Hello,
My name is Mrs.Jennifer Wilson I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to the you for the good work of God,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and i believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation,and i pray that i survive the operation.
I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000(One million five hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and i have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because i deserve all thee rest i can get.Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address: [email protected] if you are interested,so that he can arrange the release of the funds ($1,500,000.00) to you. I know I have never met you but I have been directed to do this by God,and i hope you act sincerely.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished,as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish, due to the fact that i do not want relatives or family members standing in the way of my last wish.
Love,
Jennifer Wilson |
She's not a woman to piss off is she? So I respond stating my concerns abouher family's claim to the estate.

Lawyer,
I received an email from Ms. Jennifer Wilson asking me to contact you. She did not tell me your name so I don't know what else to call you.
Jenny spoke of willing me the sum of $1.5 million, not wanting it to go to her family. When my parents passed away, the estate was left to us children, and their relatives brought a lawsuit against the estate, which they won. Won't this happen with the estate of Ms. Wilson? I prefer to not get involved if in the end I have nothing to show for my time wasted.
I guess I am asking for reassurance that my time and money will no be wasted. How are these relatives related to Ms. Wilson? Please be honest as the closer they are to Ms. Wilson the more of a claim they have to her estate.
These are my main concerns. My involvement will depend on your answers.

I would advise that you make the payment through western union money transfer with my name (BROWN WALTER) in order for me to facilitate the obtainance of the affidavit and the transfer of the funds to your account.
I would like to also notify you that Mrs.Jennifer Wilson has gone through two surgery now and her situation is not getting better.She would highly appreciate your prayers for her and wish her the best in another operation which will be carried out today.

As I said in the help forum, you Brits have the greatest banks! I didn't even have to give an address or phone number and I was approved.

Brownie,
I realize I am a little late in my response. A bunch of bats somehow found their way into my warehouse. They scared the hell out of my wife Harley, and I had to spend the rest of the day driving them out. I suspect it is the work of my competitor, Bruce Wayne. He's always trying to stop me from succeeding. One day I'll get him, ha ha ha ha ha.
I am a little confused. If the bank released the funds that were willed to me, why do I need an affadavit? Why does it cost so much? Can't the $1,000 just come out of her estate?
I'm also very concerned for Jenny. The release of funds before her death implies to me that she is in terrible health and is not long for this world. Why is she being made to suffer surgery after surgery? I have an antidepressant called Smylenol that I guarantee will keep her happy and smiling even through death. It made all the news in Gotham City back in 1989.
I wish I didn't have to ask so many questions. It seems like the doctors are taking advantage of Jenny at her weakest moment and prolonging her agony while getting rich off it.
Get back to me with any updates you might have.

Like i explained to you in my last mail that i have to obtain an affidavit from the british court of law, which i have to tender to the bank so that they can release and transfer the funds to you.
Kindly get back to me with the payment of 1,000 pounds so that i can obtain the affidavt stating you are now the beneficiary so that the funds can be transferred to you.
Sincerely,
Brown Walter |
One of the few true things that I tell him is that I never have used Western Union. So I ask for an explanation.

Briwn,
In your previous email, you recommended that I send the money via Western Union. As I have never used it before, please explain to me how it works. Don't I need to send the money to a specific location? Or are you saying I can just send it to Brwon Walter and you can pick it up anywhere in the world? Also, given that I am in America, will they be able to automatically convert dollars to pounds or will I need to figure that out myself?
Please give Jenny my best. Remind her that she's brought a smile to this clowns heart.

I want to explain how you can make the payment from america. Call any western union agent near you or check the internet for the nearest western union office near you.
When you arrive there, the information they require from you is the name of the receiver, address, location and destination country.Then you tell them the receive has to receive 1,000 pounds and they will tell you how much you need to pay in dollars.Then after the payment they will give you a code number, which you have to send to me in order for me to pick the funds here in london,UK.
Below are my informations you need to make the payment via western union money transfer.
NAME FOR PAYMENT: BROWN WALTER
ADDRESS: 4 sybil phonix close, SE8 5BA
COUNTRY: UNITED KINGDOM
I await your confirmation.
Sincerely,
Brown Walter |
At this point I decide to put some scare into him. I'm trying to set him up, but it doesn't really work out the way I planned.

Bronw:
My good friend Clark Kent has agreed to fly over to the United Kingdom himself to take care of the affadavit for me. If I could please have the pertinent information of Jenny's estate I can take all the worry out of your hands.
Thanks for your help in this matter,

ok.Thats fine by me.
I am Jennifer's attorney and i have told you all that is required for the release of the funds and it is my duty to see that you receive the funds.Any for lawyer and client confidentiality i can not release infrmation about my client rather than to see that you receive the funds.
ou can have your friend obtain the documents for you since you well pleased.
Have a nice day!!
Sincerely, |
First he drops the Barrister line, now he doesn't even sign his emails. So I try to get him back on my hook, throwing in a little slap just in case he really doesn't come back. Because I have to slap him at least once right?

Brwon,
Wilson is a very common last name while only one name is more common for women than Jennifer. Surely were my friend to ask for an affadavit for one Jennifer Wilson they would ask which one.
I admire you sticking by your confidentiality with your client, which is why I will give you a chance to explain what I don't admire: your charges.
The reason I wanted to go with Mr. Kent is because he explained to me that an affadavit in the UK costs only 10 pounds. Don't try to insist otherwise, the proof is here:
http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/publications/guidance/fees/probfee.htm
Now, I do not deny that you have the right to make money for your services, but you have raised the price 10,000%! The fact of the matter is that it is cheaper for me to buy a plane ticket to London for my friend and have him purchase the affadavit.
If you were to lower your price to something far more reasonable, I would reconsider doing business with you. Otherwise, I will simply wait for word from the bank that Jenny has passed (You did give them my email address, right?) and that I can work with them to get the 10 pound affadavit.
