Subject: IT WILL BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: farooqkaram2@yahoo.com
- This is the second or third time i have send email to you but didn't receive any reply from you. Again I am Mrs. Hajar farooq a citizen of Kuwait but currently residing in the United Kingdom for my health treatment. I was married to Late Farooq Karam who was an oil explorer in Kuwait also work with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for twelve years before he died in the year 2006. 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$15.5 Million in the bank in Nigeria which I am his next of kin. Recently, my doctor told me that I have only 1 month to live due to my ailment. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund through you to charity/orphanage homes 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 don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are into radical organization and I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner that is my reasons for this bold decision. Please, pray for me to recover as your prayers will go a long way in uplifting my spirit. I don't 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 don't 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 the bank were the fund is deposited for the transfer of the money to yo!
u for this purpose. I want yo u to always pray for me. Until I hear fr
om you through my email address: ( mrshajiafarooq@live.com ) Remain blessed, Mrs. Hajar Karam.
