My Dearest One,

I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Mrs mary Clement from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am married to Mr.William Clement from Abidjan cote D` Ivoire who worked with Kuwait Embassy in GUINEE for nine years before he died in the year 2003.
We were married for eleven years without a child. 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 remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $4.5 Million in a SECURITY COMPANY AFRICA.and befor he made this deposit i am the only one that he told about consingment box as his wife.
Recently, my DOCTOR told me that I would not last for the next six months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church,organization or good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church,organization or good person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at all
because they are the one that killed my husband in other to have all my
late husband prperties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this 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.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace".
I don't need any telephone communication in this regards because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't 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 SECURITY COMPANY in AFRICA. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this BOX.one more thing that i will like to tell you is that this box is been deposited in this company was declare as family treasure not as money. I want you and the church or the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please
always be prayerful all through your life.
Contact me on the this email clementmy07@yahoo.fr
address and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church,organization or good person for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Mrs Mary Clement

*What do you think ?????
scam for sure same thing happened to me same question it would have been a $60000 loss a counterfet us postal money order.he want to come and pick your items up gives you a counterfet check and you loss
Its a scam, I receive messages those all the time. Write them back & tell them where to go..
I think from now on, all such emails should be forwarded to the Dept. of Hom'd Sec. as evidence of possible terrorist activity ;--)
Sounds like a scam for sure.
Someone just try to scam me last month. Gave me a sobbing story of how her daughter is sick, and then proceeded to tell me that she had to fly to England to bury her daughter and would need the funds right away via Western Union. The funds she was referring to was of course from a fake bank check that was issued incorrectly with a few extra “0”s from her friend. Here's the sample mail I got from this scammer in England:

"Good Morning how are you doing today and how is your family? I am the sad est woman right now i felt like dying but i believe God is in Control of my life.

Yes i sent you an E-mail in other to purchase your Item Sorry for not responding early. I got an urgent call from Manchester,UK concerning my daughter health right now i am just sick and tired i had to seek a week off from my duty post in other to be there before the surgery commence.

Yesterday i Informed my customer to make out the payment to you on my behalf which i got a notification that it has been mailed out to you Via USPS REGULAR MAIL SERVICES. I want you to keep an eye on it and reading the shipping i would advise you to suspend the shipping till i return for safety purpose.

Please he said there would be a little change remaining on the money after deducting yours for the Item,I advice you to please keep it for me until i find a way in which you could be able to send it to me here in the UK. DO YOU KNOW ANY MEANS OF WHICH YOU CAN SEND THE BALANCE TO ME?

Respond to this email as soon as you get it promising me that this is okay and i pray we will not fall into any problems which i am into right now. Waiting to hear from you again"

The RED Flags to learn are:

- Bad English
- Overly complicated pickup and payment scheme
- 3rd party checks
- Sob story, or taking advantage of someone’s ethical or religious background
- Always in a hurry to get the money once the fake check is issued.

If you want to sell your item to fishy buyers with "0" feedback, insist that their check clear before item sent. With USPS money order you should check out USPS web site on scam MO.
