before he died in the tsunami disaster along with my children in Asia.Since his death, I have been in the hospital here under medical supervision. Just before my late husbands incident he sold this company and the proceeds was paid into a private bank account in Europe. Upon his death i was fowarded a notification to come to the bank premises in Europe to claim this amount since i am his next of kin but they are unaware of my situation and ailment which is so bad that i have lost my abilty to communicate verbally,I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the
lungs in this hospital here in Sharjah , and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilise 90% of this money to fund Religion home, orphanages and less priviledge around the world but in my family name must this generous donation be made in our family name "ABAYA".
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security firm and my late husbands attorney so he will asist you apply for the release of this funds after introducing you leagally to the bank.
