More scam email

Just so you can see the variety, or lack thereof...a friend told me yesterday that these scammers feel they are justified in stealing money from people. Odd, but in truth, a lot of people who steal are able to tell themselves they're justified. A justification is just a marshaling of certain concepts as necessary facts and placing them in contrast to any given situation. So of course, you can justify anything as long as you start with certain things that justify what you believe, i.e., employ circular logic. Oh, how I know people who do that...

Here writes Madam Susana Kadrlik Cole, suffering from cancerous ailment. When my late husband was alive he the sum of 5Million (Five Million Pound Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with International Finance Corporation(IFC) here in UK. Presently, the investment potfolio is still on till 2013.

It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

And another...

Dear Friend,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met.
After searching through your country's Chamber of Commerce and industry
here in Dubai I am contacting you to assist me, I have to say that I
have no intentions of causing you any pains as you read this.

I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will
die someday.
My name is Mr. Thomas Grey, a merchant in London, but presently taking
treatment in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. now. I have been
diagnosed with Prostate and Esophageala cancer that was discovered very
late due to my uncaring attitude for my health. It has defiled all form of
medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live
according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I
am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and
only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than
just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God
gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a
different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is
near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my
immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close
friends. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to
be one of the last good deeds I did on earth.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the
United Arab Emirates, London and Ireland. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked
members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money which I
have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept
the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit that l have with
security firm abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and
dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I
Thomas Grey that is making this generous donation. I am writing this
from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to
come.

You can reply me through my private email address:
thomas_grey7@yahoo.co.uk

As soon as l received your sincere response l shall hence disclose all vital details to you.
I pray for you to support and assist me with good heart.

Be blessed my beloved,

Thomas Grey.
