I’m not really sure what to think about this. It is hard to determine if it is sincere or a way to get a communication line open to continue a scam…
Dear Friend in Christ,
Calvary greetings in Jesus name. I pray that this message meet you well in Christ. Hope you are not surprised at this message.
I am writing you from Edo, Nigeria. By His grace I’m a Christian watched by His blood and serving our Lord Jesus Christ. I am not perfect in any way but strive unto perfection. I am blessed with a wife and three children with five grand children. We fellowship in a small community church with about 40 members. I teach in the adult Sunday class. We are blessed with a devoted young pastor.
Now unto why I wrote. Bibles are not easy to come by where I live because they are imported for sale here. Me and my wife own a very old tiny print bible. We need bibles with super giant print. We need your help for bibles with super giant print King James Version. We would also need three of such bibles for some aged mothers who cannot afford them in our church. I am appealing that you send us 5 super giant print bibles in English language. My postal address is P.O. Box 4186, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. If you send them post office mail insured we will receive them. I will write you when I get the bibles and please you can add a prayer request. We may have nothing else to offer but as we pray God will intervene in whatever challenges you may have there. I do not come to the email often so may not write but when the bibles reaches me I will write. Please pray for the challenges in our country especially for the poor and hungry. It is always very hard for the very poor but we have to trust that God is allowing what must happen so that men will seek Him.
Ephesians 3:20, 21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21-Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. God bless you.

This to me appears to be genuine though one cannot tell but I sense this is genuine and quite different from others here

I got this one today too. It came from a “Matthew Godwin” at an email address in Hong Kong (but still requests Bibles be sent to Nigeria.) Can’t figure it out.
