"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.



From : Madam Fatima Suleiman.

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr.Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Nine years before he died in the year 2000.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 Christians.And,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 $36Million (Thirty-Six Million USDollars) with the BARCLAYS BANK OF GHANA,ACCRA.{REPUBLIC OF GHANA}in the year 1998.

Presently,this money is still with the Bank,and recently my Doctor told me that i would not last for the next four months due to the Cancer problem which i'm suffering over right now,though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition i decided to donate this Fund to Church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way i am going to instruct here in.

I want a church or Godly person that is God fearing to help utilise this fund to develop Churches,Orphanage Homes and Widows propagating the Word of God and to ensure that the House of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that"Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because i don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and i don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in ungodly manner.

Hence the reason for taking this bold decision,i am not afraid of death hence i know where i am going.I know that i am going to be in the Bossom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that"The Lord will fight my case and i shall hold my Peace".

I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my Health condition,and the presence of my late husband's relatives around me always,while because of the misunderstanding that broke out within the family members of my late Husband during the last Xmas that i donated the sum of{US$2M}Two Million USdollars to certain Orphanage Centres in the Republic of Ghana;and as a result of this,i do not 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 Bank where this money is been deposited in Accra,Ghana.I will also issue you a letter of Authority that will prove you as the Foreign Beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the church to always pray for me towards the restoraton of my illness,though,i believed The LORD is my Shephard. My happiness is that i've 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,but remember that any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as i stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soonest.

NOTE : PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO EMAIL THE LAWYER IN RESPECT OF THIS TRANSACTION,HE BASED IN ACCRA,THE CAPITAL CITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA,HE DOES EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND RELIABLE,I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS IN JESUS,AMEN.

Yours in Christ,
