Hello Friend,
My name is Mrs ANDREA ALEX PALMER. I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what
I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone
has to be chosen. I am 66 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years
ago years after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked
for.
I have decided to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to
charity home through you for the good work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives
to use my husband hard earned funds inappropriately. I am presently in London
waiting for an operation and praying that I survive. I have decided to WILL / Donate the sum of
US$50,000,000 Million (Fifty Million united state dollars) .
My husband investment in to charity through you for the good work of humanity, and
to help the motherless, and less privileged and also for the assistance of the
widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that I
have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve
all the rest I can get before the operation.
Presently,I have informed my Attorney about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you. I wish you
all the best of luck, and please use the funds well as I want it to be a seed i have
sown and always extend the good work to others.If you are interested in carrying
out this task,i will inform my Family Attorney so that he can arrange the release
of the funds to you. You may wonder, why don"t i call many charity group
and donate the fund to them, because they might not use the funds as directed by me.that is the more reason i
have contacted you through your email.
% There will be a reward for you as soon as you finish this work by receiving 1% of the funds which is $500,000 us dollars as instructed by my late husband DR ALEX PALMER.
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, due
to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in the way
of my last wish. If you are wiling to help in this course kindly reply to this
email to enable my Attorney contact you.
The fund was kept in a bank here in London named Halifax Bank of Scotland. you are free to call the bank to
confirm anytime you feel like for confirmation. Then my Attorney will contact you as soon as you agree to do this
with all the necessary account information.

^ Oh yeah sure do it. All they need is your account and routing numbers as well as your social security number (to "transfer funds") and probably 5 grand in "good faith" money. If it was me I would say something along the lines of you are sick for using cancer as a way to con people into personal info. Whats next? HA!
