My wife and I decided to donate the sum of USD$500,000.00 to you as part of our charity project. My wife, Susan has cancer and she died at Colchester regional hospital, before she died we agreed to donate the remaining of our Billions to other individuals around the world who are in need and to be able to reach out to them.

The hospital where Susan had her cancer treatment and some other charitable organizations in Africa/Asia help fight against cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes. I am hospitalized and writing to you from the hospital’s computer, soon I will be joining my wife.

  1. I received this same email but I was awarded 5 million. Such liars. They even told me to Google his name.

  2. I only got 1.2 million. I make a habit of reporting phishing scams to those being spoofed, but I apparently cannot in this case.
