Hello,
I am Mrs. Carolyn Trowells a widow and a british citizen living in Ishikawa
Japan. I lost my family (Husband and Kid) almost 4 years ago. I was a
victim of
the quake disaster that happened in Ishikawa Japan.

My late husband before his demise,deposited the sum of £7.5 Million Pounds
(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Finance & Trust Company in
Europe. I just received a message from the company stating that I am the sole
beneficiary to this deposited funds.And that, the funds are in a dormat status
and needs to be active/operational so as to enable them release and transfer
this funds to me as soon as possible.

I am presently in a hospital in Ishikawa Japan receiving medical treatment.
Due to my deteriorating state of health, I am not sure I will be able to
survive because I feel so much pain in my upper chest region. I am contacting
you to help me carry out my last wishes.I have so much faith in you and for
this reason,I am entrusting this huge responsibility on you.

1. I want you to claim on my behalf, the deposited funds.
2. I want you to build an orphanage home in your country with part of
the funds.
3. I want you to fund churches,mosques,less priviledges and the needy most
especially orphanage homes and widows.

Finally,you are to document all expenses incured during the
transaction.And you
are to reimburse yourself as soon as the funds are transfered to you.I took
this decision because it is blessed to give than to receive. I don't want a
situation where this money will be used to carry out nefarious activities.I
urge you to get back to me on this and also hoping to hear that you
are willing
and ready to help me.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Xiang Li (Bed assistant).
for
Mrs.Carolyn Trowells

The best suggestion would be to get (or use) an email client (Mozilla Thunderbird is one option) that has a good anti-spam filter - this will take out most of these types of email and certainly reduce the amount in your inbox. Additionally (or alternatively) you may speak to your local computer engineer (or systems administrator) about applying filter rules to your existing client (if you're not sure how to do this).

The main thing is to ensure that you do not publish or post your email address anywhere on the internet - especially guest books, open blog areas, personal web pages etc. since there are many spam address trawling 'bots' (programs that generate a constant search of all available web pages and sites on the internet). You can check for your email address by entering it within double quotes (i.e. "myname@myaddress.com") within your preferred search engine. If you have a large number of results, then it's time to consider changing it. Also ensure that your email address remains private, and that you only give it to those individuals you trust.
