Anyone receiving a message like this needs to immediately consider it as fraud. I hope Emmanuel Mensah finds this out sooner rather than later.

I got the below message on a user's group forum and, due to communications problems could not tell other members of the group that this message is fradulent.  Monsignor McPartland had a similar problem in 2007 when a message with the same wording was sent around about him.  I hope members of the group called the police or at least informed Mr Mensah that someone broke into his web based e-mail account and stole his mailing list.
