It's been a while since I had a religious themed scamming message:
Subject: FOR HUMANITY

Dear Good friend.
I don,t really know who you are ,but peace be unto you as you read this letter. My Instinct tells me that I can trust you by my proposition.I got your contact through internet directory and My Instinct directed me to send this money to you.
I am a widow and a devoted christian, my name is MRS JEAN BROWN from UNITED KINGDOM. Since my husband died ,I have been suffering from arthritics and lately doctors have diagonised me with terminal cancer which left me with approximately twelve months to live.
I am currently on wheelchair and being looked after by a nurse and some of my late husband ,s relatives in turns.Before my husband died,he left some money to the tone of USD$4,800,000,00(Four million ,eight hundred thousand dollars)and he made me promised him that it should be used for humanitarian work,because we have no children and he does n,t want his brothers to lay hand on it,since they don’t believe in God, they have a different vision.
This money is currently in a vault with a finance company in EUROPE. If you will promise me that you will use this money to achieve the wish of my husband and me,then I will instruct the bank to release the content of the vault in your name. for us to discuss so that you can go and claim this money before i die.
May God bless you as you walk in the light and glory.
Thank you.
Yours in Vineyard
MRS JEAN BROWN
You know, I'd heard that educational standards in the UK had dropped, but I hadn't realised it'd got this bad. Not only can she not use the English language to save her life, but appears not to know that all she has to do is write her will leaving it all to the humanitarian cause of her choice. Sheesh.

I thought that spam was lots of fun, but the giveaway if you got that far was the claim, 'I'm on a wheelchair'.....
This was so entertaining!!! ON. like on the potty? I guess in Britain they calls it a 'pushchair'.
Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.
Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
