"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: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly."

Dear,

I do hope and pray you are doing fine and do accept my best and heartily compliments of the moment!

"2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his

heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in

everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed"

Though we have never met before, but i know my message will surely meet you in peace! I am a 47yrs Ms. Elia Chandi, an Executive Officer at Kuwait Energy Company, and

a Kuwait citizen. I am an orphan and widow and a devoted Christian, also the only daughter of Faisal Abdel Chandi an oil and gold businessman in Kuwait and Bahrain and

a relentless philanthropist before he died in a fatal car accident with my mother and a brother in 2005. I am currently in Dharamshila Hospital And Research Centre,

Delhi. INDIA where I have been diagnosed with multiple cases of advanced Ovarian cancer, Cervical cancer and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
I have been placed in a zero radiation observation unit and series of test conducted so far shows that I may pass on to the almighty within days because the multiple

cancer cases have course severe damages in my blood cells. Please I do not want you to pity me rather pray to Almighty God to give my soul a good resting place when I

shall meet him!

As I write you, I cannot leave the observation unit according to doctors instruction. But I have intention of leaving an indelible mark in this world before I pass on.

So therefore I will like to create a Legacy before passing on to Almighty. Before my fathers sudden death, he has plans to establish charity foundation as he was a

relentless philanthropist. Since i have lean chances of survival, I wish to reciprocate my father's noble gesture of establishing charity foundation project which he

could not actualize before his sudden demise. I wish to use my last savings to fund a Charity Foundation project. I arrived India with my last savings ($7.5 million)

which i lodged with New Delhi branch of an Indian bank on my arrival.

I am preparing to undergo multiple organ surgery in the next 7 days which the doctor said i stand 49% chances of survival because my liver has also been affacted and

both of my kidney has failed.

I have deposited $350,000 with the hospital to settle all my medical bills.

I would have given the money to the Doctor or any of the nurses treating me here had it been they have been friendly with me. They have been so hostile to me maybe

because since they knew i will die any moment, they thought is better not to care for me anymore.

I want you to receive the money from the bank, I want you to meet the manager of the bank as my authorized trusted person and Next-of-Kin.

I would like you to Handle the Charity Foundation project and also set up HIV AIDS, CANCER and LEUKEMIA research and patients center in my memory after I'm dead and

that of my late parent and brother so that the less privilege in the society who cannot afford the treatment for this ailment will benefit from these noble project. So

that when I am in God paradise their goodwill messages will be reaching me, I am not afraid of death because I know my God has prepared a paradise for me! I know that

I am going to be in the bosom of Almighty, therefore I fear no death. My Lord has surely fought my case and I shall hold my peace!

My dear if you wish to receive this fund and sure you will not betray my wish and that of my late father because if you betray our wish and trust by not using this

money for charity purposes God will surely judge you and you know where you will go after death. I don't know you but I'm placing this huge trust with pains and joy

in my heart believing as a true child of God, you will surely utilize this money for the work of God Almighty!

After you receive the funds, take $1.150 million to advance your business or whatever you are doing for a living! Then the remaining $6 million should be used strictly

for charity work! IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE CHARITY WORK SINCERELY, PLEASE IGNORE THIS OFFER AS YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOU CANNOT CHEAT GOD.

So I want to know, can you handle the charity foundation project as i instructed? If you know you can with the fear of God, i want you to send me your following

details to enable me sign the authorizing documents which will enable you stand as the Next-of-Kin and beneficiary of the funds;

YOUR FULL NAME:
YOUR FULL ADDRESS: (P.O.BOX IS NOT ALLOWED)
YOUR MOBILE PHONE:

After receiving this details of yours and signed the documents, i will send the authorization documents to you which you will use to contact the manager for the

meeting for the fund release.

Do pray that Almighty God will receive my soul!

Ms. Elia Chandi
