The Cancer Medical Center,
Centre Hospitalier Regional,
BP 234TY,Bedfordshire,
United kingdom.
Peace be upon you!
Please I will appreciate you read the content of my email with understaning
and don't feel sorry for me because it is the destiny of every man to die
someday, my name is Mrs Habiba Karim a citizen of Kuwait but currently
residing in the United Kingdom. I am married to Late Mr. Mohammad Karim of
blessed memory who was an oil explorer in Kuwait for twelve years before he
died in the year 2003.We were married for twelve years without an issue, he
died in an automobile accident that claimed the lifes of the whole
passengers.Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and
fibroid problems. I inherited most of my husbands Bank deposits and
properties after his death, which includes the sum US$2.8Million deposited
in a Bank in the U.K which no one knows about.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only 2 months to live due to cancer.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this funds to either a
charity/orphanage home or devoted individual that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct therein. I want the organization or
individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund charity
homes(motherless homes), orphanages, widows.I took this decision because I
don`t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives
are into radical organization and I don`t want a situation where this money
will be used in an Unholy manner, Hence the reasons for this bold
decision.Please, pray for me to recover as your prayers will go a long way
in uplifting my spirit.
I have willed and given most of my inheritance from my husband to immediate
and extended family members, as well as a few close friends.I want God to
have mercy on me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity
work; this is what I want to be remembered for. So far, I have been able to
reach out to a few charity organizations in the Singapore, Algeria and
Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this
myself anymore.
I once asked members of my extended family to aid me in giving of alms to
those organizations catering for the less privileged in Bulgaria and
Pakistan; they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence,I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what they have. I
don`t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health
condition which has seriously affected my speech. As soon as I receive your
reply via Email:I shall give you further directives on what to do and how to
go about actualizing this project. I want you to always pray for me.
Until I hear from you through E-mail; my dreams will rest squarely on your
shoulders.
Remain Blessed.
Mrs.Habiba Karim.
