement please! I would need you to forward your Telephone numbers, your passport copy or ID card and fax,age,home address, profession and bank account, so that i can submit these information to my lawyer to start processing the transfer of the money.
