Darn Jon,

With all of that money coming in you are going to be almost on an even par with Warren. Maybe the two of you could put it to good use and bail the country out of the mess we are in. In fact why don't you just forward some of those to some of our Congressmen. I am sure they would get several takers.

and now the charity angle..................


From: Mrs.Lizzy Graham
17 Copse Hill, Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.


My Dear
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. Jim 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 US$10 Million (Ten Million Dllars) 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 150days due to cancer problem.
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 or 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. 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.
you can contact me on my private Email :lizzygraham234@gmail.com
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.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Lizzy Graham.

Well it is different from the run of the mill scams and the grammar is much better than normal. Maybe you should take her upon this one.

Ron :)

:p

Just a quick note to you all to let you know I’m heading off on a bit of a
holiday …

Now, usually when I take time away, it’s for fun in the sun, a cruise, a
travelling adventure. But could this trip ever be different!!!

I have been greatly blessed … not just in life and career … but especially
recently with phenomenal good luck!!

In just the past week, through e-mails, I found out I have actually won 1.35
Million British Pounds in the U.K. Lottery; not only that, I also have been
notified I am the winner of the exact same amount in the Irish Lottery.
Fantastic!! Especially since I did not buy any tickets! Now that’s real
luck!! Surely, these kind people writing to me from all over the world would
NOT lie to me! The money WILL be mine … once I pay the usual processing fees.

And on top of these winnings, I am also expecting great commissions from
several other financial opportunities around the world I have been approached
about (no doubt because of my stellar trustworthy personal and professional
reputation) and some great sums of money will be mine …. once I provide my
banking information so they can make the direct deposit!

So off I go … to collect!

Ron :D
