I am not getting the money myself, it's to give to the needy apparently-

May Peace be with you

Please this is an urgent solicitation for assistance. I am Marylyne Vantelli, a widow and cancer patient. I have to sell all my properties left by my late husband because the doctor had diagnosed me in my last days. This letter comes from a devastated, sorrowful and emotional laden soul that needs compassion from a kind and conscience driven person. I need someone who has a sincere compassionate heart for an international humanitarian charity. I have deposited the funds sum of £10 Million Gbp which I sold from my properties and deposited into a Bank. I want you to help me use the funds to help the less privileged deaf and the motherless babies, churches, and hospitals in need before I go to the Lord. If you are a good and honest person e-mail me so as to tell you more in detail with documentation..

Kind regards,

Sincerely,

Mrs. Marylyne Vantelli.

You can pay it into my account if you like. Doesn't matter if it's a scam as I'm expecting a big sum from a Nigerian Prince any day now so I'll be able to cover it.

I received this one a couple of weeks ago:

I am Mrs. Elizabeth Schubert now undergoing medical treatment. I am
married to Dr. Schubert, who worked with German Embassy in Benin
Republic before he died in the year 2006. We were married for eleven
years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.
I decided not to re-marry 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$14,900,000.00 in his offshore account with a
Bank in North America, Precisely Canada, this money
is still with the Bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not Last for the next three
months due to cancer and what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better
still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct here. I want a church or individual that will use
this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the
word Of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The
Bible made us understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took
this decision because I don’t
have any child that will inherit this money.

I cannot rely on family and closest relatives any more, as they did
not show responsible behavior when I entrusted part of my wealth to
them to distribute to charitable organizations but instead used the
money for their personal needs. To prevent any more mishaps, my
attorney in Canada will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the
Charity organizations, and to ensure all the integral and necessary
documents/documentations are provided to ensure the funds are released
to you. I sincerely request for your assistance in this humanitarian
work. I want the bank to transfer the fund to your bank account so
that you will use 80% of the fund to help the following people:

1, Motherless babies.
2, Widows.
3, Disable people.
4, Cancer patience.

The 20% of the fund is for you and your family, if you will accept to
do this humanitarian work. You will promise me that you will not
disappoint me when the fund will be transferred to your bank account
there in your country, and you will also assure me that you will use
the 80% of the money for the said purpose. Reply to me urgently if you
are interested in this transaction because any delay to your response
will give me a room to look for another reliable person for the same
purpose, hoping to hear from you. Whatever the case might be, just put
me in prayers at all times.

May the almighty God bless you.

Mrs. Elizabeth Schubert

I enjoyed it I haven't been to mass in years so the peace is much missed.
You must have a better class of scammer than i.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 04/02/2021 10:09

My word! I would love to help, unfortunately a small acting troupe of very worried llamas dropped by last week and took the last of my savings.

I so look forward to seeing Drama Llama Productions helping increase awareness of All World Ills!

Oooh Elizabeth Schubert has really pulled out all the stops there. Cancer Patience indeed.

Yeah, I am happy to give you my account number if you want to deposit the money there. Similarly to one of the posters above, I am expecting a large sum from my long lost uncle from Nigeria, who happened to be a childless prince and wanted to leave the worldly possessions to me. Who knew I had blue blood in me!

I know someone who was taken in by a scam exactly like this. They only need one person to fall for it. Sad
He was an elderly gentleman whose first language wasn't English.

Oh that's so sad. You are right, if people didn't fall for it they wouldn't bother.

There’s a scam baiting website, 419 Eater, if you forward these scam emails to them the ‘baiters’ on there will play with the scammers and was lots of their time and, where possible, put them to great inconvenience 😊

Some of the ‘baits’ are really funny to read too.

EstuaryBird · 04/02/2021 10:30

waste lots....not was lots ☺️

Sparklingbrook · 04/02/2021 23:09
