Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am former Mrs Medina Ahmed now Rebecca Goha, a new Christian convert of 74 years old after receiving the sacrament of baptism from a Christian denomination.
For quite a good number of years now, i have been suffering from cancer of the breast and fibroid of the womb and from all indications,my condition is deteriorating by day that i wont live more than six months from now as predicted by my doctors.
My husband who is now late was killed during the US raid against terrorism in Afghanistan. Throughout the period of my marriage with my husband, all efforts to bear children proved abortive because of my poor state of health. My husband was a very wealthy and influential man throughout his life. After his death,i inherited all his businesses and wealth.
Since it is now obvious that i may not survive my poor state of health, i have deemed it necessary to leave a legacy on Earth and give a
positive account and justification of the life i lived on Earth before the Lord.This i want to achieve by committing part of this wealth to
the development of church and the upbringing of the less privileged. I am willing to donate a sum of $ 9,000,000.00 for the church and less
privileged in your country.Please, note that this sum was securely deposited in a security company overseas in my name by my husband . I have highlighted my solicitor on the said sum and all the possible assistance he would render to you on the documents covering the money so as to enable you receive it as i
cannot follow it up because of my ill health. Presently, he is in Iraq monitoring the restoration of peace and democracy there.Lastly, i honestly pray that this money when remitted to you is judiciously used for the said purpose and you will take 10% of it for
doing this corporal work of mercy.This is because i have come to realise that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity.Please, get back to me immediately for further elaborations.
May the almighty Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the true fellowship of the holy spirit be with you and your family.
I await your response.
Yours in Christ.
Mrs RebeccFunny, that’s the same one I received yesterday… I recall a story in the Good Weekend section of The Age a while ago which had the stories of some of the people in the US who had been ripped off, with some even killed after travelling to Nigeria.
Cheers
rI got that one too.
I think these people search the net (all auotmated) looking for email address. They probably got mine from here. Thats why some people use a ‘at’ instead of @ or ‘dot’ instead of . in their email addresses. I have a spamm stopper, but this one must have gotten thru.

I receive this quite often. My sister’s brother in law is a very smart person (Dr. in Economics) but sommehow got hooked into this scam. He lost his business & lots of borrowed money from relatives. Be careful. [

Are donations to Save the Arty Foundation tax deductable?
Regards
Hey muppet – depends what we’re saving Arty from!! If it’s saving him from Pinky, it must be a charitable cause, and therefore tax deductible!![
]Cheers
MelHey Arty
Happy to transfer all my money to such a worthy cause, perhaps you could just post your bank account number here on the forum, preferably with any login and password details required to access the account to make it easier for me to transfer the money….[}] []Keep smiling
FelicityArty
Being that you are now a 4 gold star general! I am not surprised that you have a swisse bank account![}

[
]muppet… as long as I get the money, you can do what you want with the tax LOL… []Its good to share, so my part to ensure that everyone has a good feeling about their self and share their money with me !!> [
]You can set up a account so every month a small donation of 1% of your lease income goes directly to my account. !! [
][]Sort of like the white collar bandits “salami slicing” big account by a few cents into their own account, but its hard to detect a small amount… [
]Not that I have ever done that ….[

If you want to have a laugh and maybe scam the scam artists then have a look at http://www.scamorama.com/
Seems people are fighting back as far as these scam artists are concerned. I just can’t believe how people can fall for their lines.

Hi Guys,
I’m a little puzzled, today I received an email to buy viagra. Not unusual I get them everyday.However, this time I noticed the name of who sent it. It was from xyzzy I noticed this because I have seen this name in the forums.[
]So, is this a co-incidence or is xyzzy sending out spam to the silly people like me who put their email in the forum???
Any replies??
Keep smiling,
Sue [

Hi Guys
This has already been posted.
When you write your email address put in “at” and not “@”. If this is done web crawler programs are not able to recognise the address as an address.This may cut down your rubbish.
My school address gets about 30 emails per day because the address is public domain.This will interest Pinky…if I took notice and bought from the emails I get everyday I would be good for 24/7/365 and at least 12 inches long.
That reminds me of the person from the USA, in the days before viagra and implants, who walked aound with a rock hanging from the end of it.Regards
muppet when you ARE buying it all….and you ARE 12 inches and ready 24/7…..remind me to give you my email address!! LMAO [}
