MY DEAR BELOVED,

Please read this slowly and carefully, as it may be one of the most important emails you ever get. I am Mrs.Lin Campolin from Greece. I was married to Late Randi Campolin.The CEO Veekrol Link Ltd London United Kingdom, a seasoned contractor in England. He died on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in Paris.

We were married for eleven years without a child.After his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of £5.3Million GBP in a bank in England,which is now wasting there. My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to better the lives of the less privileged. I need honest and trust worthy individual that will utilize this money in accordance with my instruction.

I want the funds to be used in funding religious organisations,orphanages and less privileged propagating the word of God. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit thismoney and my husband relatives are very unkind to me and I don’t want my husbands hard earned money to be misused. I am not afraid of death hence I know here 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 course and I shall hold my peace. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank, for them to process the and transfer the funds to you.

For legitimacy, you will be issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me, Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose. Waiting to hear from you.

Thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Lin Campolin

This is a further variation of “I have cancer and a pile of cash to give away” kind. It has been adapted to look as though it is from someone from the UK. The “British Rail” quote is quite funny though.

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London,England. I am married to Dr. Richard Cox who worked with British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of £18 Million (Eighteen Million US Dollars) with one Finance House .
Presently, this money is still with the Finance House.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150 days due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke which has impeded my speech.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons,orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universal. I understand 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 not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify.

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 in the bossom of the Almighty. I do not need any elephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. 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 Finance House . I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me.

My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an ndividual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to specification confidentiality and mutual trust entails by this business.Some personal questions?Are you married?How old are you?Your Phone Number/Fax? What kind of work / business do you do?Note: please contact me through this e-mail address or i will not see your reply because i don’t normaly check this box ok.

Subject: ASSALLAMUALAIKUM,MY DEAR PLEASE USE THIS FUND FOR THE WORK OF ALLAH AND FOR THE LESS PRIVILEDGED ONE
To:

ismillāhi-r-Rahmāni-r-Rahīm,

Al-Hamdulillāhi Was-Salātu Was-Salāmu ‘Alā Rasūlillāh,Wa Ba’d,

As-Salāmu ‘Alaikum Wa Rahmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh,

Wasalaam to you,and how are you doing?. My intention of contacting you is to solicit your assistance for a project, which will be mutually beneficial. Though I know my decision to contact you is to a large extent unconventional, the prevailing circumstances necessitated my action. I am Hajia Jamila Bello from Indonesia. I am married to Late Mallam Mustafa Bello of Dakar Senegal and am currently living in a hospital in Senegal, My late hushand of the blessed memory was an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he died in the year 2000.

We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Muslims. Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he made a huge deposit, in millions of US dollars with a Deposit Company here in Dakar Senegal. (I will tell you the amount as we proceed). Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Muslim organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund orphanages, widows,less priviledged and also propagating their religion and to ensure that the society upholds the views and belief of their religion.As a Muslim, i laid emphasis so much on the ALLAH’S benevolence and this has encourage me to take the bold step. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are into some radical Organizations which I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an Unholy manner.

Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most benefficient and the most merciful. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health conditions and the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With ALLAH all things are possible(second Sura,( verse 257) which says: “There must be no coercion in matters of faith”).As soon as I receive your reply on Email: Jamila_bello02@yahoo.com
I shall give you the contact information of the Deposit Company in Dakar Senegal where the money was deposited. I will also issue a letter of authority to the Deposit Company authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslim life worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness. I will not stipulate any precise amount to reward you, as it will have to be on pre-negotiated terms based on your level of involvement. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for another organization or a devoted Individual for this same purpose. Until I hear from you by email, my dreams will rest squarely on your Shoulders.

“And I (Allah) did not create jinns and humans except that they worship Me(alone)”

Qu’ran 51:56

May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Allah Hafiz.

Hajia Jamila Bello.
