Hello

After receiving lots of claims to money from Nigeria, a country that apparantly has billions unclaimed in it's banks, my first personalised e-mail (my surname is Boxley):

"Dear Boxley,

I am Andrew Huji a solicitor at law. I am the personal
Attorney
to Mr. Eric Boxley a national of your country, who lived in
Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client was involved in a car accident
along Sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposit was lodged. Particularly, the city trust
finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about 9.8
million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next Twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I now seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at 9.8 million dollars can be paid to you.
If you agree, we can discuss your percentage. I have all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Awaiting your
response.

Best regards,

Andrwe Huji(Esq.)"


Steve.

Reply along the lines of...

Thanks for letting me know that I can pass myself off as a Boxley family member, I have contacted the relevant authorities and can claim all by myself, thus missing out the middle man (that's you you **** MR Andrwe Huji) and take all the 9.8 million myself, no percentage of, just ALL of it. Thanks pal.

That's a dangerous road that Sagbama expressway. If I'm ever a multi-millionaire and find myself in Nigeria, I'm not using it, I'm very likely to die in car accident and some unscrupulous git is going to pocket all my hard earned.

Oh here was one I recieved yesterday.......

Good day,

I have to first of all apologise for taking unawares by
the contents of this message. I had to send the message
straightaway because of the short time involved in what
I demand of you. Please treat this message with utmost
seriousness and swiftness.

Apart from the fact that you will be adequately rewarded,
I will forever show my gratitude.

I am Mr. Aroujo Tao Savimbi, son of the late Angolan Leader
Jonas Savimbi who was killed last year. I got your contact
details from the internet because I really have no time and
I needed an anonymous person abroad whom I hope I can trust.
I pray I am not making wrong judgement by coming to you.
Jonas Savimbi deposited a large sum of money with a security
vault in Europe that is my late fathe. The movement of members
of his family (including me) is restricted.

Other members of my family and I do not have access to
any of these deposits with banks in Angola and Europe so you
can see how desperately we need your assistance.
Both government officials and fraudulent relatives are trying
to get their hands on my father's wealth by claiming that the
wealth was gotten through arms smuggling and illegal sale of
diamonds.

You can find out more about my late father by checking this
profile at URL below:

http://www.rte.ie/news/2002/0223/angola.html
http://www.rnw.nl/humanrights/html/vitoria1020814.html
http://www.zzam.org/Full/Africa/Angola/History/Angola_History_Leaders



I have spoken with the security company and the operations
manager has agreed to release the two trunk boxes in their
possession to whomever's name I issue a power of attorney
as the new beneficiary of the deposit. This security company
has US$50,000,000.00 each and precious materials which my
father lodged in their safe keep in Europe before his death
so I will give you their contact and relevant documents
including power of attorney to allow you access to the
two trunk boxes of money.

The whole idea is for you to receive this money physically,
set up bank accounts in Europe and transfer in bits into
your home bank accounts before my government even knows
what is happening. My father was a rebel leader in Angola
before his death. You must follow my instructions as stated
above the transfer of the funds because it will be difficult
for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an
individuals account moreso, when you have no prior relationship
with us.

I am currently and temporarily living in refugee camp and I
will be communicating with you on a satellite phone.

We have to keep this transaction very secret because of the
political situation in Angola at the moment. I shall send
you a password and information that will include power of
attorney and the contact of the security company as soon as
you are ready to proceed.


Could you please send your full names, address, confidential
telephone and fax number to enable me issue a power of attorney
to you and refer you to the security company in Amsterdam for
immediate payment.

Please reply to my confidential e-mail: savimbi2003@tiscali.co.uk

Yours sincerely,
Aroujo Tao Savimbi

I salute you in the name of God, the most high God. I am Mrs.

Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum
while 75% is to be held on trust by you until we can decide on a
suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our
free movement by the Nigerian Government. Please, reply urgently
and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.


Yours sincerely,

Hajiya Mrs. Mariam Abacha.

I had about 7 of those yesterday from a "Francis Sankoh." <frcs113@hkem.com> .. though my person seems quite poor compared to yours!!

MR.FRANCIS SANKOH.
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA.
TEL.(225)07-98-77-61

INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

ATTN/

I am MR. FRANCIS SANKOH, I got to know of you
courtesy of International Business Bureau here in
Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Sequent to my zeal towards
foreign investment and also security for my life and
my possession, I therefore write to give you a Break-down
of this proposal.

I was the personal confidant to the president of
Sierra-Leone (ALH. TEJAN KABBAH) who was formerly
pushed out of office by a military coup carried out by
disgruntled soldiers. However, when these soldiers
strucked His Excellency was forced to run into Guinea
Conakry on exile, some of his closest aids left for
some other countries. While these events took place I
decided to move to C?te d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) with my
family and a treasure containing the total sum of US
$12.000.000 (Twelve Million US Dollars) which was part
of the cash left under my control within the
presidential mansion where I was in charge of
securities.

With the help of an Ivorian farmer, I was able to move
this money to Abidjan. On arrival here in Abidjan, I
immediately deposited the treasure containing the fund
into a private Security Company for safe keeping,
although the Security Company is not aware of the
contents as they were deposited as personal effects
and artefacts.

Right now the situation in my country has returned
normal and I do not want to go back. I am seeking for
a partner who shall serve as the guardian of this fund
with whom I can plan the best way to move this money
for investment purposes which is my motive for
contacting you to actualise the project. You are
required to assist in the following manners.

1) That you shall be required to provide a good Bank
account where the money could be transferred and
where taxation will not take much toll on the money.

2) That you shall serve as the general overseer and
guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter.

3) To assist in providing me and my immediate family a
permanent residential permit in your country after the
money must have been transferred to your account.

For these services a suitable percentage (%) will be
mapped out for you after you have shown your
willingness to assist. So if you are interested reply
me via email for further details.

Having stated the above clearly, I expect to receive
your response soonest as I do not intend to have this
transaction delayed.

Please treat this as highly confidential.

Thank you and God Bless.

Yours Truly,

FRANCIS SANKOH
