Venditoris: Beware of Sellers & Scams

Now comes a letter (I call them hook letters) from Mrs Douglas who is in a hospital in Spain. Yet she has two different email addresses, neither in Spain.

It’s not from Nigeria (in everything but spirit)

Think it’s a little fishy? The 15 million us dollars are attractive.

The “jewish” addition is a good pitch, too; new and crafty (broadens the appeal..perhaps…)

The cancer is heart rending, yet she doesn’t know me, my email address, nor probably her own. I never heard of her and I’ll bet you haven’t either until now.

What do you think the odds are of this being a sincere, warm and truthful letter?

Mrs. Becky Douglas
Hospital Malva Rosa,
Valencia,Spain.

I am the above named person from Spain but now undergoing medical
treatment in Valencia, Spain.I am married to Mr Fred Douglas who worked
with Sweden embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the
year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child.

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four months.Before
his death we were both jewish. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of $15,000,000.00 USD (fifteen million
united states dollars) with one bank here in Spain.Presently, this money is
still with the bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to cancer problem.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to the less privileged and the needy that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want
a jewish individual or other God fearing person that will use this
money on my behalf to fund the needy and the poor. I took this decision
because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not jewish and I don’t want my husbands hard earned money
to be misused. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.Due to
the present status of my health which as affected my speech, I think my
telephone communication with you my will not be important.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my
lawyer who will make provision for the necessary documents to enable
this funds get to you successfully and the bank in Spain will arrange for
the release of the money to you as soon as possible for this good work. I
will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this
fund.My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy jewish. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Thanks and the good Lord use you in the right direction to wisely
utilise this funds as will be directed by me.I will be expecting to
hear back from you.Please reply me via my private email box:

My Regards.
Mrs. Becky Douglas.
