Subject: URGENT MAIL/GOD BLESS YOU
My dearest in Christ,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. Fatima Iyesa Ismiana, from Kuwait.
I am married to Usman Ismiana of blessed memory who
worked with Kuwait embassy in Madrid Spain for nine
years before he died in the year 2000.
We were married for eleven years without a child he
died after a brief illness that lasted only four days.
Before his death he was a very devoted Muslim and I
was a devoted Christian by birth battling with both
cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of $15million dollars
(FIFTEEN million dollars) with an overseas finance
and security firm. Presently,this money is still
with finance and security firm. Recently, my doctor
told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer)
that would last for the next four months.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness,
having known mycondition I decided to donate this
fund to either a Christian organization or a devoted
Christian individual that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct here in. I want this
Christian organization or individual to use this
money in all sincerity to fund churches, orphanages,
widows and also propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs
of the holy bible.The holy bible emphasized so much
on the giving of alms,charity and this has encouraged
me in taking this bold step.
I took this decision because I don't have any child to
start from and where I will stop and my husband's
relatives are all Muslims and I don't want my husband
hard earned money to be misused by people that call
me an unbeliever.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used
in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this
bold decision. I know that after death I will be with
God the most high and the most merciful one. I don't
need any telephone communications but will only give
you the contact of my lawyer Barr Mike Williams.
because he is the one who is going to assist you in making
you the beneficiary of the consignment in the finance and
security firm.With God, I know that all thing are possible
and as soon as I receive your reply through my lawyer I
will now give him instruction to make you the beneficiary
of the consignment and all necessary steps to take before
receiving these funds and I shall also give you the contact
of the finance and security firm I will also issue you a
letter of authority that will prove you as the original
beneficiary of the funds.
I want you and the Christian community where you reside
toalways pray for me.My happiness is that I lived a life
of a true devoted Christian though married to a Muslim,
whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth
and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through
your life.
Any dela y in your reply will give me room in sourcing for
anotherChristian organization or a devoted Christian for
the same purpose.Until I hear from you my dreams will
rest squarely on your shoulders,may the Almighty God
continue to guide and protect you. Amen.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Fatima Iyesa Ismiana
