Assalamualaiku
In the name of Allah the Beneficent; the Merciful,the Master of the day
of Judgement , I greet you in the name of Allah.
I am formally Miguel Marcos Llera from Cuba.I was born into a strong
and devoted catholic family.All through my life i have been doing
business and i was into gold mining and selling.
I met our creator and the meciful one Almigthy Allah when i was having
a business deal with one of my partners from U.A.E and from the day i
was given the Islamic bath my name changed to Al Ahli Usman
On 10th Feburary 2004 myself and my family and my business partner
took a flight from kish to sharjah and we flew kish airline.We had a
plane crash and all members of my family including my very good friend lostm,
thier lives.I give thanks to Allah that i am one of the lucky ones that
survived the crash.The airline wans under the management of one Mr
Shabab Attarzadeh who was later sacked after this incidence.I had to return
to my home town in cuba and i am now left with my relatives to take
care of me.
Owing to the fact that i was born into a catholic home and my family
members know that i am now a devoted moslem,they have neglected me and
left me to suffer pain.I know i am not going to survive this whole pain
anymore.what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness and now that i have
developed paralyses from my waist region downward i am taking this bold
step to let you know that i want to leave in your care the sum of
$12.8million dollars i deposited in a security company for the enhancement
and propagation of the word of Almigthy Allah. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to a mosque,or an islamic organisation
or better still a moslem that will utilize this funds the way I am
going to instruct here in.
My main aim of doing this is for the propagation and upholding of the
message of Islam.My target area is the youth whom the future of any
great country largely lies on.In the western world,you find out that the
message of Allah has not yet really gotten there.The message of Islam
must not only be preached and upheld,but also our youths have to be
called back to the right path and thereby reawaken their consciousness.
I want you also to use this funds for the poor and the needy.Build old
peoples home and orphanages.For the fact that my relatives are not
ready to comply with me and they claim christanity is the way i am now
resting my dream in life on your shoulders.Even as you agree to help me
carry out this duty i want you always remember that:
1. Allah won't ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many
people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2.Allah won't ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you
compromised your character or morals to obtain that salary.
3.Allah won't ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how
many people you welcomed into your home.
4.Allah won't ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but
will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy.
5.Allah won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of
class you displayed.
6.Allah won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask
if they dictated your life.
7.Allah won't ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you
worked overtime for your family and loved ones.
8.Allah won't ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how
you promoted others.
9.Allah won't ask what your job title was, but will ask if you did your
job to the best of your ability.
10.Allah won't ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you
did to helpothers.
11.Allah won't ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many
people to whom you were a true friend.
12.Allah won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask
what you did to protect the rights of others.
13.Allah won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you
treated your neighbors.
14.Allah won't ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the
content of your character.
15.Allah won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but
will ask how many times they didn't.
For the now i dont want any calls from you because of the presence of
my relatives that are always around me and i dont want them to know my
palns.Do get back at me to my private mail address alhi_usman@ny.com
Hoping to hear from you soonest and do notify your interest to help me
to propagate islam.
All praise is due to Allah Who brought everything into existence and
may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon our noble Prophet Mohammed
and those who follow his footsteps till the day of Judgement.
May Allah bless you as you respond to my plea.
Ma-Salam,
Al Ahli Usman
