I just got this urgent email. Seems legit. I'll do anything to help criminals.

Mrs. Ruth Madoff
West, Liverpool,
London.

My Great Compliments,

I’m Mrs. Ruth Madoff, 67, wife to Mr. Bernard L. Madoff, of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, who pleaded guilty to operating a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, is worth up to $826 million, according to a document filed with a federal court on Friday 13th March 2009.

Just last week my husband pleading stealing billions from investment from his clients and he was ordered to jail Thursday 12th March 2009, after pleading guilty to all 11 criminal counts in one of Wall Street's biggest swindles.

Now the Federal investigators in the USA are working around the clock to freeze all my assets, fearing that I'm trying to flee the country which I have done shortly after my husband was sentenced, I have $93 million in my name beyond their reach.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is working with federal prosecutors in Manhattan to prepare a filing asking a judge to formally freeze all of my assets as soon as possible.

My husband deposited the sum of (USD$17.000.000.00 Million) in a Finance Firm in Europe some years ago in my name, I need you to collect this funds and distribute it to both of us since the Federal investigators are working around the clock to freeze all my assets. Meanwhile all documents related to transfer of this fund to your account is with my attorney Mr. Peter Chavkin, who is willing to help us process the release order from the UK bank.

Presently, I’m in a hard out here in UK as the Federal investigators as well the Securities and Exchange Commission is looking for me to freeze my entire asset as well prosecute me like my husband.

Please reply back to me on this e-mail as I will like if you contact my attorney directly so that he will direct you on the way forward. Please due send to me all your contact details as I will like to speak with you before we commence on the transaction.

Please keep this confidential. You can read my story on this website: removed due to virus

God bless you.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Ruth Madoff

I also received this e-mail. I am thankful that the Madoffs have chosen our family to be caretakers of such an immense fortune. So how are we going to split this up between the two of us. I can't imagine that she e-mailed any body else about this. I can only assume they have researched our family history and chosen the two of us because of our sincere love of people and our extreme integrity. No way she could pick any of our siblings, they all have major issues that the two of us have avoided. Of course that rules out Paul's kids as well. You don't think this is a scam, do you? Naw, we are way too intelligent to be duped by a phony e-mail. She must have skipped out on English and grammar classes as a kid though. Poor lady!


By the way, I received the same e-mail from Mr. Madoff's butler, mistress, nanny, limo driver and unknowing business partner. It's funny that they all know and trust me with this. I wonder if we are related. I need to do my geneology. I will be sending all personal information to them this afternoon. Wish me luck! Can't wait to split the millions with you Cuz!

You and Garrett are SO lucky. I could only dream of an opportunity like this. They didn't send it to me. probably because they know of my penchant for fast cars, loose men and booze.

However, it will stay in the family. Madoff is a part of our family. Why do you think my name is Lisa MarcellaMadoff Harper.

Sometimes, I like to reply to these emails. I usually use a few expletives. It is funny, because it does not deter them. they just send another email, reassuring of their sincerity. I didn't know rich old ladies looked like 28 year old South Africans.
