I got this one today, bunch of sick conniving bastards, just wondering whether I should send an e-mail back telling the to piss off!

Indian Ocean's Tidal Wave disaster (Asian Tsunami)


From: David Lungu Esq.
David Lungu and Associates
Private email: [e-mail]

Dear Sir,


Compliments, and do please accept my highest regards and Esteem. This proposal might come to you as a surprise due to the urgent need of a reliable foreigner; I therefore deem it necessary to contact you. I am Barrister David Lungu, a solicitor at Law and the personal attorney to late Mr. Martin Chey a Thai Nationale Residing in Johannesburg South Africa, hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.

On the 22nd of Dec. 2004, my client, his wife and all their three children traveled to Thailand for the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, my client Mr. Chey and all his family died in the most terrible and highly horrible Indian Ocean's Tidal Wave disaster (Asian Tsunami) of the Dec. 26th 2004.

Ever since these tragic and traumatic events, I have made frantic efforts to establish contacts with his relatives, but could not succeed. Due to the fact that considering the nature of my client's business dealings, He never presented any name on Documentation as his possible next of kin. I am therefore with all sense of humility decided to make contact with you in order to assist in claiming and retrieving the money left behind by my client before the credit house know of his demise and probably get the funds confiscated or even declared it unserviceable by the finance and credit institution where these funds were deposited. I solicit your urgent assistance and co-operation as a foreigner for easy passage of the funds to your designated Bank account.

Mr. Chey was a successful businessman and was involved in cash transactions due to the nature of his business. He was engaged in buying of Raw Gold and Diamond from His suppliers in the mineral - rich equatorial belt of central and southern African Countries, after which he sends the consignments to Bangkok in Thailand for processing and onward shipments to Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The amount of money kept in the custody of the finance and credit house is USD 25.5 million Dollars only. Since I have been unable to locate his relatives after all my frantic efforts, I am therefore compelled by this circumstances to seek your consent to present you sir, with my position as his legal adviser as his next of kin or business associate of the deceased so as to enable you receive and collect the above funds. All other further information's to that effect at my disposal will be made available to you upon your consent and the acceptance of the project.

The funds when retrieved and successfully secured will be shared thus: - myself, the attorney 40%, yourself the presented next of kin 30%, while 20% will go to Charity and possibly the Tsunami victims through you, in line with my clients belief and support for Charity as a great philanthropist during his life time, the balance of 10% will be for contingency expenses to be incurred during the process by both parties. I assure you the fullest and absolute co-operation and a hitch free operation in this regard. I equally guarantee you total protection against any breach of the law in line with my legal profession.

You are indeed very free to ask questions you deem necessary for further clarifications, and please endeavor to always keep secret all information's concerning this transaction.

Your most urgent response will be highly appreciated through my private email address [e-mail] to avoid my making further contacts.

Regards.

Barrister David Lungu.

Here's one aimed at Christians.



IN GOOD FAITH
From: Mrs. Agnes Samuel.

Life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what can be of it.Those that
can tell what can be of it are those who cannot tell us because they are
far from us (dead). if u will want to hear my story.

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment for cancer
now.

I am married to Dr. George Samuel who worked with South Africa embassy in
Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. well i will only
try to let you know who Dr.George Samuel is by stating his philosophy of
life ."life is worth living only if lived to the service of mankind"
and
"You make a living by what you earn,but you make lifes by what you
give"This
will give you an insight of the spirit behind what i believe and what
i will live for cause he is my mentor.

To continue with my story,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 have made something of and from life.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or adopt a child,this is basically
my own decision to honour him for the love we shared and the life we lived
for. My late husband deposited the sum of$27.6Million (twenty-seven Million
six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance company in Europe before
his death.

Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer
problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition
I decided to donate this fund to a church,better still a Christian
individual or a moslem that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein.

first you must embile and live with my husbands philosophy,as stated
above.If you can't remember please i refer you to read through from the
introduction of this letter cause this the most important aspect that you
must uphold.

Secondly i want an organization or an individual that is God fearing who can
invest the money and continously use the money to fund orphanages,widows,the
less priviledge,the disabled and all those afflicted with strange illness or
diseases.

Thirdly this money should not be used in an ungodly manner,or any form of
evil or ishness for that will warrant evil to that persons life and family
from generations to generations. For you cannot use the hard earned money of
my husband and i for evil or ungodly purposes.

If these conditions are met i am not afraid of death for i know where i am
going to and my heart will rest in peace. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health, for as soon as I receive
your reply I will refer you to the contact of the Finance/Security Company
in Europe and my doctor who shall arrange you the letter of claim from the
Malaysia High Court of Justice. This will be done if i see from your
response that you satisfy the above condidtions stated.

As i stated My doctor will issue you a letter of authority that will
empower's you as the original- beneficiary of this funds (consignment). i
choose this means to locate you because i am sure i will be lead by a good
spirit to the kind of person that will be honest. Delay in your reply will
not be of benefit to me due to my health condition and this will propel me
to search for someone else.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you.

In His Services.
Mrs. Agnes Samuel.

Poor Mr Hamid Rahman is making this heartfelt request from his hospital bed - AWWWW!



It might come to you as a surprise to receive this kind of letter from me due to the fact that we have not met. I have to say that I have known intentions of causing you any pains by contacting you through this mean.

My names are Mr.Hamid Rahman, a businessman in Dubai; I have been diagnosed with esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only a short time 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 rich, I was never generous; I was always focusing 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 I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in my country U.A.E. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I have done on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to some charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I don't trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have given to them. The last of my money which is a large sum of 35 Million US Dollars (Thirty Five million US Dollars) deposit that I have with a Finance company abroad.

I will want you to help me collect this deposit and distributed it to some charity organizations and let them know that it was I Mr.Hamid Rahman that is making this donation.

I'm sending you this email from my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me carrying out this project of mine with good faith

Regards,

Mr.Hamid Rahman

YASSER ARAFAT!?

Dear Friend,

I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris.

Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister headed by MAHMOUD ABBAS.

I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment.

You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some funds in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refuse to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government.

And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the Moslem community has no regards for women, more importantly when the woman is from a Christian background, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.

I and my late husband deposited in my name the sum of 22 million dollars cash in a trunk box in a finance firm in Europe in 2003. Names withheld for now until we open communication. i will be glad if you can assist me to go to Holland, confirm the content and claim the $22 million USD cash in $100 dollars bills for me as my beneficiary.

After the claim, the fiduciary will assist you to transfer the cash with their Bullion van to ABN -AMRO where a non-residential account will be opened in your name and the cash deposited for onward transfer to your account in your country.

You and I will know this arrangement alone and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my moves.

In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, i promise to give you $5 million of the $22,000,000 and the balance will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, ZAHWA, will come off age and take full responsibility of her Family inheritance.

Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in life time and more so, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children. In case you accept proposal, I will give you the contacts of my Attorney in UK who will assist you legally to claim the funds.

But if no, please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information on total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate it if you accept my proposal in good faith.


Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Suha D. Arafat.

GRA,PHASE 1,PORTHARCOURT. RIVERS STATE OF NIGERIA .
over the years ,OIL RESPONCE has been involve in engineering and procurement

an urgent need to step up our involvement in nigeria schemes of things.
over $300billion is spent anually on the procurement of materials and
services in the uptsream sectors of the nigeria oil and gas industry .the
potentials and compitence of nigeria companies/suppliers operating in the
upstream sector of nigeria oil and gas industry is far from been realized.
for instance over 70%of all the activities /jobs in the industry are carried
by foreign companies of the rest 30%,about 20% are carried out by partnership
between foreign and nigeria companies while the rest 100% which represent
less than 100% of the of the total spend in the industry are shared among
indigenious companies .over 90% of all technical jobs are caried out by
foreign companies .while the rest 5%of the total spend in the industry are
shared among indigenous companies.

in line with Government policies on achieving 40-70% local content in the oil
and gas industry by the year 2010,now is the time reppraise our involvement
in the scheme of things and make an attempt at developing our capacity and
capability as this will compliment nigeria government ,multinational oil
companies for capacity and capability building.

we intend to develop packages that will profile OEM/OILRESPONCE (like shell
sea Eagle FPSO,Bonga FPSO, EIfFSO Unity,Erha FPSO, Agami Field,etc).our first

Mow the Koreans are getting on the bandwagon:

FROM: MR JANG DOO-HWAN
EMAIL:[e-mail]


Greetings from me and my family,
Getting your contact was not an easy task
because since I am not
computer literate, I ordered my son to seek a
partner very far away and he
went to the institute of International Business
to apply and he paid
them the charges. After two days we were given
three names and I did not
write the three but merely close my eyes in
prayers and your address
became my selection. I intended to write one
of the others if you had not
responded on time or if you eventually change
your mind. You see my
friend, if you rely solely on God, you will never
go wrong.
My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of
Mr. CHUN DOO-HWAN, the former
President of South Korea who seized power in a
military coup in 1979
and who ruled from 1979 to 1987. My brother
was pushed out of office and
charged with treason ,corruption and
embezzlement of over 21billion
won. He was wrongly sentenced to death but
fortunately AMNESTY
INTERNATIONAL stepped in and commuted the
sentence to life. We thank God
that he
has finally being released though still under
house arrest in the sense
of conditions of the freedom. During my
brother's regime as president
of South Korea, we realized some reasonable
amount of money from various
deals that we successfully executed. I have
plans to invest this money
for my children's future on real estate and
industrial production.
Before my brother's was overthrown, I secretly
siphoned the sum of
$30,000,000 million USD (Thirty million United
states dollars) out of
Seoul
and
deposited the money with a security firm that
transports valuable goods and consignments
through diplomatic means. I am contacting you
because I want you to deal with the security
company and claim the
money on my behalf since I have declared that
the consignment belong to my
foreign business partner. You shall also be
required to assist me in
investment in your country. I hope to trust you
as a God fearing person
who will not sit on this money when you claim
it, rather assist me
properly, I expect you to declare what
percentage of the total money you
will take for your assistance. When I receive
your positive response I
will let you know where the security company is
and the payment pin code
to claim the money which is very important.
What we need is to indicate
your interest that you will assist us by receiving
the money on our
behalf in Europe or with special arrangement,
you can get it transfered to
you by bank transfer . For this, you shall be
considered to be the
beneficiary of the money. The project in brief,
is that the funds with
which we intend to carry out our proposed
investments in your
country, is presently in the custody of a
Diplomatic Courier Services
Company
in Europe. We cannot do this ourselves
because we do not have any
relatives living outside South Korea and
moreover we do not want the
government of my Country to know about the
money because they will believe
I
got the money from my brother while he was
still in office as president
.Once you confirm the receipt of the money ,I
will come over with my
Children to your Country or any Country in
Europe to start a new life
with my Family. As soon as payment is
effected, and the amount mentioned
above is successfully transferred into your
account, we intend to use
our own share in acquiring some estates
abroad. For this too you shall
also be our overseas manager of all our
properties and you will be paid
based on a certain percentage agreed on by
both parties. For now, let
all our communication be by e-mail because
my line is right now conne
cted to the South Korean Telecommunication
Network services therefore
we can not take the chances of being heard.
Please also send me your telephone and fax
number. I will ask my son to
contact you to give you more details on after I
have received a
response from you. I am going to introduce
you to him as an age long
friend
so
as to prevent him from using any of his own
friends who I regard as
sycophants who are around him for financial
gains and treacherous if he
gives them this opportunity. This I got from the
experience I had when
the people turned against Chun, my brother
that became the prelude of our
sorrow. The reason why it took this long was
that the security
company's agreement with me was that my
brother must personally sign the
Power
of Attorney that will transfer title to the
prospective beneficiary. It
was a long wait but it paid off. His excellency,
Chun Doo-Hwan does not
want to be personally involved for security
reason. Your quick response
will be highly appreciated. Thank you in
anticipation of your
cooperation.
Please kindly notify me for further details if you
are
interested or not in this proposal by contacting
me
through this email address:[e-mail].

Yours faithfully,
Jang Doo-hwan

He has disclose to me a personal savings which he has managed to put together to run the up coming election before it sudden stroke of 4th January 2006.

Following the significant stroke suffered by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in January 2006, a decision was reached by the Israeli Cabinet, under the advice of the Attorney General of Israel: if the Prime Minister becomes incapable of making decisions, power is transferred to the Deputy Prime Minister — at the time, Ehud Olmert — who then becomes Acting Prime Minister until the Prime Minister recoves. If the Prime Minister is declared permanetly incapacitated then the Acting Prime Minister remains in office for 100 days. Once that period expires the President of Israel oversees the process of assembling a new governing coalition If the Prime
Minister dies the Cabinet chooses a new Prime Minister.

In the case of Sharon's illness, however, he has been declared permanently incapciatated and elections has already occured.Thus, the need for the fund transfer.He has given me the order to look for a reliable personnel of your calibre to assist him in reprofiling a certain amount of funds which is undisclose at the moment.

As soon as I get your willingness and confidentiality to forge ahead in executing this transaction, I will let you into confidential information on how to execute the transaction. Meanwhile, Be aware that the percentage sharing of the fund will be divided in this manner, 30 % will go to me and you will get the same 30% . The wife and children goes with 30% while 10% is used for any expenses we may incurred in the process of transfering the funds to your account. Thus, I am thanking you in advance for your cooperation in finalising with this transaction swiftly.Your response should be directed to my secured email: [e-mail]

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Cardle Ian

Here's one for Beloved in Christ from Mrs G Praise!


DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs. G Praise
Beloved In Christ,
                              PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above name person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr Theophilus who worked with Sierra- Leonian Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2001. 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 and we lived happily. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is really against.When my late husband was alive he secured US$14 Million with a security company here in Cote D'Ivoire and declared the trunk box containing this money as box containing Family valuables.

He deposited the Box as FAMILY VALUABLES because he never wanted any one to know that the content of the box is mony for the security reasons.
Presently, this money is still with the security company in Europe. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.

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. I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence 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 because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you contact informations of the security company in Europe for you to develop a communication with them as the person whom I have appointed to come for the claims of this deposited trunk box that is still in the name of my late husband to enable them furnish you with details regarding their company procedures of claiming such a deposited trunk box under their custody.

I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this trunk box containing the fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or
christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours beloved sister in Christ,

Mrs G Praise

Ringleader of Dutch-based Internet scam is arrested in Nigeria

From Phys. Org

The ringleader of a Dutch-based Internet scam that raked in up to two million dollars (1.67 million euros) has been arrested in Nigeria, police in Amsterdam said.

The Nigerian, who headed a band of fraudsters operating out of Amsterdam, was arrested in Nigeria's economic capital of Lagos, police said.

SThe fraudsters sent e-mails all over the world promising the recipients quick financial gains from a make-believe inheritance or fictitious lottery wins in exchange for 'processing fees' of several thousand dollars.

Those who paid up never heard from the supposed organisations again nor saw a penny of their promised windfall.

Twelve Nigerians were arrested in the Netherlands in February over the scam. Some were held at the request of prosecutors in the United States where most of the scam's victims are located.

According to the Dutch ANP news agency, the group sent up to 140,000 e-mails per week.

Nigeria is a major hub for Internet scams with criminals bombarding computer owners with e-mails seeking to trick them into handing over bank details or making advance payments on non-existent money-making schemes.

Experts say that the so-called 419 fraudsters -- named after the relevant section in Nigeria's criminal code -- steal hundreds of millions of dollars every year from unsuspecting victims.

Does this qualify? This woman is Libyan. Could be a repeat, but I don't know...this poor, poor woman:

As you read this, I do not want
you to feel sorry for me,because I
believe everyone will die someday.

I am Mrs Claudia Ray from Libya. I
am married to Late Mr. Frank Ray of
blessed memory who is an oil
explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve
years before he died in the
year 2002. We were married for eighteen
years without a child. He died
after a brief illness. Since his death I
too have been battling with
esophageal cancer and have been in
the
hospital for a very long time.
It has defied all forms of medical
treatment, and right now I have
about few months to live, according to
the medical experts. When my
late Husband was alive he deposited a
substantial amount of money in
millions of dollars with a Deposit
Company oversea.

I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone
(not even myself) but my business and
wealth. 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
till date. Now that God is calling me, I
have willed and shared most of
my properties and assets to my
ungrateful in-laws who wants me dead,
including few close friends.

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

I once asked my in-laws 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 in millions of united states
dollars that I have with
a finance and trust Company. I would want you
to help me collect this
deposit on my behalf and distribute it to
charity organizations in your
country.

I would want you to keep 10% of
the funds to yourself and
share the rest to charity organizations in
your country. Reply this
email as soon as possible even if you are not
capable to handle this
transaction on my behalf.

Any delay in your
reply will give room in
sourcing for an organization or a devoted
Individual for this same
purpose. Until I hear from you. My dreams will
rest squarely on your
shoulders.

My regards and Love to you and your
family members.

God be with you,

Remain blessed.
MRS. CLAUDIA RAY.

I got a mail that at the first glance looks like a scam but I trust it is the true thing (and will make me rich). Why? Because it does not come from Nigeria (no one has that much money in Nigeria) but from South Africa.
What makes me so confident is the name of the writer: Wilson Mandela. I can't quite recollect where I have heard that name before but I am sure it was in a very honourable context. Wilson Mandela just does not sound like the name of a man who could cheat.

I presume this must have been a shipment that went astray, or maybe China's biggest guitar collectors are parting with some goodies. Either way, I've remortgaged the house and trained the kids to wriggle up chimneys with a brush, so I can invest EVERYTHING in this opportunity!

Dear Otway,

Compliments of the season, I hope that this letter will not constitute a
sort of embarrasement to you. Please bear with me let me introduce myself. I
am Barrister Isaac O.Peters, a private attorney to the deceased as mentioned
herein.Mr Edward E.Otway, a National of your country, who owned a metal
producing factory (Metalco Enterprise) in Nigeria and a personal friend died
and left behind his deposit in a Bank (OMEGA BANK NIG.PLC) valued at $7.3
Millon (Seven Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only).

My relationship with Mr.Edward started in 1999 when I was working with the
security company as a Legal Adviser, Marina branch. We met in my social
club's annual end of the year party and I introduced him to the said
security company where he deposit most of his treasures some few weeks
later,making me the Legal officer to the account which he operated until his
unfortunate demise.On the 31st of March 2001,Mr.Edward, his wife and their
two children were involved in a car
accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.

After the incident i contacted Mr.Edward sister (Mrs Martha Stevens)which
was his beneficiary/next of kin but unfortunately before she could claim his
estate she too died in September 11, 2001 terrorist attack at the world
trade center in the United State Of America. See
http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/lists/by-name/page95.html

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of Mr.Edward extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family or anyone related to him hence I
contacted you . 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 to
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7.3 Million
(Seven Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) can be
paid to you and then you and I can share the money.70% to me and 30% to
you.The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that My client was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as a
next of kin to a foreigner.

I am ready to re-negotiate the mode of sharing with you.Thereafter I will
visit your country for the disbursement/investing of my share according to
the percentages we agreed upon.If you find this proposal suitable for you do
get back to me with the following informations Your full Name and Contact
Address,Your private telephone Number Your Age Your Occupation and Position.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please for the
sake of confidentiality send your reply to my private email :
xxxxx

Hoping to receive a positive response from you.

An image that will stay with me for a long time: A young man at the post office standing at the window next to mine telling the clerk that he was mailing something to Nigeria.

I felt like hanging around to hear how it ended but I did hear the clerk ask a couple of questions and the young man showing him the address, like in "See? This address here."

I hope the clerk pursued it. It may, of course, have been completely legitimate.

Haven't gone back to read the whole thread, so maybe someone already posted this.

In Nigeria, there is a word in their language now for the gullible foreigners, and it is part of the lyrics of a
popular SONG about Nigerians being able to con foreigners who fall for these scams.

Recently on Dr. Phil (yes, I watched the whole program) he focussed on victims of Nigerian scams.
There were American women who were convinced they had a relationship with a man who loved them, met by email, who they would then move on to talking to by phone. They are part of the Nigerian scam industry. Boiler room offices with phone banks of men calling women who respond to the emails and pictures on dating web site who read scripts over the phone - send money to pay for plane tickets, hospital care when the guys have accidents rushing to the airport to fly to meet their American woman, debts that need to be paid before they can leave and meet their American woman... Phil showed photos that had been sent to these women and then tracked down the actual men who were white male models living somewhere else in the world whose photos had been used by these con artists. Sad.

I've gotten the scam targeting artists. Cons always look for a vulnerable hook, and artists are always looking for gallery shows or clients to buy their work. The Nigerian scam letter that targets artists describes how they want so much to buy your work that they have seen on your web site and for a certain amount of money to pay the shipping costs to get it to Nigeria......

Oh boy! After a long drought I finally got one. This is "Mary"'s sad tale:

Hello Dear,
I am delighted to write to you. My name is Miss Mary Sandra Allen, I am sorry if this mail will come to you as an embarrassment or a surprise, I just felt like empting myself to you, after reading your profile,I decided to confide in you, as am faced with total frustration and hardship.I am presently residing in Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire.I left my country with my father after the death of my mother during the war in our country and we came here because my father owned a business here,(cocoa business), during the going political crisis here which has turn out into a civil war since 2003,my father was attacked and killed here at the hit of the crisis as the rebels were killing prominent foreigners with the reason that they were financially supporting the government against them and the rebels are accusing the government of doing the killing.
Presently, I am staying in a REFUGEE camp assisted by the Red cross organisation, and after the death of my father, our house was set ablaze, I was unable to meet my needs pay my bills and accommodation and in my dilemma which was another reason for going to the camp, where I could at least feed and sleep as I did not know anyone here.
I take permission to go to the town where they have internet access to enable me correspond with you, I also indulge in sweeping there so that i can earn some money to at least feed.
Secondly, my late father concealed some amount of money in a trunk box and deposited it in a safe keeping house to the turn of $18.5 million dollars which I will want you to help me move out of this country because of the war here. But the safe keeping house does not know the true content of the trunk to be cash as my father declared upon deposit as containing family valuables. My father confided so much in me after the death of my mother.
All that I want is your sincere and genuine help in helping me safe guide this trunk which means that you will have to come here so that we can meet face to face first before proceeding with this claim or we can ask the safe keeping company to ship the trunk to you in your country, as we have to do the claiming of the trunk which the money is concealed in, claim it out of the safe keeping house first and the money moved out of this country as I am the named next of kin to this deposit. I cannot allow the money remain here, why, because of the war here which possess a great risk to it as my life and future solely lies on it. If you have heard from the news for the past few months now there has been intense fighting and bombing by the French troops which I will like to live here as soon as we have this money moved out of this country.
I will also like upon your arrival here to open an account in any of the international banks of your choice here where this money wil l be lodged into for transfer to your country, I know that this is our first mail, but I have decided to confide in you because i do not have any other choice than to let you know about the trunk. I want you to know that for years now, I
have lived in absolute frustration, tires and pains without any person around me, no parent, uncles or friend, but God had kept me until now, which I believe that I will smile once again.
Thirdly, I do not want to attach myself to you out of desperation so that I do not get used rather I intend you helping me to claim this money as I intend living for your country to start an entire new life and complete my education, as you will have to help in the investment of this money. But I really need your help at this trial and difficult time of mine.
I am totally frustrated that my whole mind for now lies on my survival which is securing this money. Please I am confiding completely in you and I really need your assistance at this point of my life as you alone knows of this venture.
I have enclosed my copies of my personal pictures and my late father's pictures for your view while I will expect to have yours in return.
I wait to hear from you.
Thank you.
Mary

Yeah, gee, I can hardly believe my good luck. Wow. My ship has come in. I am sure that after I assist Mary in moving the 18.5 million and herself safely to Canada she will reward me generously and I can then travel to California and offer Winona the kind of things she has been dreaming of.

Some of the Nigerian scammers are now operating out of Houston TX.

There is a big Nigerian community there.

I wouldn't particularly mind seeing them all put to hard labor on Devil's Island or some such place, paying back what they've scammed people for.
