"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!

Subject: Calvary greetings to you,


Dearest in the Lord,


Calvary greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm Mrs.
Rose Jema from Kuwait. I was married to Mr. Steven Jema, who worked with
Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died last year.
We were married for eleven years without a child. My husband died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death, we are
born again Christians.

My dear, I know you're surprised to receive this letter, but as a son of
the living God, you should know that our ways are not His ways. The
Bible tells me that works in many ways and it all works together for
good to those who believed in Jesus Christ. Newborn, is also the leader
of the Holy Spirit of God that I have chosen you in obedience and love
to satisfy the desire of my late husband, which I have argued for the
glory of God Vogli or cap ire that this benevolence is in fulfillment of
the desire and decision of my late husband which I am persuaded to
actualize.


After the death of my beloved husband, 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 USD $ 2,600,000 (two
million six hundred thousand U.S. dollars) in a bank here in Abidjan,
Cote d'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still in the bank.


Recently, my doctor told me it would not last for the period of nine
months due to my cancer problem. What disturbs me most is my stroke
sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
charity organization, church, Christian organization, or a true
believer, that will use this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.


I want you to do this fo n to use for orphanages, schools, churches,
widows, and the privilege of people in less than 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 do not have any child that will inherit this money
and my husband relatives are unbelievers and do not want my husband's
efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
way. That's why I make this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I
know where I'm going. I know I'm 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 do not need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health condition and the presence of my husband's
relatives around me always trying to re v endicare this money from me c h
and my husband left me. I do not want them to know about this
development. With God all things are possible.

I want you to handle on your own because my health can not allow that to
me as I have been put on dialysis routine medical examination. Also I
am writing this letter with the assistance of a sister who used to help
me. I want you to send me your full name and address so that I can swear
to an affidavit, under oath, which officially and legally recognized
you as the next of kin to this fund, even if I died for your claim the
fund in the bank will not be in doubt. I will be posting the affidavit
of oath and the certificate of deposit of this fund immediately after
the deposition is ready.

As soon as we receive your reply I will give you the contact of the bank
in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, dov and this money was deposited by my
beloved husband. I will also issue is the affidavit of oath that legally
and officially approve you the next of kin and new beneficiary to the
fund together with the certificate of deposit of this fund, which my
late husband used to pay the money in the bank. I want you to always
pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd.


My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Anyone who
wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and in truth.
Please be praying always for life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose.

Hoping to receive your urgent response.
