Confidential Donation

I am Mrs. Nathalie Gauthier, wife of the late French merchant Rodrigue Gauthier.
I contacted you in the meantime to help me transfer a fund of (€2,956,000.00) belonging to my late husband, a former drug and arms trafficker, which was blocked in a bank in Benin where my husband transferred these funds for more security, into your bank account by putting you in contact with my lawyer who would help you carry out the necessary documentation that would financially be your responsibility.
But I realized that you confused my email with those of scams on the internet these days. Know that I do not condemn you for this as I am trying to put myself in your place.
I am pleased to inform you that I have finally found an American who has helped me make this transfer to an account in California in the USA where I am currently.
As compensation, I have left you a check for €100,000 (ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND EUROS) at a courier agency in Benin that you can cash within a period of 10 days at your bank so that you can resolve part of your financial problems. If you have any!
I also guarantee you that you will not run any risk in accepting this donation from me as all security documents have already been established.

You can contact the courier agency via email:

EXPRESS COURIER BENIN
Email: courriexpress.benin@yahoo.com

Yours sincerely

    SCAM! The famous "overpayment by cashier's check" trick.
    The bank takes at least fifteen days to verify that a check is properly funded, even if it approves it. By the time this "person" robs you.

    There are plenty of mistakes in this email, this widow claims her husband was a trafficker, she asks for help from a stranger, and her emails are fake. That's really a lot.
    Have a good evening
