Old Scam, New Twist
I don’t bother sharing most of these with you any more because we all get them, and they’re all totally fake. This one gave me a grin because she claims to be from Kuwait.
Dearest In Christ,
May God be praised!!!
I am Mrs. Fatima Iyesa Ismiana from Kuwait.
I married to Usman Ismiana of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in Madrid Spain for nine years before he died in the year 2003.
We were married for eleven years without a child he died after a brief illness that lasted only four days. Before his death he was a very devoted muslim and I was a devoted Christian by birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $15 million dollars (FIFTEEN million dollars) with an overseas finance and security firm.
Presently, this money is still with finance and security firm. Recently , my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer) that would last for the next four months.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness, having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Christian organization and a devoted Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want this Christian organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy bible.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child to start from and where I will stop and my husband’s relatives are all Muslims and I don’t want my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that call me an unbeliever. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I don’t need any telephone communications but will only give you the contact of my lawyer Barr Mike Williams because he is the one who is going to assist you in making you the beneficiary of the consignment in the finance and security firm.
Please direct your reply to my private mail: ismianafatima@yahoo.com.hk
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you. Amen.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs.Fatima Iyesa Ismiana.

Here There and Everywhere 
For someone who only has 4 months to live, she managed to email that same email on 16 Nov 2004 which is around over 4 years ago. You can find it here:

Hmm, very strange π
She is an amazing woman, as Don Veto points out.
And Fatima has always been one of my favorite Christian names π
I like this sentence
” I donβt want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision”
Unholy my Banana!
I recently got one supposedly from someone in Iraq with a similar situation.
Oh, Don Veto, I love it! You would think someone who had survived all her health problems for four years would mention it, wouldn’t you? π
Oh, Little Diamond, that made me laugh, too, along with the stroke illness on top of her terminating disease.
Yeh, Purg, I think that is one of the buttons he/she is trying to push. I wonder if Moslems get identical ones with the roles reversed?
Momcat, no kidding? What was his/her name?
She sure is one tough nut to survive all those years with her ‘terminating’ (not terminal?!) illness(es).
Would building casinos and bars using the $15 mil considered unholy? π
Well, Π― . . . she gives her e-mail address in the message. If you really really really want an answer, you could write and ask her! π
hmm… exceptional language skills she must have, since her email address is based in Hong Kong!
I also received such similar thing :p

I don’t remember, but the email address was from an American name. I forwarded it to AOLs fraud reporting address and deleted it.
LOL, Mimfoy, I didn’t even notice that! So she is Chinese-Kuwaiti but they were working in Spain.
OMG, BB, it is, it is almost exactly the same except aimed at Moslems!
Momcat – that’s the right thing. I only publish every now and then when something strikes me as particularly funny – like this one, who claims she is Kuwaiti, and Kuwait is a real small place when it comes to names – surely someone would know her, were she legitimate.
looooool
i bet the person was laughing his/her ass off while writing this
“ismiana” literally means “my name is”
hence the genuinely creative e-mail
“ismianafatima” – my name is fatima
evil evil woman/person/It
LLLOOOLLL, PG. How did I miss that?? And as Little Diamond pointed out, Fatima is not such a common Christian name, either. Oh wow. This was a good one.
