From: hajiya Abija Aliyu <habija1@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:40:36 +0100 (BST)
Subject: HELP IN THE WORK OF ALLAH
Dear Friend,
I am Hajiya Abija Aliyu from Holland. I am married to Dr. Mohammed Aliyu of united state who worked with Chevron Texaco as oil consultant/contractor in Africa for twenty years before he died in the year 2005.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region in Nigeria. He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region.
Before his death we were both Muslims. Since his death I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at GBP8m (Eight Million British Pounds) with account number 0130648335800. With a Bank In London United Kigdom. Meanwhile, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I am with my laptop in a hospital in South Africa where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested and proceed at the end of every year distributed among charity organization.
I want a person that is Allah fearing that will use this money to fund Musque, orphanages and widows propagating the word of Allah and to ensure that the house of Allah is maintained. I am made to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I know that there are a lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid. With Allah all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the financial firm. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. You are to help me invest this fund into real estate and stocks.
You will be entitled to 40% of every profit you make in a year. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. In your response to me, please include your telephone and fax number and also your mailing address.
