419 Scams: Donation to the "Ministry of GOD"
A rich man died and he instructed his legal adviser(s), Elizabeth & Deacon Clegg Stanma, to donate his money to the "ministry of GOD". These professional legal advisers decided that the "ministry of GOD" is a random email address which they picked from an unknown website. erm... !?

The scammers "sounded" like staunch Christians in their mail, but don't they know what is a "Christian Church"? Perhaps some "lost sheep" requiring special attention and guidance from the Police department instead of the Church.

The email address came from the domain, "Deacons.com", and is one of the domains offered by FanMail (free email provider). Anyone can sign-up and get a free email address. They also have several other domains offered for free emails.

Thanks for the submission.

Dear In Christ,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Based on this scripture, it became obvious that I should do the right thing if I must enter into the kingdom of God.

I am Deacon Clegg Stanma  the legal adviser to late Mr. Mike & Carol Hall, a God fearing and dedicated couple. They were very wealthy but had no child. They travelled to Patong-Thailand for Christmas holiday but met death on the 26th of December 2004 during the Tsunami disaster

(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm

As their legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr. Mike Hall instructed me to write his WILL, because they had no child, he dedicated their wealth to God. They had a lot of landed properties houses Stocks/bonds, etc. According to their instruction. According to the WILL, their assets should be given out to a ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents for the fund that are deposited with the Vault company are in my care.

As a born again Christian , I have been reading my bible and I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's work as instructed by the owners before there death. After my fasting and prayers Today, I asked God to make his choice and direct me to an honest Christian or the chosen ministry that deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the Internet.I appeal to you to use the fund wisely for things that will glorify the name of God. Also, could you get back to me having visiting the above website to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding.

I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence of this message is strictly for Charity. May God bless you as you make up your mind to work for God. Thanks.

Elizabeth & Deacon Clegg Stanma
