sandra dickson..fraud???
Hello everyone,
I received from a person named "sandra dickson" claiming that her family died and she is about to die and has a lot of money to donate to the church. She asked if we wanted the money, to contact the bank in her country. I believe this is a total fraud but I may be wrong..I am notifying you guys just in case she sent it to you guys because she mentioned my membership in the tasbeha.org community. I just want you guys to be careful, because some how or some way, it may be some time of fraud. HERE IS THE EMAIL... (she uses many references to Christ to be deceiving)--->thats what I BELIEVE
"Dearest One
I am Mrs serroy john an Sierra Leon nationality and a member of www.tasbeha.org. I am married to late Mr Emmanuel john, who worked with Sierra Leon Embassy in Ivory Coast for 9 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 daughter (Lilian)who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since after 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 US$3.5 M ( Three Million, Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the bank.
Recently, following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next six months due to my cancer ailment. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like, Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavour 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's 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 battle 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 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 bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you as 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 as a worthy Christian. Whoever wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in searching 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.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Sandra Dickson"

This is most definitely a fraud. DO NOT reply, delete the e-mails from your system, and do the same with any fresh ones.
If you want to see what is likely to be going on with this, look at this site: http://www.419eater.com/index.htm
I would recommend this site to anyone here who gets these kind of e mails. Kerestina is quite correct, these people are playing with the good consciences of people such as yourself; they are fraudsters with, alas, seemingly no conscience. On no account let them have any of your details.
In Christ,
John
wait let me get this straight, she wants to donate money to the church or what?
