Dearest BelovedPeace be with you in the Mighy Name of our LORD.please take your time to read what i m writing to you if really you are willing to help me carry out this project please mail back.I am Mrs. Sarah Akmed. From Liberia who came to Nigeria during the 1989-1996 Liberian civil war, which was one of Africa's bloodiest, claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians and further displaced a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries.I am married to Late Musa Akmed of blessed memory who worked for the relief organization Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF),France in London for years before his death. We were married for eleven years without a child 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 Christian by birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.5million dollars (Eight.five million dollars)with Mortgage and financial institution .Although i don't know you but i think the God i serve will touch your heart to help me and i also know you must have been receiving lots of email as me myself do receive email seeking for help for one money or the other, but i must assure you that i am a child of God although currently in the hospital.Presently, this money is still with the mortagage and financial institution and Recently, my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness rare kidney diease,with tumors on both kidneys which are (cancer) that would last for time.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness,having known my condition I decided to seek for either a Christian or muslim individuals that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want this individual to use this money in all sincerity to found churches,mosques,orphanages,orhome for the widows and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy book The holy book emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and this has encouraged me in taking this bold step.Although i am not the person who deposited the fund but my lawyer will assist you and make you the beneficiary of the funds. I took this decision because I don't have any child to start from and where I will stop and and I don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that call me an unbeliever (My Husband Relatives).I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision.I know that after death I will be with God the most high and the most merciful one. I will give you the contact of my lawyer as soon as you agree to help me carry out my wishies although i will have to look for a good lawyer who will assist and guide you in making you the beneficiary of the funds he is going to take care of the required documentions that will make you the Beneficiary of the funds he will not require any money from you, if he ask money from you kindly update me all i want from you is your Honest coorporation with him.I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted person though married to a Muslim, whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. May Almighty God continue to guide and protect you Amen. Yours faithfully,Mrs. Sarah Akmed
