Received in an email this morning. Will be marking as spam very shortly. Thought I would share with everyone here before I did so.
Any ideas on who this really is? These people need to be stopped.



NAME:Williams Cole
Occupation:Merchant/Businessman

Dear FRIEND,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,
because,I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Williams Cole and I was born in Scotland,
United Kingdom but now reside in England on treatment
for I have been diagnosed with OESOPHAGEAL CANCER.

It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really
cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I
am very rich,I was never generous, I was always hostile to
people and only focused on my business as that was the
only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now
know that there is more to life than just wanting to have
or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come
to this world I would live my life a different way from
how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I
have willed and given most of my property and assets
to my immediate and extended family members as well
as a few close friends.I want God to be merciful to me
and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I do on earth.So far, I have distributed money to
some charity organizations in the U.K, Algeria and
Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly,
I cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts and distribute the money which I have
there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Somalia,
they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence,
I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the
cash deposit of Ten Million Great Britain Pounds
£10,000,000 that I have with a Bank right here in the
United Kingdom.I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatch it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 30% for you and for your time.Please
reply to my Email so i can send you
my pictures and also the contact Details of my Personal
Attorney who will be helping you through this process
of transferring the funds to you.Please you will have to
promise me that I can trust in you even when i die to carry
this task out.

I will be expecting your Response as soon as Possible.

God be with you.

Williams Cole.

Yes this is a variant of the 419 scam but instead of playing to peoples greed it plays to their charity.

If this was replied to people would get photos stolen from a dying man's blog during his last days. Like the original 419 scam there will be problems come up that only sending money will solve and when one problem is sorted another will pop up that also needs money to solve and so on until the scammer can extract no more money.

Thank you. I knew it was a scam, but also knew there was no use in me google-ing the name. Chances were I would come up with the pictures. And no real info. It is cruel that they do this......
