Religious Spam

[Kyuuketsuki]

For the first time in quite a long time I have had some religious spam ... the last time that happened was because some religious cretin I argued with signed me up to a load of religious e-mail lists so I have my suspicions (this is the only atheism forum I'm active in) but do not know for sure yet.

This is what I got:

Faithfulness in God !!!,

God will grant you the willingness and interest to digest this humble narrations though it might be so surprise and strange to
believe my story but i knew by the reason of the almighty you will humbly understood and accept to proceed with my proposal
though we have not met or seen each other before.

My name is Mrs.Samanta Krossa a widow to Mr. Carbry Krossa who was a competent business man here in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire , we
were married for many yrs without any child till his death in October 2005 after a brief illness. Due to the promise which i
revered to him on the alter at the day of our church wedding i decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which is against the holy bible.

My happiness is that my late husband lived a life of a true & worthy Christian and he has this plan before his death which he
pleaded with me to appropriate it to accomplishment. He took this decision with me to use this fund in building an orphanage in
his name that will accommodate thousand's of children, and also to use part of this fund in helping the less fortunate and to
spread the gospel of the lord to the remote places of the world.

He made this deposit of $( 5.4 Million )USD Five million four hundred thousand in a Finance Security Company here in Abidjan .
Recently, my Doctor told me that i would not last for the next 5 months due to cancer & stroke illness.
Having known my condition i decided to seek for a competent and reliable God fearing person or church to entrust this fund to
utilize this fund the way i narrated above as my late husband desired.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth". I took this decision because i don't have any child
that will inherit this money and my late husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my late husband's efforts to
be used by unbelievers.

I don't 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 don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health
hence the presence of my husband's relatives are around me always. i don't want them to know about this development.

As soon as i receive your reply i shall give you the relevant documents that will legalize you to have access over this fund. I
will also issue you an affidavit that will proove you the present beneficiary of this fund in the Finance Security Company. I
want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.

My happiness is that i and my late husband lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve
him in spirit and Truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life and pray to God to forgive me my sins. any delay in your reply will give me
room in sourcing for another church or a God fearing person for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as i stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.

Your's Sister In Christ,
Mrs.Samanta Krossa.

Total yawnsville obviously but my automatic instinct was to tell her (if indeed her it is) where to shove her sermonising spam but I decided to ask whether you guys can suggest a cleverer way to handle it.

"She" may well be reading this as you are for all I know.

It's just a variation of the Nigerian letter. They just threw in a lot of religious jargon so people who do believe are more inclined to go along.

I would send the same letter back, but, use an atheist twist.
