From: Mrs Mary Jones

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am
married to Dr Hilarry Jones who worked with Kuwait
embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2000.We were married for eleven years
without a child. He died after a brief illness that
lasted for only four days.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $8.6Million (Eight
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one
finance/security company in Amsterderm Holland.
Presently, this money is still with the Security
Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not
last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to church or better still a christian individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in. I want a church that will use this
fund to fund churches, orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to
understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.
I took this decision because I don't have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband relatives
are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard
earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don'twant
a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. 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. I don't need
any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health .As soon as I receive your reply
I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security
Company in Amsterderm Holland. I will also
issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as
the original-beneficiary of this fund.
Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from
you.
Faithfully,
Mary Jones.

Just did a Google search for Dr Hilarry Jones, and they the 1st three responses show it is spam! As you knew of course.

May I add that Dr Hilary Jones is known to the UK population as a TV doctor off GMTV off channel 3.

But these people prey on the weak and thoughtless. I do not know why these type of scams are still operated by these people. If you have an active internet connection and email address, you should be aware of these scams

So if you do fall into these traps, its only one persons fault

Good you show immediate action, Henhead. Only: do you realise there must be about 1 billion people named Jones on this planet, from which thousands are named Hilary, but not only that, also as the spam text says:

There is an English Dr. Hilary Jones who has his name on a computer program that is a medical dictionary that came out a few years ago. It is written to assist with home diagnosis and it also gives the name of medications and their uses and side effects. This appears to be the same Dr. Hilary Jones Henhead speaks about. Would not think the name Dr. Hilary Jones would be that common.

This is a Nigerian 419 (money transfer) Scam. They eventually get you to send them your checking account information, and when you're not looking they will clean it out. That is - if anyone was actually stupid enough to fall for such a load of BS.
