 Woo! Just received this email...  | | | | Quote: Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Irina Gustavo, a devoted Christian from Iceland who was married to Late Engr. Philip Gustavo {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Saudi Arabia for 19 years before he died on the 25th of August, 2008. Before his death, he deposited the sum of 6,143,728.00 US Dollars with a bank In Canada.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith by setting up a charity organization.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you as the present beneficiary of this money. Please contact me via my email address on the subject.
Await your responds and God bless you.
Mrs. Irina Gustavo

You really had me excited with the title of this thread. I was thinking "Winner, he's figured out the new flat etc." Aren't I an optimistic idiot

Oli - I would take particular care with this one.
Whilst she seems a nice, genuine lady, I've heard that schemes like this are sometimes scams??
If you give me a small retainer of £3000, I can investigate this claim, and deliver the 6,000,000 to you in about 4 weeks minus a 6.7% commission?
