Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Etters from Iceland, married to Late Engr Brown Etters {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the 22nd August 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death, he deposited the sum of 2,142,728.00 US Dollars with a bank In Canada and this fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. I don't think i will need any telephone communication in this regard because of the confidentiality of this transfer. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. Reply to my very confidential email address below {lizzy_etters2@live.com}
Await your responds and God bless you.

Sounds like a Nigerian scam, but usually they want you to act as a middle man I don't see that here. I take it you don't know this woman and have never been to Iceland? It is strange how she trusts her email- "Very Confidential".

It sounds like it's trying to piggyback on the name of Tiger Wood's wife.

I particularly like the part where if you check the headers it almost always says multiple recipients. I just love sending abuse notices to LIVE, they jump all over them, one of the few things I will give kudos for to microsoft, they are absolutely vicious about spam and/or fraud, and using any of their isp's for it either sending or receiving.

Now I am on her sucker list (note the change of her husband's name and the recalculation of the money amount):
