Karen Shaw: "I Will Help" (Except that this is a Fraud Email

This is an amusing email if not a pathetic one. It is so badly written that you wouldn't believe it for a second! (We did not change a thing in the letter.) Then again some desperate people probably would.

Would you reply to an old woman who claims to have been in investments and "co-oporate" (corporate?) business and not know how to spell or create grammatically correct sentences? Perhaps English is not her first language. But if she has so much money to give, couldn't she afford a personal secretary to write for her?

Seriously if you have so much money to give wouldn't you just arrange for your lawyer to present you with charitable institutions where you could donate your money? Why go through all the trouble of spamming random people you do not know via email to give away your money? It doesn't make sense. Not logical at all... Spare us the drama!

i found it uneasy to survive myself, beacuse a lot of
investment cannot be run and manage by me again.

thinking on this solution, as my adviser.

He minister to me to share my property ,wealth, to motherless baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for survivor both student that need money/ business woman and man for their investment for future rising. So therfore i am writing this letter to people who are
really need help from me both student in college, to contact me
urgently. so that i can make available preparation on that.
especially women of the day, who are divorced by their husband, why they cannot survive the mist of feeding their self.

please contact me to stop weeping. probably let me know what you really need the money for, and if you can still help me to distribute money to nearest orphanages
homes near your town. now am so much with GOD, am now born again.
