A message from Ouagadougou - where's that?

Here's another inheritance story for you this time the deceased is kept anonymous. That, of course, keeps it much easier for the crooks, because they do not have to provide any sort of corroboration for the truth of the background story.

The contact telephone number is in Burkina-Faso, but that is the only thing which is true.

ATTENTION REQUIRED: DEAR FRIEND.

TELL 00226 78 86 65 00,

I Mr.SALIF DANGOTE, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section in Bank of Africa ouagadougou-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect and regards I have decided to contact you on this business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During my investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer, a foriegner who died on plain crash and, the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development. Actually, the late customer was a big merchant who trades on Gold, Diamond, Elephant tusks and crude oil from Africa to Asia and Europe and this money he deposites in our bank to pay for his purchases.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and during the time of execution ( Two is secret). The amount involved is $14 Million usd (Fourteen Million united states dollars).Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward to you upon your acceptance. Information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow from a foreign nation who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be retransfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone bills etc, while 60% will be for me. Please,you have been advised to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I have concluded this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any other country you may advise me to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal and asking any questions that are not cleared by you for a good follow-up.

Best regards,
Mr.SALIF DANGOTE.

Isaac John wants to relocate some money

This one goes along the lines of a typical inheritance e-mail. What strikes me, looking at the last few mails of this kind, is that the crooks are increasingly using "no names" for their stories.

Joyce Lake is one of this kind, which have (as far as I can tell) just turned up this one time. After doing a quick check on the URL quoted here, does refer to Joyce Lake and her husband. The crooks have obviously researched this and the passenger list with details has obviously made their job easier.

You can check the URL here: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/

Normally, the crooks quote the bank and country in their messages. This time the only thing you will find is a telephone number: 00229 93 47 51 17. And that is a number from Benin, West Africa.

What a surprise!

Of course what does not figure with this story is, why would Joyce stash money in Benin?

As an honor and advantage bestowed to our foreign customers base on the rules guiding our bank, it was stated obviously that if you are not a Burkina Faso citizen, you have the absolute authority to claim the fund despite your differences from the country of origin of the deceased. So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased.
PERCENTAGE RATIO: note that 35% being (US$11,55,000.00) will be your share in respect of your assistance and account provide for the transfer, 55% (18,150,000.00) will be my share being the pioneer of the business while the rest 10% (US$3,000,000.00) will be used to install a joint company in your country which will bear our name in particular and whatever profit made out from this company will be used in helping the less privileges, motherless babies home and charity organization in the world.

Loteria e-mails and Spam?

One point that lottery e-mails all have in common is they freely explain to the receiver that their e-mail address was illegally used for the fictive promotion.

Although they do not say how they were in possession of the e-mail address. The crooks do use harvester bots to go through websites trawling for any e-mail address which can be found. Unfortunately, there are enough websites where this sort of information is in plain text.

Today, website administrators are usually aware of this and offer legitimate users valid contact details, but cloak e-mail addresses so they are not recognised by the bots. Of course, this will not stop anybody collecting addresses manually, but it doesl make life easier for a lot of people by stopping Spam e-mails at the source.

My ATM Card at the Skye Bank

As far as I can recall I have never had any contact with Bello Range (great name isn't it?) at all. Considering that, this e-mail is assuming that I know why he is contacting me.

There is no mention of the amount of money I will be getting, just that I will get a ATM card to withdraw the money with. He does mention that I only have to invest 146$ for an Affidavit, which leads me to believe that Bello is trying the inheritance scam with this one.

The cancer story from Mrs. Black-Brown?

Ok, this is the regurgitated "I've got cancer and a pile of money for Charity" e-mail. There is no way you can dispute that. You can check on other versions with the above link.

Personally, I think Nita is either Joker or not very intelligent or maybe both. I say this because, seriously, do you know anyone called Black-Brown?

To: nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com


Warm Greetings,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, we have to worship our Lord Jesus christ with all our heart because we have determined to remain under the covering of His anointing, Obedience to His purpose and living a life that honours Him will keep us under His hand of blessing.

I am Mrs Nita Blackbrown markson from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Black brown who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian.

Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$10.7million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.

Recently when l went to Medical check , my Doctor told told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Now l am back where my late Husband deposited the money and will go back for surgical operation immediately the money is transfered to your account as l will direct you on how to Donate the money

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace"

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.

I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church / Organisation or individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. my private email address is ( nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com)

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ.

Mrs Nita Blackbrown.

To: undisclosed-recipients


Good day,

Got to know of you in search for a reputable and reliable person to  assist me in an urgent need requiring utmost trust and confidentiality,  while browsing the internet after I have decided on what to do as regards the matter.

I am Mrs jessica parker, Corporate control Officer of a commercial Bank here in United Arab Emirate. I am writing this letter to ask for your  support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department.

I discovered an abandoned sum of US$8.2 million in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family of a wife and three children in a train crash in Spain http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/2961302.stm  After further investigation I also discovered that my Late Customer did  not declare any next of kin in his official papers  including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also earlier confided in me the last
time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. He instructed I keep it very confidential.

What bothers me most is that according to the new laws of my country at the expiration of Six years of maturity the funds will revert to the ownership of the EMIRATE Government without future compensation if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my Late Customer so that you will be able to receive his funds.

Because I do not want the fund go into the hands of corrupt government officials.

To commence this transaction, I require you to immediately indicate your interest
Contact me through my Email Address:jessica_parker_0@yahoo.com

My warm regards,
Mrs.jessica parker

My name is Mr. Simon Smith, I am an Artist and a consultant. I live in UK, with my three kids and two of my dogs and my wife. It is definitely a full house and I have been doing Artworks ever since I was young. That made me heard about 18 years experience in the profession. I have a major in Art in high school and took a few College Art Courses. Most of my works are done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils, which I have recently added to make my work more presentable to world. I design and create artwork on the computer too. I have been selling my artworks for the past 4 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints, dallies, magazines and others. I have sold my artworks in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans and British’s and people in some other countries of the world, they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE and Other Forms of Negotiable Instruments, which is difficult to be cashed here in UK.

I am looking for a representative in the STATE or UK and other countries of the World who will be working for me as a per time worker and I will be willing to pay the person 15% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. I mean someone who would help me receive payments from my customers. I need a person who is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive for me and I am working on setting up a branch in some countries soon, so for now I need a representative in some countries who will be handling the payment aspect for me This payments will becoming from my clients and your name and address will be effected on any of the negotiable instruments my clients are paying you with. So all you need to do is to cash the PAYMENTS, deduct the said percentage and send the balance of the money back to us through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to any place I will have to instruct you. But the problem I have is Trust and Honesty, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I will contact the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) branch in Washington to get that person tracked down before the next 48hours. These payments from my clients will be sent to you through FEDEX or UPS. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible with the information’s below

A letter for partnership Investment

I humbly solicit your assistance for the Smooth and quick remittance of the sum of Ten Millions United States dollars (USD 10,000,000.00) into your personal account for our mutual benefits and for investment purposes. My name is Dr. Davidson Khumalo, I am a South African by nationality and I am medical doctor by profession under United Nations. This money was part of forty- five Millions United States (USD 45,000,000.00) donated to United Nation for the payment of workers during the 2004 military massacre and civil disorder in Iraq by the government of Switzerland.

The probe panel which was set up by the United Nations to investigate missing funds and other valuable properties came up with United Nations report in June 2004 and classified the money as missing in action (MIA) that was part of the things which were destroyed during the armed conflict and the case was struck off. With aid of my personal friend who is a deputy director of currency operation in central bank of Iraq and my personal lawyer, we succeeded in moving the funds out of Iraq and brought it into Security Company in Europe

Presently, this fund is safely guarded in cash there in Amsterdam Holland with a private security company registered as precious materials (diamond and gold) belonging to my foreign affiliate, the reason is just to avoid questions on the knowledge of the content. This transaction needs some one who is reliable and capable like you and in appreciation to your efforts, we have mapped out 30 % for you, 10% is for every expenses incurred both internationally and locally during the cause of the transaction, while the remaining 60 % is for I and my colleagues.

It is in light of this that I took my time to look for God fearing and sincere person who will assist us to transfer this money to his personal account. Please if this transaction does not interest you, do not disclose it to any other person for my security and safety of the fund. Be informed that this transaction demands highest degree of secrecy, transparency in honesty and confidentiality on your own part.

Note: I am waiting to receive your reply urgently and please remember to furnish me with your private telephone number for easy communications and security reasons.

While awaiting your response, thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

    - Dear Friend, I Am Mr. Gabriel Johnson the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank.Actually, I have a very urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our overall mutual interest. On the 6th of March2001, our Customer, an American National, late Jeffrey Collman, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine noti!
    fication to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, thatlate Jeffrey Collman, until his death five years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Jeffrey Collman, did not declare any Next of kin in all his official documents. This sum US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Laws, at the expiration of 7years, the money will rev!
    ert to the Ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to c
    laim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin of late Jeffrey Collman. This is simple. All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on your return email the following information for the transfer in your favor. 1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund. 2. Your contact address. 3. Your private phone and fax numbers, Let's consider that our ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus; 1. I as the Originator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable Fund. 2. You as the Manager of the Fund will take 40% of the transferable Fund. Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the life wire to the success of the transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated between you and me. You have to use this media to promise me tha!
    t you will not in anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues and Co-Workers. I will also want you to send your reply to this email as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and understanding. I wait for your kind resp onse. Remain blessed. Mr. Gabriel Johnson

Are you out of a Job?

Just this morning, I was reading about money laundering in a German magazine. It stated "In compliance with anti money laundering laws, German banks reported more than 10,000 cases of suspicious transfers to and from customer accounts in 2006".

That is a lot of suspicious transactions!

I am sure that the most of the cases reported were too conscientiously vetted by the banks. As there are no hard and fast rules what are suspicious transactions?

What would be considered suspicious is easy to explain. First of all, the amount of money being  transfered is important. Whereby not only the individual transfers would be considered, but also the sums transfered over a period of time would mark an account as suspicious. This would be especially so, when an account started receiving unusual transactions above and beyond it's usual turnover.

Where transfers come from and/or go to could also mark an account as suspicious. Strangely enough, top of the list of suspicious countries by transfers to European accounts is the US and it's not surprising to see Russia by transfers out.

One of the methods being used by crooks and drug rings to cover money laundering activities is the Transfer Agent Job offer. Just like the one offered in this e-mail.

As money laundering laws are in place in most countries, you run the risk of being arrested by taking up any job like this. Sooner or later, it's you who will feel the brunt of the law bearing down on you and not the crooks behind it.

Billy Wood ART & CRAFT WORKS.
380 Kensington High Street, London, United Kingdom , London,
Mobile: +447024068845 or +447031908923

My name is Mr. Billy Wood I am an Artist and a consultant. I live in UK, with my three kids, two cats, one dog and the love of my life i.e. my wife. It is definitely a full house and I have been doing Artworks since I was young. That made me heard about 18 years experience in the profession. I have a major in Art in high school and took a few College Art Courses. Most of my works are done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils, which I have recently added to make my work more presentable to world. I design and create artwork on the .computer too. I have been selling my artworks for the past 4 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints, dallies, magazines and others. I have sold my artworks in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans and British’s and people in some other countries of the world, they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE and Other Forms of Negotiable Instruments, which is difficult to be cashed here in UK.

I am looking for a representative in the STATE or UK and other countries of the World who will be working for me as a per time worker and I will be willing to pay the person 10% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work. I mean someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the STATE or UK and Other Countries of the world. I need a good person who is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive for me and I am working on setting up a branch in the STATE and UK, so for now I need a representative in the United states and UK who will be handling the payment aspect for me. These payments are neither going to be coming in form of a MONEY ORDER, TRAVLLERS CHECKS, PERSONAL CHECK or BUSINESS CHECKS.

These payments will becomefrom my clients to you and your name and address will be affected on any of the negotiable instruments my clients are paying you with ok. So all
you need to do is to cash the PAYMENTS, deduct your said percentage and send the balance of the money back to us through Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to any place I will have to instruct you to do that. But the problem I have is Trust and Honesty, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I will contact the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) branch in Washington to get that person tracked down before the next 48hours. These payments from my clients will be sent to you through FEDEX or UPS. Once you have cashed the payment there, you’re meant to deduct your 10% and send the balance to me via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.And if not interested dont bother to reply. 

Thanks
Regards,

Mr. Billy Wood

Money from a princess?

This is a plain "damsel in distress" story. Of course, it's just a cover for a so called "Advance Fee Fraud".

This "Damsel" will refer you to a "lawyer" who will then proceed to tell you that there are fees, taxes or even bribes to be paid, before the money can be transfered to your account. If you decide to pay, you will find that there are other "problems" which can only be solved with more money from you.

And the 7.5 Million USD?

You will never see it.

You can forget the long term relationship with a dark coloured princess from Africa too.

Rue 15 Paris Village
Abidjan Cote d Ivoire

I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this.

I am a female student from University of Abidjan, Cocody campus. I am 19yrs old. I'did like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented.I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.
Well, my father died earlier two months ago. He was a kin (Traditonal King), which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my motheris not literate enough to know all my father's wealth.He left the sum of USD 7,500, 000.00 dollars (Seven Million,

Five Hundred a Thousand US Dollars) in a local bank here in my country .This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company (S.P.D.C) and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction.

I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to TRANSFER this money from the local bank into your account . I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.

I am ready to offer 10% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in transfering this fund, kindly reach me.

Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible.

Fondation de France is often used as a front

Just a couple of days ago this e-mail came in. The exact same message was received today.

Reading it, I ask myself this question, "why would an organisation like this choose me to receive a donation?". I have not made an application or request or a grant. Of course the mail is a fraud and does not come from the FDF, but I can imagine that all sorts of people from, all over the world, would be more than excited to get this message.

The problems here are, not only does the FDF make grants of money but it's main language is French. This means people receiving this mail, who don't speak French, will only understand that the FDF gives grants. They will more than likely not realize that they have been contacted by crooks and not by the real FDF until it's too late.

Here are previous fraud e-mails using the Fondation de France as a front

They always come as a surprise, don't they?

This message is also one that has been sent very frequently. The text remains the same, just the names are changed.

The basic tenure of the message is to give the impression that the lady is an unfortunate Christian who has lost her husband and is also stricken with cancer. Of course, regretting how she has lived, she wishes to to atone by giving her money to a trustworthy person to distribute to charities.

The moral of story is, people who contact the sender, end up sending money and not receiving it.

That's why a so called Barrister is named. Within a very short time you no longer Victoria Moore mentioned in any correspondence.

Compliment Of The Day,

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise, well I am Victoria.C.Moore, wife of Late Sir Albert Ellen Moore an Irish citizen who died in the aftermath of the political crisis in Lome, Togo Aged 68, I got your information from a business directory at the British Chamber
of Commerce and Industries when I was searching through for a foreigner that will be trusted.I have been sick and bedridden; I am infected with cancer as you may know is a
terminal disease. Presently, my speech capacity has been seriously impaired.

As you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday because according to medical experts I will not live long since my ailment has defiled all forms of medical treatment; so I have decided to accept my fate while dedicating the rest of my life to the service of God by rendering service to humanity on behalf of my husband whom I will be joining shortly,While alive, my husband and I have not particularly lived our life so well, as we never really cared for anyone (not even ourselves) but business.

Though we were very rich but never generous, always hostile to people and only focused on business as that was the only thing we cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Wherever my husband is I know he will be happy with my decisions I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends, I have also distributed money to some charity organizations in the Algeria, Sudan, India,Sierra Leone,Cambodia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more.

I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute themoney which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; theyrefused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them,The last of the funds which no one knows of, is the
cash deposit in one of the banks here. I want to know if you can be of good help to dispatch these funds to CHARITY organizations. I have set aside 20% of the total amount $2,000,000.00 (Two million dollars) for you and your time and patience for carrying out this
duties. This means you will keep $400,000 (Four hundred thousand dollars) for yourself and donate the rest to any charity organization. May God be with you as you have decided to take a bold step to heal the world with me or even in my demise. I am going in for an operation now, and I dont think I will make it. And this hurts.If you can give me this assistance, you can then contact my lawyer who will assist you in getting the funds to you in my absence if I die or not.He would give you more details. His name is Barr. Thomas Frederich and his email address is: ( barthomasfre@aim.com ) He would guide you through
receiving the funds.

Yours sincerely,
Victoria.C.Moore

European Football Championship 2008 casts it's shadow

Do you believe that the UEFA would give away 200 million, just like that. Even with 20 or so "Sponsors", they wouldn't do it without the world media knowing. I haven't noticed anything like this in the press, have you?

I expect that, coming up to the start of the European Championships next year, we will see a whole lot more of this kind of scam or fraud e-mail.

Dearest One,

Greetings in name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am Mrs.Grace Adolphus, 50 years old widow suffering from long time cancer According to my doctor my condition is critical and I might not survive.

Although as a christian, I beleive God and I know that I will not die, but will live to declare the glory of God.My late husband (Dr.Kenneth Adolphus) died after a brief illness which I later found out that my husband's relations where the one that killed him because of his wealth, so that they will inherit his wealth because we have only a little daughter and the custom said that girls are not entitled to inherit wealth and properties as they will marry to another man and should not carry the wealth of the family to another family . But my Lord Jesus Christ is my only comforter.

I have the sum of $4m (four million US Dollars) presently deposited in a fixed/suspense account with a bank here in Lagos-Nigeria by my late husband and all the documents concerning the fund are in the custody of my lawyer.I inherited the money from my late husband who was an industralist and worked with Nigeria embassy in Botswana.I have prayed concerning this donation for God's guidance and if in your heart , you geniunely and faithfully desire to use this fund for the propagation of God's work in any form whether for charity,ministry, evangelical work or otherwise in relation to God's work and to take care of my only daughter who is only but 15yrs, do get in touch with me for further arrangements on how you will receive this money and arrange for my daughter to come over there and continue her studies and a new life
as my health condition is getting bad.

God bless you once again .

Remain blessed in the Lord

Yours in Christ,

A donation from a Christian?

This message is one of those which crops up quite often. It usually is the same story with names and localities changed.

DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs. Monica Tema
 
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.I am the above name person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr Ebenezer Tema who worked with Sierra Leonian Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happilly. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry.
 When my late husband was alive he secured $15Million (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars) with financial institution here in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.
 Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.
 The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians. I don?t want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
 I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible.
 As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial institution in Ivory coast. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
 Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
 Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
 Yours in Christ,
Mrs Monica Tema
