We recieved an email in our church's email address that was part of the "Nigerian Advance Fee Scam" the email was from
"Elizabeth Alamin"
elizabeth4christ@fsmail.net it went as follows:
Brethren,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs
Litoma mohammed alamin, now Mrs Elizabeth Alamin,
a widow to Late Sheik
Mohammed Alamin, I am 62years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering
from long time
cancer of the breast. From all indications,my condition is
really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live
more than
six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of
our marriage we had a son who was also
killed in a cold blood during the
Gulf war. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited
all his
business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not
live for more than six months and I am so scared about
this. So, I now decided
to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism
in Africa, America,
Europe and Asian Countries. This mission which will
no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa
where
I live presently. I selected your church after visiting the website
for this purpose and prayed overit, I am willing to
donate the sum of $2,000,000.00
MILION US Dollars to your Church/Ministry via you for the development of
evangelism
and also as aids for the less privileged around you.
Please note that, this fund is lying in a Safe Keeping in
my country (U.A.E)and the company has branches, therefore
my lawyer will
file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name
of your ministry. Please, do
not reply me if you have the intention of using
this funds for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism.
Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying fo me as regards my entire
life and my health because I have come to
find out since my spritual birth
lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christin one's life is vanity
upon vanity.
If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give
you the crown of life.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. I
await your urgent reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Elizabeth Alamin.

I reported this email to the US Secret Services who is covering this scam along with Nigerian officials. I believe this
is very bad. It started out they attacked normal people but now it seems that they have started attacking churches.
