Hello Dear,

We bring greetings to you in the name of the lord. This message is sent to you as a notification that you have been chosen to benefit from our charity project aimed at touching lives and helping those that we can across the world as God has blessed us.

Another one trying to cash in on the religious angle.  We've seen this countless times before, right?

I won the Powerball Jackpot of $343.8Million on October 27, 2018 and I have voluntarily decided to donate the sum of $10M to charity, I try to reach people randomly from different sources and modes so as to touch lives from different angles, Hence you are getting a message here.

Yes, there was a Powerball win at that time.  No, this email is NOT from the winner, and I haven't been selected to receive a huge sum of cash.  There will be some kind of "fee" required for me to get my grant (or whatever you want to call it).

You have been listed as one of the lucky recipients to receive $1Million This donation is made out to you so to enable you strengthen your personal issues and mostly to generously help us extend hands of giving to the less privileged, orphans and charity organizations within your locality.

"Strengthen your personal issues?"  Honey, please.  My issues do NOT need to be strengthened.  

To verify www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/nyregion/powerball-winner-harlem.html

Get back to me on how to receive the donation

Thanks

Robert Bailey

There's no money, and this email isn't from the Powerball winner.  Just a feeble attempt to steal money from unsuspecting recipients.  If it sounds too good to be true...
