Assalamualakum
My name is Mrs Amina Malik from Iraq. I am married to
Dr .Hassan Malik, who worked with shell Petroleum Company in Iraq for
twelve years before he died after a brief illness. We were married for
eight years without a child. Since we married we were both Islamic
couple members. After 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$6.5 Million (six
million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with International
Diplomatic service firm in Malaysia with purpose to invest the fund in
Islamic foundation before death took him, The fund is still under safe
keeping with the International Diplomatic firm in Malaysia, hence am
contacting you to help me to achieve this project in your country.
During the current war in my country all the property and the asset of
my husband were destroyed I don't have anything left on behalf of my
husband except this fund that's deposited with the Diplomatic service
company in Malaysia, now am undergoing a serious sickness that resulted
to be stroke and cancer problem, I had tried all my best to treat myself
with every medical expert but there is no improvement, Currently my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my
cancer problems. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund
to mosque, Islamic school authority or better Muslim individual that will
utilize this money the way I instruct. I want this fund to be
disburse to, orphanages, widows promoting the work of Almighty
Allah, needies and to promote work of almighty Allah in your country. The
Qoran made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took
this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money
and my husband relatives are Christians and unbelievers. I don't want my
husband hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers because I know he
will be rejoicing in the bosom of Allah if this fund is spent to promote
the work of almighty Allah. I don't want a situation where this money will
be used in an ungodly manner. That's the reason for taking this bold
decision. I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. I know
that I am going to be in the heaven. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because my health and the presence of my
husband relatives around 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 i will instruct the DIPLOMATIC operation manager and my
husband lawyer in Malaysia to furnish you with more details on how to
receive my fund.
I will also instruct him to issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
Moslem to always pray for me because in almighty Allah I put my hope. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Moslem. Whosever that wants
to serve Allah must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be
prayerful all through your life. And reply me through my e-
mail address as delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for
another faith member for this same purpose. Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated here.
As I am disabled and can not be able to move around and do much due to
am presently very ill, I will really appreciate your urgent respond
through my Email address as the internet is my only mean of communicating. Or through the help of a nurse here who is so kind to assist me in the hospital and taking care of me
Remain blessed in the name of the Allah.
Amina Malik.
