Liberian Christian scam?

I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm sure it falls under the guise of Nigerian 419 fraud, but this one just seems out of place with a new twist to all of the other email scams I've seen...

I am the above named person from Liberia. I am married to Mr. Cletus John who worked with Liberian embassy in Lome-Togo for nine years before he died in the year 2000.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 $6.8Million (Six Million Eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one 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 Eight months due to cancer problem.

The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to keep this fund in a security company in Accra Ghana.

I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husbands 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 regard 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 inform the security company in Accra Ghana that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to go and claim this fund in Europe. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. 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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. If you want to talk by phone, you can call my doctor on telephone number 234-8055249715, or mail him at Frank_james_y3k@yahoo.com his name is Dr. Frank James.

Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Theresa John.

Comments on this entry

Hi,

I just found your site when I got an unsolicited e-mal from "Frank James" of "Accra", "Ghana" saying how my (non-existent) long lost relative had passed away leaving millions in a fund to collect etc. etc.

Only in my scam mail, Frank has graduated from 'Doctor' to 'Barrister'.

The other twist with my letter was that they actually addressed the letter to my full name within the letter itself, using my last name as the name of the 'deceased!'

So the scam is maturing.

Any way, one more for the 'blocked senders' list. I really need to get good spam control.

Cheers!
