African Scams

Looks like I've started getting African scam letters on my email account for this blog. I thought these things had died out years ago, but I guess the fact that they're still around means that enough people are still getting tricked. This one refers to me as "DEAREST ONE OF GOD" , and is from a woman whose dead husband's name is Mr. Benson...This one seems pretty poorly crafted though, in fact, it doesn't even give clear instructions for what the person is supposed to do. I think she might be asking me to build her a church...

I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don抰 have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don抰 want my husband抯 efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don抰 want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information抯, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.

I guess it's important to remember that all of these people who fall for these scams are the same people who are voting in elections, taking part in the democratic process, believing whatever they hear from their politicians, or their ministers. Makes me think that maybe I should consider starting a "church"...
