Author Topic: Did they really think I would believe this?  (Read 1457 times)

So I just checked my email and found this letter in my inbox:

Dearest Friend Good Day To You :
   I am Mrs Stella Collins, from Kuwait.I am married to late Mr Harry Collins , who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2005,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (Silvia) who later died in a motor accident.Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his death 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 (US$4.8 M )(Four Million,Eight hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently,this money is still with the bank.
Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a  Christain / Muslim organization (Church) (mosque) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.I want this fund to be used in Christain/ Islamic Activities like,Orphanages, Christain / Islamic schools, and Churches for propagating  the word of God and to endeavor 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 relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. 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 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 health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always.I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please
always be prayerful all through your life.
Contact me as urgent as possible because any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours joyful sister,
Mrs Stella Collins.

And at this point she never receives another email from them.

Lol. I had one saying this

Dear Friend
I have recently started a million pound empire business in filming and wish you to be the co-owner. It will make millions within a few days with out new movie releases starring the best actors.
Please send $5000 to the address provided and await reply.

From Anon

---------------------------
I looked at this and thought
A- How'd this bastard get my e-mail address
B - There is no 'address provided anyway'
C - Anon? That's just pathetic
D - I haven't got $5000. I am British anyway so stop asking me for money I don't understand
E - Friend? I haven never met you
F - Millions in a few days? Are you insane

Since then he never sent again :)

Hello,
I write you after proper consideration that a telephone conversation may not be the ideal medium to contact you.
I got your contact through my search on the internet for a reliable person. i am in National Guard Artillery unit
here in Iraq, we discovered some funds when on routine foot patrol in Khalis Iraq at companies compound,
We can't keep these funds so we want to move the funds to you to keep it for us in your safe account.
The money is legit. if you are interested get back to me for details. This business is risk free.
Capt. G. Smith

THEY'RE ON TO ME D:
HAAALP

At least they not asking for money!
And how'd they get your e-mail from a search
Surely they'd have typed in 'email addresses' and got the President of the USA of something



This seems legit. Do it.

My dad gets these all the time.
He set up a second bank account with only a few dollars in it to use for these, just in case they're not fakes, lol.
