Email scam: funds available for charity

Here is another variant of the advanced fee fraud. An alleged rich person wants to distribute a large amount of money via a charity, and looking for a trusted person.

Note the new twist of "only having a laptop as a means of communication" in order to allay fears about no phone number/physical address provided.

Though this medium (internet) has been greatly abused but surely it is still the most convenient, safe and secured means of communication. Do pardon me for the breach of your privacy if it did offend you. I know this letter will come to you as a surprise, but this letter is borne out of my desire to contact a capable and kind who will be willingly ready to accept the responsibility of this humanitarian project.

Another 10% will be used to clear all expenses incurred by you or any other party involved in the process of taking Possession of this fund. The balance should be strictly used for the main project please.

I pray that God will bless you for all your kindness shown to the needy. I will give you copies of all the documents that cover this transaction if you are ready and capable of handling it ok. Please if you are willing, kindly send me the following information's:
