I thought these were supposed to come from Nigeria:

Dear Beloved,

My name is Mrs. Anika Sander from England, I am a dying woman who has
decided to donate what I have to charities through you. You may be
wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I was diagnosed
for cancer about 2 years ago, after the death of my husband who had left me
everything he worked for.

I have been touched by the Lord to donate from what I have inherited from
my late husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity,
rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s hard earned funds
inappropriately.I have asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins and I
believe he has, because He is merciful. I will be going in for an
operation in few weeks , and I pray that I survive the operation. I have
decided to Will/Donate the sum of 6,500,000.00 pounds (Six Million Five
hundred thousand pounds) to charities through you for the good work of the
Lord, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the
assistance of the widows.

Presently, I have informed my consultant about my decision in willing this
fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord
bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the
good work to others. If you are interested in carrying out this task, I
will inform my consultant of your contact, so that he can arrange the
release of the funds to you. I know I have never met you but my mind tells
me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely. I decided that 30% of this
money should be taken by you from the total sum upon the success release
of this fund, because I am now too weak and fragile to do things myself
because of my cancer. NB: You will be given the right to verify this
directly with the Bank where the fund was deposited.

I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished, as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my
last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in the
way of my last wish.

Regards
Mrs. Anika Sander

BTW, This font is created with the “tt” command, and I happen to be old enough to have actually used a TeleType machine. With a strip of paper that had a bunch of holes in it.

Take that Naomi!
