I received this e-mail today.



Hello,



My name is Mrs. Elena Tan. I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allowing my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and i believe he has because He is a merciful God.

I will be going in for an operation, and i pray that i survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $10,500,000.00.(Ten million five hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and i have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because i deserve all the rest i can get.Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.

Sir/Madam,

It is my humble pleasure to write you this important letter, irrespective of the fact that we have not meet for the first time or known other before. However Iam searching for a reliable and trust worthy person, firm, or group of persons that can assist me to invest wisely in your country. I am MR.JOHN MOMOH JNR, from Sierra Leone, son of the LATE HONR SWARANDEN MOMOH, the former Minister of gold and diamond. In the past years my country has been involved in a very horrible and bloody war in which so many lives and properties were destroyed and many atrocities were committed against humanity.

He was accused of embezzlement of fund from the co-operation and funding ethnic Mining forces, however, the truth and evidence for the untold matter that saw his death was as a sacrifice for restoration of peace in our country.Before his death he disclose to me an existence of USD$10.6m,& 100 Kilos alluvial Gold dust and 150 carat Nucal diamond in boxes sealed together, which he kept in underground vault of our villa in free-town, after the war, I hurried to the villa as

I am lucky to survive with my junior sisters, as my parents elder brothers and a senior sister were killed in the war, I still found the boxes intact and decided to move it out of my country immediately with different identity, withholding the trust of the real content for security reasons, even the security house is not aware of the real content inside the boxes till now. We are presently in Exile with my younger sisters as we survive the war, although the war has ended, but I considered it unsafe to go back to our country since we have lost our parents brothers and sister and properties confiscated by sierra Leone government and our present condition of suffering here is unbearable. Iam not exposed to the outside world and have no knowledge in business for investment, for this reason.

Please do not attempt to respond to these email requests, they are tantamount to attempting to obtain property by deception and whilst most of us are capable of spotting a 'scam' from the outset, there are those who might be gullible? enough to embroil themselves.

Check out any such potential scams on Hoaxslayer.com, it could save you a lot of grief and money.
