Good day beloved

After going through your profile through internet i decided to contact you for assistance for distribution of my inheritance. My name is Mrs. Rita Charles Wood; I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain I have decided to donate what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 7 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who perished in the flight AF4590 Concorde crash.

I have used part of the money my husband deposited in Kuwait to build orphanage home in Benin Republic and financed many charity homes/organization in Sudan where people has been ravaged my war before I was stopped by my husband’s relatives whose interest is to misuse these funds. Now my situation has gone so bad that I can no longer continue this work coupled with the aggression from my brother in-laws. But most fortunately, a deposit my late husband made in my name in a bank which I wanted to continue the charity work is still untraced by them.

I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $10,500,000 (ten million five hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the Motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my husband’s relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware I have changed my will you and he will arrange the transfer of the funds from my account to you.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. I have contacted my legal consultant and tell him that I have WILLED ($10,500,000.00) to you and I have also notified him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work. I know I don’t know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless. I will directive you further after hearing from you.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don’t want my husband relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.

please kindly send me your contact details as follow so that my attorney can use the information for the change of the account ownership
1. Full name
2. Phone and fax number
3. Address /country
4. Your age and current occupation
Regards,
Rita Charles (Mrs.)

I’ve only ever received this “you’re a good christian, so I’ll trust you to do good works with my wealth after I die” email on phone sex accounts. Don’t you think it might be a more effective scam if they sent it to people who actually consider themselves to be good christians?
