My Beloved One.

 

Firstly, By way of introduction, my name is Ms. Linah Mohohlo from Botswana. I was the governor of the Bank of Botswana (1999-2016) you may kindly view the link and read about me. (https://www.rhinoconservationbotswana.com/team-linah-kelebogile-mohohlo/).  I served in a number of operational and policy areas, including secretarial, human resource management, economic research and reserves management. Please I know this may come to you as a surprise because you do not know me but I sincerely need your assistance urgently because of my present health condition. This is the reason why I write to you on a personal level and through divine direction. It is my desire to have a genuine personal relationship with you.

 

I deposited the sum of US $10.5M (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) with a Finance/bank presently in South Africa where I reside now. These funds came as a result of an over-invoiced contract which I executed with the Bank of Botswana. Though I am the person who approved this contract but I honestly never knew at the time that it had been over invoiced. To avoid any eyebrow raised on the over invoiced fund, I took the decision to deposit the fund in a safe account presently with the Standard Bank of South Africa.

 

I suffer from cancer and recently my Doctor informed me that due to my poor health condition I would not be able to stay alive past the next three months due to the cancer. Nonetheless what disturbs me mostly is the stroke I suffered. Having known my condition, I decided to donate these funds to an individual with a beautiful soul that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.

 

I only need your honesty to assure me that this funds will be used to fund any charitable organization around you; churches, Mosques, NGOs, orphanages, research centers or widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives, I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit a portion of this fund; but my son child cannot carry out this work alone. I therefore decided to use some of the money to work for God and leave some for my son to have a better future.

 

My only son is only just 15 years old now and having to grow up without a father, he has low maturity, hence the reason for me taking this bold decision to ask for your assistance to help me receive this fund and thus carry out my wish. I am not afraid of death as 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 case and I shall hold my peace.

 

I would like you to reply me and tell me if you can help me with my wish. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you more information about the fund and hence the contact information of the Finance/bank where change of ownership will be processed to your favor to carry out my wish. 
 
Ms. Linah Mohohlo and only Son Favor.

To be fair it's mainly shots of me practicing buffering. It's on all the porn sites so must be popular but the wife never seems too impressed. I think it's her doing it wrong actually but I don't say anything as she can be a bit sensitive.

Linah was sending out the same letter over three years ago so I think the three months to live is bullshit.

I'm scared that my mum in her 70s will fall for one of these email scams even though I warn her all the time. I monitor her emails regularly and delete all the suspect ones.

I'm with you on that, although my 85year old does just seem to laugh at them at the moment...

Guess my spam filter is doing its job well as i never get unsolicited mail,only from companies i have bought stuff off or signed up to mailing lists.

Got one a few years ago saying that there were 2 Nigerian astronauts stranded on the International Space Station for over 1 year. The Nigerian space agency didn’t have enough money to pay for fuel to get them home. If you send the a few hundred dollars towards the fuel you will receive a percentage of their back dated wages worth millions of dollars. 

That one certainly tickled me.

I get loads from Penis enlargement companies, but that’s because I gave them my email address for when they have offers on their products. Well, I’d be stupid to pay full price wouldn’t I?

Sounds like you would now have a draw full of magnifying glasses.

You really have to wonder how people could fall for these very obvious messages.

A couple of my email contacts got messages from me saying that my GF and I were robbed and stranded in KL and please WU money to me there.

Now my GF name was right, we had been to KL many times BUT one contact was my son, who knew we were in Hong Kong, and the other was a friend who has no money. BUT if the right contact had been chosen, it was at least believable. I couldnt work out how they were going to collect WU in MY name in KL, unless they had an accomplice in the WU office though.

i read an analysis from somebody that said they are intentionally written to look that way, as the people that they are aimed at would not see the obvious fraud
