Be careful.
Africa has been the source of numerous scams that begin like this, many from
Nigeria. Law firms have been duped.
They will try to get your bank account information "to make a deposit" and
then loot the account when it has a high balance.
It would not hurt to contact your local law enforcement anti-fraud unit if
they ask for such info.
If they just send a check, praise God.
I am a bit doubtful that they need to come to America to find evangelical or
especially orphanage ministries.
Be as harmless as a dove but wise as a serpent.

just received one by email. Why is this credible or not credible? What
criteria apply? Can they be applied to other examples?
