Subject: FOR CHARITY
Hello,
My name is MRS.Maryam Azi, widow to late
Hassan A. Azi. former
owner of Petroleum & Gas Company, here in Kuwait. I am
68years old,
suffering from long time Cancer of the breast. From
all indications my
condition is really deteriorating and it's quite
obvious that I won't
live more than 2 months according to my doctors. This
is because the cancer
stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I don?t want
your pity but I need
your trust.
My late husband died early last year from Heart
attack, and during the
period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.
My late husband was
very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth.
The doctor has advised me that I will not live for
more than 2 months, so I
have now decided to spread all my wealth, to
contribute mainly to the
development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and
Europe.Am sorry if you
are embarrassed by my mail. I found your e-mail
address in the web
directory, and I have decided to contact you, but if
for any reason you find
this mail offensive, you can ignore it and please
accept my apology.
Before my late husband died he was major oil tycoon,
in Kuwait and deposited
the sum of (Twenty Five million dollars) in a finance
company in Europe
some years ago, thats all I have left now, I need you
To collect this funds
and distribute it yourself to charity .so that when I
die my soul can rest
in peace. The funds will be entirely in hands and
management. I hope God
gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives that is
my main concern. 30%
of this money will be for your time and effort, while
70% goes to charity.
You can get back to me via my private e-mail:
maryaminatuziz@aol.com
God bless you.
MRS.Maryam Azi.
