    Dear,
    My name is Mrs. Rose Warren, widow of late Mr. Mahmud Warren, former owner of PETROLEUM AND GAS company ,here in Ghana Republic .I am 68years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it’s quite obvious that I won’t live more than 2 months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage’s don’t want your pity but i need your trust.
    My late husband died early last year from heart attack, and during the period of our marriage we couldn’t produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I will not live for more than 2 months, so I have now decided to spread all my wealth, to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America , Asia and Europe . am sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail.
    I found your e-mail address as a real Child of God for over a month now that i have been investigating about you to know if really you are working according to the direction of God so after all my investigation i am convince, and i have decided to contact you, but if for any reason you find this mail offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my appology.before my late husband died he was a major oil tycoon, in Ghana and deposited the sum of 10.5 million dollars (Ten. Five million dollars) in a company in Europe some years ago, hats all i have left now,i need you to collect this funds and distribute it yourself to charity.
    So that when i die my soul can rest in peace. the funds will be entirely in hands and management. I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives, that is my main concern.20% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 80% goes to charity.
    God bless you. waiting to hear from you
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Rose Warren

    I dont think Mrs Sonia Rajiv Gandhi deserve to be in this list. She did not become president by hardwork or by either serving the country or congress party. They made her president because the other leaders dont have to fight for it.
    It shows very low self esteem of our Congress leaders, and there is no internal democracy in that party.
