"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!

Hello,



Dear, I have already sent you this message concerning the project for charity
that i want your help to carry out in your country but i have not have your
reply to know your willingness or acceptance to bear the responsibility for
God.



I am the above name person from Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I am married to
Mr. Mohd Faruk Sabri who worked with Malaysia Oil firm for 14 years before he
died in the year December, 2004 from Tsunami Earthquake: Read the news from the
webs (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake 
OR

http://library.buffalo.edu/asl/guides/indian-ocean-disaster.html
)

We were married for eighteen years without a child. Before his death we were
both born again Christians and we lived happily. Since before his death, I
decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he secured $4.800 000
00 dollars (Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a financial
institution. Presently, this money is still

with the financial institution here in Malaysia.



I was having a cancer disease but after the death of my husband, this was lead
to my stroke. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on
my health, I am not going to last long, especially, due to my cancer and
stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke. Having known my condition, I
decided to donate this fund to churches

or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund
churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God,
building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very
important. The Bible made us to understand that

blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I don't have any
child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians.
I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers for
their own selfish interest and in an

ungodly manner.

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 Verse 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 and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
sometimes, but if there is urgent need for that we shall communicate. I don't
want them to know about this development, but I know that with God all things
are possible.



As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the financial
institution and i will also give you all information regarding the deposit of
this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you
as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always
pray for me because God work in mysterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a
life of a worthy Christian. Who ever 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 church or
Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.



I will give you the contact information of my lawyer so he can prepare the
necessary Legal documents that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of
this fund as i have spoken with him to intimate him of my intentions. I hope
you are God fearing and will use this money for the betterment of the
less-privileged in our world.



Hoping to hear from you soon and remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Khatijah Nova Sabri
