I naturally responded to the email, you can read my sincere reply after it.


Warm Greetings!



Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and
may
offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent
and
writing through this channel. I got your contact from a professional
database
found in internet while searching for a reliable and honest person that
will
be an anointed steward in a vision very dear to me.



I am Mrs. Suzan bailey person from Puerto Rico undergoing medical
treatment. I
am married to Dr. Castillo Rodrique who was a gun runner supplying arms
and
ammunition to warring factions in Africa before he died in the year
2004. We
were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief
illness
that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or
get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive
he
deposited the sum of 11.8 Million Pounds Sterlings (Eleven Million,
Eight
Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Financial company. Presently, this
money is
still with the Financial company/Bank.



Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my partial
paralysis.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an
organization or
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.
I want an organization or individual that will use this to fund, women
and
youth groups, victims of war, environmental protection, charities,
orphanages
and widows or properties for orphanage homes. It is said that blessed
is the
hand that giveth.


I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this
money and as a part of restitution for the atrocities of my husband
which I
tacitly supported. I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in
an 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 bosom of the Lord. If you consider yourself adequately
equipped
morally and

spiritually for this mission, please send me a brief memo of how you
intend to
use the funds.



Thank you and God bless.



Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Suzan Bailey


my reply email.

Oh my God that is a really sad story, I have pity on you that you have
to resort to this sort of email communication to spread your lies in a
scam. Are you from Nigeria.? I have passed on your details to interpol
police to arrest you. As we have a tracking system to locate your where
abouts. I indeed think God may forgive you, so to meet your maker
quicker I hope the Cancer you say you have quickly rots out your
unworthy body. And you die a slow but very painful death you SCAMMER
Yours sincerely rovernaut

As I said it's a Yahoo email address I use. If it gets bombarded I will start up a new one, end of story.
I never use my real email address for anything. Like forum registering, to get passwords sent from registering,entering warranty details, comps or any unsolicted mail . That way I have kept my real personal email address clean from crap.
So I have been spam and virus free for ages. I never download anything from my Yahoo mail to my computer either.

Here we go again, Ok lets not post anything in general chat.
Then no one gets hurt, offended or nose out of joint.
Lets restrict freedom of speech. I get over anything posted on this forum as I have an open mind, if I agree or not, I repect the posters right to post. But it this post is so crappy then can the mods delete it and I won't loose any sleep over it.
I will become insensed and only post factual stuff concerning Land rover relevant stuff. But then that would become repititous as most posts have been covered before, so they are generally repeats. So lets lock all forum and only have a search button. Then any one can just search the relevant section and this site can become a library.
I will no reply to this any more. mods can lock it or delete it, feel free to do what they must.
I'm sorry to offended or bored anyone.

This is purely a personal response and I quite understand that others may see things differently.

I am actually pleased that you posted that original email. Like you I am pretty careful about who gets my important email address and I do have a webmail account that I can abandon if spam becomes a problem.

The downside of this is that I never get to see any of the famous scam emails, not even the Nigerian ones.
My natural curiosity means that I often wonder what is in those scam emails.
So now I know. I found it hilarious. It went from one sob story to another and just got better and better. (Although the grasp of English vocabulary, syntax and idiom didn't improve.)

Thanks for the post.
I hadn't read much good comedy fiction lately.

And thanks to both of you...
