"Hello Rev. Augustine

Thanks for your humble reply. I am Mr. Andrew Clark, I am 53 years old, and I am from Boston, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. There is a donation of £2,000,000 GBP in your favor. My Jackpot was a gift from God to me. I have agreed to do the will of God. I know we are unfamiliar with each other, but I believe if you were chosen by God to receive my donation of £2,000,000 Million Pounds, then you must be a God fearing individual.

I am a catholic and I believe that Good things happen to those people who wait and also believe. I am very grateful to you for the interest shown in my plight and I want to assure you that you will be greatly rewarded for what you have chosen to do. Although we are knowing each other for the first time, I believe our father has directed me to you as I prayed and searched the internet for assistance.

I saw your profile on a list of registered email addresses provided to me by Microsoft list/Google list from which I picked you. Be assured you stand no risk because this is my personal money. To authenticate my sincerity and verification please visit my secured link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-46645782

I decided to donate Individuals and I told some Ministers about this which they said was a welcome idea, and they promised they would get me a list of some people who can help others with my donation to put a smile on the face of the needy. I decided to select myself by going to Microsoft and Google to do some research. My donation of £2,000,000 Million Pounds may not be much to you, but I believe it will go a long way to improve your standard of living like my Jackpot did to me November 2nd 2018.

Fill in your details below and send back to me if you are interested in my donation. My entire household will be glad for you to visit us after my donation gets to you. I shall direct you on the process of the claim and this effect once I receive your details.

I am not asking for your ID or nor want to steal your identity. You must promise me that you will use the money wisely as instructed to help the less privileged over there in your country. We employ you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living in your country because that is the main reason for donating this money to you. May the Good lord bless your heart to be a blessing to your family and your society as soon as my donation gets to you."

Mar. 22, 2020 at 9:25 PM by an anonymous user from: Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

That's makes two of us I guess or I was more of an idiot. I even gave them my ID and billing statement. And I was able to open an account with the Nationwide Bank. I was coordinating with Mr. Rhodes. I checked his name on the internet and he holds a really high position in the bank. And who wouldn't want money, right? Until he said to me that I had to pay 500 pounds for the account to be activated because they cannot have it deducted from the money. I don't have that kind of money, so right now, it's on hold.
