Below is a copy of an e-mail which is currently being circulated and which purports to come from the 'Freemason Society of Bournemouth'. Needless to say there is no such society and the grant one is invited to claim is a confidence trick. Such e-mails should be ignored. If in any doubt whatsoever contact your Provincial Grand Secretary.
Dear Benefactor Of 2007 Masory Grant,
The Freemason society of Bournemout [sic] under the jurisdiction of the all Seeing Eye, Master Nicholas Brenner has after series of secret deliberations selected you to be a beneficiary of our 2007 foundation laying grants and also an optional opening at the round table of the Freemason society.
These grants are issued every year around the world in accordance with the objective of the Freemasons as stated by Thomas Paine in 1808 which is to ensure the continuous freedom of man and to enhance mans living conditions.
We will also advice that these funds which amount to USD2.5million be used to better the lot of man through your own initiative and also we will go further to inform that the open slot to become a Freemason is optional, you can decline the offer.
