Here is an e-mail I just received About some Money..I am sure it is a "scam"

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you and your entire family!!!

I am Mr. David Zuma, from Burkina Faso-West Africa, working with African Development Bank (ADB). I am contacting you independently of my investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of $11.3million to your private account.

The money has been here in our Bank lying dormant for 8 good years now without anybody coming for the claim of it.The money was deposited in our bank by Mrs.Joyce Lake an American citezen who died in a plane crash in 2000 Since we got information about her death, we have been expecting her next of kin or relatives to come and claim her funds.

Unfortunately i learnt that she died along with her husband and children who are supposed to be her next of kin, It is there upon this discovery that i decided to release the money to you as her next of kin since nobody is coming for the money, is better we use it for profitable investment because i don't want this money to go back into government treasury as unclaimed fund.

You shall read more about the crash on visiting these website: http://html.koat.com/sh/news/stories/nat-news-20000201-133854.html

The Banking laws here does not allow such money to stay more than 9 years,because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund.

By indicating your interest I will send you the full details on how the business will be executed. Please delete if you are not interested.

Regards,

Mr. David Zuma.

Sincerely Yours,

I just received this one via email...

"Hello My Beloved One In Christ.

I greet you with the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, It is true that this letter may come to you as a surprise. Nevertheless, I humbly ask you to give me your attention and hear me well. My name is Mrs. Marcelin Edward from Australia. I am married to Dr.Edward who worked with our Embassy in Ivory Coast ( Cote D'ivoire ) for a period of 8years before he died . We were married for 9 years without a child before he died after a brief illness. Since his death I decided not to remarry due to my religious belief . When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$6.5m(Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State American dollars ) with a Bank in Cote D'ivoire. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank in Cote D'ivoire. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Four months due to cancer illness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this money to churchs, organisation or good person that will utilise this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want you to use this money for churchs, Charity organisation, orphanages, widows and other people that are in need. l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money . Moreover, my husband relatives are not close to me since I devolop a Cancer problem and it had been their wish to see me dead in order to inherit his wealth since we have no Child. These people are not worthy of this inheritance. This is why I am taking this decision.

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my ill-health. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the Bank in Cote d'ivoire where this money is deposited. I will also issue a letter of authorisation to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. I also want you to always put me in prayer.

Any delay in your reply may give me room to look for another good person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response soonest.

Thanks and Remain blessed .
Yours sister in the Lord,

Mrs. Marcelin Edward"
