Subject: HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
*My Dearest,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. fatima Usman. I am married to Ahmed Usman of blessed memory who
worked with Kuwait embassy in Madrid Spain for nine years, but living in
Nigeria. 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 years.
Before his death he was a very devoted Muslim and I was a voted Christian by
birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $5.5M
(Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) with a bank here in Nigeria.
Presently, this money is still with the 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 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 in the highest and the
most merciful one.
I don't need any telephone communications but will only give you the contact
of my lawyer Barr. ken moore 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 things 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. Any delay in or a
devoted person 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.*
