I am Mrs. Alexander Ellar from Ireland. I am married to late Mr.Richard Alexander, who worked with Irish Embassy in Kuwait for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2004,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a daughter (Hannah) who later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against.

These messages are always a scam/ In this case it is called a 419 advance fee scam. To get the money that does not exist you will have to respond and then you will get a letter from a 'Bank' or a 'Barrister' , ALL OF WHICH ARE THE SCAMMER PLAYING DIFERENT ROLES IN THE SCAM. All will ask for money as 'FEES' AND AT EACH STAGE AFTER PAYING THERE WILL ARISE ANOTHER FEE. Perhaps a fee for a safe deposit where the so called money is kept. However there will actually be no money and by the time all the fees are paid you will be bankrupt and will have lost everything. The person is not in hospital and is not sick but is sitting in an internet cafe probably in Lagos ,Nigeria sending out this same message 1000 times a day. It will get 999.9 rejections, but that's no problem, all it needs is the one person to bite at the scam. Soon the requests for Western Union transfer will arrive so send nothing.

London UK. THIS IS AN INCORRECT ADDRESS. LONDON ITSELF IS NOT IN SURREY AND THE POSTCODE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE IN THE LINES.SCAMMER IS IGNORANT OF THIS
Telephone: +44 773 364 9300 or +44 702 401 9885 THESE NUMBERS FORWARD THE CALLS TO NIGERIA USING A CALL FORWARDING SERVICE
Barristers do not act as solicitors, they act as senior advisors for solicitors regarding points of law.


2. Confidentiality: Because of the nature and origin of this project, we need to be discrete, secret and confidential in handling it. The fact that I shall be presenting you as the rightful beneficiary to this funds, entails that we all need to be very discrete to protecting any information about this project from the preying eyes of third parties that might jeopardize it. I will therefore request that we keep this business to ourselves only, until it is concluded in other not to make it known to parties that could jeopardize it.

The scammer wants you not to share this with friend or family, in case they see it as the fraud it is. Note scammer is getting it's frauds mixed up. You are not being presented as the beneficiary of a dead person. This is the wrong text for this scammers particular task
Also co-operation should always be on time in other to get the desired result

You will be subjected to pressure to get you to act quickly. This is so you don't have time to think clearly.

RULE ONE. SEND NO MONEY VIA WESTERN UNION TRANSFER or MONEYGRAM EVER ( RULE WORKS ON ALL INTERNET MONEY REQUESTS WHATEVER THE EXCUSE GIVEN )
Do not contact the scammer again or reply to messages

That's a typical advance fee fraud.
I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home,

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen that phrase.

Hello sylvia1965. No, it is not Mrs. Alexander Ellar writing to you. It is a fraudulant scam artist trying to suck you in.
began steele summarised the situation perfectly.

RE: I have been diagnosed with cancer and I need your help in distributing my funds of $4.5M to charities.
What does that have to do with the price of apples? Why can't she simply instruct the barrister of her wishes?
After all, they will be her wishes! No one should be allowed to intefere with the distribution process.

Also the surbytc.com seems highly suspect.

The phone numbers beginning with 4470 in an e-mail are all fraudulant. If in future you view one of these re-direct numbers in correspondence - RUN.
You will see a far better explanation in an earlier post here viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13567
