Even the English is better than the usual Nigerian letter.
From: Mrs. Rose Welsh.
17 Copse Hill, Wimbledon,
SW20 0NE, London,
United Kingdom.
My Dear Beloved,I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I am married to Dr. Gerald Welsh who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. 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 £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. 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 herein.
Though I may not know you personally I want to tell you that, through
divine word of wisdom from above,I was asked to tell you to do this, not for me but for The Almighty because you are blessed and you have been chosen to do mighty works for the Almighty. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and destitute 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 husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify.
That’s not the whole thing, because its really long, and well, we all know how they go. Still, it’s the first time I’ve gotten one that’s “not” from some Third World nation. Wonder how many people will fall for this?
Interestingly, it’s the right address; SW20 is the right code for Wimbledon. Hmm…
Streetmap says it’s a hospital (not the one mentioned in it, though). Odd. Do these scams normally have actual addresses?
