Here is another scam: - Forwarded message - From: Mrs Maria Franca Fissolo Date: Jun 25, 2018 10:43 AM Subject: Re: Dear Firstly I would want to thank Dr. Amado Mario for his commitment in sending the random message to our fifty beneficiaries, I knew I could count on him in making our discussion come to reality. I’m not used in writing a lengthy message, but I think I would make this brief. I still find it very difficult to introduce myself, I do rather let someone else do that for me. I am Maria Franca Fissolo, a mother, wife and owner of Ferrero SpA and other firms. You can read more about my biography on https://www.forbes.com/profile/maria-franca-fissolo/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Franca_Fissolo ( Attached to this mail is a little biography about my humble self.) Sequel to my conversation with Dr. Amado Mario, since 1990 with the help of donations and sponsorship from different philanthropist around the world, we’ve cut in half the number of children who die before their fifth birthday. This is a remarkable statistic, but it is also part of a larger story of advancement in global health. Dr. Amado Mario and I began working together in 2011 to support childhood immunization and polio eradication. Since then, I have traveled to the UAE a number of times for important global health events like the Global Vaccine Summit in 2013, and the Heroes of Polio Eradication Awards in 2015. More than half of all people living with HIV now have access to anti-retro-viral therapy. Between 2000 and 2015, malaria deaths dropped by 60 percent. Polio is on the verge of eradication. And the number of people at risk of STDs fell by 20 percent in the last five years.A couple of months ago, our foundation published a report called ‘Goalkeepers’ that highlighted much of this progress. But it also contained a warning: that future progress isn’t inevitable. If we don’t double down on investments in innovation, more children will die needlessly and poor health will continue to hold back millions of people and limit the economic potential of many developing countries. I’m confident that we can maintain a trajectory of progress. There’s a lot of exciting innovation happening and I’d love to reach out to communities, urban and rural areas around the world with a little gesture of our ongoing E-World wild donation. Hence: We birthed this dream… We thought it will be highly effective to reach out to random selected people around the world whom will share from our vision and tell us from their own experience little gesture and ideas we can pull together to affect their communities and children living in rural areas around them. Instead of investing funds into charity organizations who will focus on one specific community, we decided to share $220,000,000.00USD (Two Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars) to 50 randomly individuals around the globe. Through the help of our longtime partners, Microsoft Cooperation generated fifty thousand (50,000) email ID's from a pool of over 25,000 web of distinguished professionals and individuals drawn from Europe, America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Middle-East, Africa and North & South America. Beneficiaries are selected through the Microsoft Computer Ballot System {CBS}. However, your E-mail Account was among the fifty (50) selected Emails picked. After clarification $4,400,000.00USD will go to each individual from the 50 selected.CC to this mail is Dr. Amado Mario (Personal Assistant) and Bar. Martin Perez (Lawyer). Whom are the major lead board of trustees will guild you through the process on your donation awarded to you. N.B: Being picked do not guarantee you will be granted the donation. We have laid out rules and ethics our beneficiaries must posseses/abide by in other to be granted. We need you to tell us about yourself and your ideas on what you are going to do with the 60% of the fund. Please see below key questions which we want you to answer and send to us for screening purpose. 1) Why do you think you are the right person for this? 2) What are the current difficulties affecting your community or people around you? 3) Have you ever associate yourself with any Charitable organization? If yes, please state the name of the organization and send some proof if any. 4) What is the highest amount you have ever handle…? 5) Apart from your daily routine, what do you have passion for? 6) How can you make the world around you a better place? 7) What is your Marital Status? 8) Do you have any sort of disability? 9) Do you have any criminal record or have you been a victim of any kind? 10) What do you do for a living and what’s your position at your place of work? 11) Nationality and current country of residence. 12) Means of contact ( Tel or Mobile / Fax ) 13) Your full names Please answer the above questions and send a scan copy of any valid government identification for documentation purpose and background check. Looking forward to your prompt response. Regards Mrs. Maria Franca Fissolo
