This email scams are getting really elaborate now. Look at this email I got:



Dear Friend,

I am Mrs Felicia Hayes Harrison from Ireland. I was married to Dr.Franklyn Staal Harrison who worked with ChevronTexaco in Nigeria for twenty years before he died in the year 2002.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region of Nigeria.He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region.

Before his death we were both happy couple. Since his death I decided not to re-marry .When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Six Million Two hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with a bank in the Nigeria.

Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.

It is my last wish to see that this money is invested, the proceed at the end of every year distributed among charity organisations. I took this decision because i know that there are alot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to cometo their aid. I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilise this money to fund churches, orphanages and less priviledge around the world but this generous donation must be made in our family name "Harrison"

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank.I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice.

I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.You are to help me invest this funds into real estate and stocks.You will be entitled to 10% and invest 90% ans also 10% of every profit you make in a year is yours.

Please I need you to assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein and keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your custody safe in your nominated account,this is to ensure that nothing jeopadises my last wish on earth.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hearing from you soon.

Yours Faithfully,

Mrs Felicia Hayes Harrison
