Have you received an email from "Melanie Megan" filled with endless religious references, gushing about her love for God and Jesus, but ultimately telling you "I feel it will be legally proper to donate this fund to you to utilize in propagating the word of God and in building orphanage homes for less privileged people.". It is nothing but a scam, along with a healthy dose of gibberish, spelling errors, terrible gram, syntax and punctuation, not exactly befitting an extremely wealthy person, let alone a godly one.
Of course, it is a scam. Don't reply to it. Pray for the scammers forgiveness, perhaps, or even better, a terminal case of VD, but certainly don't pity them or contact them.

My names are Mrs. Melanie Megan, I am the widow of Late Dr. Morgan Megan who is a business man, we were married for 22 years without a child and he died last year after a brief illness.
Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my health condition (cancer of the lever and stroke) having known my present health condition there is a deep secret which I want to share with you in full confidentiality as a co-worker in Gods vineyard.
Before my husband died last year he had a banquets at a Trust Company valued at ($3.400.000 us dollars) Having known my health condition, I feel it will be legally proper to donate this fund to you to utilize in propagating the word of God and in building orphanage homes for less privileged people.
I am therefore, inviting you to partner with me in this strategic ministry to handle the funds the way I have stated herein, and I also want you to always remember me in your prayers for my up coming Cancer Surgery.
Please any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose; I expect your favourable response urgently, indicating your full interest to this ministry partnership.
In Christ
Mrs. Melanie Megan.
