[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     sarag wengas <wengasarah01@gmail.com> Subject:     Hello Dear Date:     Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:15:50 +0000 (19:15 EDT) Hello Dear From Mrs. Sarah Wenga and Son Johnson Dearest in christ Jesus,   My name is Mrs. Sarah Wenga a nationality of Kuwait. I am married to late Mr. James Wenga  who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine  years before he died in the year Octorber 2006. We were married for twenty years with a child. He died after an illness that lasted for four  days.    Before his death we were both born again Christians.When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of  (three.two Million U.S.Dollars)3.2million$US with one of good banks here in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently my Doctor told me that I might not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem,Though  what disturbs me most is my stroke.  Having known my condition of health, I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want a person or church that will use this fund to churches,orphanages, research centres and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.   The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit this money but my son can not  carryout this work alone because i and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our son to have a better live.our son is just 18 years old now and been grown up in africa, he have low mantality and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my family hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers,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 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 will like you to understand that my contact to you is a divine direction from God , I don't  want any of my husband family relatives to recieve this money but I know that  With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact  of the Finance/bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the  church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live 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 here and Please I will like you to contact me Immediately you receive this mail so that I will explain more and instruct the Bank! to transfer this fund into your account for me, and my Son to start coming over there because since two days now we are having a very big problem in Abidjan here the REBELS Went into the military camp and killed so many military so we need this transaction very urgent.  Please respond with your adress,telephone and fax numbers for onward and future communication.Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.   Remain blessed in Jesus name, Amen. Mrs.Sarah Wenga and Son Johnson   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam! The scammers never 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.
