From: Amina Zami <aminaahmed_zami@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 03:07:33 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Sympathy.
From: Mrs Amina Miriam Zami
My dearest in Christ,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs Amina Miriam Zami, from Benin Republic. I am married to Ahmed Zami of blessed memory who worked with kuwait embassy in Munich Germany for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child and 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 Christain by birth and at this moment battling with both cancer and fibroid illness. When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of $2.6million dollars(two million , six hundred thousand dollars) with an overseas finance and security firm. Presently, this money is still with the finance and security firm. Recently, my doctor told me that i had a terminal illness (cancer) that would last for about the next four months.
Though what disturbs me is my cancer sickness. Having known my condition, i decided to donate this fund to either a trustworthy, Godfearing and Religiously devoted individual or organization that will utilize this money the way i am going to instruct theirafter. I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund, orphanages, The fight against cancer, widows in dare need and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of serving humanity which transcends ethnic, tribal and religious bounds. The holy bible and The Koran alike emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and this common belief and understanding has kept us happily married for eleven years and this encouraged me in taking this bold step. I took this decision because i don't have any child and i don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by people that are not trusworthy.
I don't want a situation where this money will be miused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that when i die, i will rest in peace with God the most high and the most merciful one if my wish is accomplished before i demise to the higher glory. i don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and presence of my husband's relatives around me always and i want this transaction to be strictly confidential. Kindly include your telephone and fax number when responding to this letter.
With God, i know that all things are possible and as soon as i recieve your reply, i shall 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 to always pray for me, my happiness is that i lived a life of a truely devoted Christain though married to a muslim, love conquers all. Whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room for sourcing another trustworthy organization or devoted person for the same purpose. Until i hear from you my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders, may the almighty God continue to guid and protect you, amen.
yours faithfully,
Amina Zami.
