I hate dragging up old threads but I didn't want to start a new one on a subject that was already being discussed. I actually checked my mail today (Which I rarely do.) and found one I hadn't seen before. This one is apparently "from Sierra Leon"

From Mrs Sandra Dickson
Abidjan Cote Divoire
Dearest in the lord
I am Mrs Sandra Dickson an Sierra Leon nationality . I am married to late Mr Emmanuel Dickson, who worked with Sierra Leon Embassy in Ivory Coast for 9 years before he died in the year 2006 after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a daughter (Lilian)who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$3.5 M ( Three Million, Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the bank.
Recently, following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next six months due to my cancer ailment. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like, Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained. 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 husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my 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 know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my battle and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you as the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life as a worthy Christian. Whoever wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in searching another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Sandra Dickson

I might be wrong, but I think the header and footer allude to the person being in Canada. This is the response I sent
Dear Ms. Dickson,
I'm sorry to inform you that PDXUSA has banned all trade with overseas countries like Canada. Please inform your fellow scammers so that they don't make the same mistake.
Yours Truely

Anyhow, I got a giggle out of this and thought you might as well.
