Dearly Beloved in Christ,

Here writes Madam Margaret Clark, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Engineer Gilbert Clark 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. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 4.4 Million (four million Four Hundred Thousand USD)which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in London.

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. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer.

With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not 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 with the Almighty when I eventually pass on.

The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me.I do not
want them to know about this development. With God all thing sare possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of
your family.

Yours sincerely,
Madam Margaret Clark

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.

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!

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.

NOTE TO SPAMMERS: My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good but it isn't perfect. Occasionally a regular spam e-mail may get mistakenly published here as a 419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish to have your spam crap mistakenly published on this website as an advance fee scam, the solution is simple. Don't send me your spam crap.
