Hello,

I am Elaine Masters now undergoing medical treatment for cancer. I was
married to Dr. David Masters who worked with United Kingdom Embassy for ten
years before he died in the year 2002.

Before my Husband died, we both made a deposit of a total sum ?4, 800, 000,
00 (Four million, eight hundred thousand Pounds) in a financial company here
in U.K. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have few months to live due to
cancer problem. Having known my condition I have decided to donate this fund
to an honest Person. who will be trusted to assist me in my last desire to
help the poor and the sick through charity.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to
hear from you. Please send your response to this email address:
[email protected]

In His Arms.

Mrs. Elaine Masters


It's all a lie. Anyone responding to this mail will be put in contact with a fake lawyer and/or a fake representative of the 'financial company', who will require various fees in order to transfer the money. But the money does not exist, so it will never arrive.
