.
I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. And Mrs. John xxxxx (my surname) a national of your country, who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Agama Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.

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 these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 15.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.


Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $15.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 65% to me and 30% to you, while 5% should be for
expenses or tax as your government may require, 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 see this dealt
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my Telephone Number 2348055460435 or email: kalvin_boo@yahoo.co.uk as you are replying reply with your full contact addresses including your bank information?s where this money will be transfer to and a copy of international passport or driving license.

Best regards

We had a client come in who had actually received a letter in the post asking him to help get millions of pounds out of some african country.

I explained these things were a scam and he should throw it in the bin and that the his address would not have been divulged by us or any of the companies we deal with on his behalf. I even showed him emails saying roughly the same thing as his letter.

I dont think he was convinced as he was insistant on taking the letter away with him and asked what would happen if he replied - I told him he'd probably be scammed out of all his money!

You can't help some people all the time

Got this one yesterday

Usually I would reply a few times and strike up a rapour but can't be arsed this time.

Dear Sir,

I know that this email will surely come to you as a surprise, for this surprise I apologise, but I hope that it will be a welcome surprise. Before I run out of steam, I will like to introduce my self and go straight to the point.I,Abubakar Umar a banker and a deputy Director of Union Bank of Nigeria plc. My primary reason for writing to you is to seek your partnership/assistance in a business transaction. I need your partnership and assistance because of the following reasons:

a. it is practically impossible for me to carry out this business alone.

b. you live in a foreign land far away from mine. This should normally not be a requirement, but when you understand the transaction then you will understand why it is important that you live far away from me.

c. The amount of money involved in this transaction is
US$18,500,000.00,(Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) which is too much for a man of modest means like my self to handle in my country. I believe from my few points above, you can begin to get an idea why I need your participation.

Let me explain how the money, which is the basis of this business I am proposing,came about. Before I became a deputy director, some years ago I used to be Accounts Officer to some special corporate customers. One of these very important customers of our bank(Union Bank PLC) was Engineer Manfred Becker an American citizen,who had spent most of his years before his death working in Africa and mostly in Nigeria. He died in a plane crash in 1996 in Nigeria. This money belonged to him. Technically speaking now, it belongs only to his name. The money is payment he received for a contract he executed on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing for the government of Federal republic of Nigeria.

My reason for deciding to carry out this transaction is that Engr. Manfred Becker did not mention any next of kin in any of the documents held by the bank for the number of years he had banked with us. Since 1996 we have searched for any body that could be related to Engr. Manfred Becker, I was mandated by the bank to search or a relation of Engr. Manfred Becker and I did this from January 1997 to December 1999 after which the search was called off in the belief that soon a relative may turn up to claim his estate.

Nevertheless, as it is, there is no relatives Now, the chairman of the bank who is a retired soldier has indicated his intentions for the money. During the last meeting of Directors and Deputies he said that he would donate the money to a military trust if it is not claimed soon, this invariably means the continuous flow of more arms and ammunition. I know for sure that not all of the money will go to the military trust some will surely line his pockets and that of any body who is in support of his plan. My plan is to get a trust worthy person that can provide an account and under my constant guidance present him self as a cousin to the late Engr. Manfred Beckerk. I want you to note that your citizenship does not matter; you do not have to be an American. The papers demanded by the normal procedure for the claiming of an inheritance will take care of everything.

You will be sole beneficiary to the estate of Engr. Manfred Becker. All I need is for you to follow my instructions closely because I am experienced in inheritance matters here and I am on ground here to advice you on every step until you receive the money. Then we meet.

For your participation, we will allow you 30% of the gross. All expenses incurred in the process of this transaction will be deducted from the gross value and shared at a commensurate ratio; this we will do at the end of the transaction, because the money is bonded. An estimated 10% or less will cover all necessary expenses and we will take 60% for ourselves. The most important thing to me right now is trust on both sides. Now the money is still in the care of the bank, I hope the trust will still be there when we must have legally established your relationship as cousin to Engr. Manfred Becker and the money is paid into your account. I need also to trust that you will not tell people or your bank about this business. Collect the money first then I get my share, then you can tell any body what you choose.


I shall need your help to invest in your country; therefore, any experience you have in this area will be beneficial. Surely, you must have some questions or may be you just need further clarification.I will be happy to receive a fax message to this effect, this will enable me explain further what the next step is and the general plan. I will also need your most confidential telephone number and fax number,if you have a mobile phone I believe it will help so that can reach you anytime.

Please kindly respond by email or fax

I look forward to your positive response.

GESCHAEFTSVORSCHLAG

Zuerst muß ich Ihre Zuversicht in dieser Verhandlung bitten, dies ist auf Grund seiner lage als das Sein total VERTRAULICH und-GEHEIMNIS. Aber ich weiß, daß eine Verhandlung dieses Ausmaßes irgendeinen ängstlich und besorgt machen wird, aber ich versichere Sie, daß aller in ordnung seien wird am Ende des Tages. Wir haben entschieden Sie durch faxsendung wegen der Dringlichkeit dieser Verhandlung zu erreichen, als wir davon zuverlässig ueberzeugt worden sind von seiner Schnelligkeit und Vertraulichkeit.

Lassen Sie mich zuerst Vorstellen. Ich bin Abubakar Umar ein rechnungspruefer bei der Union Bank Nigeria PLC, Lagos. Ich kam zu ihrer kontakt in meiner privaten Suchen für eine zuverlässige und anständige Person, um eine sehr vertrauliche Verhandlung zu erledigen, die die Übertragung von einer riesigen Summe von Geld zu einem fremden Konto, das maximale Zuversicht erfordert.

DER VORSCHLAG:

Ein Ausländer, Verstorbene Ingenieur Manfred Becker, ein Öl Händler / Unternehmer mit dem Bundes Regierung von Nigeria. Er war bis seinen Tod vor drei Jahren in einem gräßlichen Flugzeug absturz als Unternehmer bei der regierung taetig, Herr Becker war unsere kunde hier bei der Union Bank PLC. Lagos, und hatte ein schließend kontohaben von USD$18.5M (Achtzehn Million, Fünf Hundert Tausend, US Dollar) welcher die Bank erwartet jetzt fraglos, durch seine Verwandten behaupten zu werden oder Andererseit wird den ganze menge als nichtzubehaupten deklarieren und wird zu einem Afrikanischen Vertrauen-Fond für waffen und Munitionbesorgung bei einer der freiheitbewegung hier in Afrika gespendet wird.

Leidenschaftliche wertvolle Anstrengungen werden durch die Union-Bank gemacht, um in Kontakt mit einen von der Becker Familie oder Verwandten festzustellen aber hat bis jetzt zu keinem Erfoelg gegeben.

Es ist wegen der wahrgenommen Möglichkeit keiner Verwandte der Becker zu finden, (er hatte keine bekannte Frau und Kinder) daß das Management unter dem Einfluß dessen Sitzung Vorsitzender, General Kalu Uke Kalu (Ausgeschieden) der eine Anordnung für den Fond als NICHT ZUBEHAUPTEN deklariert werden sollte, und dann zum dem Vertrauen-Fond für Waffen und Munitionbesorgung ausgeben, die den Kurs von Krieg in Afrika infolgedessen gespendet werden.

Um diese Negative-Entwicklung abzuwenden, ich und einige meiner bewährten Kollegen in der Bank haben abgeschlossen das geld nach ihrer zustimmung zu ueberweisen und suchen jetzt Ihre Erlaubnis damit Sie sich als der Verwandter der Verstorbene Engr. Manfred Becker deklarieren damit der Fond in der hoehe von USD$18.5M würden infolgedessen überwiesen werden und würden in Ihr Bank-Konto als der Nutznießer (Verwndter der Becker) gezahlt werden. Alles beurkunden und beweis Ihnen zu ermöglichen, diesen Fond zu behaupten werden wir zu ihrer verfuegung stellen damit alles geklappt worden ist, und wir versichern Sie ein 100% Risiko freie Verwicklung. Ihr Anteil wäre 30% von der totalen Menge. 10% ist für Aufwendungen bei der ueberweissung bearbeitung beiseite gesetzt worden, während die restlichen 60% für mich und meine Kollegen für Anlage-Zwecke in Ihrem Land wäre.

Wenn dieser Vorschlag bei Ihnen OK ist und Sie wünschen das Vertrauen auszunutzen, die wir hoffen, auf Ihnen und Ihrer Gesellschaft zu verleihen, dann netterweise senden Sie mir sofort über meinen E-mail addresse, Ihrem vertraulichsten Telefon nummer, Fax-nummer und ihrer vertrautlichen E-mail anschrift, damit ich zu Ihnen die relevanten Details dieser Verhandlung senden kann.

Danke im voraus.

Mit besten Grüße,



Abubakar Umar
