Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs Elizabeth A. Johnson from Bahrain, a widow to late Dr. A. Johnson. l am 51 years old and a coveted born again Christian, suffering from long time
cancer of the breast, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I might not live more than two (2) months, according to my doctor because the cancer has gotten to a very worst / dangerous stage.

My late husband and my only child died last five years ago, his death was politically motivated. My late husband was a very rich and wealthy business man who was running his Gold/Diamond Business here in South Africa. After his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than two (2) months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to
Contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. I collected your email address during my desperate search on the internet and I prayed over it.

I decided to donate the sum of $5,600,000.00 USD (Five Million Six hundred thousand United States dollars) to the less privileged because I cannot take this money to the grave. Please I want you to note that this fund is lodged in a bank here in South Africa.

Once I hear from you, I will forward to you all the information's you will use to get this fund released from the bank and to be transferred to your bank account. I honestly pray that this money when transferred to you will be used for the said purpose because l has come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family.

Let's take a look.  The from and reply-to addresses don't match.  As we read through this one, classic misuse of the English language; along with a play on religious good works.  Mrs. Elizabeth here isn't able to donate her money to charities, but she can pen an email asking me to do it for her.  Doesn't that seem rather suspicious?  And of course, she's located in...you guessed it, Africa.  These scams are big business there.  All it takes is a little common sense to avoid falling victim.  There's no ailing widow, no millions of dollars, and no charitable intentions here.  If it sounds too good to be true...
