The message says ‘Greeting from Mr. Gerald Donald’.

Then a long story about how he has been diagnosed with cancer and has only a few months to live.

The reason for his message is that his estate is worth “seven million, eight hundred thousand and fifty thousand U.S Dollars” and he wants me to help him to find a reputable charity to donate the money to.

He apologised for causing me any pains and hopes I can email back to him “with my interest”.

Although the message claims to be from Gerald Donald the email is actually from carla.coll using a Spanish email address.  So perhaps he/she is a little confused.

The message is sent to Undisclosed Recipients which means it’s likely been sent to millions of random email addresses.

And of course he/she doesn’t even know my name.

A dumb scammer’s email.
