I just got this in my email, and it must be legitimate, because it is not from some so called Nigerian Prince or anything. I didn't even know my friends from across the pond were that generous. I can't wait to get all my new camera gear, and drive it around in the trunk of my new Ferrari. How could I be so lucky (I think that after the word Dear in the opening, the word 'Idiot' should be included. I am not greedy, does anybody want to split this with me and we could both be multimillionaires. Just attach the necessary ID and we will be well underway to the greatest future ever. :-)


From: Mrs. EVANS PAUL MARK TERRY.
26 Kensington Court,
London, W8 5DL,
England.


Dear ,


I am Mrs. EVANS PAUL TERRY, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Sir Jim paul 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 2015 at about 2: 00 AM. 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 20 Million (20. Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an United Bank of Africa Benne Republic know as ( U B A ). 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 10days 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.


BELLOW IS THE INFORMATION NEEDED FROM YOU.

It's just a very slight variation on the SCAM that has been going around for years now. Always a widow, always suffering an incurable illness etc. It's difficult to believe that some people actually fall for these SCAMS and then wonder why they lose money.

"any fruit of the womb" - I could send her some underwear, if I could trust that she really meant "Fruit of the Loom"...but Hanes might be her preferred brand! With only 10 days to live, I don't think they'll get there in time! Frustrating dilemma.

The first clue for me was the fact that British Railways became defunct years ago when the railways were privatised. And the atrocious grammar and tone of the email.
