Ride Foundation

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is about a charitable donation. It works just like a lottery scam. The scammers that sent the letter, wants me to pay them. I will not get anything from them. They will keep asking for more money until I give up or run out of money.

Go to the lotteries page to see more stories on fake donations and lotteries.

Attn: Recipient,

RE: CASH ENDOWMENT NOTIFICATION

I have been directed to inform you by the board of trustees of the Ride
Foundation as one of the final recipients of a cash Grant/Donation for
your own personal, educational, and business development. The Ride
Foundation was established 10th August, 1980 by the Multi-Million
groups and companies in Europe having their corporate head office in
Austria (Vienna) and was conceived with the objective of humanitrian
growth, educational, and community development.

To celebrate the 27th anniversary program, The Ride Foundation is
giving out a donation of £500,000.00 (Five hundred thousand British
Pounds) each to 30 lucky recipients. These specific Donations/Grants
will be awarded to 30 lucky international recipients worldwide; in
different categories for their personal business development and
enhancement of their educational plans. At least 15% of the awarded
funds should be used by you (the Recipient) to develop a part of your
community. This is a yearly program, which is a measure of Universal
Development Strategy Program (UDSP).

The objective is to make a notable change in the standard of living of
people all around the Universe (From America to Europe, Asia to Africa
and all around). The Ride Foundation has been assured of highest
organizational standard courtesy of the United Nations. It is our
belief that we can achieve a great positive change in the general
welfare of the universe through this program. That is why the
foundation is doing everything possible to get all recipients notified
of their donation.

Note that your country is not the only country that is benefiting from
this donation. Beneficiaries have been chosen from countries all over
the continents. The idea of this donation is that within ten years from
now or thereabout, there will be notable richness among many unusual
people around the world. This will give many people the opportunity to
get their lives to a stage where they had always wanted.

Kindly note that you will only be chosen to receive the donation once,
which means that subsequent yearly donation will not get to you again.
Take time and thought in spending the donation wisely on something that
will last you a long time. Recipients are only eligible to be awarded
this donation once.

Based on the random selection exercise of internet websites and
millions of supermarket cash invoices worldwide, you were selected
among the lucky recipients to receive the award sum of £500,000.00
(Five hundred thousand British Pounds) as charity donations/aid from
the Ride Foundation, in accordance with the enabling act of Parliament.
(Note that all beneficiaries email addresses were selected randomly
from over 600,000 internet websites or a shop's cash invoice around
your area in which you might have purchased something from).

A qualification form will be sent to you to fill and returned as soon
as you acknowledge this notification email with your interest in
receiving the Cash Grant. You are to contact the 27th Anniversary
Secretary with the information below:

All information is strictly confidential and will only be used for the
purpose to which it is been requested.

Please note that these donations/Grants are strictly administered by
Ride Foundation. This means that your qualification number will be
raffled to know the organisation (ECOWAS or EU) that will handle your
payment. You are to keep this whole information confidential until you
have been able to collect your donation, as there have been many cases
of double and unqualified claim, due to beneficiaries informing third
parties about his/her donation.

Finally, all funds should be claimed by their respective recipient not
later than 15 days after notification. Failure to do so will mean
cancellation of that beneficiary and its donation will then be reserved
for next year's recipients.

On behalf of the Board kindly, accept our warmest congratulations.

Faithfully Yours,
Rosebeth Tailor (PRO).
Ride Foundation.
