Scamming here too???

Question

Some of us have received the European Lotto letters in the mail with a nice check. Sure, deposit the check in your account, send the "Lotto" company their cut, and watch the check bounce from one wall to the next. Be forewarned, they are doing it here, too. I just received an IM from a poor lady from the UK saying her US clients won't send her payment unless she sets up a bank account in the US. (Wells Fargo or Bank of America). If you are nice enough (and stupid) to set up an account in your name for her "US" clients to deposit payment in, she will gladly give you 10% of the check. Just an FYI for all my "real" friends out there....

Answer 1

Speaking of the UK...

From: Mrs. Rebecca Johnson.

I am the above named person but now
undergoing medical treatment in London,England.
I am married to mrs. Rebecca. Johnson who worked with British Railway
Commission in Chelsea
England for nine years, before he died in the year 2000. We were both
married for eleven years without a child.

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we were both
Christian Converts and since his death I decided not to re-marry
outside my matrimonial home . When my late husband was alive he
deposited a Huge Sum of Money with a Vault company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Company.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Six
months due to my
cancer illness.Haven known my condition I decided to donate this fund
to church,Less privilege, or better still a Christian individual that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.

I want interested church or individual that will use this to fund help
churches, orphanages ,widows and propagating the Gospel
and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to
understand
that it is more Blessed to give than to receive.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money
and my husband relatives are fighting over the properties and I don't
want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by their greedy
attitude. 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 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, and
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I
don't want them to know about this development.I know With God all
things are possible. I will want You to Reply through this Address
ASAP.My Nurse Mr Douglas Graham Clark will also Assist me,due to my
Health.

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd. 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.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or
Christian
individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.

Remain
blessed in the name of the Lord.


Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Rebecca Johnson.
