[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Joan Omoruyi <joan_omoruyi19@yahoo.co.uk> Subject:     Christ Love is Eternity Date:     Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:23:45 +0000 (GMT) (07:23 EDT) Dear Brother Pete Moss.   Hellow and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this letters finds you safe in Christ and I have prayed that God will use you as a vessel to meet the needs of His children here. My name is Joan Omoruyi and I am reaching you from Africa. Yesterday after school I sat for some minutes in our school staff office checking the Internet for online books by Bishop David Oyedipo, there I came across your email. I believe it is Gods order for this to happen. I am married with five children and me and my family fellowship in Native Way Christian Church, a small church with a great vision where Ervin Nosa is the pastor. I am through Gods mercies born again and serving the Lord faithfully pressing towards the mark. I am one of our church rural evangelists and through Gods grace I am able to go with the team once a week (Saturdays) to reach souls in neighboring villages. I have very great compassion for lost souls so the evangelical team is the better place I can serve in the church. My occupation: I am a teacher in a primary school and in my school we have a staff computer Internet where I am now able to reach you. I grew in the village and my parents were farmer but I had the opportunity to acquire western education but not too many people do in my place. The purpose for writing you is to appeal for your help for bibles. In the past six months we have visited Iguadolor village continually and many people have been won there for Christ particularly the old fathers and mothers. Old persons mostly inhabit the villages here because the young ones are drifting to the urban areas in order to enjoy amenities like electricity and pipe-borne water that are not available in the village. There are up to 20 persons in need of bibles but not all can read. There are four aged couples and five individuals who can read and asking for bibles. They have so much show concern that we are keeping them always in our prayers for provision of bibles for them. We need 16 giant print bibles for these loved ones who are now saved and eager to feed from Gods word. They cannot afford bibles because they are cost much in this place. Please help to supply bibles to these our brothers and sisters in need. The King James Version will be preferable used or !new. Please send the bibles through my address above. If you have any Christian literature one or two that is enriching to the spirit man please send me. I pray for you in Jesus name that the Lord will provide for you to help for the need and also bless you as you help. Bye for now and write soon. Your in Christ, Native Way Baptist Church No,95 Omoruyi Village Off friday quarter Benin city Edo State Nigeria   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary / commision, low-interest loan, lottery prize, cheap gold dust / diamonds, work visa, etc.) in return for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get you to willingly send them money.
