Subject: Assalam U Alaikum,
Assalam U Alaikum,
I am MRS ZAINAB HASSAN from Libya.I am married to Late Mallam ALI HASSAN of
blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year2000.We were married for twelve years without a
child.He died after abrief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his
death we were both devoted Muslims.Since his death I too have been battling
with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he
deposited the sum of $3.million (Three Million, U.S Dollars) with a Bank in
overseas.
Recently,my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Moslem organization or
devoted Muslimindividual that will utilize thismoney the way I am going to
instructs herein. I want this Muslim organization or individual to use this
money in all sincerity to fund mosques, orphanages, widows, and also
propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the
views and belief of the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on ALLAH'S benevolence and this has
encourage me to take the bold step.I took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are new
Christian's converts and I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in an Unholy manner.Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know
that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficent and the most
merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health,because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always. I don't want them to know about this development. With ALLAH all
things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply
I shall give you the contact information of the Bank and the country in
oversea where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of
authority to the Bank authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed
to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you
and the Muslim community where youreside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of emulation.
Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in
fairness.Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your
reply will give room in sourcing for a Muslim organization or a devoted
Muslim for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest
squarely on your shoulders.May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and
protect you.
Regards,
MRS ZAINAB HASSAN
