From: MRS FATIMA AHMED <mrsfatimaahmed1955@yahoo.fr>
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:30:12 +0000
Subject: Dear friend
Dear friend,
Greetings in the name of God, Pls let this not sound strange to you for my only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this
year. I prayed and got you email id from your countrysguest book which I have been with my late husband and liked to visit once more
if God will in his infinite mercies.
I am Mrs.Fatima Ahmed from Saudi-Arabia, I am 58 years old, I am deaf and Suffering from a long time cancer of the lungs which also affected
my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me
that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I and my late husband was
brought up from a motherless babies home we married for twenty years without a child, my husband died in a fatal motor accident Before his
death we were true Muslim. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of 10million
dollars with my bank.
Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for
keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my
illness or they get it confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any
organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home.
I want you as God-fearing person, to also use this money to fund God's home, orphanages and widows, I took this decision, before I rest in
peace because my time will so on be up.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you
as
the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Please reply me through this my private email address:
mrsfatimaahmed1955@yahoo.fr
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Mrs.Fatima Ahmed
