I've just received email which was clearly meant for Chico, so I am posting it here:

Evangelist Linda Mike(Widow).

Calvary greetings in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, I am
Evangelist Linda Mike, The daughter of Late
Sherrif Kindimbu
from Weste Africa Nigeria.

I am 34years old,my mother
is From England,while my father
is from Nigeria,I am an half cast
(White Girl) I married to
Late John from England, I am now a new
christian
convert,suffering from long time liver problem.

>From all
indications, my condition is serious and according
to my doctor it is
quite obvious that I may not survive the
sickness,although as a
christain,I beleive God and I know
that I will not die,I will leave to
declare the glory of
God. My late Husband Late Mr.John Mike is From
England,he
and my only son was killed by his family members,because he
does not agree with them, I am presently leaving alone.Our
Lord Jesus
Christ is my comforter.

After the death of my husband,I made up my
mind to travel
abroad to leave the rest of my life and continue to do
the
work of God as a missionary.I called our lawyer and I
instructed
him to sell all my Husbandproperties and shares
to enable me raise some
money to conitue my mission.

The lawyer sold the Shares and some of
the properties and he
was able raise the sum of ($15,500,000.00(Fifteen
Million
Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)The fund is in cash,for the
safety of the fund till am able to travel out,he packaged
the fund in
consignments deposited it with UNITED BANK FOR
AFRICA UBA PLC.

Presently,all the documents concerning the FUND are with me,
Now that
my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared and
I want the fund to
be used for the work of God all over the
world. I have prayed and I
told God to direct me to an
honest christain who will receive this fund
and utilise it
for things that will glorify the name of God After my
prayers,I searched the christian site in the internet,I
found your
email address and contacted you.

Please if you are interested in using
this Fund for the work
of God,please send to me your privatephone and
fax number
full names and address to [email protected] to
enable me direct you to my late Husband lawyer for
immediate
arrangement with the UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA on how
the Fund will be
claimed by you on my Late Husbands Behalf
as his Next of Kin and New
Beneficiary
I await to here your urgent reply.

Thanks and God bless
you.

Evangelist Linda Mike(Widow).

Africa. At risk of being politically incorrect, again, it appears to be from Africa and other tulipe third world countries/sub cultures where much of the crappy superstitious Evangelist Christianity spreading in Britain is coming from. Check Evangelist websites. It is a pity that the last 300 years advance in European civilisation towards a secular society based on individual freedom is being so totally unravelled.

IMO a charge of "attempt to obtain money and/or other benefits by deception" is in order - I mean: they use totally fictitious character verification of which (his existance and alleged qualities) can never be proven to any good court's satisfaction.
