Fraudulent Letter

Donation From Mrs Naomi Rahman!! That is one of the hanky - panky emails I got two days ago I used to get similar emails though...I am sick of receiving such emails, so I decided to debunk it this time.
I am sure that you also have gotten similar emails like the one I am going to post but with slight scenario variation. This time is from Kuwait, the sender is a hoaxer and may be smarter than other email hoaxers. She used one of the Arabic Gulf countries; Kuwait in her faked address. Being an Iraqi woman which Kuwait is considered as our neighbor, She is trying to grab my attention to that point. I might not be the only person who got this letter...she might have sent it to plenty of Arabs and Iraqi users and bloggers. Oh well...
The thing that cracks me up with these emails and no matter how far fetched scenario they have, but they all pour into one faked lie. They use to mention banks in some anarchic countries or territories such as Nigeria and Ivory Cost...Baloney hahaha.
Oh well, I don't have any idea why are they doing this? Could any one illuminate me with some good ones?
Enjoy reading..Oops laughing ;P

Dearest one in the Lord,I am Mrs Naomi Rahman from Republic of State of Kuwait.
I am suffering from Throat Cancer and i am suffering very bitterly as I write you this message with help of a Sister in Christ Mrs Joy Kennedy. My doctor just informed me that my days are counted considering my health status.
My matrimonial situation is that i lost my husband and two kids in Motor accident on 25 December 2007.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Two million six hundred thousand pounds in a Bank in Ivory Coast. I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I wanted a gracious way and a way to help the less-privileged; I count on your sincere willingness to employ this fund in a Godly manner.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Ivory Coast.
I await your soonest response with your full information, example.
Your full name............... Address...................... Age..........................
I will use the above information to obtain an authority letter that will prove you the new beneficiary of this fund from Ministry of Justice State of Kuwait. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hope to receive your reply with the above information.
Yours Sister in Christ
Mrs Naomi Rahman

Hello

The reason they do this, is that some people believe it and send money. And usually a lot more after the first contact. If you send out a million of those emails and one person falls for it, that's a great profit margin for whats' invested.
There are stories about people who have fallen for this and lost all their money, usually old people.
