SUBJECT: FAITH OF DONATION
Beloved In the name of Subhana watahala,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR ALMIGHTY ALLAH.
Salam! greetings in the name of the Almighty Allah, I am Hajia Aisha Hassan
a widow to Late....Alhaji Hassan Mohammed. I am
61 years old;suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all
indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that
I may not live more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to
a very
severe stage.
My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our
marriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood during the Gulf
war. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all
his business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live
for more than six months and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to
divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development of the work
of Subhana Watahala in Africa, America, Europe and Asian
Countries.
I selected you after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over
it, I am willing to donate the sum of $6.000,000.00 Million US Dollars to
the motherless baby homes, needy, poor, charity homes and widows too. Please
note that, this fund is lying with the Central Bank of Nigeria therefore my
lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in
the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention
of using this fund for personal use
other than enhancement of the work of Allah.
Lastly, I want you to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my
health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that
wealth acquisition without Allah in one's life is vanity upon vanity.
If you have to die says the Almighty Allah, keep fit and I will give you the
crown of
life. May the blessing of Allah be upon you.
I await your urgent reply.
May Almighty Allah Bless you and Grant you in all your doings
Hajia Aisha Hassan ......
