This crazy story has been used for several years now. Like the others, it just gets adapted to fit what the crooks need. It’s unusual due to the fact, that they claim this e-mail originates from Sao Tomé.

Dear Partner,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.

This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character.

I will introduce myself as Mrs. Rachael Morgan.Kazeem Barker. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries “OPEC”. He has worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the year 2003, as a result of one of our son’s brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my culture is against.

However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband’s relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have nowhere to go to, so I decided to go back to my motherland to stay with my family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get myself organized and carter for my children.

Before my husband died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the secretary of OPEC with a finance house in oversea. We have interest in Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture etc.Please, I hereby request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it.

Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house in oversea. I don’t want my husband’s relatives to know about this development.

Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.

In a short time, I will arrange a meeting with you and my eldest son who will accompany you to the finance house office where the investment fund is deposited by his late father for easy claim and quick transfer.

My Eldest son will be assisting me to facilitate this transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds claimed and transfer into your account.

I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. Also, I will forward to you my personal information for recognition and trust before you proceed contact with the Finance house.

Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction. 

You are to contact me via this private email addresses only for security rmorgan01@rediffmail.com,rmorgan@live.com

Yours in Sincerely,
Mrs. Rachael M. K.Barker.

My French is not that good, but even I can see this was translated with some sort of online translator. It’s enough to see what this is about, but does not instill very much trust in the senders.

Cher,
Je suis Mme dimingos de bonita, de verd de cap. Je suis marié à défunt M. brams adam, pour qui a travaillé avec l’ambassade de verd de cap en Côte d’Ivoire vingt-six ans avant qu’il est mort en l’année 2005, après une brève maladie qui a duré pendant seulement cinq jours. Nous étions mariés pendant dix-huit années avec un duaghter (Tonia) qui plus tard est mort dans un accident de moteur.
Avant la mort prématurée de mon mari, nous étions tous deux encore nés chrétiens. Puisqu’après sa mort j’ai décidé de pas remarry ou ne pas obtenir un enfant en dehors de mon matrimonial maison contre laquelle la bible est. Quand mon défunt mari était vivant il a déposé la somme de (US$5.5M) (cinq Million de cinq cents mille dollars d’Etats-Unis) à une société de valeurs mobilières ici en Côte d’Ivoire d’Abidjan.

Récemment, suivant ma santé mauvaise, mon docteur m’a dit que je ne peux pas durer les huit mois suivants dus à mon problème de cancer. Celui qui me dérange est plus ma maladie de course. Après avoir su mon état j’ai décidé pour donner ces fonds à une organisation de Christain (Église) qui utilisera cet argent la manière que je suis allant instruire ci-dessus, selon le désir de mon défunt mari avant sa mort.

Je veux ces fonds pour être employé dans des activités de Christain comme, des écoles d’orphelinats, de Christain, et des églises pour propager le mot de Dieu et pour essayer que la maison de Dieu est maintenue. 

La bible nous a incités pour comprendre que « béni est remettre ce giveth “. J’ai pris cette décision parce qu’I n’avoir aucun enfant qui héritera de cet argent et mes parents de mari ne sont pas des chrétiens et je ne fais pas vouloir les efforts de mon mari d’être employé par des incroyants. Je ne veux pas une situation où cet argent sera employé d’une manière ungodly. C’est pourquoi je prends ceci décision.

Je n’ai pas peur de la mort par conséquent que je sais où je suis aller. Je sais que je vais être dans la poitrine de le seigneur. L’exode 14 CONTRE 14 indique que « le seigneur défendre ma  cause et je tiendrai ma paix “. Je n’ai besoin d’aucune communication de téléphone à cet égard en raison de ma santé par conséquent la présence des parents de mon mari autour de moi toujours. Je ne veux pas qu’ils sachent ce développement. Avec Dieu toutes les choses sont possibles.
Dès que je recevrai votre réponse je te donnerai le contact de la société de valeurs mobilières à Abidjan. Je  vous instruire également sur la façon dont vous entrez en contact avec la sécurité compagnie pour le retreival de la boîte de tronc cela contient l’argent. Je veux toi et l’église à prier toujours pour moi parce que le seigneur est mon shephard. Mon bonheur est que j’ai vécu une vie d’un digne Chrétien. Celui qui qui veut servir le seigneur doit le servir dans l’esprit et la vérité.  Veuillez être toujours pieux tout par votre vie. Me contacter sur cet email address :
(bonital_2000@yahoo.fr) n’importe quel retard dans votre réponse
me donner la pièce dans l’approvisonnement une église ou un homme différente de Dieu, dans ce même but.
Considérer Mme Bonita

A few days ago I got a Message from Sam Odogwu using the exact same message as this one which came today.

Seeing they both call themselves Sam, I think it’s pretty likely that they are one and the same person.

I imagine most Bible readers will know what is written in Malachi 3:10. But if you don’t, here’s a modern translation for you:

GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995)
“Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way,” says the LORD of Armies. “See if I won’t open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings.

So basically, what Sam is saying is, he has a pile of cash and wants to invest (or should I say donate?) it in my ministry or church.

The Christian scam has been often the downfall of true Christians, who believed that they could use the promised money to do good for the community. All of them ended up with losing a lot of money, which was usually community or member’s money.

A couple of them ended up in jail for embezzlement as a result.

Ok, this is the regurgitated “I’ve got cancer and a pile of money for Charity” e-mail. There is no way you can dispute that. You can check on other versions with the above link.

Personally, I think Nita is either Joker or not very intelligent or maybe both. I say this because, seriously, do you know anyone called Black-Brown?

To: nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com

Warm Greetings,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, we have to worship our Lord Jesus christ with all our heart because we have determined to remain under the covering of His anointing, Obedience to His purpose and living a life that honours Him will keep us under His hand of blessing.

I am Mrs Nita Blackbrown markson from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Black brown who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian.

Since his death I decided not to remarry 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$10.7million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.

Recently when l went to Medical check , my Doctor told told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Now l am back where my late Husband deposited the money and will go back for surgical operation immediately the money is transfered to your account as l will direct you on how to Donate the money

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this 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 health hence the 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 the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire.

I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church / Organisation or individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. my private email address is ( nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com)

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ.

Mrs Nita Blackbrown.

Do you believe that the UEFA would give away 200 million, just like that. Even with 20 or so “Sponsors”, they wouldn’t do it without the world media knowing. I haven’t noticed anything like this in the press, have you?

I expect that, coming up to the start of the European Championships next year, we will see a whole lot more of this kind of scam or fraud e-mail.
