I got this in the mail today...twice.
Here un-altered and unplugged:
From: MRS. NNEKA AGU


alternative email address : mrsnnekaagu@yahoo.com

I am MRS. NNEKA AGU person from Nigeria undergoing
medical Treatment. I am married to
Dr. JOHN AGU who worked with Nigeria Embassy in South
Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2000. 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.


Since his death 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$9,900,000(Nine Million Nine hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one finance/security company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that my condition with the
special grace of God, will soon be okay.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
better still a Christian individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a
church or individual that will use this 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 to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.


I took this decision because I don't have any child that
will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are not
Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money
to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence
the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid
of death hence know where I am going.


I know that I am going to be in the bosom. If you will be
of assistance, I will surely appreciate and thank you for
your kindness in giving me this help.

Thank you, yours sincerely,

MRS. NNEKA AGU

Looks like another Nigerian Scam this time aimed gullible religious people.

it's from Nigeria, so i'd say there's a 99% chance it's a scam.

International phone numbers vary, you know.

And yes, it's yet another Nigerian 419 scam.

Don't believe it, don't respond to it. Not unless you're Dean Cameron. ;)

She wants to give her money to a Christian who promises to build churches and orphanages.

What would really be surprising is if someone got an e-mail that offered money from Nigeria and wasn't a scam.

They'd never know, because nobody takes those things.

It did, up until she said, "I know that I am going to be in the bosom." :lol:

You'd think these people would have set up their scamming operations in a different country by now. :roll:

Immediatly after reading the first line is when I would have started to debate as to whether I should just delete the email or play with the person abit.

"I am MRS. NNEKA AGU person from Nigeria" :roll:
