From: Mrs.Mami Fidi,
Compliments of the day.
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE ORPHANGES AND WIDOWS.
I am the above named person from Malaysia but now undergoing medical treatment
now.
I am married to Late Dr. Alan George Fidi who worked with Malaysia embassy
in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2003. We were
married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that
lasted for only four days . Since his death I decided not to re-marry or
get a child outside my matrimonial home.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $1.2 Million U.S.
Dollars) with one finance/security company in Europe.Presently, this money
is still with the Financial Company in Europe. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though
what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to Organisation or better still an individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual
that will use this to fund for orphanages and widows propagating love among
individual and to ensure that the orphanages are taken care off.
I took this decision because I don?t have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are idiol worshipers and I don?t want my husband?s
hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don?t want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for
taking this bold decision, all I just need is peace and my dream for the
orphanges comes through. I don?t need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband?s
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 the contact of the Finance/Security
Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority through my
lawyer that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing for another Christian individual for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you and remain blessed.
Best Regards,
Mrs.Mami Fidi .
