From: Madam Rita Osborne.
42 Dryden Street,
Leicester, L15,
England.
Here writes Madam Rita Osborne, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married
to Sir Williams an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice
all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for
three decades without child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My
husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged
individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to
physical disability or financial predicament.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million Pounds
(10,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from
his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently,
my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems I am suffering from.

I was taking by a similar scam also. I got a check that was real and it said "thank you for playing, you have won 1,500 dollars". deposit this check in your bank and have a good time. So I did. My surprise was when the check did clear. I was still afraid that this was a scam, so I kept the money and put in a dresser for safe keeping. My surprise was when my bank wrote me a letter saying that there was no such bank account and that the check I cashed was stolen. I immediately went to my bank and gave the money back. I had the bank send out fliers to all the other banks show this SCAM. I get the same emails in my box that say there is a loved one that died and they need my bank account # to deposit it in to my bank. NEVER _ NEVER_ give anyone your bank account number over the Internet or any other personal information that you would not give to a stranger on the street.

Yep, I've had one from Egg and Abbey National this weekend saying my accounts are about to be deactivated if I don't use them, last week it was NatWest telling me the same, I feel so sorry for those people who are unaware its a scam and will end up giving all there details away, the Internet is a wonderful tool in a lot of respects but for fraudsters its their passport to been rich and it should be stopped.

I believe this is the first scam I received last week quickly followed by a man who has a part time job for someone to cash checks for him, the Honda Lottery scan, The UK Lottery scam and several others. I mess around with the senders is I can - it aggrevates them to the point of being rude. I also got a check (and it looks exactly like a check with water marks etc) in the mail for me to deposit to cover any expenses required by my bank to accept my 570,000 winnings. It would be nice if true . . .

It is a scam...
You can print the email--do NOT respond.
Take it to your bank, they will deal with it from there.
