A reader named George had an exchange with one of these scammers. His comments in Blue
Dear Friend i have been suffering from ovarian cancer disease,
I am Mrs. Tracy Kovo, I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/churches/ motherless babies/less privileged/widows.I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for good work of God. I have asked God to forgive me and believe he has because he is a merciful god I will be going in for an operation soon .
I decided to WILL/donate the sum of 3.1 million dollars to you for the good work of God, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives (That have squandered the funds I gave them for this purpose before) are around me and my health status also. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware.
I wish you all the best and may the good God bless you abundantly, and please use the Funds judiciously and always extend the good work to others. As soon you get back to me, I shall give you info on what I need from you then you will contact the bank and tell them I have willed those properties to you by quoting my personal file ROUTING and account information. and I have also notified the bank that I am willing that properties to you for a good, effective and prudent work. I know I dont know you but I have been directed to do this by God

Sir, The most important reason why i choose to contact you is for you to kindly take the below responsibilities to save me and my
inheritance.

2. You are responsible to provide any bank account for the transaction (either empty bank a/c or operational current a/c.)
3. After the transaction has been fully completed, you are obliged to assist me re-locate to your country.

Try and get this money from the bank of Africa and use it to build an orphanage home in your country, i hope you are a GOD fearing person? And do not inform any one about it, let GOD be praise not man you will succeed if you keep it within your self as a secret before the fund enters your account, take my words and let GOD be with you.
Well i may not live to see the day that will come tomorrow, but GOD knows every thing.
Please i want you to do all in your power to make sure that you received this money from the (Bank Of Africa) and do as i have told you to help my soul rest with GOD.
You are to contact the bank so that the bank will transfer the money to you as i have instructed them that any body, who came in receipt of the fund and provide the necessary information about me, should be the person that they will transfer the fund to.
I pray that GOD should give you the strength to proceed, please i beg you in the name of God, do not be discourage, no matter what, i will always be with you in spirit before you accomplish my dreams, note that you are my hope of making the chance to be with GOD.
Finally send a mail to the bank and let them know the following procedure, regarding all i have instructed you to do with my money; i may not live to read your email again because my condition is getting worst. Do this to help my soul rest with GOD.
I wish you the best in life and success, and may the GOD be with you in any thing you do and any were you go, please do this alone dont tell any one about this, only GOD know how to reward me.
