From: "HAJAR KARAM" <hajarkaram50@googlemail.com>
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:24:25 +0100
Subject: I DONT HAVE TO LIVE PLEASE HELP ME BELOVED
I am Mrs. Hajar Karam a citizen of Kuwait but currently residing in the
United Kingdom. I was married to Late Farooq Karam of blessed memory
who was an oil explorer in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for twelve years before
he
died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve years without a
child; he died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since
his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he deposited a substantial amount
of
money worth US$8.5Million with a Bank in the United Kingdom which I
inherited after his death.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only 2 month to live due to my
ailment. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
either a charity/orphanage home or devoted God fearing individual that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct therein. I want
this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund
charity homes (motherless homes), orphanages, and widows. I took this
decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money
and my husbands relatives are into radical organization and I do not
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 do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health condition which has seriously affected my speech and also
because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I do not
want them to know about this development. As soon as I receive your
reply I shall give you further directives on what to do and how to go about
actualizing this project. I will also instruct my lawyer to file an
application on your behalf to the bank where the funds were deposited for
the transfer of the money to you for this purpose. I want you to
always pray for me. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for
an organization or a devoted Individual for this same purpose.
Until I hear from you by email; my dreams will rest squarely on your
shoulders. Please send your reply to my yahoo email address,
hajarkaram71@yahoo.com.sg
Remain blessed,
Mrs. Hajar Karam
