Fraud email example:
From: "Helen Nelson" <helendon04@marafiki.com>
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:58:58 +0200
Subject: DONATION FROM HELEN NELSON
*DONATION FROM HELEN NELSON*
*From Mrs. Helen Nelson*
*email **mrs.helen_nelson@yahoo.co.id* <mrs.helen_nelson@yahoo.co.id>* *
*IN LORDSHIP*
**
*I am Mrs. Helen Nelson, from Canada. I am married to late Dr Paul Nelson,
who worked with Canada Embassy in cote d'ivoire **for Twenty-Six years
before he died in the year 2002, after a brief illness that lasted for only
five days. *
**
*We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter(Linda)who later died in
a motor accident.*
**
*Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians.
Since after 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$3.5M)(three
Million,Five hundred Thousand United States Dollar) in a General Trust
Account with a prime bank in **Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire**. *
**
*Presently,this money is still with the bank. Recently,Following my ill
health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due
to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.*
**
*Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain
organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
*
**
*I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like,Orphanages,
Christain schools, and Churches for 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 in ABIDJAN*
**
* I will also issue you the documents 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, any delay in your reply will give me
room in sourcing another Church for this same purpose. *
**
*Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping
to receive your reply in my private email: **mrs.helen_nelson@yahoo.co.id
* <mrs.helen_nelson@yahoo.co.id>* *
**
*Remain blessed in the Lord. *
**
*Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Helen Nelson*
