Dear Beloved

Now the Swiss?

Quote:
Dear Beloved,

My name is Mrs. Salomeli Acheampong, I am 48 Years old Born and brought up in Canton Zurich, Switzerland. Last year i experience restlessness and sleepless nights so my Doctor in Zurich, Switzerland sent me on a general Medical Check up which i was finally diagnosed to have cancer of the Lungs. So my Doctor fly me back to my country Switzerland. My late husbands brother wanted me dead so that he will inherit all my wealth i suffered to build. As a Christian i rather donate my money to the less privilege, orphanage homes and the Church than allow wicked people to take all when i die. Lately I discovered that my late husband?s relation know about the deposited money and their are happy that I will soon die so that they can take the money, so I will give the claim information to you before I pass on to glory.

I will give you all the details that will assist you in getting the Funds deposited with the security Company. I deposited the total of US$8,500.000.00 (Eight million five hundred united states dollars) in cash in a sealed consignment Box in disguise as (Church Evangelical Materials/Family valuables). This means that the Security Company staff does not know that the Consignment Box contains the cash to avoid Vitalization or theft until the given duration. I will send you the Claim documents (Deposit Certificate and Agreement Bond) and the contact information of the Security Company where the money is deposited in Disguise, I want to have an assurance from you that even when I die,you will not use the money wrongly and will do your best to get it from the security Company in Accra Ghana. I will die happily if I know you will use my funds in a manner pleasing to humanity when you get it.

I have to rest now as this email took me 2 hours to write due to my unusual weakness. Please pray for me my dear and respond urgently to my email so that I can be able to conclude the inheritance Hand over Authorization before I die. I anxiously await your response my dear.

May you be blessed, as you reach me a.salomeli@yahoo.com.

Best Regards,

Mrs. Salomeli Acheampong.

Sounds legit. Acheampong is a common name in Switzerland. Lots of Swiss names end in “pong”.

Friendlier than mine. I got an extortion one where the sender said they had taken control over my laptop camera and taken some video footage of me **** while looking at online p0rn. And are going to send a copy to all my friends if I don't pay blah blah with bitcoins.

Sounds fun. I hope I get a copy of it sent to me as well.

The name certainly doesn't sound Swiss.

Irish or Japanese, perhaps?

The most common Swiss surname is Muller. It does not end in 'pong'.

Apparently there is an arrest warrant open for me. I got the notice on my cell so I wrapped it in aluminum foil to keep them from finding me!

Is that so the "local cops" can say "Curses, foiled again!"?

They'll find you. Might as well just give yourself up. You could have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.

Wasn't the original controller a spin knob with no buttons? (rheostat type i think)

Because of all the ping pong champions from there.

Muller is #1, ending with pong is #2

They won't take up much space, I'm sure you'll receive it in million dollar bills.

Sounds more Thai, but I Googled the surname and it is from Ghana.

Received an email last week for some nonsense about local authorities having an arrest warrant out for me . Tons of mispelled words with sentences that made little sense . I wonder how many folks fall for this crap ?
