Thank you for your page on scams

Yesterday, May 27, 2002,
I received a letter similar  to the kuwait scam.
It is obvious that these people are targeting churches.
I could not find reference to this scam in other
hoax sites.

At the end of this message you will find the text of the email scam
as I received it:

Thank you for your help in comfirming my suspicion that this
is a scam using the name of the Lord in vain.

In Christ.

My Lordship,

   Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
   Christ, I am Mrs Evelyn Mambuma, a widow to Late Sheik Mohammed
Mumbuma, I am 72years old, I
   am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of
the breast. From all
   indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite
obvious that I may not live
   more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very
severe stage. 

   My late husband was killed during the Liberia war, and during the
period of our marriage we
   had a son who was also  killed in a cold blood during the Liberia
war. My late husband was
   very wealthy and after his death, Iinherited all his business and
wealth. My personal
   physician told me that I may not live for more than six months and I
am so scared about
   this. So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by
contributing to the development of
   evangelism in Africa, America, Europe and Asian Countries. This
mission which will no doubt
   be tasking had made me to recently relocated to
   Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. I selected
   your church after visiting the website for this
   purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of
$10.000,000.00 Million US
   Dollars to your Church/Ministry for the development of evangelism and
also as aids for the
   less privileged around you. 

   Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security
   Company in Switzerland and the company has branches,
   therefore my lawyer will file an immediate application for the
transfer of the money in the
   name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the
intention of using this fund
   for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism.

   Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards my
entire life and my
   health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth
lately that wealth
   acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon
vanity.  If you have to die
   says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.

   May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of
   God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be
   with you. I await your urgent reply. 

   Yours in Christ,
   Mrs Evelyn Mambuma
   4A George Close
   Zaria, Nigeria.
