Fraud email example:
From: "Mrs Serena Jones" <serena_jones@gawab.com> (may be fake)
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 22:33:51 +0100
Subject: Calvary Greetings.
From: Mrs Serena Jones.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I was married
to Dr. Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait embassy in
Ivory
Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2000.
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.
Since
his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside
my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of $28.6Million (Twenty-eight
Million six hundred
thousand U.S. Dollars) with one Finance/security
company in
Madrid-Spain. Presently, this money is still with the
Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the
next three months due to cancer problem. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Being aware of
my
condition I decided to donate this fund to church or
better
still a christian individual that will utilize this
money
the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a
church
that will use this fund 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 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 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 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 because of 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 Finance/Security Company in
Madrid-Spain. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that
will prove you as the original 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 for a chuch or christian
individual for this same purpose. Please assure me
that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in the Lord,
Mrs Serena Jones
