Not a good way to start a phishing e-mail to someone who is not stupid enough to reply. Even Mrs Holy doesn’t use such wet language. But it gets worse.
My Beloved Friend In The Lord. Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs. Deborah A. Johnson from Bahrain, a widow to late Dr. A. Johnson. l am 51 years old and a converted born again Christian, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I might not live more than two (2) months, according to my doctor because the cancer has gotten to a very worst / dangerous stage. My late husband and my only child died last five years ago, his death was politically motivated. My late husband was a very rich and wealthy business man who was running his Gold/Diamond Business here in South Africa. After his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than two (2) months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the churches in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. I collected your email address during my desperate search on the internet and I prayed over it and the spirit our Lord Jesus directed me to you as an honest person who can assist me to fulfill my wish here on earth. I decided to donate the sum of $5,600,000.00 USD (Five Million Six hundred thousand United States dollars) to the less privileged because I cannot take this money to the grave. Please I want you to note that this fund is lodged in a bank here in South Africa. Once I hear from you, I will forward to you all the information's you will use to get this fund released from the bank here in South Africa and to be transferred to your bank account. I honestly pray that this money when transferred to you will be used for the said purpose because l have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family. Reply me on my private email address Thanks and God bless you. Your beloved sister in Christ. Mrs. Deborah Johnson
She/he is taking a hell of a risk sending it to a heathen/infidel.
Well if it’s in a South African bank, she’s stuffed. Have you tried dealing with South African banks once you have left the country? The usual reply when asking to have something done is that you visit the local branch, and although you tell them you are contacting them from New Zealand, it’s well “so what’s the problem?”.
She’s cheap. My last Nigerian prince-brother was going to give me $USD 20m.
I guess the lower amount is more believable?
Why can’t she just donate it to her local sky fairy branch?
At least you don’t have to marry her to get it.
I’m not sure. There was that time I’d won £50m in the lottery. I didn’t even need to buy a ticket.
Blood diamonds?
Got one of those but being a pagan couldn’t understand who the fuck she was talking about.
Have this bin labelled “Cesspit” so into that it went.
One site has many interesting stories of scamming the scammers, that is hilarious. A laughing revenge on their greed.
From their “letters archive”;- Busted by Shiver MyTimbers.
The story revolves around a carving, that the scammer had to make, and send to then receive a large donation from some “artistry foundation”.
It is claimed that an “African tree squirrel” turned the carving into wood shavings, hibernated and on its return ate the rest of the carving.
All mixed up with insurance claims, apologies, shipping companies, etc. with accompanying photos to the frustration of the original scammer.

Always great for a laugh.
Are they writing this for a certain type of people, in the hope of more replies?
Sounds like they are talking to a mirror.
