Deathbed Scams (5)

If you receive an unsolicited e-mail from someone who claims to be dying and wants you to distribute their small fortune,  don't believe it.   This is almost certainly a scam where you will be asked to pay some type of fee to acquire the fortune or   you will be presented with a phony check and asked to return a share.  Don't be fooled by official looking documents as scammers make a living forging these things.  If you get such an e-mail or letter or you get a letter that is similar to one in our database: you should delete the letter.  NEVER pay any fees of any kind.   You may want to visit other sites to learn more:

Read And ReplyTuesday, October 23, 2007 11:28 AM From: "Monna Mullins" <monamullins4@email-msn.com>My Dear,

I apologize if the content of this e-mail is against your moral belief. Nevertheless, i will advise you pay close attention to the information i am about to divulge to you with utmost confidentiality. You might probably think this is just another scam or scheme, but i assure you that you can only know the truth if you read carefully the content herein. My name is Monna Mullins, an American Citizen presently in Europe for medical treatment. I was hospitalized and bed ridden after a ghastly auto accident involving my entire family on our way back from camping in Canne, South of France. Myself and husband survived with major injuries. But, he died one week after the accident as a result the injuries sustained in his brain.

More so, the doctor has informed me that my health condition is getting worse. This is as a result of the head injuries i sustained from the accident which has affected my brain and caused a major damage to my spinal cord. I am told that i have a few months to live after a series of surgeries and tests had being conducted. Knowing this sad development, i have decided to dispose our estate and fund to a prudent and God fearing person; who will disburse the money wisely for the work of charity and other ventures as he deems fit. This decision is based on the fact that i am the only surviving person in my family, with no extended relatives to inherit these properties. I hate to think that the bank and security firm where we have these assets lodged will confiscate and declare it unserviceable after my death; Hence, my reason for this bold decision. Although, i am a stranger to you and for all you know i could be just another of those Internet con-artists. However, i will implore you to respond to this e-mail

All that you are required to do is assist in safe-keeping this fund valued at US $15.5 Million United States Dollars deposited in an Escrow account with a security consultancy firm in Madrid, Spain, before it gets confiscated or declared un-serviceable. Therefore, i seek your consent to present you as the Trustee/Foreign Investor to my late husband, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. I have all the necessary information, guidelines and documents given to me by my husband before his death. Your honest and full co-operation is all that is required to enable us see this transaction through. But it is imminent I state to you clearly now that this transaction will be executed through normal banking proceedings. Although, i guarantee that this will be executed under a proper arrangement that will be sternly monitored by me every step of the way. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality and discreetness in this matter until the task is accomplished, as i don't want anything that will J I know i have never met you in person, but my intuition tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely. Note that, 40% of the total fund will be given to you and family upon the successful release of this fund, because I am now too weak and fragile to do things myself. Please, include your full name, resident address and phone numbers when responding to this e-mail.

My best regards to your family, Monna Mullins

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 $8.5 Million with a Bank in Benin Republic Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank in Benin . Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem, but I know that my doctor is not God.

mrsdeboraclarkSaturday, September 1, 2007 7:12 AM From: "mrsdeborah" <Codeshare@yahoo.com> Mrs. Deborah Clark 25, Dolhamm Clark Avenue , Worcestershire, London , DB 200NE, England , United Kingdom .

Dear Beloved, Greetings to you in the name of God. I am Mrs. Deborah Clark, undergoing medical treatment in GARDEN HOSPITAL , 46-50 Sunny Gardens Rd. , Hendon, London , NW4 1RX , England . I am married to Dr.Dolhamm R. Clark who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2005. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. 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 £12 Million (Twelve Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Security Company in Europe . Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 4 months due to a rare form of cancer of the pancreas. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universe.

I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not 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 Almighty. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. 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 Finance/Security Company in Europe . I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me.

My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. Hoping to hear from you. Thank you and may the Almighty bless you. When responding, send your reply to: mrsdeboraclark@yahoo.co.uk

Yours sincerely, Mrs. Deborah Clark.

N.B, please remember to send your positive response to my private email address: mrsdeboraclark@yahoo.co.uk
