This is to inform you that you have won a prize money of One million Great
Britain Pound Sterlings (£1,000,000.00) Lottery promotion which is
organized by YAHOO/MSN LOTTERY INC & WINDOWS LIVE.
Things must be bad for Yahoo ind Microsoft if they are now hosting lottery drawings. Oh well, they are known names and I might win… Oh wait, I did win!
The next one has to be my favorite. I mean come on. It starts out with “Dear Beloved.” It is soooo touching.
Dear Beloved
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the
truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of
God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His
Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. jennifer ericson,the wife of Mr.david ericson,both of us, are
citizens of the united state of America. my husband worked with the
Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year
2003.We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after
a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both
got born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
strongly against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a
Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will
be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come over. Presently, I’m in a hospital in Russia where I have
been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks
to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to
help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund
churches,orphanages and widows 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 don’t have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband’s relatives are not
Christians and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused
by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am
not afraid of death since I know where I am going to.
I know that I am going to be in the bossom 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 soundless
voice and presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t
want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to
conclude this, reach me on my private mail: jennifer_ericson(at)live.com
Remain Blessed
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. jennifer ericson
