Fraud email example:
From: "PASTOR HAROLD WILSON" <pastorharoldwilson@pravda.ru>
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:27:06 +0100
Subject: A TRUST DONATION.
Dear Beloved in Christ,
May God be with you and richly bless you as you read
this. Amen!
I am Barrister Harold Wilson based in the United Kingdom.
I am also an ordained pastor. To the Glory of God, I was
priviledged to be a close friend and confidant to a late
brother in Christ Rev. Hilary Darrel, who worked tirelessly
both in his private life and in the service of God in his
lifetime before his devine call to eternal glory.
In all my association with this late brother and
friend, this revelation, the object of this email was
never made known to me because the late Rev. Hilary
lived a very disciplined life. He was wealthy before
he went into ministry and adequately provided for his
family and also cared for people who were opportuned
to come in close contact with him.
However, shortly before his call to eternal Glory, he
had summoned me to his sick bed and told me about a trust
which he had made to be given out in the event that he died
which he intended to be used for charity, ministry, evangelical
work or otherwise when he was gone. This he asked me to
supervise, as a trusted friend for fear of subversion of his promise and
pledge to God.
He then prayed for me and blessed me trusting that I
would not subvert his pledge to God. Before he died,
he told me that his wife was aware of the trust and it was
to the tune of USD6.00M and that I will have to work with the
wife to carry out his last wishes.
Presently, I have already had a discussion concerning this
trust fund with the late Rev. Hilary's wife and owing to her
failing health, she has asked me to reach out to you concerning
this matter and see how we can work out something together.
I have prayed concerning this issue for God's guidance
and I want to reach out to you and for us to arrange how we can
work together to use this fund for charity, ministry, evangelical work or
otherwise as the Late Rev. Hilary wished, do get in touch with me for us to
have a discussion more on how to proceed with this noble gift.
God bless you once again. Please reply with this
email: pastorhwilson@yahoo.co.uk
Remain blessed in Christ Jesus.
Yours in the Lord,
Pastor Harold Wilson.
