This is a new twist on Spam…..

I got this email the other day….I love how they take the typical spam/scam and put a new “Christian” twist on it…..Do you think they get better results that way?  Funny thing is….I don’t lead a church…..but shouldn’t she know that since she wants to give me a huge pile of money “for the church”?

From Mrs.Grace Wisdom
ABIDJAN COTE D’ IVOIRE
05 B.P 107 ABIDJAN 05.
 
Dearest in Christ,   
              
I am Mrs.Grace Wisdom from island, I am married to ARCH DEACON Wisdom  who worked with  蛃land,embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2003.We were married for 25 years without 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 $(2.5million) in a security company  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 a church that will use this fund for orphanages, 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”.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives are around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.
 
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company  in Abidjan. I will also issue you an authorisation letter that will proove you the present 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.Contact me on my  email  any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
 
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Your’s Sister In Christ

Now I couldn’t tell you how much exactly $750,000 euros is, but it’s probably quite a bit……What will I do with ALL that money? I’m certain that, you know, there aren’t any strings attached. They probably don’t even want my bank account number or my social security number to deposit all that money. And you know what? I’m terribly impressed that I won in the first place since I didn’t even enter nor do I live anywhere near the country where this lottery occurred. It’s really quite amazing when you think about it! I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Sigh, spam………what would we do without it? And since we are on the subject of spam, check out this brilliant post on the subject…..written by my very talented and sweet husband.

What’s in your spam folder? Anything good??????
