Cancer, Charity and God

This is one of those e-mails where they try and pack every kind of emotional button into the message.

It's clear they are targeting people who are religious in thought and deed.

There have been enough cases of christian (as well as Muslim) communities who have fallen for this type of message.

For me it is an expression of bad character. But then, who said these people have a character at all?

Dearly Beloved,

My name is Mrs.Jennifer Wilson I am a dying woman who had decided to
donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for.

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to the you for the good work of God,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and i believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation,and i pray that i survive the operation.

I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000(One million five
hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and to
help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the
widows.

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that
my relatives are around me and i have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because i deserve all thee rest i can get.Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address
jbsolicitorx@netscape.net if you are interested,so that he can arrange
the release of the funds ($1,500,000.00) to you.I know I have never met you but I have been directed to do this by God,and i hope you act
sincerely.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until
the task is accomplished,as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize
my last wish, due to the fact that i do not want relatives or family
members standing in the way of my last wish.

Regards,

Mrs.Jennifer Wilson
