How do I handle this money??? :lol:

I received this correspondence in my Spam mail...I opened it since there were no attachments...

"From: Mrs. --------

---Kensington Court,

London, W8 5DL,

England.


I am Mrs. ------, an English woman who is undergoing medical treatment in The Portland Hospital for Women and Children, 205-209 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5AH England. I am married to Sir Jim ----- who also is an
Englishman though dead now. My husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before the cold hand of death took him away on the 23rd of July 2003 at about 2:00AM.

Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any
fruit of the womb. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the United Kingdom, Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the
globe 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 10 Million (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK.

Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150 days 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 a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a non governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will use this
gift which comes from my husbands sweat 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 things are possible.

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 original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or a non
religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an
individual for this same purpose. 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. Send yur reply to my private email: -------@yahoo.co.uk

Maybe we can rent out Red Rocks and have a special concert stop on the Third Leg of the tour for all of us that got screwed.

$10 Million should be enough to rent the facility, pay U2 their concert fee and for airfare/hotels for all the Interferencers.
 
Now, what is THAT about?! I've received similar eMails at my workplace and it always boggles the mind how people can be so devious. What is their scheme? What will they do with the info you provide them of yourself? :eyebrow:

They're a bunch of pirates if you ask me! :madspit:

Foreign Contractor who worked with
a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the 21st of
April 1999, my client, his wife And
their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist me in repartrating the
money left behind by my client before they get
confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Bank
where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$15 million dollars has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next twenthy official working
days. since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $15
million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I
can share this money. 70% to me and 25% to you,while
5%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may
require,I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any claim we may make.All I require
is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me via
