Mrs. Nellie Johnson in Cote D’Ivoire
In this version of the dying woman scam, Mrs. Nellie Johnson seeks your assistance in distributing the riches accumulated by her husband, who was killed along with their son Elvis (!) by envious rivals. But alas, in reality there is no Nellie Johnson and no money to be given to charity. There’s only a scammer trying to get you to contribute to his own favorite charity: himself.

subject: Greetings.From Mrs Nellie Johnson
Abidjan in Cote D’Ivoire
Avenue 25 Zone4 Rue 88bpGreetings.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God,in my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and pains taking efforts via searching I made on the internet on my bed side. Presently, I’m in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophagi Cancer.
Though its a sad and long story but I will cut it short for your quick and easy understanding. I am Nellie Johnson (Mrs), widow to Late Mr. Charles Johnson, former Defence attachee to Greece Embassy in Cote D’Ioire. My husband was murdered alonside our only son Elvis by those who are envious of his position in the same office.
Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden, orphanages and the less privileged in the society. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for the propagating peace.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
What is required of you is your honesty, trust and sincerity. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose.
May God Almighty bless you.
Nellie Johnson (Mrs).
