I was “blessed” to receive the following scam e-mail not once but twice. To all those who have received it and think it may be legitimate, it is not. It is an attempt to get your personal information. Don’t fall for it! The message text follows. Note the hilarious (and presumably unintentional) part about “undermining your religion”!
Messaggio

The Church is one of the biggest churches built for God in Italy. In the year 1901, they started offering collection for the Sole objective of human growth, educational and Community development. In collaboration with the ECOWAS, UNO, and the EU, We are giving out an annual donation of US$650,000.00 each to 100 lucky recipients each year, undermining your religion.
These specific Donations/Grants will be awarded to 100 lucky international recipients worldwide; in different categories for their personal business development. You can be of any religion to receive this grant. The objective is to make a notable change in the standard of living of people all around the Universe (From America to Europe, Asia to Africa and all around).
