One With Christ I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, I am Barrister Sam Obodo , the legal adviser to late Mr and Mrs Zech Joseph a Russian couple that lived in my Country U.K for 25 years before they died in auto crash at Totlenham court airpress way, They are good Christian, They so Dedicated to God but they had no child till they died. Throughout their stayed in the country, they acquired a lot of properties, house properties, etc. As their legal adviser, before their death, they Instructed me to write their WILL. Because they had no child, they dedicated their wealth to God. According to the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money will be given out to a ministry for the work of God, Orphanages and less privileges ones. As Their legal adviser, all the documents for the Properties were in my care. They gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to the Ministries for the work of God. In short, I sold all the properties after their death, as they instructed and as matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, I realized more than Ten million, five hundred thousand US Dollars ($10.500,000,00), and what supposed to be the percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly deducted by me out of the total amount realized from the sold properties, this was base on the initial agreement between me and the owner of the properties before their death. Therefore the total amount left to be invested into God's work as instructed by the owner is Ten million, five hundred thousand US Dollars ($10.500,000,00) only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God as instructed to me by the owner before their death. I have intention of investing the fund in abroad for personal use. then packaged the fund and deposited it with a security Finance Firm. I did not want the management of the Security finance to know the content of the consignments; therefore I registered the content of the consignments as family treasure. Now, the security company believes !
that what I deposited with them was family treasure. I had encounter with Christ when Rev. Billy Graham was preaching on television concerning Amanas and Sapphire in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave my life to Christ and became a born again Christian. As a born again Christian, I started reading my bible and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous truth from his righteousness, and committed iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby". From the scripture, I discovered that the only way I could have peace in my life is to do what is lawful and right by Giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by the owner before her death. I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God have forgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's work as instructed by the owner before her death. After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his choice and direct me to a honest Christian but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to me through divine revelation from God, so these are how I received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I got your contact information, and I then decided to contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God. I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the fund that I am moving the package to abroad and the security company has since been waiting for my authority for the consignment to leave my country and move to abroad. You should also forward to me your telephone and fax number for easy communication and to fax you the documents concern are in my position. Prompt response will be highly appreciated. Yours in ChristBarrister Sam Obodo

ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO

I do recognised the surprise this letter will bring to you, most especially as it comes from a stranger. I am Mr Oliver Michael from Angola and I 
got your contact and credibility from the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

In 1999 the rebel leader Jonas Savimbi commissioned my father as the head of arms and ammunition procurement until to the rebel group and was given the sum of US$40 MILLION (FOURTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) for the purchase and shipment of arms from South Africa. The money was brought into South Africa through diplomatic means.

Unfortunately my father died at the middle of the deal but he left a message for my mother and I, about a metal box containing US$25 MILLION (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) and instructed me to finish the mission. My mother objected my Father's will for two reasons:
1. Her millenium resolution is to stop the war in my country.
2. She needs expert medication overseas for her asthma and heart desease.

So we thus reached an agreement to seek for a trustworthy and God fearing person overseas who can assist us transfer the fund into his/ her 
personal/company's account. In anticipation for your co - operation my mother and I have mapped out 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 
5% to be set aside for every expenses incurred by both parties and the other 75% for my mother and I.

Presently this money is being deposited with a reputable security company in Johannesburg South Africa and thus contact was secured through my 
father's friend. If you are interested in assisting us notify us through the above e-mail address. In case you cannot assist us, please do maintain the 
level of confidentiality needed to achieve this transaction.

BEST REGARDS

First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval considering the facts we have not known each other before.I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself toyou. Iam James Omor from accra ghana. I write to know my desires to invest and to buy a livinghouse in your country.

I am the first son of my father mr charles omor who was the former Minister of Diamond Mining Co-operation in my country. My father had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way travelling to liberia on a visit to Lusia A city after morrovia the Capital along with my sister. My sister died on the spot while U.N Peace keeping force rescued my father, he later died about four months now. Before he died he revealed to me about the deposit of three boxs which he deposited in diplomat security company in malaysia for safe keeping.Presently, myself and my mother mrs lynda omor are here in malaysia to notify the company for the claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp. Therefore we want you to receive the said fund into your account and invest it, because my father told us that it is dangerous to invest this money in country to avoid suspicious, and due to market instability coupled with economic and political instability facing my country that is why I want to invest in abroad. For your foreign assistance myself and my mother have agreed to offer you 30% of the total amount of the money. We have all the vital documents covering the deposit which I can send to you through fax on request.

NOTE: I have never disclosed this to any person apart from you, so you?have to keep this very, very confidential. Send me your private phone and fax for more information. Thanks,

POSTED 1-11-06 Lawerence Rupert

Thank you once again for your prompt reply, before I go further I thought I'd inform you of both who you would be working for and what you would be doing.As I have previously already informed you, my name is Lawerence Rupert,(on Behalf of McSmith Limited) 35 years of age, 3 kids, a lovely girl and 2 troublesome kids, and the love of my life, my wife. I am a somewhat multitalented man and I do quite a lot of traveling and get to meet quite a lot of people.

I just resigned my job as a research scientist, but I still work as a freelance consultant for the instistute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.

I reside in Dublin, Ireland and even though I have lived most of my life in other parts of the world, I am fully residing in Ireland.

Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon,

However my funding were by my American counterparts which sent me the bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.

So presently, assuming you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment representative back in the states, this way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 8% of the total amount on these money orders as your commission and then send the rest back to me through Western Union wire transfer. Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you could be making up to $6000 just working with me in a short period of time.


I would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend to commence on starting as soon as you are ready. If you are interested, please email me back on lawrupert_35@withheld.com so we could make concluding arrangements.

Thank You,

Lawerence Rupert.

Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated. Presently, I'm with

I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organisation of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.I want you God fearing,to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows, I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

Greetings from the Netherlands,

I do not intend to take your time unduly as this is not a financial plea.I am the son to the late foreign affairs minister of the Federal Republic Of Zaire, Dr. Pinga Kasenda.

I am moved to write you this letter considering my present circumstance(to be disclosed in detail), as I managed to escape to the Netherlands, in Europe for safety, while my mother and two sisters escaped to Abidjan, Cote Devoire to settle.

I chose to escape to the Netherlands to carry out the transfer of a deposited sum($14.5million)in a finance institution, made by my late father,before his death.On presenting the relevant documents, as the sole beneficiary,I was refused the claim base on age and not having a valid account to transfer this sum to.

Hence,I am soliciting your assistance ONLY to provide an outstanding account for this transfer. Note;you will not be required to make any payment of  any form as I and my mother have reserved a good amount for the miscellaneous expense(s) that might be involved.Ofcourse,you will be compensated on successful completion of this transaction.

Please,keep confidential as I am presently in the refugee camp in the Netherlands,with routine restriction on my movement. I can easily be contacted for details/documents at; wanny(withheld)

Thanks in anticipation.

FROM MR. DAVID FOFFI,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE POUR L'AFRIQUE
LOME -TOGO

ATTN, PLEASE

I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through 
the website your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity. In 
my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of twelve million three 
hundred thousand US dollars. (USD.12.3 M) In an account that belongs to one 
of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in 
September,1998 in a plane crash. Since we got this information about his 
death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his 
money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next 
of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial 
policies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or 
relation died along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to 
claim the money.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my 
department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the 
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and 
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this 
money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained 
unclaimed after long period, the money will be transferred into the Bank 
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in 
this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner 
and an indegine cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family.

We agreed that 15% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in 
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for 
expenses incurred during this transaction and 80% would be for me and my 
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for 
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

To enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must 
apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased 
indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective 
communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of 
your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch 
free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required 
arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me 
immediately as soon as you receive this letter. I decided to contact you as 
you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest 
our own percentage to avoid peoples awareness as we are civil servants. We 
can conclude this operation within ten banking days.

Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all 
confirmable before you apply if you want. May God be with you. Trusting to 
hear from you shortly for a detailed information which are confirmable 
before you can make up your mind to apply.Peace and love always,

Best regards,
David Foffi.

Compliments of the day, I am Mrs mary Laurent Kabila, the youngest wife of the slain president of the democratic republic of Congo (DRC). I know that my letter will come as a surprise to you being that I am still a stranger but I can assure you that I got your
contact from a lady friend of mine who used to reside in your country. Find below the reason for this letter. Before his death on the 16th of January, 2001, and being his most trusted wife, he kept under my custody the documents with which he deposited the sum of twenty million united states dollars (US$20.000.000.00) with a private security/deposit company in London(United Kingdom), through his trusted friend and
personal attorney barrister Nicholas Ngoy, who is privy to the whole transaction.

You must have been aware that my late husband was assassinated by his bodyguard during an emergency state meeting with his cabinet members and other top government officials. Ever since then, this money is still deposited with the security company in London, while the deposit documents is still intact under my custody.

However, I have concluded in concrete terms with my husband's attorney, barrister Nicholas Ngoy, to relocate the above mentioned fund with the assistance of the security/deposit company in London, to any bank account in any part of the world where the money will be well secured for immediate investment and to enable me organize my immediate family since I do not know what my fate will be like when the chips
are down, most especially when my husband is no longer alive to take care of my little children who never enjoyed their father before death snatched him from them.

At this juncture, I know that you may have been wondering how I chose and trusted you amongst all people to be part of this transaction, please permit me to state here, that the reason is because we can not be able to relocate this money else where without involving an independent foreign partner.

Like I mentioned to you earlier, the documents in my custody bears the name of my late husband, hence the reason why I needed a foreign person to assist in this regards so as not to raise any suspicion whatsoever within the rest members of the Kabila family, besides, Joseph kabila my step son (from my late husband's first wife) is currently the president of the democratic republic of Congo (DRC) and as well the
wrangling/distrust inherent in a polygamous family system will never make him (Joseph) to allow me take possession of this money if he ever get to know about its existence, hence the reason why I am contacting you for assistance. 

I sincerely believe I can trust you completely concerning this transaction with sincerity, honesty and utmost confidentiality since my future hinges on the successful outcome of this transaction.

Be informed, that the subject matter is presently in physical cash, and was declared on a face value as precious metals and personal effect. This idea was burn out of the need not to let the management of the security company to know the content of the consignment for security reasons.

To this end, if you are willing to assist me to relocate this fund out of London, I will be very glad to link you with barrister Nicholas Ngoy, who will brief you in details on the modalities required to move this fund out of London. Your involvement and assistance in this project attracts 10% of the total sum.

For proper identification, enclosed is my picture together with my little daughter.

Truly yours,

Mrs.mary L.Kabila.

I regret this informal mode of contact to your esteemed personality , it was initiated out of my outright desire to enter into a mutual business relationship with you. I obtained your contact from a reliable source on a business listing information service during my search for a investment opportunities in your country and after due consultations with my opinion adviser, I decided to contact you believing that by the grace of the Almighty God, you will accept me to be my partner in a Business Venture.
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in theexecution of a the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties . Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a Director, Project Implementation and with the
cooperation of three other top officials we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling Twenty Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars (US$24,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. Moreso, we are handicapped in the circumstances as the Nigerian Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to
operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. The amount represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to foreign bank account .we have include our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials from the Federal Ministry of Finance
and the Central Bank ofNigeria (CBN) We are seeking your assistance in providing a vital
account or any virgin bank account into which we can remit this money by acting as our main partner and trustee. This we can do by swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of you. This processes being pre-arranged with the principal trustee of the original contractor and with the consent of the original contractor. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$24.5 million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe on your part .Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. Endeavor to e-mail me to know your position and include your confidential telephone and fax numbers.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Attn: SIR

I am the new Senior Accountant with the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Mineral Resources. Your contact was gotten through the corporate office of our Commerce and Trade Ministry, who recommended you as trustworthy and honest person.

Based on this recommendation; I have deiced with some colleagues in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Ministry to contact you secretly on this business for the arrangement of transferring the sum of(US$25,000,000.00) Twenty Five Million U.S. Dollars only to your company&#65410;&#30196; or personal account through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The monies are expected to be in your account within 14 working days, starting from the day I receive your banking information.

This business is a RISK FREE business. I and two colleagues of mine will be in your country as soon as this fund is transferred into your account for Disbursement. Please do not disappoint us, for this is a God sent opportunity which we might not see again for the rest of our lives.

I am Jewel Taylor, wife of the Liberian Ex President, Charles Taylor. I secretly moved into Ghana enroute Nigeria in accordance with the political asylum granted the Taylor family by the Nigerian government.

In contacting you, it remains my deepest desire to find a trustworthy individual who can offer help in a mutually beneficial acquaintance. Before i left Liberia, my husband Ex President Charles Taylor authorized me to begin the process of recovering specific family funds held by security companies in Europe.

Being in political asylum entails restriction from travels, so it remains practically impossible to carry out this process myself.

However, a third party, not in any way connected to me, and with my approval could effect the transfer. I specifically need you to effect the transfer of US$40,800,000(Fourty million, eight hundred thousand dollars) earlier deposited as diplomatic consignment with a security firm in Netherlands.

I have contacted this firm, and they have acknowledged being in possession of the above stated sum. My husband Ex President Charles Taylor, being gracious enough in his deposit request, instructed the release of the amount to his next of kin(my humble self) either in case of any eventuality, or with his authorization. He has provided me with all relevant document needed for the transfer.

At this point, i would like to assure you of the safety of this transaction
as only members of the Taylor family are aware of the existence of such funds.

If i stand convinced that you can handle this transfer, i will release to you all necessary legal documents so that you can proceed to Europe to physically collect the money which was deposited in two trunk boxes.

In the course of this business however, I would need your confidential phone and fax numbers, your full names and permanent address and most importantly,your own word, as a person of integrity as regards the strict confidentiality needed in this process.

As a form of gratitude for your assistance at the completion of the transfer,you would be entitled to 10% of the total sum, and a further 5% to cover your expenses in the form of phone bills, hotel accommodation, air fare and miscellaneous.This gives you 15% of the total sum.

I am desirous of hearing from you soonest, as time remains precious. Please let me know your stand so i can either commence with the process or continue sourcing for another partner.

Regards,

Mrs Jewel H Taylor

Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, knowing the truth and the truth have set me free. Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God s mercy and glory upon my life.
I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, having seen your contact from the Internet. I am Barrister KALU AUGUSTINE KALU, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. Bright Williams, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25 years before they both died in the plane crash late last year. These couples were good Christians, they so dedicated to God but they had no child till they died. Throughout their stay in my country, they acquired a lot of properties like lands, house properties, etc.
As their legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr. Bright Williams instructed me to write his WILL. Because they had no child, they dedicated their wealth to God. According to the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money be given out to a ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents for the properties were in my care. He gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to the Ministries for the work of God.
In short, after their death, I sold all the properties as instructed and I was able to realized $10,000,000.00 (Ten million US dollars). Instead of giving the fund out for the work of God as instructed by the owner before his death, I converted the fund to myself with the intention of investing the fund abroad for my personal use. I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank, because I have to give account to the bank on how I got the money. I then packaged the fund in consignments and deposited the consignments with a security company. I did not want the management of the Security Company to know the content of the cons ignments, therefore I registered the content of the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security company believes that what I deposited with them was Gold Bars. 
I had encounter with Christ when Pastor Benny Hinn was preaching on television concerning Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave my life to Christ and became a born again Christian. As a born again Christian, I started reading my bible and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous truth from his righteousness, and committee iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby". From the scripture, I discovered that the only way I could have peace in my life is to do what is lawful and right by giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by the owner before his death.
I have asked God for forgiveness and I kn ow that God have forgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's wok as instructed by the owner before his death.
After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the chosen ministry that deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the Internet as I was browsing through a Christian site, and as a matter of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I picked on the Christian site initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to me through divine revelation from God, so these are how I received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I got your contact information, and I then decided to contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God.
I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignments that contained the fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad and the security company has since been waiting for my authority for the consignment to leave my country and move to abroad.
So if you know that you will use this fund honestly for things that will glorify God's name, then do urgently contact me back first through this my alternative email address only (peterangops102@withheld.net)and the details will be given to you on how you will be able to receive the fund in your country through the security company.
You should also forward to me your telephone and fax number for easy communication and to fax you the documents concerning the consignments.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours in Christ.
Barrister PETER AUGUSTINE KALU

Good Day,

It is indeed my pleasure to write this letter which I believe will interest you. I secured your contact from internet surfing and we believe it was devine. 

My Name is Milton Teahjay, a Liberian Citizen resident in Nigeria. We require your assistance in concluding a transaction which involves $USD 80.2 M from Diamond sales that originate from embattled Liberia. These diamonds were brought by an associate and a former official of the exiled President Charles Taylor’s government in Liberia as they are banned from selling such white diamonds due to United Nations sanctions and by international law. We want you to be a front for us and to lay claims to the funds which are presently in the custody of a security company.

Your full cooperation is essential. We are unable to proceed alone with this transaction because the civil service code of conduct laws, here in Nigeria, strictly prohibits us from engaging (openly) in private business or operating any foreign account,hence my search for a foreigner whose company and account we can deposit the funds at the end of it all.

We are in summary, proposing to use this funds and your details to purchase a mining company in Accra,Ghana. Negotiations are already on towards this end. It may also interest you to know that we shall not hesitate to abide by you advise as regards other business ventures you deem viable. Please note that these funds are fully legitimate as the certificate of deposit has been issued and the prospecting licenses,issued by the government, were transfered to the buyers of the Diamonds.

I ask that you keep this communication strictly confidential as the two senior partners involved are very highly placed government functionaries(here in Nigeria) and would not like exposure.

Please go through this letter carefully and if you are interested in assisting us, kindly notify me urgently by email as time is of the essence in this transaction. Upon your acceptance to assist us, I shall provide you with more detailed information on the procedures and also negotiate the percentage due to you for your assistance.

My Sincere Regards,
Milton Teahjay

ACB BANK LIMITED.
LAGOS-NIGERIA,

Dear Sir,

I am MrDAVID GODSON, Bank Manager of Africa Continental Bank Lagos, Nigeria.I have urgent and very confidential business proposal which I know might interest you.

On June 6, 1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a Fixed deposit of his money with my bank, valued at S$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his home address but got no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder letter upon which we finally discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died in car accident on the highway. On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin or relations in his deposit mandate with my bank.

This sum of US$17,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safe-keeping. the arrangement was perfected in such a way that there will be no trace of the funds from any quarter, since no one will come for claim. According to the Law of my country, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will diverted to the ownership of our Federal Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Now my proposal is that as a Foreigner, I will present you as the next of kin and partner to the depositor,for the funds to be approved and paid to you. the funds is contained in a sealed trunk box deposted with the security company as photographic materials and family items for export.

I am writing you because myself as a public servant, can not operate a foreig account or have an naccount that is more than $1m.I have worked out necessary arrangement for this transaction and you can be assured that there is no risk involved.

I would not want this mail to get to you as surprised or embarrasement,my intention is to move the funds into your country and invest it in a good business venture, for this reason I want to work with you as partner.Should this proposal interest you, kindly call me on 234 8033376024 or send me an email, to enable me give you more details about this. I have resolved in my mind to give you 15% of the total amount for your assistance, including 15% from every proceed or urn-over which the funds will generate from investmentin the future. The procedures for handling this transaction is simple, all the documents relating to the deposit of the funds including death certificate and an affidavit of claims will be proessed and send to you.

I want you to treat this matter with utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be of mutual benefits for both of us,because my intention is to move my family to your country where I want them to reside for safety. I will require your assistance to make residence arrangment for them and to invest my share in your country.

How are you today 

I am Mr. Omer Hassan, the personal assistant to the chairman in charge of the sales of Petroleum Products in the republic of Iraq. My office monitors the sales and lifting of Petroleum Products by Foreign dealers. 

When the first face of war that is now engulfing my country was staged by the US Army, my boss was badly hurt as the Iraqi Palace was bombed. Though he did not gave up the ghost instantly, on his sick bed in a military hospital, he disclosed to me in confidence that in his residential home, in al-Yussufiyed in the south of Baghdad, in his bed room, beneath the ground, was buried, a silver trunk box containing Thirty Nine Million United States Dollas ($39m). He instructed that I will hand this over to the Military Government of our country as a support for the purchase of armoury for the US attack. I went and discovered the treasure but as fate may have it, before I came back, my boss had died.

I had no alternative than to escape with the box.The entire family members had been looking for me certainly, to take this box from me. If I continue running around with this box, I may end up being caught. So, with the help of a taxi driver who took me from Amsterdam port, I was able to deposit this box in a Security Company Nethelands as a family treasure tagged "PHOTOGRAGHIC MATERIAL".After the deposit,I went into hidding as a refugee in a country I will disclose to you thereinafter as the family members of my late boss are all looking for me with a price tag.I wanted to settle in Netherlands but it became too hot for me as there was a rumour that I am taking refuge there. I fled.

I am therefore, asking for your kind assistance to clear this box from the Security Company in Netherlands. If you agree to do this, you will be offered 30% of the fund, you will keep the remaining 70% for me. As soon as you notify me that this fund is in your custody, you will now tell me how to come to your country to start life anew as all my family and properties had been destroyed by the US Army. I'm optimistic that with your vast knowledge of investment in your country, I will excel. INSHA ALLAH!.

Know you fully well that it is only you and me that know the real contents of this silver trunk box.

If you are interested in assisting to clear this consignment, please send me your private phone number so that we can have a chat, your most confidential fax line to enable you receive all the document concerning this silver trunk box, your driving licence or recent passport photograph as a mare identification, this could be done through scanning and more importantly, your residential and office addresses.

As soon as I receive the above and the assurance of the safety of the fund under your custody, I will fax to you all the documents concerning this box for clearance protocol.

I hope you will not betray the trust bestowed on you. Hoping to be of great business relationship with you. Awawiting your earliest positive response.

ATTN:PLEASE

Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.I got your email address while searching for a trustworthy individual.

Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.I am Mr John Johann, an auditor with Ned Credit Bank, Johannesburg, South Africa .

MY PROPOSITION:
A Foreigner a french, Late Engr.Peter Claude (Snr) a merchant in The Republic of South Africa, Formerly working in Witwatersrand Johannesburg Gold Mine, Johannesburg South Africa until his death few year ago in Kenya Air Bus (A310 - 304)Flight KQ431, He banked with us at Ned Credit Bank Johannesburg and had a closing balance as at the end of September, 2000 worth $30,800.000.00 (Thirty Million eight hundred United State Dollars), (this is aside the accrued interest so far from that date) the bank now expects his next of kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Claude's Family or Relatives but to no success. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Peter Claude (Snr.)'s next of kin . The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, Thus that arrangement will be made for the fund to be decleared "Unclaimed" and subsequentlly be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in General.

In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I, now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the late Engr.peter Claude (Snr.) so that the fund will be released and paid into your Account as the beneficiary/next of kin. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer(Claude) was a foreigner and a Local person here in the country cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased's beneficiary(ies), and more so we are assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free. Your share will be 30% of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for any expences incured during the course of transaction, The rest of 60% will be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes, According to agreement between both parties.

Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where-in the money will be remitted . I will also instruct you on how you can add in your application to our bank so that you get paid through our corresponding bank overseas as this will be easier for us. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.

Please note that for the purposes of confidentiality, all further correspondeces would be through my alternative email address:jjohann002@mail.com or through my telephone +874-762-919-885.

Accept my warm regards as I await your response.

HI!

Johannesburg, South Africa.

 

Dear sir,

 

We want to transfer to overseas the sum of One hundred and Forty Two Million United States Dollars (U.S.$ 142,000,000.00) from South Africa. I want to ask you to kindly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new bank account immediately to receive this money,though an empty bank account could serve this purpose as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in time to come. I am Dr.Gregg Haword,the external auditor of a Bank.During the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account died without a �Heir apparent to the throne� hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account who is Mr.Eshed.B.Willey, a foreigner and an industrialist died, since 1990,until now no other person(s) knows about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account. As such this account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Eshed.B.Willey until his death was the manager Oriental Diamond Company,in South Africa. However, if you are interested in this business we will start the first money transfer with Forty Two Million U.S.Dollars(U.S.$42,000,000.00) upon successful transaction without any disappointment from you. We shall also re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. While the total amount involved is One hundred and Forty Two Million United States Dollars (U.S.$142,000,000.00)only. I would want us to make a first transfer of [Forty Two Million United States Dollar.(U.S.$42,000,000.00)from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid international foreign �Agreement�, but could only be approved to any foreigner with valid international credentials: passport or drivers license and foreign account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and the former owner of the account Mr.Eshed.B.Willey is a foreigner too, thus the money could only be approved into a foreign account. However, knowing all this, we will reach a binding agreement in this regards. As a matter of urgency, I will inform you the next step to take, while you Send your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together before transferring the money to any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments,I need your full co-operation to make this business a success, because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you,upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with the instructions of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down. With my influence and the position in the bank we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. And to build confidence that you can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act as directed. To prove the authenticity of the business I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries, foreign exchange departments, embassy and Board of Internal Revenue Services. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. I look forward to your earliest reply through Telephone,Fax or my email address.

 

Yours truly,

 

Dr.Gregg Haword.

FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.CHUNG LI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.

Dear ,

I am Mr.Chung Li, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd; I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.


On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/ contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty-eight Million Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith Lawrence died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.


I therefore made further investi! gation and discovered that Mr. Smith Lawrence did not Declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit Paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 
US$28,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of 5 (Five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of Kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the Hands of some corrupt government 
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide Immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary Documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next ! of kin. We shall 
employ. The services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
Necessary documents and letter of probate/ administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.

The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 85% for me and 15% for you.

There is no risk at all as the attorney will do all the paperwork for this transaction and my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately to my email box.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.

Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be Most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in Your country. Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards.

Mr. Chung Li

THE SOUTH AFRICAN HOME OFFICE.

THE HAGUE,THE NETHERLANDS.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am an Engineer with the South African Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and I am also a member of the Republic of South Africa Contract Award and Monitoring Commitee in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. It is a pleasure involving you in this project. Although, this may sound strange but I seek your indulgence and pray you view it seriously. 

A year ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$14.3Million. This was done deliberately. The over invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is in a suspense account with the MEMR into any oversea account which we expect you to provide for us. 

For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred by both parties during course of transfer, while the remaining 60% will be for my partners and myself. 

I would require the following: 
1)Bank details (Name and address / Account number/Beneficiary name).
2)Private Telephone and Fax number of Beneficiary. 
3)Name of company/address.

The above information would be used to make formal application as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here, the assumption is that your company won the major contract and sub-contracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of un-related fields win major contracts and sub-contract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections, top government contacts at the South African Reserve Bank and Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this business deal. 

Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our connection withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity. 

Please contact me immediately through my above Telephone or email contact, whether or not you are interested in this business deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this business deal. But where you are interested, send the required information aforementioned herein without delay as time is of essence in this business. I want to assure you once again that this transaction is 100% risk free both now and in the future. 

I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. 

Yours faithfully, 

ENGR JAMES RADEBE.

Subject: committe's initiative to you 

Dear Sir,

We are a team of Government officials that belongs to a committee in the Presidential Cabinet as well as the Senate. At the moment, we are in need of a very vast businessman or trader who will be capable of handling our investments offshore. Based on a recommendation from an associate
concerning you, we deemed it necessary to contact you accordingly.

All arrangements in relation to this initiative, as well as the Initial Capital for this has been tactically set aside to start off whatever good business or venture you may draw up a proposal on. We request you immediately contact us if you will be favourably disposed to act as a partner in this venture, and possibly will afford us the opportunity to discuss whatever proposal you may come up with. Also bear in mind that the initial capital that we shall send across will not exceed $8,000,000,00USD (Eight Million United States Dollars. So whatever areas of investment your proposal shall cover, please it should be within the set aside capital.

Please note that all discussions as well as our communication will be done via the Internet if we are satisfied with your person as our partner. In this regard, the proposal you may wish to discuss with us should be comprehensive enough for our better understanding; therefore, we advice that you focus on the following:

1. The tax obligation in your country
2. The initial capital base required in a Limited as well as:
3. The legal technicalities in setting up a business in your country with foreigners as share-holders 
4. The most convenient and secured mode of receiving the funds without our direct involvement. 
5. The profit margin of the suggested business

Another area that we wish to give you an insight of is the area of Incorporation. Since we are the owners of the funds, we shall incorporate the business here, and this will assist us in the long run to instruct for the remittance of the set aside Capital to you without any suspicion from any quarter of our direct involvement, and also should we intend to get established in our country it will appear here as an already incorporated company with you overseas.

The commencement of this project is based on your ability to convince us of the need to invest in the business and to trust your personality and status.

We await your response via email or fax number below.

your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains.

I hope this message will reach you in the best of health and receive your prompt attention, even as we have not had any previous correspondence before.

 

I am the Chairman of the Audit Investigation Department at the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission , the body statutorily empowered by the government to formulOur investigation shows that within this stated period, 683.753  billion has actually been collected by NNPC from the sales of crude oil whereas only 482.544 billion was paid by NNPC into the Federal Account this leave a short fall of 201.209 billion.

 

Based on this finding, we the member of the audit investigation now approached the Head of the Finance and Account Department (FAD) to find out from him the reason for the sthe Federation account of the Government by his corporation which he was not able to convinced us and after much delibration with his top management on our finding, they now come up with an offer to us of giving us Twenty Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand ($29.5) United State Dollars as a kick back to enable us to write a report that they actually paid the correct amount into the Federal Account which we finally accepted the offer.

 

But the problem now is that  as civil servants we are not allowed to operate domiciliary nor foreign account, therefore, we cannot claim this fund locally from the corporation whom executed a contract and the contract was completed by the beneficiary to enable the bank of the corporation to transfer the fund out to the beneficiary ,hence the necessity for this

contact with you.

 

We have decided to embark on this transaction now that we are almost approaching the end of the civilian administration for the period which a new civilian government would take over power come May 20th, 2003. Our aim is to present your name as a true beneficiary of the fund to enable us to claim the fund from the establishment.

 

The total fund (US$29.5M) will then be remitted into any designated bank account as shall be recommended by you. The relevant authorities will be made to believe that your company or you  executed some contracts for my the establishment  to which payment is due to effected.

 

In this regard therefore, you will be required to present a suitable bank account that will accommodate the total amount of fund. The moment the bank account details are received from you, it will only take a maximum duration of 7-9working days to have all documentations complied and the fund remitted to your account.

 

On completion of this transaction, we have resolved to give you 25% of the fund for your efforts and assistance rendered; 5% will be used to settle any expenses that might be incurred on the process of this transaction both from our end and your end while the remaining 70% will be for us.

 

Kindly reach me through the above email address  signify your interest in this proposal and your willingness to assist in its realization.

 

Permit me to stress the confidential nature of this transaction and does not matter any particular field of trade to prosecute this transaction. Above all, let trust and honesty be our watchword throughout this business.

 

Many thanks and kind regards whilst I wait in anticipation for your assistance and may God continueto bless you.

Greetings, My Friend,

 

Permit me to introduce first myself then the purpose of this letter.

 

I am Mr Hassan Sanusi, Bank Manager of ORIENT BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you and it is carefully explained for your understanding as follows.

 

On June 6 1997, an American oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time account (Fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly has since died from an automobile accident.

 

On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

 

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some undeserving and corrupt officials.

 

This is simple, I will like you to provide me immediately with the following; your full names, date and place of birth and complete address with confidential telephone and fax numbers so that the attorney will

prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary

documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

 

A bank account in any part of the world, which you would provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

 

If you are interested, Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via e-mail.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Mr Hassan Sanusi.

DIRECT TEL: 008821688854690

EMAIL: REMOVED

REPUBLIC OF BENIN COTONOU.

 

DEAR FRIEND,

 

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remmittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. I am writing following the impressive information about you through an internet buisiness proposal.

 

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $6m, Us dollars ( six million US Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer who died along with his entirer family in November,1997 in plane crash.

 

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.

 

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the decease for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund.

Dear Friend,

BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$15.6 M (FIFTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) & BUSINESS INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP

 

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction,this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret as you were introduced to us in confidence through the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division.

 

I am Alhaji Gidado Musa, the Secretary of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring

Committee (CAMC) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF).

 

Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a conglomerate of Foreign Companies by my committee on behalf of PTF,

the contract was over-invoiced to the tune of US $15.6 Million.This was done deliberately, the over-invoicing

was a deal by members of my committee to benefit from the project, we now desire to transfer the money,

which is presently in a suspense account of PTF in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) into an overseas account

which we expect you to provide

 

We have agreed that the following funds will be shared thus after it has been paid into your account;

 

a)       20% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund.

b)       b) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transaction.

c)       70% to us the government officials (which we wish to commence an important business in conjunction with you).

 

I Would Require

 

a)       Name and address of Company/ Beneficiary

b)       Your Bank Account Number, Bank Address and Information

c)       your personal fax and telephone numbers.

 

The above information would be used to make formal applications as a> matter of procedure for the release

of the money and onward transfer to your nominated account.

 

It does not matter whether or not your company or you does contract projects of the nature described here, the assumption is that you won a major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies, more often than not, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win major contracts and subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts.

 

We have strong and reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and The Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubts at all that this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partners to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through the same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned government ministries for 100% security.

 

We want this money to be transferred to the foreign account which you are going to provide bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or running foreign account, all expenses regarding the account opening if not already in existence shall be borne by you, all expenses are however reimbursable as already stated above on conclusion of business.

 

Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter if you are interested through the above email address. I wait in anticipation of

your co-operation.

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

Alhaji Gidado Musa

I am Mrs. LOUISA EJERCITOR ESTRADA, the wife of Mr. Joseph Estrada the former president of Philippine located in the south East Asia.

 

My husband was presently impeached from office by a backed uprising of mass demonstrators and the senate. During my husband's regime as president of Philippine, I realized US$21.540 millions of dollars from various contract projects I executed successfully. I had planned to invest this money for my children's future on your area of industrial production. My husband is not aware of this because I wish to do it secretly for now. Before my husband was impeached from office, I concretely and secretly deposited this money and declared it computer ledger cards with diplomatic security company that transports valuable goods/consignment through diplomatic courier service to their offshore offices. The consignments that are contained in the two trunks are declared are owned by my foreign business partners.

 

I wish to discuss how much I will offer you if you will be willing to assist me claim the money and invest it in your country.

I am the first son of the late Mobutu Sese Seko, the former President of the Congo Republic.

 

I am presently under protective custody in South Africa as a political refugee. I got your contact during my search for a stranger that can cooperate with me in this mutual transaction.

ago. Now the crisis has ended and I need a trustworthy person like you to proceed to the place of the security company in order to clear the fund and invest on my behalf as I don’t want my name to be used for now.

 

Note that I will send to you the relevant documents that will enable you take possession of the fund for onward investment for our mutual benefit. All I need  from you is as follows:

 

1. A letter of commitment (dully signed) that you will keep the transaction strictly confidential.

2. Your confirmation of your ability to handle this.

3. Your international passport or driving license number for identification to the security company.

4. Your telephone and fax numbers for communication.

5. Your full permanent address.

I will forward your name and particulars to the security company to enable them contact you accordingly. I will also send to you a  LETTER OF AUTHORITY to enable you clear the fund on my behalf. Note that this is a very safe transaction as this money is my share of my father's estate. i am waiting for your response to enable us proceed.

Creek banjul,

Amsterdam, Nederlands.       CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

 

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my apology. The purpose of my introduction is that I am CREEK BANJUL, the first son of  NKONO BANJUL ,the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.

 

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. . It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum.

 

Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.

 

Now the family have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free.

 

If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number and E-mail:creekbanjul@netscape.net while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU

Good Day,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising  to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.

 

My name is  Owen Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer  from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching  for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons.  However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.

 

The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father foresaw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and  was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe.

 

President Mugabe's support for the violent  Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here.

 

I need to transfer this money to  an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why  I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you.

 

You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Africa!  to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me.

 

For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply.

I have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% ($580,000,00) for Charity donation.

 

If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting with opening an account, then 85%will be left in the account here for me. Please, I want you maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.

 

You can reach me on my direct line which is 31 613 444 535 or via email REMOVED.

 

Sincerely, Owen Mubane.

  Financial controller & Contract Award Committee

  Chairman (NEPA)

 

  Dear Sir,

 

  REQUEST FOR URGENT/CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.

 

I am DR.SUNNY IZUALO. the financial controller and Contact Award Committee Chairman in the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) in Lagos, Nigeria. My colleague have assigned me to seek for assistance of a reliable foreigner through whom we can transfer the sum of US$38,600,000.00 (thirty-eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars) which arose from the delibrate over inflated contract value for the General expansion of the Kanji Dam Termal Station on behalf of National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) for increased energy generation to Nigeria and some other west African countries. The contract was awarded in 1998 during the General Sani Abacha regime to an expatriate firm with the consideration for 5% commission agreement on the total contract value of  US$1,930,000.00 The contract has been completed and  the contractor has long been paid, we are left with this US$38,600,000 representing the 5% our own share as agreed presently in the Federal Government account.

 

The current favorable political/economic climate in this country now presented an opportunity for this money to be transferred out of the country.

 

A friend who was formally restating in your country gave me your contact address. He told me that you are trustworthy though he did not know my intention. This assurance gave me courage to link you up for this particular transaction, and l hope it will be of mutual benefit to all of us.  Our contract in the Federal Ministry of Finance have given us a go ahead advice to begin the process of the remittance, hence we have set in motion the machinery for the take off this transaction and further action will commence immediately we hear from you. We have that after the transfer of the money into your account, you shall be entitled to 30% of the total amount transferred, 5% for sundry expenses, while the remaining 65% will be for us. We decided to give you this percentage in order to motivate you and also to let you feel satisfied at the end of this transaction.

 

The nature of your business is not particularly relevant for the success of this transaction. All we require is your willingness to corporate and assurance that our own share will be given to us when this money is transferred into your account. All necessary precaution have been taken to ensure a no risk situation on the sides of both parties and it is believed that the conclusion of this transaction will not last more than 14 working days,. However, we are going to retrieve the whole documents that will relate to this transaction and destroy them after the transfer of the money into your account to avoid any  trace of the money.

Since we have no knowledge of business, our plan is to invest this money into Real Estate, Stock and we can also invest some other profitable business in your country based on your advice because many of our years has been spent as civil servants, and we are may likely resign from government service to private business after this money is transferred into your

 account.

 

Please not that this business is STRICLY CONFIDENTIAL and must not be disclose to a third party. This is necessary to avoid disclosure that may jeopardize the transaction. Finally, if this proposal is acceptable to you, or if you have any question, feel free to contact me immediate on the above address, you should also send to me your private e-mail address, telephone

 number and fax number for easy and confidential communication, l will oblige you with further information if so required.

 

Best Regards.

Dear Sir,

 

We are a team of Government officials that belongs to a committee in the Presidential Cabinet as well as the Senate. At the moment, we are in need of a very vast businessman or trader who will be capable of handling our investments offshore. Based on a recommendation from an associate concerning you, we deemed it necessary to contact you accordingly.

 

All arrangements in relation to this initiative, as well as the Initial Capital for this has been tactically set aside to start off whatever good business or venture you may draw up a proposal on.We request you immediately contact us if you will be favourably disposed to act as a partner in this venture, and possibly will afford us the opportunity to discuss whatever proposal you may come up with. Also bear in mind that the initial capital that we shall send across will not exceed $8,000,000,00USD (Eight Million United States Dollars. So whatever areas of investment your proposal shall cover, please it should be within the set aside capital.

 

Please note that all discussions as well as our communication will be done via the Internet if we are satisfied with your person as our partner. In this regard, the proposal you may wish to discuss with us should be comprehensive enough for our better understanding; therefore, we advice that you focus on the following:

 

1.The tax obligation in your country

2.The initial capital base required in a Limited  as well as:

3.The legal technicalities in setting up a business in your country with foreigners as share-holders

4.The most convenient and secured mode of receiving the funds without our direct involvement.

5.The profit margin of the suggested business

 

Another area that we wish to give you an insight of is the area of  Incorporation. Since we are the owners of the funds, we shall  incorporate the business here, and this will assist us in the long run to instruct for the remittance of the set aside Capital to you without any suspicion from any quarter of our direct involvement, and also should we intend to get established in our country it will appear here as an already incorporated company with you overseas.

 

The commencement of this project is based on your ability to convince us of the need to invest in the business and to trust your personality and status.

We await your response via email or fax number below.

 

Sincerely,

senator James Owode

Subject:   Re:  Committee initiative to you

 

We are transfering the money into your account before the signing of documents for different reasons.

 

1.What are we going to sign on if the money is not there. We could waste your time and the attorney's time and drop the project at long run.

2.We believe the Attorney will want to be paid before the signing of the documents as it is being done here.

3.To show you we are serious about investing in your project.

4.We really have to move enough funds out of the country as soon as possible.

 

We are Government Officials (We are not Businessmen). We can not keep so much money here in the Country. Different Probe Panels has been set up by the Presidency to investigate Government Officials bank accounts and so on. That is why we can not transfer money directly from our bank accounts. That is why we have to go through HITB. You are a foreigner, After you must have transferred the money online out of HITB, it is no more traceable. I hope you can understand.

 

About you coming to Nigeria. We just want to know who exactly we are dealing with. But if you do not have time to come now, you can do that later in the future. But we will like to have your photograph and any means of identification. Send it by mail to me. I personally could have like to come, but we can not get out of the country now. Our international Passports has been seized by the Probe Panel until the Probe is over.

 

Get an Attorney for us as soon as you can and we shall proceed without further delay. If you have friends that have good projects like yours, do not hesitate to let us know. We are fully ready to invest on profitable projects like yours. Send also to us without delay your account number from HITB. I hope you will really understand the content of this letter If you want to talk to me on phone, call me on +234-803-3342439.

My late father Chief Vincent gave me the deposit slip issued to him by by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of my life, it is important.

Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 % of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incure, I am resolving to give you an addition of 2% during this transaction.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred to your account, personally I am interested in estate management and hotel business, please advise me. And promise me and my younger sister to be our guardian considering our situation and not to betray us.

And my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary / next of kin on the day of deposit and also told me I need an assistance of a foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad to ensure a successful hitch free transfer of the fund abroad.

Thanks and God bless

Yours truly

"I was scammed out of $7000.00 by someone posing as a buyer for a car I had for sale. They were from Nigeria and had a cashier's check from (bank name withheld) made out to me for the sum of $9500.00 (it was supposedly owed to them from someone here in the states and would be a quicker way to get me my money). I was to deposit the check and when it cleared, keep my $2500.00 and Western Union the remainder to them. I did this even though I was skeptical because I felt that if the check cleared it was legit and if not I would only be out a $30.00 check fee. The bank released the money to me and I wired $7,000.00 to Nigeria and hours later the bank found out that the cashiers check was counterfeit. The bank held me responsible and was going to have me arrested. The moral here is don't trust anyone even your bank."

"There is a SCAM doing the rounds that folk should be aware of, I will simply call it the “Bank and Benefactor” Scam for want of a polite name. 

Guess what? it comes from the same folk that created the Nigerian Scams.

It goes like this:

Initial contact is via an unsolicited Email from somebody purporting to be looking for next of kin to a deceased that shares the same surname (on behalf of a Bank …in this case Barclays Private Banking). Requesting you to indicate if you are in any way related. 

If you reply (yes or no) they continue the line. In my case I responded NO interest and they replied with a thank you and goodbye.

Within a couple of days another Email is sent , this time purporting to be from the Bank (they used the name of an existing Bank Executive to add credibility) saying thank you and goodbye.

An approach is then made to advise you that since they have not been able to find a next of kin and unless something is done the money will go to the Government. So a proposition it made that they will nominate you as the next of kin and establish an account with a 3rd party bank to receive the funds. The bogus Executive then spins a yarn about how he will put up the starting balance and transfer the funds as soon as possible.

All the time demands are made for you to provide phone, fax, mail, location address details. I declined to waste too much time so by insisting that all contacts be by either Email or FAX due to a severe hearing disability on my behalf. (too much Rock and Roll!)

Then a set of FAX are sent purporting to be instructions for account establishment and transfer of the deposit assets to your new holding account. 

The Scamster then insists on holding a (telephone) conversation to establish the ground rules for handling the ill gotten gains. Whatever you do, do not waste your own money on any phone calls but if you must continue the charade insist that he make the calls (and pay any costs)

Since I was deaf (at least for this event) I declined and instead restated that Email or FAX were essential.

I passed on this and instead suggested that we could meet to discuss the way forward….in my case he wanted London so I insisted on being in Dublin on business and proposed a meeting there. 

I enclosed a nice little bogus photo (a Rugby forward actually) so that we could recognise each other and that was the end of that.

If nothing else I like to incur them a little expense before pulling the plug on the fraud.

In all cases the Emails originated from bogus sites (financier.com) that originate from the same servers that are tied to the Nigerian Scams (ws3-2.us4.outblaze.com) which can easily be identified by displaying the full headers of the Emails. A little work with the excellent tools provided by Sam Spade confirmed all my suspicions and then it was a matter of just how long I wanted to waste their time and spend their money on phone calls , Faxes and bogus meetings.

The FAX correspondence was on forged letterhead with a non-existent location address (checked with London Yellow pages). The 3rd part Bank (in Amsterdam, no less!) was also fictitious and not in their online Yellow pages. So it is relatively easy to see through the fraud. There even was a reasonable attempt at providing a forged SWIFT funds transfer advice. All telephone numbers were privately owned and Mobile phones seem to predominate.

However since this SCAM appears to be well organized and may be convincing to an innocent taken in by the lure of something for nothing I am sure that it could incur a considerable expense and perhaps risk to life and limb if you actually got caught up in the web of deceit and greed.

Take care out there in the WWW."

How are you doing? Guess fine.

I received your mail of 25th Sept 2002 and the contents well understood. I have been busy of recent with the preparation of the final quarterly account of my ministry for the year ending, 2002.

As I stated in my proposal letter to you, the US$33 million arose from the over-invoicing of contracts awarded by my ministry, the Federal Ministry of Aviation to foreign contractors in 1998. Although, the foreign contractors have been fully paid their contract amounts. Of the US$33million, US$7.5million has been successfully transferred out to an account in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico but the women who provided the account withheld the money to herself and closed up all communication with us. Now, the balance of US$25.5 million is what we want to fully transfer to your nominated bank account for our mutual benefits, believing you will not betray the trust we want to bestow on you. As civil servants, we cannot lay claim to this money here in Nigeria without arousing the suspicion of the Federal Government coupled with fact that in this country, civil servants still in government services are not allowed to operate foreign account. The only option left for us is to reach agreement with a foreign partner and transfer the money to a foreign account. This made it imperative for us to contact you for your assistance for the payment of the balance of US$25.5million as the foreign contractor /beneficiary of the contract fund who did contract with our ministry (Aviation). The relevant approval and legal documents from the various government agencies will be secured in your name for the fund, which will be forwarded to you for perusal and records.

For your information, I and my colleague are highly placed government officials with the Federal Ministry of Aviation where this fund we are trying to use you collect emanates. Please, note that this is a deal. We are in control as it is only me and my colleagues that know about the fund. Therefore, you should not be afraid of its legality because we will secure all the approval documents relating to the fund in your name officially and legally as the contractor /beneficiary who did contract with the Federal Ministry of Aviation awaiting payment from the our ministry (Aviation).

The relevant documents, which will be in line with the laws of Nigeria and in accordance with international procedures for funds transfers, will be forwarded to you for perusal and records. Also, our ministry (Ministry of Aviation) will obtain approval documents in your name duly ratified from The National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to certify that the fund is not related to drug,, terrorism or money laundering but contract payment in your favour and same forwarded to you. You will be compensated with 20% share of the total transferred fund of US$25.5 million (that is 20% of US$25.5 million = US$5,100,000 .00)on successful completion of the transaction for your kind assistance and services. While 10% of the US$25.5million has been mapped out to cover all local and international expenses that might have been incurred in the course of the transaction. The remaining 70% (that is 70% of US$25.5million= US$17,850,000.00) will be for me and two other colleagues which we intend to re-invest in any profitable business your country or company as you may advise, under your guidance and counselling as we do not want to repatriate our shares back to Nigeria. 

Therefore, I shall meet you in your country as soon as you received the US$25.5million for our shares and to discuss face to face with you on possible areas of investments. I would want you urgently, forward to me the following information, which will facilitate the speedy transfer of the fund into your nominated bank account.

1. a. Name of beneficiary and address

b. Your private telephone, mobile and fax numbers for easy of communication with you.

2. Name and address of your company (if any), telephone and fax numbers.

3. a. Name of your bank and address

b. Your bank account number and c. Telex/swift code numbers.

Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and all legal modalities for its successful completion had been carefully perfected. It will take fourteen (14) working days to complete barring any delay from you, from the date of receipt of the above information from you. I shall send you my passport photography and those of my colleagues involved in the transaction for your to know whom you are dealing with and to establish trust and confidence on ourselves. 

Please, you should endeavour to keep this transaction top secret and confidential until you have received the money in your nominated bank account.

I look forward to receive your urgent and favourable response for immediate action 

Thanks for your cooperation

Yours truly,

Madu Michelle Oji

ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD25

http://www .withheld.com/ 

Dear Friend,

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.

I am DR. USMAN DAN FODIO,The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS) with Headquarters in Lome, Togo.I got your information in a business directory from the Togolaise Chamber of Commerce and Industries when I was searching for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the directory.

After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of
USD25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.

This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of ammunitions, hard/soft wares,phamaceauticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apperals and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects.

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. 

It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our beleif in the non-stable and sporous
political nature of this sub-region.

The original contractors have been duely paid by the (Central Bank of the West African States)through our bankers-Societe Generale Bank. This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by
any foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organisation is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved.

Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country. It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation,65% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction.

This transaction will be successfully concluded within 10 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.You should provide the following: YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available) THE COMPLETE MAILING ADRRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents and approval with the texts will be sent to you for confirmaton and then forwarded to the organisation for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards.There are no risks involved. I await your urgent response.

Yours faithfully,

DR. USMAN DAN FODI

"This message is pertaining to Nigerian scam letter.
I recently had a email from a women called Mariam Mane, she said she was a widow of the Chief of Defence of security for the Cote d’Ivoire Government. And that her late husband had deposited 2 trunks of$10 million dollars in a security company called Vigars Security Trust Vaults in Abidjan before he died. But she was unable to clear the trunks because her husband left it to a beneficiary foreign partner who was not named on the Certificate of Deposit. She wanted me to be the foreign partner and pay me 10%. Over the course of 2 months i led her on to believe i was interested in helping her, i even spoke to her over the telephone, and the owner of the Security Company VTSV. Plus there was the outstanding balance of $11,000 dollars on the original deposit, which had to be paid for the trucks clearance. She even sent me a copy of the Certificate of Deposit. It is 100% bogus. On no account should you have anything to do with these people they are working together in one of Nigerian's crime gangs. Extremely dangerous individuals. They would want you to fly to Abidjan, kidnap you extort money from your accounts, beat you up if not murder you, which has happened to 15 gulable people, accoprding to other sorces. Please report any communication to the appropriate authorities."

Subject: Transaction

It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. However, I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction of this nature in respect of this, I got your contact through an uprooted search on the internet. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Scott Ogun, I work in a bank at the private banking sector A foreign customer of my bank died under mysterious circumstances in a air crash, until his death five years ago, He had a closing balance of USD$20.5M (Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin. Or, alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six year, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed after this period. The bank will now have the right to do as they please with this money.

Fervent valuable efforts made by my Bank to get in touch with any next of kin (he had no known wife and children) has been unsuccessful. The management under the influence of our chairman and board of directors, are making arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and then be subsequently donated to the trust fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general.

In order to avert this negative development. I now seek for your permission to have you stand as the next of kin. So that the fund (USD$20.5M), would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin  I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 40% of the total amount. You should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within five banking days, after you apply to the bank as the next of kin.

If this proposal meets your approval, then kindly contact me immediately via my e-mail furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax and e-mail, so I can forward to you the relevant details of this transaction. reply to withheld

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

Respectfully submitted.

I AM AKA EZE THE AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA

I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through the website your
capability and reliability to champion this opportunity. In my department, we discovered an
abandoned sum of 20 million US dollars (twenty million US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in September,1992 in a plane crash. Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in
the crash leaving no body behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and
other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after long pirod, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family. We agreed that 25% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction and 70 % would be for
me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is 100% hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awareness as we are civil servants. We can conclude this operation within ten banking days. Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you want.May God be with you. Trusting to hear from you shortly for a detailed information which are
confirmable before you can make up your mind to apply.Peace and love always,

Subject: MUTUAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. 

Having received your information from a very reliable friend of yours who introduced you as somebody who can assist us conclude this deal, hence my mail to you. I am MR. PETER ADAMS Chairman, Contract Review Panel of the NNPC. I have been with the corporation for upward of 12 years and have been occupying the position of chairman for two (2) year now. During this period I have been able to cross check some transactions that took part in the past by my predesessors ranging from awarding of contracts to servicing of some onshore / offshore equipments in the NNPC and after investigation from series of executed transaction, I discovered that there are some payment which has been approved for certain contractor who was purported to have handle some project for the corporation some years back. After repeated efforts to reach them on their nominated address for them to come up and claim there fund, all efforts proves abortive as the purported addresses were not in existence and their telephone lines has been disconnected. I have guided these fund for over 18 months now and since the approval has been made and awaiting payment I deem it a profitable idea to initiate this deal to you to stand as the contractor/beneficiary of the said fund since as a civil servant, the code of coduct does not permit me to operate a foreign account. All you need to do is just to claim ownership of the principal sum US$22.5 million and hold it on trust for us. This deal demands an absolute secrecy since I am still in service and will like to finalise this deal before I resigned my appointment. All ground work has been taken care of by me and the entire transaction is risk free on both sides. Once you receive the money in your account, I will make arrangement to come down to your country and invest my own share of the deal into some blue chip companies that you will advise, since I am not familiar with your country business climate.The entire deal will be backed up with relevant documents in your favour as a bonafide owner of the fund. For your effort, you will be adequately compensated to the tune of 25% of the total sum while 5% will be set aside to defray any expenses that we may incure before the money gets into your account (that is on documentations and administrative expenses). As soon as you receive this mail, send to me your bank particulars which will enable me forward same to the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank for them to raise the approvals and the release instructions which will empower the banks foreign office to release the money to your nominated account, since the money is with the Federation Accounts. I have been informed by my contacts that the whole procedure is going to take five (5) banking days from the date I will nominate your bank details to the authorities. All you need to do is to try and reach me on the above E- MAIL ADDRESS peteradams777@yahoo.com prompt response to this message will be highly appreciated and also assuring you that both parties will have a course to smile in the end.

Subject: Enquiry From Directory Listing At Flexonet

Dear Sir,

please do accept this letter as a distress call from a lost brother-looking out for somebody to love and be loved that will make this world worth living-in again,after two major disasters first in the hands of our supposed leader President Mobutu Sese-Seko who cut short my fathers life in 1996 and most recently the W.T.C attack of Sept.11th 2001 which claimed the life of my most trusted confidant(Mark Giovanni).

Sir,I am Noah Mayele the son of late General Mayele who was brutally assasinated by the President of my country(THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO)the late Laurent D. Kabilla.I was previleged to have undertaken several tours with my late father prominent amongst which was the trip to Cotonou-Republic of Benin where I was made a co-signatory to my late fathers fund with a security firm. He left an instruction that on no account in the event of his death must the fund be released to me without the presence of an Investor,guardian or fund manager

Now,my problem is that on 8th of August,Mark Giovanni visited me in Africa and I took him to the security company in Cotonou where I introduced him as my Guardian and indicated our interest to have these monies transferred to the U.S Certain documents were signed and he returned to America, before the cold hands of death snatched him away in the terrorist attack

Do be informed that our traumatic experience in the hands of Mobutu and his cohorts in 1996 and the attitude of this present regime and my late fathers supposed friends towards us will not allow me
confide in any of them.I was on asylum in Cote d Iviore but had since the visit of Mark Giovanni changed base to Cotonou.The amount involved is $15,000,000:00(Fifteeny million U.S dollars) only, excluding accumulated interest.I hope you will assist me in receiving these funds as my guardian and direct me in useful investment areas,and also,help me secure a permenant stay in your
country after you have come down and confirmed the existence of the funds.

Best Regards
Noah Mayele.

Attn:PRESIDENT/CEO

First, I must solicit your confidence and trust in this transaction. 

This is business of confidential and top secret. I do not want to doubt your capability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this magnitude. I have every belief that you will render me this help base on recommendation I got from a relation and this business will also be beneficial to you.

I am Head of Senate Committee, on Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, when we came into office on May 29th 1999, the Honorable president promised to probe into the activities of the past regime. Due to my experience in the Oil Industry in Nigeria, I was made the Head of this Committee. 

During the course of our probe, we discovered that during the last regime of Late General Sani Abacha, the government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which grossly over-invoiced in various ministries including the National Petroleum Corporation which we are presently probing in the course of the investigation, we discovered a floating sum of US$82,340,000.000 (Eighty Two Million, Three Hundred and Forty Thousand USD Only) in the Apex Bank of Nigeria.However, by the virtue of our being civil servants and members of the House of Representative, we cannot acquire this money in our name. I was therefore delegated as a matter of trust to source for a foreign partner whose company's account will be used to acquire this fund hence we are writing this letter.

We should believe that in soliciting your support we are not making any mistake as our attempt to pull the ideal through with our erstwhile partner Mr. Filipino from Germany ended up with bitter memories, the first batch of US$6,600,000.00 (Six Million Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) from the total US$82.24 million was transferred to his account, he sat on the funds, close the account and changed all contracts thus we could not reach him till date. The balance US$76,640,000.00 (Seventy Six Million, Six Hundred and Forty Thousand United States Dollars only) is presently the subject of this proposal.

We the members of this committee have agreed to share this money using the following percentage 20% for the account owner65% for the officials 15% for the settlements of taxation. This includes both local and foreign expenses during the course of this transaction. I would like to let you know that this transaction is safe and we intend to re-award this contract in your company's name and apply for claims once we receive the following from you by Tel/fax: 234-1-7590946 and the entire transaction will take 14 banking days.

1.Company's name and address

2. Company's bankers, Account number, sorting bank's phone number/fax number.

3.Yours company telephone number/fax number

I am looking forward to doing business with you and I personally solicit your utmost confidence in this transaction. I will bring you into the company picture when I hear from you.

Yours faithfully

Then when the are going to start losing money they close up and move on and start another one. I get into Wealthx sounds like he is a sincere guy and I almost made it to a payoff and then I find out thru the grapevine they closed up. They said it was because a user spammed some web sites. They aren't refunding any money because of the fine print that you easily miss when reading about these opportunities.

DEAR SIR, 

I PRAY THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE MEETS YOU IN PEACE, MAY BLESSINGS OF GOD BE UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND GRANT YOU THE WISDOM TO UNDERSTAND MY SITUATIONS AND HOW MUCH I REALLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE. BEFORE I START LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF MY NAME IS MRS. MARIAM ABACHA THE WIFE OF THE LATE AND FORMER HEAD OF STATE OF NIGERIA GENERAL SANNI ABACHA.SINCE THE (STRANGE AND UNFORTUNATE) DEATH OF MY HUSBAND (MAY GOD’S MERCY BE UPON HIM), THE GOVERNMENT HAS TURNED AGAINST MY FAMILY WITH STRANGE ACCUSATION.AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE VENDETTA FROM MY HUSBAND’S ENEMIES BUT I WAS WRONG.THEY ARRESTED MY ONLY SON OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THE FAMILY AND THEN THEY FROZE ALL OUR BANK ACCOUNTS KNOWN TO THEM, HOPING THAT WE WILL STARVE TO DEATH. WHY CAN’T WE ALL LIVE IN PEACE? SINCE I CAN’T DO ANYTHING IN MY POSITION HERE, THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN. 

MY FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH HARDSHIP, MY SON IS IN JAIL AND THE REMAINING ONES AND MYSELF ARE UNDER HOUSE ARREST. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBANSANJO HAS SEIZED MORE THAN US$88 MILLION DOLLARS ALREADY AND THEY ARE STILL SEIZING A LOT OF LAND AND PROPERTY. ALL THAT IS REMAINING NOW IS US$42MILLION DOLLARS, AND THIS MONEY HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLACE I CANNOT DISCLOSE, UNTIL WE MAKE PERSONAL CONTACT. WE CANNOT TOUCH THIS MONEY IN NIGERIA FOR YOU KNOW WE ARE UNDER HOUSE ARREST AND ARE BEING SERIOUSLY WATCHED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP – STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and “TOP SECRET.” Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you first by your email due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed that it will take at least two to three weeks for a normal post to reach you. So we decided it is best using the email.

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Dr.Eric Ogunmola, a director general in the Petroleum Ministry and I head a Six-man tender board in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. I and my colleagues are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review and Award Panel. Our duties include evaluation, vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done for the Petroleum Ministry, etc. In order to commence this business, we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds.

The source of this funds is as follows: During the last military regime here in Nigeria, this committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) to five construction firms on behalf of the Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and installation of Oil Pipeline from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this process my colleagues and I decided amongst ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum to US$436,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with the main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has since approved the sum of US$436,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) has also been paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract entitlements for the contract done, but since each of the companies is entitled to US$80,000,000.00 only, we are now left with US$36,500,000.00 balance in the account which we intend to transfer abroad into a safe and reliable account to be disbursed amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the ‘Code of Conduct Bureau’ (Civil Service Laws) from opening / operating foreign accounts in our names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names. I have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), hence we are writing you this letter.

My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your company will retain 20% of the total amount of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), while 70% will be for us (members of this panel) and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred (both local and foreign) in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You must however, NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as we have stated below, as we have heard confirmed cases of business associates running away with funds kept in their custody when it finally arrive their accounts. A very good and recent example is the one of Mr. Peter Hopwood, the President of Mileage Trading and Investment Company at Number 121, West 55th Street, 21st Floor, New York 10022, and former Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick Opia), who we were reliably informed that after the agreement between both partners in which he was to take 15% of the money, while the remaining 85% for Nigerian Officials. With all the required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into his account, only to be disappointed on their arrival in New York and were informed that Mr. Peter Hopwood was no longer on that address, while his telephone and fax numbers have been re-allocated to somebody else. This was how they lost US$18.5 Million to Mr. Hopwood. This is a very recent story here in my country and everybody is aware of this, some of the officials decided to cry out and face the law, because they felt they had lost too much to a stranger, while the Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick Opia) is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we are taking all precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in our case. This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based completely on the following:

(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.

(
b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.

(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our share (70%) on demand after you have removed your 20% and all expenses have been settled.

(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about yourself to put our minds at rest.

Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude the business in Seven Bank working days from the date of receipt of the necessary information and requirement from you.

Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I will bring you into the complete picture of the transaction when I have heard from you.

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already behind schedule for this financial quarter.

Thank you and God bless.

Yours faithfully,

Dr.Eric_Ogunmola.
N.B.: Please, be reminded that this business transaction is 100% legal and risk free.

During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died onNovember 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any clai of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this  development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and my partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful during the  time of execution.The said amount was USD$19m (ninteen million united states dorllars). As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foriegn business relations here in LOME-TOGO. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a busines of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist u and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next o kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request asit may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that thi transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer both local and international like telephone bills,e-mail bills inclede the documents fees, while 60% will be for me and my partners.

DEAR , 
I am Mrs.Aishatou Rasak, an Ivorien widow with an only son Dan Usman Rasak. My husband was the chief security officer to the ousted president Henry Bedie of Côte d'Ivoire.

I am using this opportunity to seek for your assistance to move this money to your country, to be invested on behalf of my only son.

OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN 
CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTE 
ECOWAS HEADQUARTERS 
LOME,REPUBLIC OF TOGO 

Dear Sir, 

ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD10M 

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. 

I am AYO,MIKE,The Chairman, Contract Awardind committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS)with Headquarters in Lome, Togo.I got your information in a business directory from the Togolaise Chamber of Commerce and Industries when I was searching for a reliable, honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with. I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the directory. 

After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of USD10,000,000.00 (TEN Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account. 

This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of ammunitions, hard/soft wares,phamaceauticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apperals and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects. 

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. 

It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our beleif in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region. 

The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central Bank of the West African States)through our bankers-Societe Generale Banque.This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organisation is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved. 

Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country. 

It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. 

This transaction will be successfully concluded within14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.You should provide the followings; 

YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available) THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE COMPLETE MAILING ADRRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. 

Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents and approval with the texts will be sent to you for confirmaton and then forwarded to the organisation for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards.There are no risks involved. 

CALL ME UP RECEIPT OF THIS MESSAGES FOR MORE DETAILS ON MY TELEPHONE NUMBER 00 228 064790 FOR MORE DETAILS.

REPLY ASAP.

The following are letters received by a netizen. Notice how the author of this Nigerian scam tries to prey on your sympathies, changes his name, and gets a bit frustrated when the document he sends is not enough proof to ease the receivers worries.

I am sending this message to you with the hope thatyou will understand it's content and as well co-operate, as it will opportune us the privillage to establish mutuality and do to one another a life time favour.I got your contact from your country web. I am Charlesumo    Mosanga UGANDAN national. I do not intend to take you too much aback but ,I belive if you  listen to the B.B.C. news or if you are conversant with the political events in Africa, then you should be aware of the recent assasination of the president of THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO President Laurent D. Kabila ,on tuesday the 16th of january 2001. This assasination was executed by my half brother COL.RACHID KAPENGA who's father  hails from Congo.He was thepersonal bodyguard to the President. Prior to the president's death, my brother  had surmmoned me and my mother to our family home in KAMPALA the Capital city of my Country .He showed to me certificate of deposit and other valuable documents belonging to a security company based in LOME the Capital city of  TOGO  inWest-Africa. He further disclosed to me that the President had secretly deposited the sum of Thirty Eight Million  Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ( $38,700,000.00 ) Without revealing to the security offcials the true contents of the consignment as it was deposited  as a trunk box containing valuable and top secret governmental documents. He said the president had instructed him to quickly go to Lome and claim this money and hand it over to his friend president Charles Taylor of Liberia West-Africa for the purchase of ammunition to strengthen the military force of the  Congo Army, following a percieved  attack from the opposition forces of the United Anti  Kabila Front . However,my brother was the president's most trusted guard and this gave him a direct access to the president's family  and fortunately and as God will have it, a member of the Kabila family who was very close to my brother hadearlier informed my brother that Mr Kabila was planning a massacre on all his opposition and might certainly  extend to all his guards as he intends employing new ones for fear that his guards are too close to his family and as well know too much about his secrets.  This is why my brother visited us in Uganda to hand us these documents and ask us to go to LOME and claim this money for our own use without telling us what his next intentions were as he was so much in a hurry to go back to Congo. I had barely arrived Lome when my mother called me to inform me that my brother went back and killed his boss,  President Laurent D. Kabilla and  as such he was equally killed by other guards who did not know what my brother knew. Now, with the new developement at hand no other person knows about this except my mother and myself and I intend to transfer these funds out of here as fast as I can that is why I am contacting  you. If you are willing to assist me get these funds into your Country, I am willing to offer to you 15% of the total sum. I have succeeded in aquiring a mobile phone . Therefore,you can contact me on the telephone numbers ( +228 035 155) or you can contact me on e:mail : REMOVED I await your soonest response.
Thanks and God bless.

Please, endeavour to get back to me soon. Thank you and God bless.
Sincerely,
David.

My dear (name withheld),
My phone number is ++228 035 155. I which I had cash I would have called you. God Bless.
Charles.

Dear Friend,
Thanks for you mail. My full names are as follows: David Charles Mosanga, you will find this out when you take a look at my passport copy which I will no longer waste any time in sending across to you now. I understand your apprehension by not being able to come down here. Nevertheless, there are ways we can conclude this transaction successfully without endangering our lives, there is no threat to our lives in the first place. I will try to enquire from the security company tomorrow if it will be possible for them to transfer and deliver the consignment to my foreign business partner (you) under diplomatic coverage in your country. If this is possible, I will then require you to write to me with your word of honour which will be a binding agreement throughout this transaction that you will not abscond with the funds when the consignment eventually arrives to meet you. In this new arrangeent, I will need to go to the high court of Lome and swear an affidavit making you the official beneficiary of the consignment so that you can claim it when it reaches your country because, you need to possess all the legal documents to be able to claim the consignment. I will thereafter, rely on you to remove the sum of $10,000 from the consignment and send to me to enable me prepare my travel documents to come over and meet
you. Please, do well to inform me if you are comfortable with this arrangement otherwise, I shall begin to make alternative arrangements to conclude the transaction on my own. Awaiting your most urgent response. Thank you and best regards.
Charles.

My dear friend,
I am a young man of 29years of age with a first degree in public administration from the University of Kampala, I am single. I'm not into any hiding as you may think. I have a poor old mother of about 50yrs. Frustration has realy made her very old. God bless you.
Charles

Acknoxledge the receipt of the documents. (mosanga3.zip attached)

I am in receipt of your email. My family until very recently was: my mother, myself, my younger sister and my late brother. My younger sister was involved in a fatal motor accident which led to her hospitalisation and subsequent dead last year. My elder brother Col. Rasheed Kapenga died just this year at the time of the Kabila assasination. My present family comprise of my mum and myself. My brother deemed it necessary to give us this privilege to enjoy from his sufferings, he gave his
life for this concept you know. I mean everything I say and I want you to take me seriously if we must conclude this transaction together. You can contact the security company to enquire about the consignment if you are in doubt. I have never been to the States, I lived and studied between Kinshasa and Kampala, I have travelled to the UK for official assignment when I was working for the government. You have to decide and try to speed up this process because, demurrage acrues daily for the safe keeping of the consignment, the security company charges me $50 daily for the safe custody of the consignment so, the earlier we decide to conclude this transaction, the better for all of us. Please, endeavour to get back to me soon.
Sincerely,
Charles.

This is to acknowledge receipt of your email. My brother deposited this consignment alone, the president had so much confidence in him that he asked him to come to Lome with a private presidential jet which conveyed the consignment from Kinshasa to Lome where he deposited the consignment with Kabila's name as the principal beneficiary as indicated in the certificate of deposit while my brother is the depositor. I was made the beneficiary/next of kin of the consignment when my brother swore an affidavit in the high court of Kampala, Uganda when he came visiting me and my mum like you can see among the documents I sent to you. I have already visited the security company and made my claims, I am under no threat at all and all seems to be going smoothly, you do not have to entertain any more fears, I tell you the truth and you must believe me for us to forge ahead, nobody else knows this deal exist, not even the security company officials knows the true content of this consignment as it was deposited as containing top valuable governmental documents for the DRC. You have to take a decision about this matter once and for all so that we do not waste too much time unnecessarily. I wait anxiously for your soonest response. Thank you and God bless.
Sincerely,
Charles.

It makes me uneasy when you talk the way you do. Look, I have told you everything as it is, I am prepared to conclude this transaction and nothing in This world will ever make me change my mind about this. I am surprised that you still do not believe me. Like I said before, the security company has confirmed that they are capable of transferring the consignment to the US under diplomatic coverage as they have a courier service company which will transfer and deliver the consignment to you probably by air since they have been operating like this before now, I am not their only client. As soon as the consignment is delivered to you, I will need visa to come over, I am not in need of asylum, I want to come to the US legally because, I can afford it. These are my plans for the time being Awaiting your soonest response. Thank you

Charles

 

"NOTE: this was the last he wrote and I have not been writing to him. The last thing I wrote was that I hurt my self  I gave him a sob story. I mentioned I didn’t have any money and that I thought the money and documents belonged to his country and to do the right thing. I knew all along it was a scam. I just wanted him to complete the story and request me to give him some account #’s and names. To see how he would ask me. But that’s it he doesn’t ask he's a sly little bugga. I understood his approach.  

 

NOTE: Here it is. He requested money and for me to send files of personal information to him. Send this on to who ever can get these people. This ran full circle. I have not contacted him since I contacted you. I hope they can get this guy. Have you been reading the Globe about how Africa has been hooked up to the Internet and opened Africa up to the world? Well it also brought them extortionist who are trying to coerce innocent people into complying with intimidation with no regard for the consequences those individuals would face. They have learned the art of extortion with exploitation."

 

I have just come back from the high court and had to write you to inform you of my findings there. I was informed by the court registra that you need to send a copy of your international passport or any relevant ID, your full address, Tel/Fax numbers and the sum of $750 being court fee for the procurement/signning of the affidavit. Please, I solicit for your urgent assistance in sending these requirements as soon as possible so that I can conclude the affidavit which will be a legal power of attorney to your favour. Please, scan the documents(your passport copy) and send via jpg to my email. You can send the money by western union in the name of: Mr. DAVID CHARLES MOSANGA in Lome, Republic of Togo and forward the control number to me so that I can pick it up to enable me conclude with the court proceedings not later than tomorrow.
Please, endeavour to get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you and God bless.

The companies that executed the contracts have been duly paid and the contracts commissioned leaving the sum of US$26.4m floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$26.4m, legally contracting the entitlement to your company.  This is bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbid us from owning foreign company or having foreign accounts while in government service hence the need for an oversea partner.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$12.5 M (TWELVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) & BUSINESS INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP.

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret . I am Dr. Jelili Mustapha, the Secretary of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee (CAMC) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF). Sometime ago,a contract was awarded to a conglomerate of Foreign Companies by my committee on behalf of PTF, the contract was over-invoiced to the tune of US $12.5 Million.This was done deliberately, the over-invoicing was a deal by members of my committee to benefit from the project. we now desire to transfer the money, which is presently in a suspense account of PTF in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) into an overseas account which we expect you to provide. We have agreed that the following funds will be shared thus after it has been paid into your account;
a) 15% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund.
b) 5% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transaction.
c) 80% to us the government officials (which we wish to commence an important business in conjunction with you). I Will Require the following:
a) Name, telephone, fax and address of Company/ Beneficiary,
b) Your Bank Account Number where you wish the money to be transferred, the account need not be an old one, a fresh one with the minimum allowed deposit in it will do, Bank Address, telephone, fax as well as telex numbers of the Bank.

The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your nominated account. It does not matter whether or not your company or you does contract projects of the nature described here, the assumption is that you won a major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies, more often than not, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win major contracts and subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and The Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubts at all that this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partners to assist us in this deal.

Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through the same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned government ministries for 100% security. We want this money to be transferred to the foreign account which you are going to provide bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or running foreign account, all expenses regarding the account opening if not already in existence shall be borne by you, all expenses are however reimbursable as already stated above on conclusion of business.

TEL:(234)1 7592742 
Dear friend, 


(TOP SECRET) 

I am Dessy Maduh, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of united bank for africa(U.B.A)PLC In West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was U.S $11.5M (ELEVEN million FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations . It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. 

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 70% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal. 

I look forward to your email response asap.

RE: REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION 
 
I am DR. BASSEY EFFIONG, Director of Procurement and Contract Award with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I got your contact from the foreign office of the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. It is with trust that I wish to contact you on this matter concerning the transfer of US$41.5 Million Dollars. Sometime ago, a contract was awarded by my Corporation (NNPC) to Alliance Oil International to Service, Turn Around Maintenance and Rehabilitation Work on Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) Plant in Nigeria. This contract was over-invoiced by us to the tune of US$41.5 Million (Forty-One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Myself and some officials reached a compromise to transfer the Fund into a Foreign Bank Account that will accomodate this fund. We have all modalities set. We have been disappointed last year by a Briton Mr. Henry Strand whom we trusted with a transaction of this nature up to the tune $35 Million USD. He is sitting on our money for no apparent reason but we believe that good people like you still exist in this world and we are willing to try again with you. You can confirm the above transaction from Mr. Henry Strand on phone No. +44-7939-662054. He still resides in London and enjoying our collective money and refused to give us our share but we believe that for his act of wickedness to us, he will never go unpunished by God. Because of this we are afraid and we need your total trust and assurance that you must be an honest and straight forward person. 
 
We have agreed to share the money thus: 
1. 20% for the account owner 
2. 70% for me and my partners 
3. 10% to be used in offsetting taxes and all local & foreign expenses. 
 
Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and risk free and we will commence the transaction from the date of receipt of the following information via the telefax number above. 
 
Please if you accept this proposal, send to me by fax. 
1. Your company's name address, telephone and fax numbers. 
2. Your bank name, address, telephone, fax as well as your bank account numbers. 
 
With these information, we are going to put in application for the release of this fund into your account for us all. Due to our sensitive position, we cannot afford a slip in this transaction so contact me immediately through the above telephone/fax numbers for further information on the requirements and procedure for this transaction. 
 
Please treat with the strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency. 
 
Your faithfully, 
 
DR. BASSEY EFFIONG.

"Thanks for operating a scam central! Noble public service. The mail below was received by a friend in Korea, and got her to reply (though she then got anxious enough to phone me here in Singapore): it can hardly be anything but a scam. As I couldn't locate it on your site, I'm passing it along. Any more information you have on it would be gratefully received. I don't have any actual money-loss to report on it... from the data viewpoint that's a gap, but I wouldn't want my friend to pay to fill it!
