I AM MARYIAM MOHAMMAD .I AM MARRIED TO LATE KAZEEM MOHAMMAD OF BLESSED MEMORY
WHO IS AN OIL EXPLORER WITH BUSINESS CONNECTIONS IN SINGAPORE AND CHINA FOR
TWELVE YEARS BEFORE HE DIED IN THE YEAR 2002.
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 MUSLIMS

WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS ALIVE HE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF $10,000,000,00 (TEN MILLION UNITED
STATE DOLLARS) WITH A FINANCE COMPANY IN OVERSEA, 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 AND HAVING KNOWN MY CONDITION
I DECIDED TO DONATE THIS FUND TO EITHER A MUSLIM ORGANIZATION OR DEVOTED MUSLIM
INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL UTILIZE THIS MONEY THE WAY I AM GOING TO INSTRUCT HEREIN.
I WANT THIS MUSLIM ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL TO USE THIS MONEY IN ALL SINCERITY TO FUND
MOSQUES, ORPHANAGE ,WIDOWS AND ALSO PROPAGATION OF THE WORD OF ALLAH AND TO ENSURE
THAT THE SOCIETY UPHOLD S THE VIEWS AND BELIEF OF THE HOLY QURAN.
THE HOLY QURAN EMPHASIZES SO MUCH ON ALLAH'S BENEVOLENCE AND THIS HAS ENCOURAGE ME TO
TAKE THE BOLD STEP, I TOOK THIS DECISION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANYCHILD THAT WILL INHERIT THIS
MONEY AND MY HUSBAND RELATIVES ARE NEW CHRISTAIN'S CONVERTS 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 ALLAH THE MOST BENEFICENT AND THE MOST MERCIFUL, I
DON'T NEED ANY TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION IN THIS REGARD BECAUSE OF MY HEALTH. ALSO BECAUSE
OF THE PRESENCE OF MY HUSBAND'S RELATIVES AR OUND ME ALWAYS.
I DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT, WITH ALLAH ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. AS
SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY ON THIS EMAIL, I SHALL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE
FINANCE COMPANY AND THE COUNTRY IN OVERSEA WHERE THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED.
I WILL ALSO ISSURE A LETTER OF AUTHORITY TO THE FINANCE COMPANY AUTHORIZING THEM THAT THE
FUND HAVE BEEN WILLED TO YOU AND A COPY OF SUCH AUTHORIZATION WILL BE FORWARED TO YOU.
I WANT YOU AND MUSLIM COMMUNITY WHERE YOU RESIDE TO ALWAYS PRAY FOR ME, MY HAPPNESS IS
THAT I LIVED A TRUE DEVOTED MUSLIM WORTHY OF EMULATION, WHOEVER THAT WANTS TO SERVE
ALLAH MUST SERVE HIM IN TRUTH AND IN FAIRNESS. PLEASE ALWAYS BE PRAYERFUL ALL THROUGH
YOUR LIFE.
ANY DELAY IN YOUR REPLY WILL GIVE ROOM IN SOURCING FOR A MUSLIM ORGANIZATION OR A DEVOTED
