An email from an advance fee scammer:

Although beloved in Christ,
  
I am Sister Martine Zago, Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Dea Tacita end Zago, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast during twenty-six years before his death in 2006, after a brief illness that lasted only five days. We have been married for eighteen years with a daughter (Tonia), which later died in a car accident.

[Nice, a Christian married to an Ambassador.  Widow and loss of child.  Great opening]
  
Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get me a child outside my matrimonial home against which the Bible. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum (U.S. $ 7.5m) (Seven million five hundred thousand United States dollars) in a bank here.

[So the sex in the matrimonial home is rocking, then?  Cool, you should publish your home adress.]
  
Recently, after my poor health, my doctor told me that I can not take the next eight months because of my problem of cancer. Whether it bothers me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund for a Christian organization (Church) that will use this money the way I am going to instruct here, according to the wish of my late husband before his death.

[You have a stroke and are competent to manage your affairs?  Which have been decided by your late husband?  Hmm]
 
I want this fund to be used in activities such as Christian, orphanages, Christian schools, churches and spread the word of God and this vacuum the house of God is updated.

[I have no doubt this fund will vacuum the somebody's funds.]
  
The Bible made us understand that "Blessed is the hand that gives." I took this decision because I do not have a child who will inherit this money and my husband these parents are not Christians and I do not want the efforts of my husband being used by non-believers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in a manner impío. That is why I take this decision.

[I believe, I believe, why I believe in something.  Perhaps I believe in a manner impio?]
  
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I go. I know I will be in the bosom of the Lord. The exodus 14 to 14 said that "Mr. fight against me and hold my peace." I do not need a call in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband and family around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

[Your family is dead and they are screening your calls?  Indeed, with God all things are possible.]
  
As soon as I receive your reply I give you in touch with the bank in Abidjan. He also publish documents showing that the beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church always asks for me because the Lord is my Shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy Christian. For whom he wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. 

[I just bet I will get the "touch with the bank".  Fraid, I don't need that sort of touch.]
