Dear Beloved

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the
truth;I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God
for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies
and
glory upon my life.

I am Mrs. Rita Gilbert,the wife of Mr.Sam Gilbert,both of us, are
citizens
of the united state of America. my husband worked with the
Chevron/Texaco
in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003.We were
married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got
born-again as dedicated
Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against. When
my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds
(Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.

Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just
wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as
the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds
will
be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody
to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account)
as I
can
not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have been
undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability
to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to
live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations
and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race.

Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to
help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the
Bank.

I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund
churches,orphanages 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 don't
have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are
not
Christians
and I
don't want my husband's 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 since I know where I am going to.I know that I am going to be in
the
bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14:says that the Lord will fight my
case
and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in
this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's
relatives around me always. I don't want them to know
about this development.

I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.

Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to
conclude this, reach me on my private mail:[e-mail]
Remain Blessed

Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs.Rita Gilbert

1. There is a subclass of netizen out there that baits these idiots

They play them along and try to see how much guff they will take before bailing on the scam. There have been some interesting examples of it out there.

7. Some guy actually got some money out of one of them

It was around $1.00 if I remember correctly, but still it was a moral victory.

Hours of enjoyable fun reading how the scammers get scammed.

2. Almost Same Letter

Damn, I just got this one today, almost the same location, same illness, why is everyone getting 'esophicogal' cancer??!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:
Dear Friend,



How have you been doing? I know life would be treating you well with it's uttermost care. If I was in the same state of health like you are, I would be the happiest. This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so I decided to contact you through this medium .



During the process of reading this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Zoe Pennoey, a merchant in Dubai , in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and oesophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.



I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all these as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe if I have a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.



Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed funds to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland . Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the funds, which I have there to charity organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan , they refused and kept the funds to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. I would rather pick someone like you who, I feel I would definitely feel OK in putting funds in your care.



The last of my funds which is the huge cash deposit of Eight Million Two Hundred thousand United States Dollars that I have with a Financial institution Abroad. I would want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I, Zoe Pennoey that is making this generous donation.



I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I presently receive remedial treatments. I just hope that, Faith uses you to support and assist me with good heart. For your support and care, you can have 20% of the total funds with the Financial Firm.



NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And also, I would be contacting with you by email as I don’t want anybody to know because they are always around me. Do endeavour to send your PHONE as well as your FAX for easy communication. I sent you this email from my computer and the hospital staff are always around me. I do not no if they have gotten the password to my email. I do not want them to interfere in this and would to trust just YOU. For that, I have another email which is kept absolutely confidential by me. It is below. You are to reply to it if you want to really help me out of this. I will be the happiest if you do.

Your Beloved One,

Zoe Pennoey

3. Are you implying that this is a hoax??? Shit!!!!

[Cleita]

8. Hehe, I got several similar emails sans the Jesus angle from Nigeria.

It's a scam. Mine came from a so-called solicitor claiming he didn't know what to do with this money he was sitting on because I was the only relative he could find. Oh dear! I recently got an urgent notice as well about $1,200,000.00 in winnings that they are trying to reach me about from Florida. These scams are as old as the Romans. Once you bite, they ask you for money to do the paper work etc. Blow it off.

10. Uhhhh...That's why rich people have lawyers. If this were real, she'd have sent her lawyers to

activate the account.
Or, since she is a major depsoitor in the bank, the bank would have sent their solicitor to her in Russia to have her sign the documents.
If she had the ability to type the letter, she'd have had the ability to get the account re-activated.

This attempt is sooooo f**king lame on so many levels, it's appaling.
