This scammer claims to represent the UK National Lottery, and states in the subject line of the email that I have "won".

It is a pity his email is in poor English, and that the address shows that he has sent it to a list of many people. These "subtle" clues, that and the fact that I don't play the lottery, lead me to conclude that it is of course a scam.

Please find the attactment I send to you
I will be waiting for your favorable respond.
Yours Faithful,
Mr.A.P.Chester

Advice to scammers, Viagra is not spelt "Viagara"!

Nul points to the moronic scammer who sent me this.

Aside from the fact that I don't have an Alliance and Leicester account, his fundamental mistake was misspelling the name of the bank in his email address:

Allaince & Leicester (onlineservices@allaince-leicester.co.uk)

Moron!

My advice to this scammer is simple; learn to spell "Rebecca" and write better English.

Dear Beloved ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ.I am Mrs. Rebaca Peters, the wife of Mr. William Peters, both of us, are citizens of the United State of America. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband diedafter a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) 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.

It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations and NGO 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 want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

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 hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. 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 mail.

Your's in Christ,

Mrs. Rebaca Peters
