Beloved,

Compliments of the day to you ! By this e-mail,I do sincerely apologise for my intrusion of your privacy. However, I have a serious concern with which I believe you might be of help and for this reason,  My name is Mrs.Leisa Wilson,I`m 57yrs old .I am  a nationality Deutsch.I'm married to Deutsch (a German ) Mr harri Georg paul Wilson who worked with ELF OIL COMPANY for  thirty  years before he died in the plane crash On 26th of July 2000 with other passengers aboard.

We were a dedicated Christians and decided to serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since his death, I have lived with the memories, fighting ffortelessly to lead a normal life but all to no avail. I suffered mentally and psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of Cancer. I lived with the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just a month ago, the doctor informed me that I have just about three months more to live. I was  shocked, I accepted the news in good fate. Brethren, it is in this regard that I write to you, having sourced your address from a database in my late husband's internet dozier after fervent prayers. Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a bank in cote d'ivoire. I have wholeheartedly decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted believer or organisation and to achieve this, I need an individual that will utilize this funds
 adherently for these purposes.

1: For the sick, less-privilledged and destitute,

2: For the Widows and the motherless babies e.t.c.

3: orphanages, Research centres and widows propagating.

These are the wishes of a dying woman. They are the desires of my heart, hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance. Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am certain where my place already is. At this point, friends, well wishers, and my husbands relatives are all clampered around me as I sojourn in my hospital bed and are unaware of my plight, hence I will not be able to make an open conversation. When I receive your response, I will direct you at once to the bank. All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with which it is meant. In any a case, a quick response from you will be highly appreciated as I am already on a count-down and may not have ample time to finalize the procedures. Any delay in response may compel me to source for other measures or perhaps choose the alternative which I will not be happy to. Please, do not see this as a strange possibility or an unbeliveable opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance to assist the less priviledged in truth and in spirit with a substance.

I await your immediate response at ([email protected]).

Thank You and Bless You richly!

Yours Sincerely
Mrs Leisa Wilson

What a lot of hogwash!! It makes my blood boil!!  And since when is the name Harri Paul George Wilson - GERMAN!!!

i know...I get variations of this all the time in my email...I always report it to the provider it came from...

Char:

You beat me to it.  I received the same email and I have also reported.  But whomever sent it, apparently hijacked the OH member's account.  When I hit reply and wrote it was a scam and to take my email of their list, I got an error message stating that I had to put a name in the address box to send the email to.
I hate getting these scams.
Best,
Marci

I now marci...I get these all the time in my email...they seem to come in spurts...sometimes I will get 5 or 6 a day...and then a few weeks go by..nothing...then they are back...I don't like getting them in my email...but never expected to get one here....

I'd try changing your OH passwords too, sometimes these things contain ways of getting your information...like on Myspace I know if you get spammed, its usually someone hacking into your account and if you change the password, it gets helps get rid of them...worth a try at least - I'd report it to OH as well.

where do you change your password? I assume its under my oh somewhere but not finding it yet

My OH, settings then manage

I clicked everything except that! LOL...thanks! it's changed!

I get this kind of CRAP all the time......and you know, by ALL the
money I have won through on line lotteries that I have NOT played,
I am a multi-billion aire.....!!!!!!

hhmmm, and I have been worrying how to pay for my surgery...!!!!
