Ämne: Hello my dear

Hello my dear,

Please are you Nicola that I met in Sweden years ago? I am Mrs. Doris Martins and I am looking for a friend by this name, whom we meet in Sweden some years ago when I and my late husband came to your country because of my health problem.

Please I need your attention urgently.  I am still suffering for the same cancer sickness that brought me to your country. At the moment, I am undergoing medical treatment here in my country.

My husband died three years ago, we were married for 42 years without a child. Before his death he made a vow that we will use our wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society since we have no child. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home though those things are irrelevant to me in my health condition.

The reason why I am writing you this mail is painful and tragic. Few days ago, my Doctor confronted me and told me that I have a very short time to live because the cancer has destroyed all my body system together with the stroke that has completely paralyzed the left side of my body. He told me this for me to put myself together and arrange things before I die and I appreciate it so much, this is why I have taken this decision. I am not afraid of death. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. I wish that people will be able to think right and take good decisions no matter any condition or circumstances surrounding them.

Having known my condition I decided to do one more right thing. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten million six hundred thousand Euros (10,600,000) with a Finance Deposit Firm, this money is still with the Finance House. I have decided to donate this fund for the service of charity and humanitarian service through a capable God fearing individual or an organization that will utilize this money for the purpose of charity service.

I want this fund to be use in providing succor to poor who can not fend for themselves and indigent persons, orphanages, widows and offer scholarship for many poor children that will not have the opportunity to go to school because of money. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are shylock human beings that only care for themselves, not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want the family to know about this plan.

I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this. Everything regarding this will be through my lawyer.

Please if you are not the person I am looking for and you think that you are capable to deliver this service, do not hesitate to write me immediately for I have little time to stay in this life and I need to hand this fund over before my last day here. Bear in mind that you will be rewarded for your time and effort in offering this service of love to the poor.

You will find my current picture here in my hospital bed attached.

I await your correspondence to my private e-mail address mrsdoris_martins@teleoperadores.es

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Doris Martins.

I got the same message from mrsetters01@rogers.com too. I knew they were scammers but I contacted them and pretending that I didn't know who they were. I did not provide any information they asked me to provided. What should we do to stop this situation?

I got an email from this scammer too, it's below.

mrsetters01@rogers.com

Good day to you,

I am very grateful to you for the interest shown in my plight and I want to assure you that you that you will be greatly rewarded for what you have chosen to do. Although we know each other for the first time but I believe our father has directed me to you as I prayed and searched over the internet for assistance because I saw your profile on Microsoft EMAIL owners list and picked you.

Be assured you stand no risk as this is my money, I and my late husband labored for it and me as the next of kin has the sole power to donate the funds to who ever I want. I am a born again Christian and take delight only in the things of our father and I have prayed a lot on this already and I believe so much in the manifestation of Christ that I know he will not fail me and I want you to know that you have to be strong in your faith as he {almighty} will surely strengthen you. My husband’s relatives are not Christians and they have used my husband’s wealth and property left behind for worldly things. As I am here in the hospital they are around me and they have sold virtually all I have here in Solomon Island and my husband and I labored for and what they wait to hear is that I am dead so that they lay their hands on my last belongings here on earth, But that does not bother me because things of the earth are canal and there is an eternal home for me which there is enough enjoyment. I do not want them to know about this deposit that is why i am communicating with you only on email and I am making communication with the finance firm also who understands my predicament. All I need is your absolute trust, commitment, confidentiality and honesty because I want to see my late husbands vision fulfilled before I leave this sinful world. My spirit directed me to you as i prayed and searched over the internet for someone to help me since I can no longer trust my family members and friends and I do not want this particular deposit to be used for things of the world. I will want you to get back to me that you will be absolutely honest about this transaction and you will use this money to the Glory of God. Also you have to assure me you will keep this transaction confidential and you will be willing to contact the finance firm which is located in Canada and finalize all necessary formalities as to the release of the fund to you. I will also want to know a little more about you regarding your life, your spiritual life what you do for a living so as for me to know you will be able to complete this. At the moment I cannot write much because of my health and i do not know when my time will be up so I require your urgent response if you are trustworthy and willing to help me finalize this transactions that I will immediately write my chamber to prepare a court injunction/power of attorney making you beneficiary to my fund as all other documents are with the finance firm as I sent it to them for safe keeping so my family members will not lay their hands on it. To prepare this document i will require your full names and address. With this document you will contact the finance firm to arrange the transfer of the fund to you. As soon as you have received the fund then you will help me set up charity or distribute it to charity organizations and hospitals. God permitting I pray to be alive when you receive this fund and start this project so that you can visit me here if you wish to.

Elizabeth Etters.

I actually replied and offered them my name and address as she requested (the exact same letter) except her "name" was Barbara.

They can't do anything with just an address and my name can they?

You can look up anyones name and address in the white pages anyway. I figure she will send me the "form" in the mail and it will probably mention that I need to put my bank account information on it (which I won't)! Anyway, I didn't think it was real, but thought I'd play their little game anyway. Let me know what you think.

Jay: nah, names are ok most of the time, except when they start using it for other scams. That is why we always inform readers that all names and entity stated in scam mails are fake. Don't just walk away, but don't even try to remember the names because none of them are where they came from. It can be babara today, veronica tomorrow, and sarah next week. So who the hell cares.
