I’m going to be rich

I got five copies of this over the weekend. It must be important if “Madam Cole” went to the trouble of sending it five times, right?

Here writes Madam Susan Cole, suffering from cancerous ailment. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten Million Pounds) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. 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 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 relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

I want you to stand as the new beneficiary to the funds. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the new 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.

Please send all emails to my confidential attorney Barrister Jerome Lewis emails below: when you reply me I will forward your message to him.

Yours sincerely, Madam Susan Cross-Cole.

I’m thrilled that of all the people with email accounts in this country, “Madam Cole” chose to donate £10,000,000 just to me. Soon, I’ll be able to afford a new website. And I can afford to be even fussier about what sort of clients I want to work for. I’ll take that holiday in Antarctica that I always wanted.

Maybe even start my own charity for all the stupid poor victims of email scam?

Oh, and I must remember to buy “Madam Cole” a really fancy coffin, when she finally carks it. It’s the least I can do.
