Fraud email example:
From: "Mrs. Cynthia Baidoo" <mrscybac@gmail.com>
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 05:07:09 -0700
Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ with Trust
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth; I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and
glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Cynthia Baidoo, the wife of Mr. Robert Baidoo, my husband worked
with the Chevron /Texaco in Kenya for ten years before he died while on a
business trip to Asia during the Asia Earth Quake Disaster (Phuket Island in
Thailand on the December 2004 (TSUNAMI DISASTER)
We were married for seven years without a child. Before his death we both
got born-again and dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
strongly against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$2.5 Million (Two
Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be
CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in South Africa where I have been undergoing
treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my
doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last
wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the
World.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as
the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure
that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that
blessed is the hand that grivets. I took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not
Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by
unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not
afraid of death since I know where I am going to.
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 soundless
voice and 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.
Beloved one, please send all replies to my other email:
( mrscybao@yahoo.com )
You're Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Cynthia Baidoo.
