Dearest in the lord,
I am Rosaline Jacobs from Sierra Leone but living in Togo, My late husband deposited the sum of $1.2 Million (USD) dollars in a Local Bank here &. I have being diagnosed with esophageal cancer and having known my conditions now; I have decided to donate this fund to a person that will utilize it for charity purposes. I want you to use it for orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of God. Assure me that you will handle it well and reply me at rosaline_jacobs2@yahoo.com for more details. Thanks & remain blessed in the Lord.
Mrs. Rosaline Jacobs
Rosaline is for real, she's on the up and up. I wired her $500 this afternoon to pay for a $1.2m money transfer to my bank account. The bank is closed today so she can't deposit it until tomorrow. If you snooze you loose so I had to do it today before some else beat me to it.
I always respond to these scams by asking them to call me and help me make sure I'm sending the money correctly. Then I give them the phone number of the F.B.I. = (202) 324-3000
