"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

FAITH OF DONATION GIVEN TO YOU.
EVANG,MRS. Mother sandra moora,
765 WATER FRONT BOSTON HOUSE,
BELOVED IN CHRIST,
Please Indevour To Use My Fund For The Chrildren Of God.
I am the above named person. I am married to Dr.James u. Moora A
Liberian but I'm now in Nigerian General Hospital taking treatment for
my sickness "Breaste Cancer", My husband worked with London embassy in
Liberia 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 which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he
deposited
the sum of$11.5 million ( Elevenmillion.fivehundred thausand
U.S.Dollars) in
the Bank.


Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the Bank.My
Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next seven months due to my
illhealth
condition.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke having known my
condition,

I decided to donate this fund to church or better 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 on, 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
forward your personal information to the Bank .so that they will
contact you
as the legal owner of this fund before transferring the fund into your
nominated Bank Account in your country.I will also issue you a letter
of a
authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this
fund.

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd.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 to my condition your delay 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 as soon as possible.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Evangelist Mother Sandra moora.
pls kindly reply me on my private mail box sandra_moora@yahoo.com
GOD BLESS YOU AMEN.
