Subject: Allah is good to us
*Dear Friend, **
I am Abigel Denise Aziz from Holland. I am married to Dr. Norman Aziz of
united state who worked with Chevron Oil Company as oil
consultant/contractor in Africa for twenty years before he died in the year
2007.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during
one of the riot in the Niger delta region in Nigeria. He was held hostage
and slain to death by protesting youths of the region.
Before his death we were both Muslims. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry. When my late husband was alive he made a numbered time (Fixed)
deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at GBP9m (Nine Million British
Pounds) with account number GBP197104280089. With a Bank in London United
Kingdom. Meanwhile, this money is still with the bank and the management
just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or
rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I am with my laptop in a hospital in South Africa where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to
live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested and proceed at
the end of every year distributed among charity organization.
I want a person that is Allah fearing that will use this money to fund
Mosque, orphanages and widows propagating the word of Allah and to ensure
that the house of Allah is maintained. I am made to understand that blessed
is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I know that there are
a lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to
come to their aid. With Allah all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank so
that you can contact them for the money. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. You are
to help me invest this fund into real estate and stocks.
You will be entitled to 40% of every profit you make in a year. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. In your response to me, please include your
telephone and fax
number and also your mailing address.
