I had to start this thread again as some make for great reading, if you are into fiction of course!

Subject: SAD NEWS!
I hope this email finds you well!
I could not inform everyone about my trip to Odessa, Ukraine for a program because it was impromptu. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour I was mugged at gun point and all my valuables were stolen, (cash, bank cards and mobile phone, where I went for sightseeing before leaving to the airport since my return flight is in few hours, quite honestly it was beyond a dreadful experience for me but looking on the bright side I wasn't seriously hurt or injured, I am still alive so that is what's important and luckily I had my passport in my hotel room to get me home.
I need your help financially to get back home, I need to settle some outstanding hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport. I am really sorry i am asking this of you, believe me I don't want to ask I would rather take care of it my self but I cant, I have contacted my bank, but the best they can do is to mail a new card which will take 2 to 3 days to get here. All I need right now is £1750, If you can help that would be great and I promise to make the refund once I get back home.
Please let me know if I can count on you and I need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way I can reach me.
Thanks,
Deirdre Lewis

Dearest God
I am from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Richead Hamson, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death, both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($ 2.5 million) in the bank here in Abidjan suspense account.
Currently, the fund is still in the bank. Recently, my doctor told me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. What disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Knowing my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or those who utilize this money the way I would recommend here. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, to promote the word of God and the effort that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible is for us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. That's why I'm taking this decision. I'm not afraid of death, so I know where I'm going. I know that I'm going to be in the bosom of man. Exodus 14 vs 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I hold my peace.
I do not need a telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always and I do not want them to know about this development. In God all things are possible. As soon as I get an answer I will give you contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy Christian. Whoever wants to serve the lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. Always praying for their whole lives.
Reply me for more information's, in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or person for the same purpose. Let me assure you that they will act accordingly as specified. Hope to get an answer.
Send me the following information, as per below.
Your full name ..........
Address ...........
Age ...............
The occupation ........
Photo ...............
Still blessed in you.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Ruth Hamson. |

Whacko the did eh!
Is he/she/it one of them types that wears an old tea towel on their bonce? Must be for wiping the slate clean once they have fleeced you of all your hard earned.
As far as that God bloke goes. Once I can shake his hand and say thanks for stopping all the death and destruction in the world I'm not sure that I would trust him/her to be looking after all my worldly possessions.
Al, you must be the chosen trusted one and aren't you a lucky boy.

This is mine:
Dear (insert name),
I am a 419 scammer based in Nigeria.
I am not an elderly sick or in trouble man or woman.
I want your money for nothing, in return you get exactly that, nothing.
Because I am active enough to work a computer but too lazy to get a real job I thought I'd take a shot at relieving you of yours.
I assume you are stupid enough to think there is such a thing as free money.
Please send me your bank details which I will plunder until it's empty then hit you for more.
Yours in the name of Buddha, Christ, Islam, the Rabbi or whatever because I'm lying.
Mr or Mrs Deidre Jacobssen-Mohammed Made Up
Wherever I am currently living (insert a country here ideally with recent trouble, let's say Ukraine today)
Oh yes please send those bank details again. |

Jesus you blokes . It's not all doom and gloom .
Have a little faith . There are people out there who need our help.
I myself was contacted by a lovely woman from Sudan , whose father has been very ill for the last year and is now close to dieing . Now before you jump to conclusions , she did not ask me for huge amounts of money . All she needed was $2,400.00 to engage a solicitor so that she could transfer her fathers estate to my name and safely keep it out of the hands of the regime when her father passes. .
I am pleased to report that she has received my cheque and has been advised by her legal team that the transfer should be completed by the end of April . She has been quite generous and I had no problems sending her an additional $1,000.00 to assist with the transfer fees and additional medication for her 12 childrens leprosy treatment .
So you see , it does not pay to pre - judge , sometimes these letters are genuine .
I have to go now , I have to pop down to the bank , because the nice Gypsy man is here to paint my roof and make me a lovely bitumen driveway .
Cheers for now..
