Stop intruding on my private and peaceful life, you bastard!

Good day,

Greetings:

I am sorry to intrude into your private and peaceful life, all the same My name is Mr. Steven Donald, I work as an accountant in a bank; I contacted you to work together with me in claiming my late client's estate. Unfortunately he died without a registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary status.


You could be made the beneficiary since you share the same last name with him. This has officially transferred the right to you, as no other person from his family knows anything about this fund with our bank.If you are interested in working with me, please get back to me as quickly as possible, so that I give you the details of what we are to do.

I wait for your prompt response so that I can give you more briefing of what you need to and how to do it.

Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards.
Donald.

Dear friend,

I am a legal representative of a well known political personality in South Africa who has some financial interest that need to be legitimized using a foreign national (not resident in South Africa) as a front.

My client has briefed and mandated me to make this contact and open up communication with you for a possible business relationship. While in government, my client used his respected official position to accumulate some funds through the awards of contracts that were inflated, the said funds in question is $5.2m. These contracts have since been executed and the contractors have been duly paid, but the balanced over-invoiced amount remains unclaimed in a transitory account with the ministry of finance, awaiting approval for payment.

My client's brief to me therefore is to source for a bold and trustworthy foreign based business person, who can act as a front in laying claims to this yet unclaimed amount. More details and procedures of how the funds will be released to you as the beneficiary will be discussed after a positive response from you, and be assured that the transaction contemplated with you will be mutually beneficial with a zero level risk.

Be informed you are to benefit or compensated with 12% of the total amount involved,(although still negotiable) please respond A.S.A.P for details if interested, and send your reply to this email address(rolandellis@tiscali.it)

Isn't the money usually split 60/40? Adela Martinez only wants to give me 30%.

I am Adela Martinez, bank manager of Barclays Bank Madrid branch in Spain.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you .On June 6, 2003, a British contractor with the Spanish petroleum corporation (REPSOL), Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered fixed deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 in my Branch. On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent reminder and finally his contract employers, the Spanish petroleum corporation wrote to inform us that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident in Berlin, that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the British Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly in fact was an immigrant from Bahamas and only recently obtained British citizenship few years ago. He did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit paperwork.

The total of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim it, and according to Spanish law after 5years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Spanish Government if the account owner is certified dead. Sequel to these fact, I am looking for a foreigner who will stand as the next of kin to MR.BARRY KELLY. After processing the paper works that will reflect you as the next of kin to our late client you will henceforth become the new and sole beneficiary of the total funds. The total of USD30m will then be paid into an account that you will provide for us in the sharing ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you.

There is no risk at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me using my position and connection in the banks in Spain. And the entire transaction shall be governed by the banking procedures of Spain.You have my words.

This business transaction is guaranteed. Hence you should indicate your interest by replying immediately with your Phone/fax Number or otherwise destroy this letter for my sake and my family. However if you consider it ok, please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be 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. You can also send your reply to my private email address (adelamartineztru@aim.com) Thank you so much and looking forward to receive your urgent reply.

All my regards.

I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.Well, my father died earlier eight months ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king man, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my father's wealth.He left the sum of 12.350 us dollars.

(TWELVE MILLION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSANG)in a security company.This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in ourlocality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction.I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without mypresent because I am a female as stated by our culturein the town.

Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the security company to your bank account, That is why I felthappy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me.

Dear Sir,

Fund Investigation Unit is an international independent fund management outfit recorgnized by the World bank and International Moneytary Fund(IMF)to resolve major financial obligations of nations who have subscribed to it's Multilateral Agreement Bond(MAB) and to suggest how best dormant funds could be utilized in each particular year.

In the course of our duty,we have found large sums of unclaimed dividends amounting to several millions of dollars in various countries of the world.Our effort to locate the investors of these unclaimed equity and dividends have proved unsuccesfull,largely due to the fact that most of the investors had died not knowing the worth of their investments and not mentioning them to their folks.

We therefore suggested and received the approval of the World bank to invest these funds in categorized countries for charity. To achieve this,we sought the assistance of internet marketing firms who advertised and obtained for us email subscriptions of individuals who would like to benefit from this charity disbursement for the purpose of setting up charitable organizations.

These email addresses were used for our recent draw which is our 4th draw since the year of our Lord,2002. You are being contacted because your email address drew one of the winning umbers marked FIU11400307 for the allotment of $3M.

For us to pay you this money,we must be able to certify the following;

1.That you are honest,responsible and dedicated.

2.That you do not have any history of crime.

3.You must be able to spare 2-3 hours daily for charity.

Note that we do not monitor the operations of successful allotees in the discharge of their charity works as we have so many of these organizations in various countries of this world.You must therefore see this as a solemn call to serve humanity and in particular the less priviledged citizens of your country.

Your allotment of $3M is payable to you either through A CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT OR BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT.

For further inquiries,get back to us through this email.
Yours faithfully,

Let me see if I understand this, the Governor of Taiwan Central (Reserve) Bank had $22.6 million in a bank in Burkina Faso. Then (big surprise) he got killed in one of those airplane crashes that always seems to befall foreigners who keep their money in West African banks. Sure, sounds plausible.

Also, this email has one of the more bizarre lines I've ever read: "Their death was uncured Naturally." Huh?

FROM THE DESK OF:MR.KHAMO LATIF
BANKOF AFRICAN (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,

(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL).

I am MR.(KHAMO LATIF) the Director in charge of Auditing section Bank of African (B.O.A)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa.

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficiary to both of us. During our auditing in this Bank, I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner Mr.(Sheu Yuan-dong) who died with his wife and their only daughter on February 16,1998 in a plane crash. The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery to this development.

He was the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)Bank. The said amount was $22.6 m USD (Twenty two Millon six hundred thousand united states of American Dollars). I want you to know that I never master minded the death of the deceased fellow.

Their death was uncured Naturally. Please View this website: [link]

FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A TAIWANESE WILL NOT POSE ANY PROBLEM FOR THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.

All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next of kin to the deceased, has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request. Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after (10 years),the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin. I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.

We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues.

There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Please you have been adviced to keep"top secret"as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you.

I will fly down to your country or any place we shall agreed on for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be discussed. I intend to import Agricultural matriels and Drugs(Medicines) back to my country. On your acceptance to be my partner please email for a brief discussion before we proceed. Please keep this proposal secret,even if you will assist me,I look forward to receive your urgent reply

Greetings

I write you from the claims department of BIA Bank here in Lome, the capital of Togo. We are calling for application from eminently qualified individuals for appointment as Trustee, to receive and manage a huge account which a deceased customer of our bank legitimately Willed to charity.

The procedure he specified in his Will mandates our bank to appoint a foreign individual Trustee, of good social, moral and financial standing to whom the estate will be bequeathed; and who will deploy the money for execution of charity/humanitarian works. As the manager in charge of this department, I want to transact this appointment in such a way that it will be beneficial to us. For me, this is a rare opportunity, so I intend to work in agreement with the would-be Trustee so that only part of the money will be utilized for charity while the remaining will be shared amongst us, to compensate for the time and money we shall invest to see the project through.

With your co-operation I beleive that we can work together to realize this objective. If you are up to 35years of age; in good social and financial standing; and willing to co-operate with me as specified above; that is, to stand as the foreign Trustee who will be appointed to receive this money, then contact me through my contact email address above. You can also call me on telephone number +228 9971360, for further discussion.

I await your kind response.

Burkina Faso again. The only original thing about this one was that the foreigner who left all the money was a September 11 victim.

FROM THE DESK OF MR ANDREW KENNETT
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(A.D.B)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.

Dear Friend,

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT(A.D.B)here in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5m dollars(Ten Million five hundred thousand US dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer(MR.JOSEPH. F. GRILLO)you can confirm through thiswebsite: [link] foreigner and he is the Manager Of petrol chemical service from a chemical engineer by Profession. He died in world trade center as a victim of the September 11,2001 Incident that befall the United State of America, with his entire family in a 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 cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws 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 therefore upon this discovery that I 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 bill.The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me Thereafter,I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore,to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged you must apply first to the bank as relation 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 the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 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.

Trusting to hear from you soon.

I am 36years of age and married with 3 lovely kids. It may interest you to hear that I am a Man of peace and I don't want problem, but I don't know how you will feel about this because you may have double mind.

But I am telling you that this is real and you are not going to regret after doing this transaction with me. I only hope were we can assist each other. But if you don't want this business offer kindly forget it and I will not contact you again.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the regional manager of the International Commercial Bank; it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city (Accra-Ghana) at the end of each year. On the course of the last year 2006 end of last year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Twelve Million Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars [12,850.000.00] which my head office is not aware of it and will never be aware of. I have since place this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary.

As an official of the bank I can not be directly connected to this fund, so this informed my contacting you for us to work so that you can assist and receive this fund into your bank account for us to SHARE. Mean While you will have 35% of the total fund, Note there are practically no risk involved it will be bank to bank transfer all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.

ATTEN: DEAR TRUSTING FRIEND,
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude. This message could be strange but it's real if you pay some attention to it, Due to the confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance and it is imperative for me to know your opinion. In a brief introduction, I am Mr Kevin Gbenou, the Director of Operation with Community Trust Bank Cotonou-Benin Republic. I have a very interesting deal to discuss with you, the deal under discussion has to do with Mr George C.Hudson a national of your country, who was employed as a Consultant/contractor with Societe Nationale Des Products D' Agricole (SONAPRA) a cotton manufacturing company in Cotonou-Benin.

On 25th December 2003, Mr. George C.Hudson with his wife and their only daughter was involved in a plane crash victims with Boe 727-type air plane belonging to African Transport Union (UTA). In this fatal tragidy with Beirut-bound flight, 110 persons died and Over 40 others still reported missing, while 22 passengers survived, you may confirm the event of the air crash throug,[link]. Consequently, Mr George C.Hudson made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar and his account with our Bank accrues to about (Three Million, Two hundred and Fifty- Two Thousand US Dollars) USDM3.252,000.00. Hence my decision to contact you so that you and I will go into partnership hence late Mr George C.Hudson has no other relative to claim his left fund in our bank. However,the nature of your business is completely irrelevant to this transaction as all I need from you is an assurance that my interest will be fully protected once this deal is concluded.

All I want you to do is to ACT as the next of kin of Late Mr George C.Hudson because you are a foreigner like him which makes this claim straight forward, this fund will be reverted to the government ownnership as abaundoned treasury if no body applies as his next of kin. Therefore, you as a foreigner is fully qualified to stand as the next of kin to late Mr George C.Hudson so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials as the expiration period is at hand.

Please note that There is no risk at all, my position as the Director of Operation guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. It is expected that upon the receipt of your acceptance, this transaction will be concluded within 7 Banking days and the money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 40% for you and 60% for me. Please if you are interested kindly reply me with my alternative email: kevingbenou13@yahoo.fr and also you send to me your private phone, or mobile numbers for easier correspondence.or you can give me a call on 00229-93 89 51 24.

Hello, total stranger, I am a highly educated government official and wish to engage in an extremely vague and probably illegal business transaction with you.

Hello,

I am Mr. Aristide de Souza. I hold a master's degree in mathematical sciences from the University of Grenoble, a civil aviation engineer's diploma from the École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC) in Toulouse, and an advanced certificate in business management and administration from ISCAE in Casablanca.

I entered the Benin Directorate of Civil Aviation in 1978, where I first served as Head of the Air Transport Service, and from 1982 to 1992, as Head of the Air Transport Division.

I have represented my country in several negotiations of bilateral air agreements, and at assemblies and conferences of ICAO, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC). I have also represented Benin in aviation-related work of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the Group of Negotiations on Services (GNS).

From 1992 to 1998, I was the Representative of Benin on the Council of ICAO. I was elected by the Council as its third Vice-President from 1993 to 1994 and Chairman of the Technical Co-operation Committee from 1995 to 1996. I joined ICAO in August 1998 as Director of the Air Transport Bureau.

Presently under my custody lies an over invoiced contract funds which I would require a foreign partner to present his identity as the contractor that executed the contract and the payment will be made in his favour.

The contract was for the supply of spair parts for the replacement of some worn out parts of our air flights.

The orriginal contractor has fully been paid and this over invoice residual is not to be paid to them without the knowledge of my ministry.

As soon as I hear from you in regards to your ability to render the required assistnace which I require, I will let you know how to further with the proceedures.

Hello dear

l am Miss Caroline, the only daughter of late Chief and Mrs Julius Alexander.My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings for business. My mother died on the 20th october 1988 and my father took me so special because l am motherless.

Before the death of my father on 29th november 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he called me and made some sympathetic comments: (1) he conplained that I am too young to be managing my life, (2)that I have not finished my university education as he planned for me, (3) that no body is to take care of me anymore , but after much , he revealed to me that he has the sum of US$8.000.000.(EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in asecurity company here in Abidjan. That he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the fund.He passed an instruction to me, that l should seek for a GOD fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose. That I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner abroad.

He told me the money was deposited as an atifact to avoid problem or tamparing by the officers of the company and to make sure I do not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more and more worse the incesant political crisis here. l am honourably seeking your assistance in thefollowing ways:
(1) to serve as my gaurdian in your country whereas I will depend on your expert advise .
( 2 ) to make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country. Moreover, l am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort /input after the successfull transfer of this fund to your account overseas. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within fourteen ( 14 ) days you signify interest to assist me.

Hoping to hear from you soonest. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.
Best wishes

("REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")

Compliments Of The Season,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and
may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and
writing through this channel.I got your contact from the proffesional data base
found in the internet Yahoo tourist search.When i was searching for a foreign reliable partner.I assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity.

After series of prayers/fasting.i was divinely directed to contact you
among other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search.I believe that God has a way of helping who is in need.

I am (Mohamed Adams),the Head of file Department in African development bank (ADB).

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) in a 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 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 along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official 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 bill.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after eight years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60% would be for me and my woman colleague. There after i 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 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 the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 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 on my cell phone number 00226-7885 75 97 immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Your's faithfully,
Mohamed Adams.
