You heard right. I just got this email, so it looks like I’m pretty much set from now on, as far as money goes…
My dear friend,
I am writing you with honesty over a project I want you to undertake on my behalf due to the deteriorating ill health (cancer ailment) which has totally weighed me down over years. When my late wife was alive we deposited a huge sum of money Hundreds of million in dollars (To be revealed to you later in confidence) which were derived from our vast estates and investment in crude oil market with a financial firm in europe.
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 my family, and me I have decided to will this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from our 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 trust over my relatives and partners. I do not want my hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I want you to stand as the new beneficiary to the funds. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful for me. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.
Yours sincerely,
Mahmoud Al Bashiru

Yes, he said “vast estates” and “barren-women” and “new beneficiary.” *sigh*
Oh happy day.
