Dear Friend,

My name is Mr.Ade Folarin ,General Manager, Corporate and Investment
Banking Division (South) with Chartered Bank Plc,Nigeria. Lagos-Nigeria.I
came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company
to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my Colleagues and
myself.As a matter of fact, I got your information from the Nigerian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry/Nigerian Export Promotion Council.


l write in respect of a foreign customer with A/C
Number:14-2558-2004,who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his
wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money.


You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site;
<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/> The owner of this
account Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialistand a
resident of Alaska.


Since the death of this our customer! Mr. Morris Thompson, I have kept a
close monitoring of the deposit records and accounts since then. Nobody
has come forward to claim the money in this A/C as next of kin to the late
Mr. Morris Thompson. The total amount in the account US$15.5 million and
it is a domiciliary escrow bank account. It is only an insider,the account
owner or a next of kin who has information about the account that could
produce the Code or password of the deposit particulars. Also the funds
can only be released to a foreigner.


As it stands now, there is nobody in the position to produce the needed
information other than my very self-considering my position in the
bank.Based on the fact that Mr. Thompson's family perished in the same
flight accident, leaving no one to put claim of the deposit as the next
of
kin,so I am seeking for your co-operation to present you as the next of
kin to late Thompson, and arrange for the release ofthe funds to your
honour for our mutual benefit.


I! f thereis more delay in moving this money out, this money will be push
ed to the Treasury of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am willing to
share this money with you in the ratio of 70 - 30%. You shall have 30% of
the funds and I shall share the rest with my partner at the bank.I hope
this is a fair sharing?


I look forward to hearing from you urgently so that we can proceed
accordingly.I wait for your urgent response.this is my private e-mail



Thanks and best Regards.


Mr Ade Folarin

Email chrisy_jones@tiscali.it

PLS..REACH ME NOW.

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is chrisy jones; I am the credit manager in a bank here in the
West Africa.
I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from
a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that
everything has been well taken care off, and all will be well at the
end of the day.
I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. To
ease your apprehension,
I got your contact from the British chambers of commerce and industry,
foreign trade division.

I am the account officer of a foreigner named Gerald Welsh who died in
an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an
Egyptian
airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from
the website below which was published by CNN.WEBSITE.
<<http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html>>

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for
this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident(May
his soul rest in peace).
We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for
claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you
stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be
carefully worked out by a lawyer for the funds Twenty- Eight million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars (US$28,500,000.00) in a
domiciliary account to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's
next of kin. Because after four years the money will be called back to
the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the
directors of the bank. So it is on this note.

I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of
kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to
share
this money amongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest
you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus
to
locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of
this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information
if you are interested.

1. A Beneficiary name;. In order for me to prepare the PAPER WORK
for
transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Details particulars of your contact address.
3. Direct Telephone and fax numbers;. For our personal contact.

I shall be compensating you with 25% of the total sum on final
conclusion of this project for your assistance, as I have also thought
of
doling out 5% to charity organization from your locality based on your
recommendation another 5% for the services of the lawyer while the
balance
65%
shall be for me for investment purposes in your country as i cannot
bring back this cash to my country.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me
immediately.
Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you by
informing you of this transaction from my bank

Endeavour to respond via my confidential email address:
chrisy_jones@tiscali.it

Thanks and best regards,

CHRISY JONES

I may have unwittingly added to the spam. The other day I went to play an online game and it ground to a halt. I checked out the processes, and the sent element of traffic was in overdrive!

I had random .exe files called dnsSys.exe, th3n1.exe, winitr32.exe amongst others running their putridescent filth across my network. I have installed Tiny Firewall and watching these apps trying to get access to the 'net is now quite amusing.

Needless to say I'll be HD formatting soon :)

This all came about because I deleted some shareware that also deleted some critical files to an MS patch (eg. "this file is no longer in use" - yeh right!)
 
I've had quite a few of these types of e-mails, claiming i've inherited several million dollars from a guy in a far away country i've never even heard of. The funniest thing was to cliam the money it told me to give them all my bank account details so they could "Transfer" the money, they probably would have transfered some money, my money to their account that is :p. The amount of spelling mistakes was ridiculous aswell.

Dear Frined,

As you read this, I don‘t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.

My name is Saeed Ahmed a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been
diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical
treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according
to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone(not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as
that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know
that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money
in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to
give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity
organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and
Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left
for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
twenty million dollars $20,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 10% for your time and service.

Please reply me with honesty as soon as you receive this mail.

God be with you.

Saeed Ahmed

LOL

At this rate I will be a billionaire in a few days :p LOL

Hello Dear ,


STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

First, I solicit your confidence in this transaction which i propose to you, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET.

Esentially, the business I want to introduce to you is base on trust and sense of purpose. By way of introduction, I am Mr. Nicolas White, the Manager, Bills and Exchange Department of the EQUITY BANK LIMITED. I am the personal accountant to Mr. Wilson Runia, a National of Lebannon, Owner of Cobra Services Ltd, an oil servicing company in Nigeria.

I am writing this Letter to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out this business opportunity in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of USD $20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million US Dollars) in an ccount that belongs to one of our foreigner (Lebanese) customers who died along with his entire Family of a wife and two children in December 26th 2003 in a Boeing 727 Plane crash that happened in Cotonuo-Benin Republic.


BBC NEWS ABOUT THE PLANE CRASH:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm


At this juncture I want to transfer this USD $20 Million dollars into the account you have nominated. I will do the paper work here claiming that you are the next of kin to Mr. Wilson Runia and that you want to transfer the sum into your account abroad.

Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.

Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered that he maintained an account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.

According to banking rules & regulations and Security & Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations guiding deposit such as that of my client. It is very necessary we get this concluded because the bank (Equity Bank Plc), has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated after six months if not claimed and we have just three months left.

We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus; 30% for you as foreign partner, 65% for us the officials in my department and 5% for the settlement of all local and foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this business. Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 65%, we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the fund.

To commence this transaction,we require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your Private contact telephone number, fax number and full name to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.

Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.

Best Regards,
Mr. Nicolas White..
