These two are royals, so they must be telling the truth. In an unusual break from royal tradition, they seem to be called after a well-known face cream and a footballer's wife.

FROM CATRINA HAWK,,


I know that this letter may be a very big surprise to you.

I am Mrs. CATRINA HAWK, i am deaf and suffering from a protracted cancer
of the breast which has affected my brain. From all indication my
condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously
advised me that i may not live beyond the next two months to four
months,this is because the cancer stage has reached a critical stage. I
was brought up in a motherless baby's home, and was married to my late
husband who is from cote d'ivoire for twenty years without a child. My
husband and i are true Christians, but quite unfortunately, he died in a
fatal motor accident.

Since his death i decided not to re-marry, i sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited the sum of $3.2million dollars in a bank.
Presently, this money is still in their custody, and the management just
wrote me as the Legitimate beneficiary to come forward to receive the
money after keeping it for so long or rather issue a letter of
authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since i can not come
over as a result of my illness.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where i have been undergoing
treatment. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told
me that i have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see that
this money is invested in any organisation of your choice and distributed
each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless
baby's home where i come from and cancer patients as well. I want your
good humanitarian, to also use this money to fund orphanages and widows
around. I must let you know that this was a very hard decision, but I had
to take a bold step towards this issue because i have no further option. I
hope you will help see my last wishes come true.As soon as I receive your
reply I shall give you the contact of the bank or the full contact of the
attorney to the bank where this fund was deposited. I will also issue you
a letter of authority which will prove that you are the new beneficiary of
my funds.Do forward t!
he following information as i would need

YOUR FULL NAME
YOUR PHONE NUMBER
YOUR COUNTRY
YOUR PHONE NUMBER
YOUR AGE
YOUR OCCUPATION

Please assure me that you will act accordingly and when next i hear from
you i would enclose the deposit slip as was given to me by the bank when i
made this deposit.

Awaiting your reply.

CATRINA HAWK

 

Out of interest I drove down Hale Road in Widnes last Thursday. Trouble is it is a very long road with housing and light industrial areas all the way along. We did not have time to look for 172.

This line is my favourite. Its just genius. The fact that the sender has managed to wangled 'email' and 'top secret' into the same sentence without joking. Fabulous.

Its not as though email messages travel unencrypted through any number of different servers between sender and recipient, and such unencrypted messages never pass through servers in countries with lax data security rules, and of course, as we all know, the recipient always keeps their machine in a locked vault under armed guard and CCTV. You'd almost think that just anybody could use email, and a user doesn't even have to submit to comprehensive background checks and regular security audits.
