grahamc Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 YOU ARE THE LORD CHOSEN ONE I sincerely apologize for not taking your permission before contacting you while also asking you to pardon my poor English, as I am half educated. It is rather unfortunate that I am writing this mail to you in deep tears while lying on a hospital bed due to chronic cancer of the lungs waiting for the time to pass unto eternal glory. My ordeal is quite complicated but I will appreciate it if you give a little time to hear me out. First, I would like to start by introducing my self to you. I am Mrs. Rose Johnson from Cotonou, Republic of Benin in West Africa as stated above. I was born on the 7 th of April 1952 in a small village and grew up as a petty trader until I met my husband who was a Cocoa Trader. We got married and lived happily together but had no children. This never bothered us as we were good Christians and never blamed God for that. Three years ago, I lost my husband in a motor accident while going on his trade. His death was the beginning of my unfortunate ordeal. I had to undergo a lot of ritual procedures based on tradition by his family members to find out if I had a hand in his death. Part of the ritual was being forced to drink water from his dead body. It is a common thing that happens to African Women. This was not all as all properties belonging to him in my possession was taking away from me and was made an outcast. I lived alone for 3 years as a widow with serious agony while praying to the Lord to take charge. Unknown to his family members, my late husband had a total sum of $18, 000,000 USD (Eighteen Million United States Dollars) which was left secretly in a Bank. His lawyer who presently resides in the Nigeria Secretly revealed it to me. Since I have no close family to give it to as I am the only daughter of my parents who died long ago and do not intend to give it to the family of my late husband, I thought it would be good to find someone reliable who could use the money to help the poor and needy hence my contacting you. I will appreciate if you utilize the funds properly as instructed. Kindly get back to me as soon as possible so that I can provide you with contact information of the Lawyer in Nigeria who you will contact for further details to collect the funds. May God bless you as you take up this opportunity to help the poor and the needy. Regards, Mrs.Rose Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thing is it's so easy to spam email - if only 1 in 10,000,000 people falls for it, it's still a winner, as the cost of sending out 10,000,000 emails is negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
