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.

Subject: Remain Blessed.
Dear Brother/Sister's in Lord Christ Jesus.
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,I am former Mrs Kafiyat
Mariama Rasaq,
now Mrs Elizabeth Rasaq,a widow to Late Hammed Ali Rasaq.I am 72years old,I
am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious
that I may not live more than six months, because the cancer stage
has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband was killed during the
Gulf war, and during the period
of our marriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood during the
Gulf war.My late husband was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited
all his business and wealth. My personal physician told me
that I may not live for more than six months and I am so scared about this.
So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development
of evangelism in Africa,America, Europe and Asian Countries.
This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recenlty relocated
to Israel,where I live presently. I selected your church after visiting
the website for this purpose and prayed over it,I am willing to donate the
sum of $18.500,000.00 Million US Dollars to your Church/Ministry for the
development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around
you.Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Company in Europe
and the company has branches, therefore my lawyer will file an immediate
application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry. Please,
do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal
use other than enhancement of evangelism.
Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards my entire
life and my health because I
have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition
without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon vanity. If you have to
die says the keep fit and i will give you the crown of life. May the Grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the
Holy Spirit be with you. If your are interested do reach my Attorney he lives
in Paris, France.

Yours in Christ,
MRS ELIZABETH RASAQ,
