Just received in email - sent to me and "Undisclosed Recipients" (whoever he is). I'm going to rush my reply so that I beat him to it.

Hello,
My name is Mrs Jezebel Mark I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I have been diagnosed for cancer about 3 years now, immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has because He is a merciful God.

I will be going in for an operation, and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of GBP 5,500,000.00.(Five million five hundred thousand Pounds) to you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get .Presently, I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.
Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address ( gidon@lawyer.com ) or you can call his private line : +44-7010064171. If you are interested in carrying out this task, so that he can arrange the release of the funds 5,500,000.00.(Five million five hundred thousand Pounds) to you. My lawyer's name is Barrister Gidon Tom. I know I have never met you but my mind tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely.

Should you be interested to carry out the good work, then please send my lawyer the information?s?
1. Full names and Age..............
2. Private phone number...............
3. Current residential address...........
NB:I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished, as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish.

Thank you and God bless you.
Jezebel Mark

Doesn't Jezebel mean "false prophet"?

Geez....a dying Cancer patient scam.....how low. SMH

Doesn't Jezebel mean "false prophet"?

And "mark" means the target of a scam.

And "mark" means the target of a scam.

I learned that in haunted air

It still amazes me that there are so many that fall for this crap. It's usually those that can ill afford the loss, as well.

My immediate thought was to send just the email address to somebody I really don't like. As a link to something that sounded innocuous. My second thought was wouldnt it be great if I did that and found out later that is was for real?

another slice of spam ...

Last spam like that I received was from some woman in Libya who was trying to help spread her deceased husband's wealth to charities in the US and for my help, I'd get a percentage.

Couple of things that stand out too:

• The phone number is a British mobile (cell) phone number. they all start 07### UK landlines are either 01### or 02### (03### or 08### are charged at a higher rate and for businesses)
  
• We use a "s" instead of a "z" such as "jeopardise" instead of "jeopardize"
  
• Lawyer is an American term, UK term is solicitor (who the public can approach/pay for legal advice) or barrister (represents you in court, and only deals with solicitors, not the public until the actual court case arises).
  

I did once have an African prince want me to take on his title and income to help him move... but I had to give him £5000 to enable the action!
