Just a warning for all the gullible fools out there. That this one is a scam is very easy to spot. It claims to come from someone in Kuwait yet is sent from an address at Yahoo! Japan. The clearest evidence, though, is the fact that NO ACTUAL PERSON WOULD REALLY CONTACT YOU OUT OF THE BLUE TO TRANSFER MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT! If, in a desire to get rich quick you take these e-mails at face value, you will GET POOR QUICK!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the text of the message:<\/p>\n

Dearest in Christ, <\/p>\n

I am Mrs. Rebecca David from Kuwait. I am married to late Mr. Richard David, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2003,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. <\/p>\n

We were married for Eighteen years with a daughter (Hannah) who later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since after 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 (US$2.5M)(Two Million, Five hundred Thousand United States Dollar) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in Abidjan Cote d\u2019Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently, following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due to my cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christian organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death. I want this fund to be used in Christian Activities like, Orphanages, Christian schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that \u201cBlessed is the hand that giveth\u201d. I took this decision because I don\u2019t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don\u2019t want my husband\u2019s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don\u2019t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. <\/p>\n

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 \u201cthe lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace\u201d. I don\u2019t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband\u2019s relatives around me always. I don\u2019t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. <\/p>\n

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church 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 Church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord. <\/p>\n

Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Rebecca David.<\/p>\n
