Couple of weeks back, I received an email from one Mr. Manuel Franco. He introduced himself as a winner of $768.4 million in Powerball lottery on APRIL 23th, 2019. He informed me that he was donating 12.5 Million US Dollars to me!

If I did not know better, I'd have had a heart attack by now.

Below you'll find, my communication with him. My comments are in red.

Firstly, I must express my gratitude towards your interest to accept this donation and assist us with our charitable course, (when did I show my interest?) I was never a believer of luck until I won the lottery, the same luck that drew me to this fortune has attracted me to you.

All I got was Microsoft Teams!!) as an email User and a part of our donation list your Email ID is among those listed to receive the donation sum of US$12,500,000.00 through the help of my accountant agent Mr. Edward Manzi jr the Chairman & CEO of Fidelity Bank Headquarters. (Wow! Chairman & CEO of Fidelity Bank is your accountant agent? Man you MUST be BIG. And yes, Google search on Mr. Edward Manzi jr does show that the name of Chairman & CEO of Fidelity Bank is indeed Edward Manzi. Another ploy used by phishing email scammers – build some trust by using verifiable facts that are publically available) Be rest assured that you are not at any risk with this money.

The $12,500,000.00 donation we are offering you might not be too much for you or your business (Yes, actyually 12.5 million US DOllars is peanuts for me!
