The following sob-story was received in my private messages section of this site.  It is a classic example of a scam called the "Nigerian Scam"!
The con is worked by telling a somewhat plausible story of sudden death and concealed riches ... and then asking for the "pigeon's" help in recovering these riches, promising a rapid return on your "minimal" investment.
Many wealthy and intelligent people have been taken in by this scam.  IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THIS OR ANOTHER PLEA SIMILAR TO THIS HERE OR THRU YOUR E-MAIL OR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT OR ANY OTHER PLACE DO NOT RESPOND!
First you will be given a "bank contact" who doesn't really work in a bank ... someone who works with the main con to persuade you that you can get a million dollar return on an investment of a couple of thousand dollars ... or YOUR CHURCH can.  IF you fall for this, there will be a "hitch" in the proceedings and you'll have to send a couple thousand more to clear it up ... then a couple thousand more ... and more ... and more ... until you are drained and the cons walk away with your money, your dignity and your self-confidence. (That's why it's called a con ... because they gain your CONFIDENCE and then steal your SELF confidence!)
Just erase it and forget it ... show your wisdom and don't get caught.

From Sister(Mrs).Judith Nwando
Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa
 
Dearest in the lord,
I am Mrs.Judith Nwando, from Sierra Leone . I am married to late Mr.Godson Obere Nwando , who worked with Sierra Leone Embassy in Ivory Coast for Sixteen years before he died in the year 2005,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (Stella) who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians(from Muslim to Christianity). And since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home because of the love I have for him .
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$1.2M ) One Million,Two hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast .
Following my ill health, being a victim to cancer , I have decided to donate this fund to a Christain organizations (Church) that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband. I want this fund to be used in Christian Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of god and to endeavour that the house of the lord is maintained.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and do not know about this deposit . I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. 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 situation as well the presence of my late husband's relatives around me . I don't want them to know about this development/wish of my late husband hence I want it to be fulfilled . As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan and would introduce you officially to them.
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 as well commit me into your daily prayers.
Contact me on this email(judith01@hosanna.net) as soon as possible since any delay in your reply will give me room to source another Church/christian for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply immediately .

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Sister Judith A.Nwando.
