Have you received an email from "Mrs.Hiromi Suka" telling you how she and her late husband "were without child" and now she is dying of cancer? The email, filled with endless religious references, gushing about her love for God and Jesus, but ultimately tells you
"It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.".
Wow, doesn't oit make you want to rush to the bank, singing "Kumbaya, My Lord", the whole way? And isn't it nice that she randomly selected you, half a world away, to take her money before she dies, and so you can put it to good use (usually helping orphans, the homeless and handicapped) 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, for them to get hit by a large bus, but certainly don't pity them or contact them.

Subject: Dear Beloved One !!!
From: charity@mrshiromisuka.orgDear Beloved One.
It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. hiromi suka, the wife of Mr. Mayany Suka, I am a citizens of japan. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $13,000,000.00 (Thirteen Million United States Dollars with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to conclude this, reach me on my private mail:(mrs.hiromisuka_info1971@yahoo.com.hk)
Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister
Mrs.Hiromi Suka
