I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormantin his account with this bank with out any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within my self and partner to enable the whole plansand idea be pofitable and successful during the timeof execution.The said amount was USD$6.5m (SIX MILLIONFIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foriegn business relations herein Lome-Togo.

It is him who recommended your person tome to be viable and capable to champion a business ofsuch magnitude without any problem. Mean while all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn accounthas been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.


In fact I could have done this deal alone but becauseof my position in this country as a civil servant, weare not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second part your fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.

On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as your share, 10% will be set aside to take careof expenses that may arise during the time of transfer including telephone bills, while 60% will be for meand my partners. Please you are adviced to keep this business secret as we are still in service and intendto retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account, then we shall come down to your country for sharing of the fund according to percentages indicated above as well as discussing with you for the investment of the bulk of our sharese ither in your country or which ever country you peceive investment friendly and profitability.

:confused: :lost: :lost: :confused: :confused: :duh:

I have recieved many e-mail like these.

these are all scams but I still find them very entertaining and creative....as soon as u reply he/she will ask u for ur credit card number or some other personal information so that they could use your credit card or access your bank account.

This is known as a "219" fraud, after the section of the Nigerian crimina code introduced to combat it.

As Qasi said, there are a lot of these, many targetting gullible and greedy people in the Gulf. What happens is they establisha relationship with you, get set up with lawyers, bank accounts etc etc...and everything seems real....then just as they are about to transfer the millions of dollars or whatever through your account, they come up with a problem: They need to settle some lega fees or something urgently at the last minute, and need a few thousand dollars advance from you. You send it. They disappear.

If you get one of these, pass it to your local Interpol office.

I think its money laundering

they will ask to transfer you the amount and then you transfer it to another person.

its illegal and you could get into trouble if you did that.

Whenever you receive such e-mail simply click 'DELETE' button. Thats where it belongs.

As several have said it's a total scam/fraud. The reason it's still around is that it plays on one a mans greatest weekness.....greed. I get a couple a day and have been for over a year. Several different versions also.

Another one is "You have won the loto!", but in the end they want you to send them money before collecting the loto prize money :rolleyes: I email them back and told them to take it out of my winnings and send me my money. Still waiting on the check :fire:

yup its all ********
i have got an e.mail like this
and more than that received an air mail from S.Africa with the same thing!

That is the impression they hope their prey will get in order to send them his own bank account or credit card details so they transfer the money to your countr but not until you have signed, usually a blank, letter which they will sent you to sign authorising transferring to, as it seems, your account which they on the strength of the very letter signed by you authorising them to empty any single baizas remaining on your account. It is nothing to do with proper money washy wash. Very tricky guys there in Nigeria I call them Pakistanis (easter or western ones doesn't matter) of African continent.
