"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!

I have a new email address!You can now email me at: tatiana_21_21@yahoo.com

From: Mrs. Tatiana Georgieva


London, W8 5DL,


26 Kensington Court,


England.



I am Mrs. Tatiana Georgieva , a citizen of Bulgaria but I based in


England,I am married to Sir Jim Georgieva who also is an Englishman


though dead now.My husband worked with the British Railways for over

two


decade before the cold hand of death took him away on the 3rd of


December 2004 at about 2:00AM. Ourmarriage lasted for over a decade

without


any fruit of the womb.My husband died after a protracted illness. My


husband and I made a vow to uplift the own-trodden and the

less-privileged


individuals within the United Kingdom,Europe, North and South America,


Africa and the rest of the globe as he had passion for persons who can


not help themselves due to physical disability or financial


predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from

this


relationship, which never came.



When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten


Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with a security company in Europe


. this money is still with the security company Presently, am suffering


from cancerous ailment for some years now. Recently, my Doctor told me


that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life spam


will not exceed 150days due to the cancerous problems I am suffering


from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition

to


the cancer.



With this hard reality that has befallen my family, I have decided to


donate this fund to a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a


nonprofit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize


this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a non


governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or

better


still an individual, that will use this gift which comes from my


husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,

destitute, the


down-trodden, physically challenged children,barren-women and persons


who prove to be genuinely


handicapped financially. It is often said that blessed is the hand that


gives.I took this decision because I do not have any child that will


inherit this money and my husband relatives are Bourgeois and very


wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be


misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not 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 with the Almighty when I eventually pass on.


The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not


need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating


health and because of the presence of myhusband relatives around me. I


do not 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 my attorney whom i have entrusted every details regarding this fund.



As Soon as i your information is been received by my attorney, he will


also issue a Letter of Authority andpower of attorney on this regards,


making you the original beneficiary of this fund with other


relateddocuments.As soon as i get this information from


you i shall send to you my Identities to you for properverifications.


My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.


Please always be prayerful all through yourlife. Any delay in your


reply will give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or a non


religious,and or a non profit organization or better still an

individual


for this same purpose. Please assure me that


you will act just as I have stated herein.



Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of


your family.





Mrs. Tatiana Georgieva. Benefactor
