and reply urgently.
Dear Beloved, I am Mrs.Fatima Abacha, I am married to Late Ibrahim Mohammad Abacha of
blessed memory who was an oil explorer in Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for twelve years without a child.He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted believers.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 $8.5million (eight Million,
Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) with a Security company. 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 charitable
organization or devoted trust worthy individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instructs herein. I want this charitable organization or individual to use this money in
all sincerity to fund charitable homes, orphanages, preach the word of
the almighty, and also propagating the word of ALMIGHTY the most
merciful and most compassionate and to ensure that the society upholds
the views and belief of the Holy book. The Holy book emphasizes so much on Almighty'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 Full evils doers 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 ALMIGHTY 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. It will be of interest that you can kindly send your contact
information which include your Telephone numbers , Occupation, Age,
Sex,and Country so that i will add it in the letter i will send to the
security company for the release of this money on your behalf.I don't want them to know about this development. With ALMIGHTY all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the contact information of the security company and where the money was
deposited. I will also issue a letter of authority to the security 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 charitable organization where you reside to always
pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted believer
worthy of emulation; Whoever that wants to serve almighty must serve
him in truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life.And any delay in your
reply will give room in sourcing for another organization or a
trustworthy for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams
will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty continue to
guide and protect you. Finally i want you to understand that i have personally made available
30% for your own use 10% for the expenses and 60% will be for the
charity work as i have directed which you are personally going to be in
charge of . May the good ALLAH the most compassionate and most merciful continue to
guide you. Best regards, Mrs Fatima Abacha
