Please excuse this humble email if it offends your sensibilities, but I have no other
means to contact you. I cannot talk on the telephone, so I did a search for your email
address, which I found on the international directorate email data search. Due to my
immediate predicament, I decided to contact you.


My name is MaryAnn Sunderland I am a widow, and I have a terminal health condition
(Cancer of the blood - Leukemia), which has rendered me bed ridden for the last 7months.
I have been to several Cancer Treatment Centers without cure and my personal physician
has confided in me that I only have a few weeks more to live.

Therefore, I have urgently contact you as a reliable and trustful fellow to help fulfill
my final wish before I will die. Having accepted this condition as god’s will for me, I
have resolved to entrust my funds valued at US$ 8.5 Million to either a philanthropic
organization or devoted individual that will utilize it for charitable activities.

The reason why I have decided to contact you is because I have no child or devoted
relation who could reliably execute my will. However, you will be adequately compensated
for this task. I have set aside 30% of the money for you, while the balance 70% will be
used by you in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organizations,and orphanages. I don't
want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence my bold
decision to contact you, a total stranger. Since my health is regressing by the minute,
you will have to tell me a little about yourself.

With the information, I will make arrangement to prepare the Authorization through an
Attorney for you to get possession of the Deposit. My personal Reference Number Law/WILL/
9834520012...

Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tidings.


God be with you.

MaryAnn Sunderland

I used to work at a Gas Station that did Money Orders. We had a regular customer that was mentally challenged. One day he came in and wanted to wire $5,000. He also didn't understand why I (Being the Assistant Manager) had a coworker go across the street and get his Sister to talk him out of it. He had a copy of the email, saying he was gonna be rich and buy everyone he loves a house. Sad really.
