This is a standard "wealthy dying widow" scam email. For proof that the scammers target any address they can find and these emails aren't personally sent to you, know that this one came in to the Administrator@scamwarners email address. :wink:

From: "stella white" <[email protected]>
Subject: From Mrs. Stella White

X-Originating-Ip: 41.205.166.208

Dear Sir/Madam

I am Mrs.Stella White, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous ail=
ment.
I am married to Sir Jim White who also is an Englishman though dead now. My
husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before the cold
hand of death took him away on the 23rd of July 2005 at about 2:00AM.Our
marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. My husband died
after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the
down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the United Kingdom,
Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the globe as he had
passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or
financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from
this relationship, which never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten Million
Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK. Presently, this money
is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or
numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150days due to the
cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the
stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has
befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to a
non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better
still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
here in. I want a non governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit
organization or better still an individual, that will use this gift which omes
from my husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,
destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren- women and
persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do
not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill
perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not
afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with
the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I
shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard
due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband's
relatives around me. I do not 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 UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority
that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. You might be
expected to Visit London if necessary (Unless the bank advise otherwise) because
this will enable you to see things for yourself. If possible pay me a visit at
the hospital and also at your wish to Sign the Fund Release Order Classified
Documents and pick up your Draft or by Bank Wire Transfer for the sum of 10
Million (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) as my Beneficiary or to
fine-tune arrangements on which ever way you feel safer in receiving the above
Amount to any account of your own choice. My happiness is that I lived a life
worthy of emulation.

Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will
give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a
non profit organization or better still an individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear
from you and see you soon in London when you arrive in U.K if you can make it to
London. God bless you and members of your family.

Mrs. Stella White.
