Subject: FROM YOUR SISTER REPLY URGENTLY.
*Dear,
Assalam U Alaikum.
I am Amina Abid from Abidjan I vory Cost.I am married to Late Mallam Abid of
blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year 2000.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 $12.million (Twelve
Million U.S Dollars)with a Finance Company in oversea. 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 toeither a Muslem organization or devoted Muslim
individual that will utilize this money 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 upholdsthe 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 Finance Company and the country in
oversea where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of
authority to the Finance Company 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 you reside 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 he Almighty.
ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Regards,
HAJIA AMINA ABID*
