>>According to him this money is to support your humanitarian activities and to help the poor and the needy in our society.<< Does that mean, Ramsey, that you'll be dishing out some of your new-found wealth to the poor and needy members of this board?  Actually, just to be serious for a moment, the sad thing is that some people actually fall for these kinds of scams. The people who exploit them in this way need locking up as far as I'm concerned.  | ||

Wow! How lucky am I? Dear Friend, It is my pleasure to contact you once again after our unsuccessful attempt on our business transaction. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in transfering the funds without any positive outcome. I am obliged to inform you that I have Mr. Fernando Alvaro Gomez. Everything was perfectly done because we struck a deal with one of the Lady Accountants who we succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from Saudi Arabia works with the Federal Ministry of Finance here in Benin (FMF), who rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully. In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $1.5 Million (One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a CORPORATE VISA CARD. This is from my own share. I did this simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and assistance eventhough we could not succeed due to negative informatiom which you received at the time about the transaction. Presently, I am in Dubai (UAE) for investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring this funds despite the fact that we could not succeed. I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have received your compensation or not. In the light of the above, you are therefore, to contact my confidential- lawyer Barrister Craig Obiako on his telephone line and do send him your contact address where you want the Visa Card to be sent to you. His e-mail address is: barristercraig.obiako@ymail.com Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time. In the moment, I am very busy here in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with him to send the Visa Card to you without any delay. With My Best Regards, Mr. Sochima Nathanael. | ||

It's not me, I swear! I have a theory about these - there are so many of them that have gone out, that one can only think it spread to many many many such potential scammers - almost like it was a mini-business going on in whatever country these came from: you know, "Sign up now for our scam-the-wicked-West business opportunity!" And this leads to my theory - I've noticed that pretty much all of these scams rely to some, sometimes very subtle extent, on requiring the potential "mark" to do something unethical or immoral. Take that very last email: Ramsey is being thanked with probable funds, for something he never did. If he were to try and cash in on this, he'd be dissembling, since he never did anything worthy of thanks by this guy. Same with the first one (posted above). And so, the scammers have perfectly clean consciences about draining the life funds from whomever is stupid enough to fall for them. The wicked only have been snared... the innocent, the good, naturally, have evaded the scam.... | ||

The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working with the UN here(his office enjoys some immunity)I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid,before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.Below website is more information for your digestion: http://www.jonathanforeman.com/military/nyp_iraq/04192003_chest.html I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up.

This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavor to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but i pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.My first demand to you is to ask you for your strict confidentiality on this transaction and total trust too, these two things are the most important things needed to conclude this transaction.

Not to mention... From: Elizavetha Cusova. Chisinau,Republic Of Moldova Hello, Please forgive me if this message comes to you as a surprise I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the Internet database,after series of prayers and God's direction. I am Mrs.Elizavetha Vladimir Cusova a citizen of Repuplic Of Moldova.I was a farmer by profession.But currently undergoing medical treatment. I was married to Dr. Cusova Vladimir who was a sucessfull business man.We went on vacation to India when he had a heart attack and we came back home. My husband later died of that attack and a sickness know as Haemorrhage of the brain due to shock.We have been married for eleven years without a child. However, before we went on this Vacation, My late husband has a lot of business in Europe,America and Africa before he died,he deposited two trunk boxes in a diplomatic security company,one of the boxes is in America and the other in europe right now,and they both contain the sum of (24.5) million dollars in hundred dollar bills. Last week, my Doctor told me that I would not live for the next five months due to my ailing health which sparked off as a result of the death of my husband. Though what disturbs me mostis is my disability to move around due to a partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or a mosque or better still a Christian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money for charity,orphanages. Also for a charity organization i am in contact with in Africa.I have also decided to give 30% for your help. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be mis-used. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death because I know that I am going to die one day. What I need from you is that you contact the security company,and let them know you are the beneficiary of the consignment and would like to claim it from them.I will give you all informations that you will need to open correspondence with them.If you feel you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this project, let me know immediately you read my mail. GOD will surely provide you the power and strength to accomplish this project. Right now due to my failing health condition, i am sending this mail through my nurse Mr Lawrence Brown,I have been adviced to cease communication with anyone but this fine gentle man decided to help me.I hope to hear from you soon. Waiting for your urgent response. Yours sincerely, Mrs.Elizavetha Vladimir Cusova | ||

I admit that I have made rather a mess of things in my capacity as head of this group, and for that I am willing to have my Ł8m pension halved as a gesture of goodwill. Please increase the initial investment by a further 20bn in a few months when, owing to toxic debt issues, my organisation will have to enter into an insurance scheme, underwritten by the same folk who are providing the funds for the original sum.

Church of Christ the king, 11 Castle Street, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, BS35 1HA,London. E-Mail: rev_fr_cwilliams@live.com Dear Beloved , Sequel to the letter sent to you by Attorney Alexander Wilford of Hogarth Law Firm to your address which was returned as undelivered mail, I hereby contact you on behalf of the trustees and executor of (Will) of late British Prime, Sir Edward Richard George Heath. I wish to notify you that the late Sir Edward Heath made you a beneficiary to his (will), he bequeathed the sum of FIFTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY (US$15, 500, 000, 00), to you in the codicil and last testament to his (will). This may sound very strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely popular traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends here or abroad who wished you well. Sir Edward died in Salisbury, England, at the age of (90) years. He served in the Royal Artillery during World War II, rising to the rank of Colonel. He was elected to Parliament as a Conservative in 1950, and held several posts in the party whip's office (1951-55), before becoming Government chief whip and parliamentary secretary to the treasury (1955-59). He was Minister of Labour (1959-60) that led the Tory Government as Prime Minister between 1970 and 1974.The late Sir Edward Heath until death was a real gentle man; a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out, his support to the Church here in England is very fresh in our memories. Quoting former Labour Chancellor Roy Jenkins, a friend of Sir Edward, Mr. Tony Blair added: "He was a great lighthouse which stands there flashing out beams of light,indifferent to the waves which beat against him. He was also a member of several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), here in UK and beyond, his great Philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his lifetime. According to him this bequest is to support your Christian activities and to help the poor and the less privileged ones in your local community and Country. Please if I reach you as I am hopeful; endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable the lawyer executing the (will), conclude his job, you forward your most current telephone and fax numbers including your mailing address. VIA MY PRIVATE EMAIL : rev_fr_cwilliams@live.com I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Friend, My name is Mrs. Rosemary C King I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity through you. You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by the Lord to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds inappropriately. I have asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has, because He is merciful. I will be going in for an operation, and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $15milliom (Fifteen Million Dollars) to charity through you for the good work of the Lord, and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get. Presently, I have informed my consultant about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. If you are interested in carrying out this task, I will inform my consultant, so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you. I know I have never met you but my mind tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely. I decided that 35% of this money should be taken by you from the total sum upon the success release of this fund, because I am now too weak and fragile to do things myself because of my cancer. NB:I sincerely know that a lot has been written about some SCAM coming out of the world, but I assure you that this will never in any way associated with that as you will be given the right to verify this directly with the finance company where the fund was deposited.

Again, this fits my theory - the "perps" are deliberately trolling for greedy rotten marks, who are obviously - by the very fact they reply at all - never going to use the money for the poor helpless children - so the "perps" feel fine with robbing the mark blind. It's a case of: if you respond at all, then by that very fact, you SHOULD be robbed of everything you own.... | ||

John, that quote was scrambled by a coding error. It should have read: "I have been touched inappropriately by the Lord. I wish to donate my late husband to charity for the good work of humanity. I have inherited my hard earned funds and sold my relatives." Well, it makes as much sense as the other quotes on this thread. | ||

I get these relating to a wide range of banks, most of which I don't bank with. But when you get one from a bank you *do* use, it's no wonder some people do get conned (unless they're as badly written as the one you've shown us, Ramsey!). One which nearly got me recently (I mean, I went as far as opening it to take a look, rather than just deleting it without opening) was one from HMRC about a tax refund which looked quite official. The thing is, I'd just send off my self assessment form and knew I was due a refund! Fortunately, I realised in time when I looked at it in more detail.  | ||

If only we had an edit button: "I'd just send off my self assessment form" That should be "sent", of course. But what I actually meant was, I'd filed it online so I could easily have been caught out by an email looking like a response. | ||

I have a theory about these "absurd" spam letters that the minority of people who fall for them are clinically insane (like your character in 'The Count Of Eleven') and the people who make them up know this and are consciously preying upon other people's mental illness. Perhaps they even realise that the more absurd the content the more likely it is to strike a chord with a mentally unhinged reader... a chilling thought. | ||

Ramsey, why did you give them my email address?!? (Though I do kind of feel sorry for the woman... you know, her "cancer problems" and everything....) GREETINGS FROM MRS JULET CARL PLOT 125,WILSON CLIFFORD CLOSE VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS,NIGERIA. PRIVATE EMAIL: julietcarl@hotmail.com PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE THE FUND FOR THE LESS PRIVILEGED. Dearest Friend, I am the above named person . I am married to Dr. Micheal Carl who worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $12,800,000 (Twelve Million, Eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with a bank here. Presently, his money is still under the safe keeping of the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an organization or better still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a fellow that will use this fund on orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and as well because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will inform you on what to do so that the bank will not be reluctant in transferring the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a worthy life as a God fearing person. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in. As soon as I receive your reply with the following information: 1. Your Full name,contact address,Country of origin,proffession and Age. 2. Private telephone number and Private fax number. I shall instruct you on what to do. Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible. Remain blessed in the name of God the most High. My Very Best Regards, Mrs.Juliet Carl | ||

Hello, I am in search of a candidate in your region who can receive funds on behalf of winners in your region. My name is Mr. BRAIN HAGGIN. I live in the United Kingdom. I am presently a financial resource co-ordination/director for a reputable UK based lottery brokerage company. We mostly handle local and overseas lottery payouts for various gaming companies in the UK, Canada, and Europe etc. Often times, funds/payouts which have already been approved by the lottery commission remain unclaimed by the owners , for several reasons e.g. non existence of winners valid contacts, change of address, death, late application of claims, wrongful notification, failed verification etc. In this regard, we are mandated to return such funds as unclaimed to the companys trust a/c. This does not benefit any person, and we have a reason to believe that it ends up in personal pockets, without any compensation to us. The duty of validating claims and authorization final payout rests on my desk as it is, and I have devised a strategy to re-direct such payments from one winner to another. For this I require utmost confidence, hence, I need a person of good integrity to work with in other to protect my job and assure me of my own returns when payment is made. There is no risk in this on your part because every change will be effected legally from our office; all I ask is that you keep it strictly only between you and me as long as this relationship lasts. I believe this venture will mutually help our financial status for a good while. At the moment, I have an urgent need to claim about three reasonable funds in your region ($1,742,000.00; $820,000.00; $ 550,000.00) which has been already approved for payout. All attempts to contact the winners have proved abortive, hence my contacting you. If you agree to a share 50/50% on every collection, we can proceed ASAP. Kindly email me on this email me directly on: brain_haggin@consultant.com and provide me with a more effective contacts. Trusting you in confidence. With Regards, Mr. BRAIN HAGGIN.. Actually, not that bad, except for the obvious mistake in the name. Should read Brain HAGGIS, surely? | ||

The lovely thing about this one is, the original e-mail was formatted in Comic Sans... With Due Respect I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of african development bank (ADB) I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner. But I respectfully insist you read this letter carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial rewards for both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand US dollars (US$10.5m) only, in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plan 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 with him at the plan crash leaving nobody behind to come for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the money could be released to you as the next of kin for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I 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 five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as "unclaimed fu nd". The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage 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 bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location wherein 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. I need a capable and able person who will handle and manage these funds because it is not a small amount of project. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Yours faithfully, Dr ibrahim shorowa, Bill and exchange manager, African Development bank ADB | ||

Payment Director, Corporate Services Division and Head of Swift Transfer Unit of Barclays bank London UK. Sometime ago, in our bank your fund was brought to our bank from National Lotto Group here in England and after some period, the money was taken back to their treasury.

For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the National Lotto Group auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files and our financial update, the earlier you comply with the demands for the transfer of the fund, the faster, because when the auditors arrive and find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will call back the accrued interest to the lotto treasury account. What we need from you now is any form of your identification for example; your International passport or your driver license, your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication to you with your receiving bank details and address, or if you wish to have this fund paid to you through any other means that you find more suitable kindly indicate meanwhile, forward your banking details to us.

I can only hope this isn't a real teacher punctuating like this... Like most American families, Ive struggled in the past with money and finances. In fact, my wife and I were working sixty hours a week as elementary school teachers and still barely scraping by. This wasnt how I wanted to live. This wasnt the life I wanted for me or my family and I finally went out and tried to find something that would help supplement my meager income. Well? not only did I find a supplement to my income, I started bringing in an additional $3,000, $4,000, even $7,000 extra a month! After finding the success Ive always dreamed of, I want to share it with you so that you too can make 2010 a prosperous year. Read my blog and find out how I did it! :D You'll be glad you did! | ||

Sir, Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this discussion which is confidential involving a pending transaction requiring maximum confidence and your co-operation. I am certain and have confidence in your reliability to prosecute this entire transaction. I am the Executive Assistant (EA) to Mr. Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky the President/CEO of the YUKOS OIL CORPORATION (Russian Largest Oil Corporation) with branch offices worldwide. As the (EA) to Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, some documents for $150 Million U.S Dollars was handed over to me for the payment of a foreign contractor. Already Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky has released this funds $150 Million U.S Dollars to Yukos Oil Corp Account with the Paying Bank in Hong Kong from where the final wire transfer is expected to be effected. While I was working on the process of transferring the funds, Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested on the 25th of October, 2003. Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky who was considered as the most powerful of the Russian business oligarchs and was later prosecuted and sentenced to (9) nine years in prison on the 31st of May, 2005 on charges of massive fraud and tax evasion. See the website below to better understand the problem facing Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky: http://www.khodorkovskycenter.com/ http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE5216SZ20090302 http://www.javno.com/en-world/jailed-tycoon-khodorkovsky-in-court-on-new-charges _239284 The Russian government has filed new charges against Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky with an aim of keeping him in prison indefinitely. A wide variety of local & foreign politicians, lawyers and journalists considers the process leading to the imprisonment of Mr. Khodorkovsky to be politically motivated. Mr. Khodorkovsky involvement and financial support for the opposition political party in Russia posed the greatest challenge ever to Vladimir V. Putin who happens to be the current Prime Minister of Russia and was formerly president from 2000 to May 7, 2008. It is widely believed that Vladimir Putin, and the many officials he placed in power during his presidency, will continue to exert significant influence on the government and politics of Russia for many years to come. Therefore, on behalf of Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, I solicit your help so you can stand as the foreign contractor/beneficiary of the said funds after which we can re-profile all documents in your favour which would be forwarded to the Paying Bank in Hong Kong for the wire transfer of $150 Million U.S Dollars from the Yukos Oil Corp Account into your nominated bank account. Upon receipt of your immediate response, we shall discuss the compulsory modalities to see this transaction to successful conclusion. I have all necessary documents to secure the transfer in your favour. Note that you will be entitled to 15% share of the total funds as your compensation for your assistance. I consequently request your maximum assistance and approvals to facilitate the transfer of the $150 Million U.S Dollars from the Paying Bank in Hong Kong, where these huge funds were deposited. In conclusion, I guarantee that this transaction would be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law. I await your prompt reply. Best Regards, Dr. Albert Misbichler. Wait away, doc. | ||

Wow, the Secretary to the Treasury himself! Is somebody becoming desperate? FROM THE OFFICE OF MR. TIMOTHY F. GEITHNER Senior Secretary, Foreign Assets Control The U.S. Department of the Treasury Treasury Annex 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20220 United States of America Tel: +1-(206) 259-6650 Fax: +1-(202) 478-0979 Tuesday, June 15, 2010 Our Ref: USA/TREAS/898ATCP Your ref: USA/IMF/7890/121 COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT RESOLUTION PANEL ON WITHHELD PAYMENTS After reviewing your online email communication messages on your unsuccessful transactions with most European and other foreign banks in Africa, we wish to let you know that we have communicated with most of these foreign banks that withheld most international payments to individual accounts so as to find out why these funds were withheld and the source of the funds. Conclusively, we discovered that most of these withheld and/or unpaid funds being remitted to individual accounts abroad originated from lottery organizations, international trading companies and deceased personals. Such transfer suspension was placed on these funds because majority of these international fund remittance/transfer of over the total sum of $500,000 and above to private individuals account abroad, usually carried out by foreign Banks, Private or Commercial Courier Companies were never properly recorded by the paying institution for future file reference/assessment by Crime Monitoring Units/Agencies. In joint alliance with the HMRC Treasury Europe, the European Financial Service Commission & the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to resolve this issue, we wish to let you know that we have approved to release only the total sum of Seven Million United States Dollars ($7,000,000.00 USD) to enable you start up your own business. Through the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO) to investigate and release suspended, withheld and/or unpaid Inheritance/Award Winning/Contract funds to its beneficiaries account abroad, we were able to gain an approval authorization letter from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which stated that these funds will be released by these European and other foreign banks to its beneficiary on proper confirmation of its claim. By the virtue of the provision of the law which confer on us powers to advocate, adjudicate suspend and authorize an immediate transfer of your funds internationally, we hereby state emphatically and without prejudice that should there be any information that may succeed your application for fund release that are currently deposited in most European and other foreign banks, please do not hesitate to provide us the information so that we will know how to help you receive your funds.

I've joined the military! Hi Major, Good news. After over a decade of requests, I've finally created my own copywriting training system to bring the "new breed" of copywriters to the forefront of the market. My system is based on my 10+ years of full time, high paid, results getting copywriting. You'll learn everything I know about how to create killer sales pieces that pull in leads and sales as well as wow clients. If you've wanted to learn to write copy so you can sell more of your own products, this is just what you've been looking for. On the other hand, If you've always wanted to become a high paid copywriter like me, my system will show you how to pick up that *pro edge.* Click here to check everything out... http://www.copywritingrush.com/copywriting-course/ I look forward to working with you Major, Until next time, Chris Elliott P.S. There are some surprises not mentioned in this e-mail which you'll want to checkout on this page... http://www.copywritingrush.com/copywriting-course/ | ||

Ramsey, did you notice Edward Lee cropping up in your previous example? Was that a bit of tuckerisation on your part? Or is he boosting his literary income with e-mail scams? | ||

"See what happened in future"? I feel a story coming on... | ||

Yeah, fucking partners. Typical. ===================================== FOREIGN OPERATION DEPARTMENT. CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA REF: FGN/CBN/IRD/FOD-X021/010. ATTN: BENEFICIARY, AFTER A SERIOUS THOUGHT, I DECIDED TO REACH YOU DIRECTLY AND PERSONALLY BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, BUT YOURE PARTNERS. I AM THE DIRECTOR OF WIRE TRANSFER/TELEX DEPARTMENT OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA, SOME TIME IN THE PAST YOUR PARTNERS APPROACHED ME THROUGH A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORKS WITH ONE OF THE MINISTRIES HERE AND REQUESTED THAT I ASSIST THEM CONCLUDE A MONEY TRANSFER DEAL AND WE ALL AGREED. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY WANTED TO USE THIS STRATEGY TO TRANSFER A HUGE AMOUNT OF US DOLLARS WHICH THEY ACCUMULATED THROUGH INFLATED CONTRACT AWARDS AND THE MONEY HAS BEEN FLOATING IN THE (CBN) SINCE THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTORS/BENEFICIARY'S HAS BEEN FULLY PAID, SO THEY WANTED TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER THE SURPLUS OUT OF NIGERIA. WE AGREED THAT ONCE I DO THIS, THEY WOULD GIVE ME US$100,000.00 AND GIVE ME ANOTHER US$100, 000.00 WHEN I RELEASED THE FUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT. WHEN THEY SAW THAT I HAVE DONE THAT AND YOUR NAME HAS BEEN APPROVED AMONG THE LIST OF THOSE TO BE PAID, INSTEAD OF GIVING ME THE AGREED DEPOSIT OF US$100,000.00, THEY STARTED AVOIDING ME AND RESORTED TO THREATS.I IMMEDIATELY DELETED THEIR NAME AMONG THE LIST OF THOSE TO BE PAID BECAUSE OF MY POSITION, AND RELEASE OTHER CONTRACTORS/BENEFICIARY FUND WITHOUT YOURS. THEY BECAME ANGRY THE MORE WHEN THEY SAW THAT THEIR PLAN DID NOT WORK, AND STARTED BRIBING OTHER OFFICIALS TO GET ANOTHER APPROVAL TO TRANSFER THE MONEY TO YOU WITHOUT SUCCESS. APPROVALS ARE FREE, IS IT NOT FUNNY THAT A CONTRACTOR/BENEFICIARY IS BEING ASKED TO PAY FOR APPROVAL WHILE HIS MILLIONS IS HERE WITH US? I AM 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DELAY AND OBSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR BREACH OF CONTRACT. IF YOU DOUBT WHAT I HAVE JUST TOLD YOU, PAY ANY AMOUNT THEY WILL ASK YOU TO PAY NOW, AFTER A SHORT TIME THEY WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER REASON TO PAY AGAIN AND IT GOES ON AND ON. NOW IF YOU WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER, THESE ARE MY CONDITIONS. (I). I WILL HAVE 40% OF THE MONEY BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THE TWO OF US LEFT FOR NOW. (II). YOU WILL ASSIST ME TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY OTHER PLACE OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL TRANSFER IN MY OWN SHARE WHEN WE FINALIZE THE TRANSACTION AND YOU CONFIRM THE FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. (III) AS YOU HAVE SEEN, IT WILL BE USELESS AND MERE WASTE OF MONEY IF YOU CONTINUE WITH ANY OTHER PERSON, SO WE WILL CONCLUDE THE TRANSACTION WITH UTMOST SECRECY AND CONFIDENTIALITY. IF THESE CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO LET US FINALIZE ALL THE ARRANGEMENT AND FINALIZE THIS DEAL IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY. BEST REGARDS.
