Below the transcript
of the concerning email:
I am a Nigerian princess and I am in desperate need of
someone who can teach me about how I can go to your heaven. I do not want to rot in some spirit prison,
waiting for my no-good descendants to finally get me help. I will deposit $30,000,000.00 in genuine moneys into your bank account. Just send me the account number, the
routing number, your social security number, date of birth, credit card number,
security code, cell phone number, mother’s favorite teacher’s cat’s name, city
of birth, names of siblings, blood type, emails of 5 friends who would also be
interested in this exciting offer, and approximately when and how many hours
your companion sleeps every night. I
will send you money todays, and then I will send you my address so that you can
come and teach me and the 8 other Nigerian princesses that live with
me and our children. We have 42 children
and they are all 9 years old. Please do
not deny us the blessings of your gospel church and please send the
requested information now so that we can all get much blessings.
Urgently,
Princess of Nigeria
This is not the first time that the church has warned
missionaries about scams like this. Several years ago the church warned missionaries about a scam that asked
them to send money to support a struggling former church authority. The leader had supposedly played Major League baseball and was a World War II veteran who had
been miraculously saved in tense combat. Scammers sent out letters asking missionaries for donations with the slogan,
“With your help he’s not Dunn yet!”
