Dear Beloved

It won't take you long to work out the story of this scam. "Mrs Johnson" is a) rich, b) widowed, c) childless, d) a Born Again Christian, e) dying of cancer and f) a scammer.

Yes. This is the old, old story. Same scam, just fill in the blanks to customise. Even the most brainless scammer can (and does) send out this scam.

"Mrs Johnson" is just a scammer - hoping to take money from you by charging you fees.

Dear Beloved in Christ,

I am Mrs.Sheila Johnson the wife of Mr Harold Johnson,my husband worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year
2001.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 were both born again Christians,Since his death I decided
not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$3.5M.(Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Asia.

Presently,this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me
as the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of this money or
rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf
if I cannot come over.

Presently,I'm in a hospital in Kenya 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 anywhere in the World.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 and collect the
Funds from the Bank,I want a person that is God fearing that 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 hence I know where I am going.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 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. With God all things are
possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my
attorney who is in Asia as he will be the one to assist you in laying
claims for this funds.

Kindly send your reply to my private email address which is as follows:

Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs.sheila Johnson.
