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 your email id from your country guestbook. I am MRS MARY
LOUIS from Switzerland, I am 58 years old, I am suffering from a long
time cancer of the lungs 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
baby’s home and married to my late husband for twenty one years without
a child, my husband died in a fatal motor accident.
Before his
death we were true believers and born again Christian. Since his death
I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and
deposited all the sum of 6.5million dollars with a finance firm here in
Cote d’Ivoire where my late husband worked last with Switzerland
embassy before his death.
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 hospitalizing 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 fund is invested in theses
organizations, charity organization, the poor and the motherless
babies’ home, widow.
I want you as God fearing person, to
also use this money to fund church, mosque, 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 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. Hoping to
hear from you soon. NAME:

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
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,
bargain 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
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
