Dear friend

Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not
sound strange to you for
my only surviving lawyer who would have done
this died early this
year.i prayed and got you email id from your
countrys guestbook which i have
been with my late huband and liked to visit once
more if God will in
his infinite mercies.

I am Mrs. Serah James from
Amsterdam-Netherlands,I am 58 years old,i am
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast
which also affected my
brain,from all indication my conditions is
really deteriorating and it is
quite obvious that, according to my doctors they
have advised me that
i may not live for the next two months,this is
because the cancer stage
has gotten to a very bad stage.

I was brought up from a motherless babies home
was married to my late
husband for twenty years without a child ,my
husband died in a fatal
motor accident Before his death we were true
beleivers.Since his death I
decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited
belongings and
deposited all the sum of 10million dollars with
a First Inland Bank.

Presently, this money is still with them and the
management just wrote
me as the true owner to come forward to receive
the money for keeping
it so long or rather issue a letter of
authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf since I can not come
over because of my illness or
they get it confisticated.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital here
in London where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer of the
lungs.my doctors have told
me that I have only a few months to live.It is
my last wish to see
that this money is invested to any organisation
of your choice and
distributed each year among the charity
organization,the poor and the
motherless babies home.

I want you as God fearing person, to also use
this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows,I took this
decision, before i rest in peace
because my time will so on be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the contact of the
First Inland Bank.I will also issue you a letter
of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund.
Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Please reply me through this my private email
address:

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Waiting for your reply

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Serah James

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in this e-mail have absolutely no connection with this scam!

None of the scammers use their real names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.
Whatever these scammers tell you, DON'T believe a word of it!!!

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters.

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.
