Dearest,Smooth roads never make good drivers. Smooth sea never makes goodsailors. Clear skies never make good pilots.Problem free life never makes a strong person. Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life. Don't ask the Lord, 'Why me?'. Instead say, 'Try me! My name is Rose Parker,I have no kids my husband is dead i do not have any relations but been directed by the LORD to inform you of his will to have you as his servant .The doctor says i have a short time to live that it is by miracle that I'm still alive .The doctor would not tell me the cause because they felt it might be too dangerous to tell me and but it has to do with my Lungs and kidney. I am really weak and tired but I'm not scared to die because it is paramount to every soul. More so it has been appointed for man to die once after death judgment.I have contacted you to use my wealth for the development of his kingdom work,I want you to act fast and have this funds out of have EXCO/HSBC Transglobal before they get confiscated. I seek your consent to present you as my next of kin so that the Wealth can be yours for the lord's purpose. In His Service,Rose

Subject: TRUSTING YOU IN GOOD FAITH !!!
Dear Beloved One.
reach me on my private mail: rose_ibrahim42@yahoo.com.hk
It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Rose Ibrahim, the wife of Late Mr. El Ibrahim, My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. 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 7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to conclude this, reach me on my private mail: rose_ibrahim42@yahoo.com.hk
Remain Blessed

It seems that Mary Parker lives a long time despite of cancer
Fri, 2008/12/12 - 05:17I just got this mail and it made me sick.
I'm not religious, but I quite disagree with this kind of abuse. Someone might even believe them!
Someone should stop this.
