Is the UK now trying to wrest control of the market for scams from Nigeria?

[i]The following is the latest to arrive but is about the fifth one this week. Similar to some of the Nigerian scams but this one is different for claiming membership in the British aristocracy.[/i]

“Lady Rebecca Thatcher.”

From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
No:36 Old Shrewberry Street,
London England.

Here writes Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment. I
used to be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an Englishman who is dead. My
husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our
life
together as man and wife lasted for three decades without children. My
husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to
uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had
passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical
disability
or financial predicament.I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a
Child from the marriage, which never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million
Pounds (20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling)which were
derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his
bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank.
Recently,
my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems I am suffering from.

Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to
the
cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to
donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from
my
husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,
destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children,
barren-women
and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused
or
invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be
misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid
of
death hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone
communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because
of
the presence of my husbands relatives around me. I do not want them to
know about this development.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
bank
in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower
you
as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived
a
life worthy of emulation. Please assure me that you will act just as I
have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon.

[i] They’re becoming weirder but more inventive all the time. Is it true that the UK has a large immigrant population of Nigerians?[/i]
