Thank you for pointing that out, I guess I didn't do as good a job as I thought proof reading it.
Although, the assumption would normally be "did you mean WEB not WED ??", then I definitely couldn't misconstrue it for something else.
But again, thanks for the tip.
Cheers.

Here's a new one (at least one I haven't received before):
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the
truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God
for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies
and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Evelyn Alexandra,the wife of Mr.Robert Alexander,both of us are
citizens of the united state of America. my husband worked with the
Chevron/Texaco in Hong Kong for twenty years before he died in the year 2003.
We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got
born-again
as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds
(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently,
this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the
beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary
of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED
or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come
over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in Hong Kong where I have been undergoing
treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my
doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last
wish to
see this money distributed to charity organizations and NGO anywhere in the
World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to
any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the
beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.I want a person that is
God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took
this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money
and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
manner.Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of
death
since I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the
bossom of
the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14: says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around
me always. I don't want them to know about this development.I await your
quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds
transferred before my Death.Please my beloved for further communication on
how
we are going to conclude this,Remain Blessed.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Evelyn Alexandra.

Copy of Email sent:
Dear Mr Young,
My local Office of Western Union has now advised me that a full investigation has been started and authorities notified that a Fraud may have been committed, in that the receiver of the funds was not authorized to receive said funds.
Western Union stated, that unless the money is returned, they will cease all overseas payments to that office until they clear things up.
I have contacted a Solicitor friend of mine who has advised me that there is sufficient grounds to recover the initial amount in question, costs and punitive damages from Western Union or your Organization.
I would advise you to look closely at certain members of your office as persons or person may be defrauding your organization.
I remain, yours truly,

I had my Malay wife look at the address, first she noted that Penang is spelt wrong, only one N and although the other words are typical Malay no amount of playing with the words brought up a real address. Not that I expected them to be so stupid as to give their real address, but you never know.

Dear friend,
I am Mr Mitchell Lemon but now undergoing medical treatment in London, England.I worked with British Drilling Corporation East London for over a decade I married for fifteen years without a child. my wife died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks.I vow to use my wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since the doctor had comfirmed my situation that I will not live long I have decided to give out my money to the poor. Deposited the sum of 120 Million (One Hundred and Twenty Million Pounds sterling) with my Bank. Presently, this money is still there. Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 15 days due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia and the Hurricane Katrina Disasters.I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner I will not like and I also do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason
for taking this bold decision.I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Almighty.I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my relatives around me always.
I do not want them to know about this development.
with God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue them a letter of authority and change of ownership certificate,that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,through my Lawyer. I want you to always
pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein.Hoping to hear from you at my private email:mrmitchelllemon@9.cn
Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
God Bless You,
MR MITCHELL LEMON
The funny thing is, when I Google the name, I get this, but his "private email" gets no hits. However, the email address at the top is apparently a real person.
Also funny is I didn't know there were doctors that could narrow your time of death down to 15 days.

This thread has everything for someone willing to read it. The messages sent are rife with errors, the replies and nose pulling are entertaining and if those sending the messages ever wise up and find this thread, they'd have a step by step guide to improve their scams. :-\
Not Likely to happen though. Keep up the posts, I enjoy reading how the exchanges go.
