The story used here is a variation of a story which crops up quite regularly. It’s a “I’m sick with cancer and have a pile of money to give away”. Not forgetting,  “I am religious too”.

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

Hello

Please use this money for the churches and less privileged in the world. God bless you as you read. I am Mrs., Siva Bala, from Netherlands a widow to late Dalis Bala, I am 61 years old, I am a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I wouldn’t live more than three months, according to my doctors, and in all indication regards to medical analysis, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage that no hope for me to be a living person again.
My late husband was killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.

The doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in America, Middle East, Asia and Europe especially create solution to problem of less privileged ones and orphanage homes.

I selected you after visiting the website I prayed and fast for few days over it, I am willing to donate the sum of ($6,000.000.00 us dollars), six million united states dollars to the less privileged.

Please I want you to note that fund is laying in a finance company in London, and upon my instruction, I will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose even though I am late then, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without God is vanity and I made the promise to God that the fund will be use to build his temple. May the grace of our lord the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family I await urgent reply. God blesses you.

Mrs. Siva Bala
