Stop It, Stop It Now, you net-grifters!

This kind of con is repugnant. (well, all cons are repugnant) In Christ's name, in the name of compassion and love, ripping people off. I've had no less than four emails in a week from this source and that guy in Nigeria.

Thing that really pisses me off is that IF this person is legit, there's no way to know thanks to all the other cons. And they're not, clearly. WHICH OIL AND GAS COMPANY???!!!! Kuwait and Cote D'Ivoire not being at all the same place.And "producing company"??? The Ivory Coast is West Africa -- not much with the oil to my knowledge. More the blood diamonds and civil war. 'Course, I may be missing something, like a major processing plant, there being a lot of coast and all, but c'mon. AND if you want to give money to orphanages, just give it to them. No private citizen is a qualified middle-man for such transactions. She doesn't want the money used in an ungodly way??? Oh, irony. Why email total strangers then? Why run a con? Speaking of ungodly. Gah.

Dear In Christ,

I am Mrs Hellen Douglas from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Benhard Douglas
who was the chief executive director of an oil and Gas producing company
here in Cote D' Ivoire for eleven years before he died in the year 2004.We
were married for thirty six with-out a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I
decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the
Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$3.5 U.S Million in a Bank here in Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months
due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein. I want an individual or a church that will use this fund for
rphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where
this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am
going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". With God all things are
possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
the Bank here in Abidjan. I will also issue you an authorisation letter that
will prove you the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church
to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that
I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord
must serve him in spirit and Truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.And please contact me here
with my private alternative email address:douglasfamily_dh@myway.com, and
any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or
induvidual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I Stated herein. As I wIl be hoping to receive your reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs Hellen Douglas.
