Scam! or maybe not?

This one is a first for me

From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
No:36 Old Shrewberry Street,
London England.

Beloved,i am Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment.I
used to be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an Englishman who is dead and
resting peacefully. My husband was into private practice all his life
before he passed. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three
decades without offsprings. My husband died after a protracted illness in
an accident he got from Africa while on humanitarian duties. My
husband,while he was alive made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the
less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help
themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament.I can
adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from the marriage, which
never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million
Pounds (20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling)which were
derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his
bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently,
my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems I am suffering from.

Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the
cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to
donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my
husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,
destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women
and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or
invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be
misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of
death hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone
communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of
the presence of my husbands relatives around me. I do not want them to
know about this development because i want the money used for the Less
Previledged.

My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please assure me
that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you
soon.

Thanking you in advance for everything,

Sincerely yours,

Lady Rebecca Thatcher.

Oooooo, I can actually explain what these are... scams! :p

I recently read a book called "Gangs". Some author going around mainly London, and other countries and finding out about all sorts to do with gangs. Quite good, and worth a read. One of the chapters is about these emails.

Basically some bloke in another country sends the email. You reply, and they contact you back, sometimes by telephone to make it seem more legit. They will ask for money to "unlock" some cash thats in some bank somewhere.

They may even arrange to meet you if you take a flight out to some country (i think amsterdam is the current choice, or was when the book was written in 2004). They'll take you to a hotel room, try get more money, if you say no they either kill you, or beat you, etc. :)
