Do you believe a real Senator would send me information about a money payment from a Yahoo Freemail account?

The crooks obviously spent some time creating Graphics, the and the official Mumbo Jumbo in the text. I am sure it will impress a lot of people.

These jokers are trying the “catch previous victims” ploy. I am sure there are enough of those to make this venture profitable.

That is, if the people believe what is written here.

Hello Dear,
As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now in Europe. I am Dr.James Richard,AN EXPARTRIATE ENGINEER who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) AND AN oil merchant / contractor with The Federal Government of Nigeria.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I seams to care about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations in the United State, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the Oman,Algeria and Malaysia and here in spain. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked my close assocaites and friends to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars Usd$18,000,000 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations as my next of kin and benefactor of this fund.I have also set aside 20% for you and for your time and effort.Please contact me via my email address jamesrichard6408@yahoo.co.jp if you are interested.

God be with you.
Dr.James Richard

James Richard, 419 scam, terminal illness

The story is somewhat confused as this message talks about contractors and next of kin. Could it be I am the next of kin to a contractor?
