<< <i>Dear Good Friend.

I am Mrs Juli Sohal from Solomon Islands near
Australia. I am married to Mr.Patrick Sohal from
Kuwait who worked with Kuwait Embassy in cotonuo for
nine years before he died in the year 2002. We were
married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
($60 Million)sixty million us dollars realised from
family inheritance and a little portion oil field sold
to a foreigner in Kuwait,deposited with a security
company here in Cotonou in two luggages as family
valuables for security reasons.
Presently the two luggages has been moved to Holland
via a diplomatic Carriers content unknown to the
Diplomat except my late husband's international
Consultant who knew about investing in Holland before
the death of my late husband.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church,organization or good person that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.

I want a church,organization or good person that will
use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the
word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is
maintained. The Bible made us to understand that"Blessed is the
hand that giveth".ltook this decision because I don't
have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not Christians not even good at
all because they are the one that killed my husband in
other to have all my late husband properties and I
don't want my husband's efforts to be used by
unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money
will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS
14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".
I don't need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health hence the presence of my
husband's relatives are around me always.I don't want
them to know about this development. With God all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the International Consultant in Holland,also made you available the air waybill document an authority letter that will qualfy you as the beneficiary of these two luggages(Money) deposited
as Family valuables. I want you and the church or the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on the this email address and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church,organization or good person for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein. Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.

l remain yours sister in Christ.

AkbarClone

Yes--I have received hundreds of them for the last 4 years or so. Sometimes I would 2 or more on the same day. I'm a billionaire many times over!

CON40

OK, you outed me!

I have to confess... I am the one who sends those emails... much of my fortune is tied up in banks controlled by third world warlords... the American patsy money laundering machine is the only way I can get my money to put food on my table! Okay, so I like to eat caviar by the bucket and wash it down with Dom... I'm sure I've made many American patsies rich over the years! Well, at least they've made me rich! LOL!

Do a search on google for "Nigerian Bank Hoax" you'll find a lot of details. These originated in Nigeria back in the day. It used to be they came as letters starting in the '70's. Now, technology has allowed them to evolve into email. They usually something to the effect of "My name is so-and-so, I live in [insert country] I worked with so-and-so and you can claim to be his next of kin to collect $Xmillion dollars. We'll split it. "

What ends up happening is they ask for money to file the neccessary paperwork on your behalf, (because they are such nice people) What you find out is that after about 15-20,000 you won't ever get any money and you have just been scammed. Believe it or not, a LOT of people have fallen for this one. Some have reportedly even gone over there, either to "get thier money back" or to see the operation, they end up being kidnapped and held for more ransom, or they are killed.

At any rate, don't respond, just delete it.

HA HA! Check this out, I just got this in my Yahoo account! How funny is that? Here is another version...


Legal Practioniers, Solicitors,
Patent & Trademark Agents.

Attn: Josh,

I am Mr.Jones Ola, a solicitor at law and a Senior Advocate Of Nigeria.
I am the personal attorney to Mr.Mack Josh, a national of your country,
who used to work with Shell Company in Nigeria.

Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April
2000, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car
accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last
name over the Internet,to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued
at US$17million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge amount were
deposited. The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confisicated within the next fourteen official working days.
For the fact that I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over 3 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of
kin to the deceased, since you have the same last name with my client, so
that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss
the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary
information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I
require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see his
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please
kindly get in touch with me through alternative email preferably for more
details. I hope to having the most rewarding relatinoship with you in
future.

Hope to hear from you soonest indicating your telephone and fax number
for conceiving the documents including your postal address.

Thanks for the time Best regards and God bless,

It must have been my relatives that ran into your relatives in Nigeria because I had the same letter about the same road. I think that with all the millionaire deaths on that road I would stay off it. Looks like nobody ever survives an accident on that road. LOL.

I've gotten these daily for years. At one point 60 minutes did a thing on them, it was so prevalant. Apparently 25% of the people sitting in jails for drug trafficing are from Nigeria. While I've been there and the people were incredibly nice and the country beautifule, the place is a complete mess. I guess some of them fled for the greener savannahs of South Africa and Guadalcanal!

Vargha

They are both scams. Both of those people have already struck a deal with me. If they are trying to solicit you as well, then you are at risk of being ripped-off.
