This is great. I love this. I just got this email at Yahoo. I've never had anyone try to set me up and rip me off with one of these. It's an internet classic. The offer of great wealth. No doubt I would be asked for certain information, possibly a sum of money to get the transfer of massive wealth to me going! I should write them back and tell them I'm in the same situation and would like them to distribute my wealth as well...if they would only send me some cash to get the transaction going........LAUGH. I actually replied and thanked them for trying to rip me off because it gave me something to talk about today. I'd warn you guys about going for something like this, but this is so transparent no one here would fall for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dearest in the Lord, This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. After searching through your country's Chamber of Commerce and industry directory here in London I am contacting you to assist me, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains as you read this. I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mrs Angela Evra, a merchant here in London, presently taking medical treatment. Right now, I have been diagnosed with cancer that was discovered very late due to my uncaring attitude for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. To be frank with you, I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business and money. Though I am very rich, I was not that generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I've come to regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is almost up, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations here in UK, United Arab Emirates and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money which I have there to some charity organizations in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be content with what I have left for them. The last of my money is the huge cash deposit ($21m) that I have with a Finance House here in Uk. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I, Angela Evra that made this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for possible treatments & my time to come. You can reply me through my private email address: (I'm taking that out) As soon as I received your sincere response, I will hence give you all the necessary details of how this can be done. I pray that you are the kind of person i am looking for, so that I can be able to achieve this goal. If you accept to help me carry out my last wishes, I promise you a reward of 30% of the ($21m) on trust bases. Thank you for understanding, Angela Evra Writing from, London UK.

Nice twist, going for the *I was a bad bad capitalist but now want to make good and can't trust my greedy family*.... I'm just surprised the $21m wasn't spelled out and in CAPITAL LETTERS.
