DIVINE MISSION

Bellow you'll find a spam that I received not too long ago. It looks very believable, but after doing some research, I found out it was a total joke. The whole point of posting this email here, is so people who reads it are aware of this, or maybe, if they just got this letter, this post may be helpful to prevent them from falling in this type of dangers.

Another reason why I'm publishing this, is because was my father who got this letter. He bought it and prepared a whole response and asked me to translate it for him from spanish to english. I was going to do it until he showed me the reason why he had written that letter. At first, when he asked me to translate it, I didn't make any questions. After reading the original letter, the one he wanted to respond to, I googled it and discovered it was just another spam.

So people, be aware of this, don't believe everything you see or read. Do some research before, it may help you or save you from this internet criminals.

DIVINE MISSION! From: Mrs. Elizabeth Joshua Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire De Yopougon Abidjan Ivory Coast. Telephone: 00(225) 660-16-991 Greetings In the name of God Almighty, INTRODUCTION: I am Mrs. Elizabeth Joshua, from Kuwait. I am married to late Dr. Solomon Joshua, of blessed memory who was a Cocoa Merchant and an Oil Explorer in Abidjan-Ivory Coast for many years before he died in the year 2005. We were married for twenty five years without a child. I was a Muslim before we got married but my husband converted me to Christianity and we were both born again Christians and since the death of my husband, I have been battling with both lung cancer and stroke. When my late husband was alive he deposited US$1.200,000.00 (One Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a bank here in Abidajn-Ivory Coast. after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. According to the doctor, my medical report quotes a very short life sperm due to my health status presently. May be I may still have another 3-4 weeks to live, that I do not know but God can say. That is just my faith as a deteriorating cancer patient. Recently, I am been disturbs by my one sided paralyses due to stroke diagnoses. but I pray to God to heal me so that I will be alive and see this work done as my late husband instructed me. Having known my condition I decided to donate the above mentioned fund to an individual Muslim/Christian or any faith, so that He/She will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, I want an individual that will use this fund for the less privilege ones like; orphanages, widows, also help our old ones who is unable to cater for their needs. The Bible/Qur'an made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because we don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives has possesses all my late husband properties and left me with nothing. I don't want my late husband's relatives to know about this development, I know if I ask them to use these funds for less privilege ones they will use it for their own vested/perosnal interest. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in such manner, this is why I am taking this decision, I know we have not meet before but I want you to consider this mission as DIVINE MISSION!!! I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going, I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus "14 VS 14" says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard, my happiness is that I lived a worthy life and whoever that want to serve the God must serve him in spirit and truth. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you more details regarding this great mission. Remain blessed. Yours sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Joshua

Modenas de $10 por $1000.-

Me han llegado rumores que en realidad no creí. Primero un primo se contó que el banco del estado, mejor dicho, Banco Estado, estaba pagando mil pesos por cada moneda de 10 pesos que tuviese la imagen de una mujer con los brazos arriba. Esa es la imagen que tenía la moneda hace muchos años, pero luego fue reemplazada por la cara de Bernando O'Higgins. Cuál era la razón de este trueque? Era eliminar esas monedas que había salido a circulación en la época de Pinochet.
Luego, una amiga me dijo lo mismo pero de otro modo, cuando muriera Pinochet, el banco haría el cambio...
Bueno, dado a mi incredulidad, me puse a buscar información al respecto... una afirmación de este tamaño no es algo que se oculte, o que se deba ocultar... y si el banco realmente lo quiere hacer, entonces debería hacer más propaganda. Eso creo yo, así que entre lo que encontré, les doy el link para que se informen. http://www.bcentral.cl/esp/fuyorg/monedas/

Mi pregunta es la siguiente: por qué siempre buscando la manera de hacer dinero fácil??? sin ningún esfuerzo, sin ganarse los porotos... siempre ha sido la actitud de muchos, diría chilenos, pero me imagino que debe ser igual en todos lados.... aunque esta comprobado que Chile es uno de los paises con más horas de trabajo por persona y menos producción... eso se debe a la actitud de hoy en día. La gente es floja, vueltera... quieren ganar sin desgastarse.. suena como un sueño, pero por favor, como quieren ganar algo y disfrutarlo sin habersela jugado antes.

Cuando nos llegan las cosas fáciles, después no les tomamos el peso y las dejamos pasar o no las aprovechamos. Cuando ponemos un poco de esfuezo, luego nos quejamos que puro trabajo y pagan poco... por favor!

En fin... son mis primeros pensamientos serios en este blog que espero siga creciendo.

what the hell is going on.... 

I'm the biggest the best, better than the rest.

This is only a test to see if this blog thingy works out.
