?Tengo nueva direcci?n de correo!Ahora puedes escribirme a:patriciahewitt92@yahoo.com.co

- I am Rt. Hon Patricia Hewitt MP. Leicester's first woman MP in 1997 when I was elected Labour MP for Leicester West, held a variety of top ranking roles in the Cabinet,including Cabinet Minister for Women and Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, and my last appointment was the Secretary of State for Health under Her Majesty,Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom.
I actually got your contact info via your country?s national directory and intend introducing a project that has to do with charity in your country and neighbouring countries around you.
Before my retirement, I personally made an over estimation, and stacked the sum of Six Million Great Britain Pounds which I totally intend for the purpose of charity and none other which will be supervised Attorney as he will also be the one in charge of securing these funds into your custody.
This transaction will result to you being paid a commission of 11% of the investment capital and the balance, distributed to charity organizations of your choice or reinvested and the net income, used for rehabilitating charity organization in and around your country through you/your agency annually for the period of five years or a little more. The last time I orchestrated this sort of Grant, the individual in Australia succeeded in successfully setting up three standard orphanage homes in less than a year. I have never been so proud of such a noble individual. If you are willing to execute this Humanitarian Project, You must understand that I desire absolute confidentiality and professionalism on this issue. For security reasons as regards my reputation, I will not be able to communicate regularly with you; but my Attorney will take up the processing on my behalf and get these funds processed and released to you without any delay. I actually don?t plan on benefiting anything from this project, but will be absolutely fulfilled, if and only if you remain sincere to me on the handling of this project with utmost sincerity and confidentiality; and eventually utilize the funds for the purpose which I have explained to you above. Please respond urgently if you are interested as the fund are getting overdue, so I can equip you with the necessary details, along side my Attorney?s contact information, so as to commence the transaction properly; on the other hand, if you are not, please let your intentions be known or better still, Kindly relent from replying this email. You could get personal info. on me via the Parliament sites or on my official website, but do not try to contact me via any personal information you may lay your hands upon on the internet as almost all my contact info are connected to the British House of Parliament data base except the ones I personally sent to you; as I don?t want our effort and my reputation, jeopardized.
Sincerely, PATRICIA HEWITT MP.>

Not being British, I have no idea who she is, but of course I am very proud that a British MP has so much trust in me.

You made the point when you said it was SPAM.

The mail is NOT from Patricia Hewitt MP and is the subject of a Police investigation.

Your "not being British" possibly explains why you would feel that a British MP has trust in you.

I've just looked in my spam folder there are 10, I won't be making posts on them and to be honest its probably a good job other forum folk don't bother either.

The list of bollocks would be incredible.

The Nigerian scamming cunts are at it again. Anyway, you can rest assured it's not from Patricia Fuckwit herself - I doubt she would know how to set up a Yahoo email address

I did not for a moment believe she sent it herself. It is just an interesting example of a new variety in Nigerian scamming: seemingly sent by a real life person.
A few days ago I also received a lucrative offer from a Chinese minister. A Google query revealed there really was such a person.
