Subject: ASSALLAMUALAIKUM,MY DEAR PLEASE USE THIS FUND FOR THE WORK OF ALLAH AND FOR THE LESS PRIVILEDGED ONE
To:

ismillāhi-r-Rahmāni-r-Rahīm,

Al-Hamdulillāhi Was-Salātu Was-Salāmu ‘Alā Rasūlillāh,Wa Ba’d,

As-Salāmu ‘Alaikum Wa Rahmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh,

Wasalaam to you,and how are you doing?. My intention of contacting you is to solicit your assistance for a project, which will be mutually beneficial. Though I know my decision to contact you is to a large extent unconventional, the prevailing circumstances necessitated my action. I am Hajia Jamila Bello from Indonesia. I am married to Late Mallam Mustafa Bello of Dakar Senegal and am currently living in a hospital in Senegal, My late hushand of the blessed memory was an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he died in the year 2000.

We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Muslims. Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he made a huge deposit, in millions of US dollars with a Deposit Company here in Dakar Senegal. (I will tell you the amount as we proceed). Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Muslim organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund orphanages, widows,less priviledged and also propagating their religion and to ensure that the society upholds the views and belief of their religion.As a Muslim, i laid emphasis so much on the ALLAH’S benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold step. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are into some radical Organizations which I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an Unholy manner.

Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most benefficient and the most merciful. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health conditions and the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With ALLAH all things are possible(second Sura,( verse 257) which says: “There must be no coercion in matters of faith”).As soon as I receive your reply on Email: Jamila_bello02@yahoo.com
I shall give you the contact information of the Deposit Company in Dakar Senegal where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of authority to the Deposit Company authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslim life worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness. I will not stipulate any precise amount to reward you, as it will have to be on pre-negotiated terms based on your level of involvement. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for another organization or a devoted Individual for this same purpose. Until I hear from you by email, my dreams will rest squarely on your Shoulders.

“And I (Allah) did not create jinns and humans except that they worship Me(alone)”

Qu’ran 51:56

May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Allah Hafiz.

Hajia Jamila Bello.

Hello

Please use this money for the churches and less privileged in the world. God bless you as you read. I am Mrs., Siva Bala, from Netherlands a widow to late Dalis Bala, I am 61 years old, I am a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I wouldn’t live more than three months, according to my doctors, and in all indication regards to medical analysis, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage that no hope for me to be a living person again.
My late husband was killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.

The doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in America, Middle East, Asia and Europe especially create solution to problem of less privileged ones and orphanage homes.

I selected you after visiting the website I prayed and fast for few days over it, I am willing to donate the sum of ($6,000.000.00 us dollars), six million united states dollars to the less privileged.

Please I want you to note that fund is laying in a finance company in London, and upon my instruction, I will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose even though I am late then, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without God is vanity and I made the promise to God that the fund will be use to build his temple. May the grace of our lord the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family I await urgent reply. God blesses you.

Mrs. Siva Bala
