NOTICE: 2008 Joint -Venture Partnership Initiative.

I am Dr. Thomas Williams, the managing auditor, ABSA Bank Ltd, Johannesburg Branch, South Africa. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. On May 20, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Geological consultant/contractor with the ANGLOPLATINUM PTY LTD, Mr. Dara Baraz. Made a numbered time foreign account (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar months valued at US$120, 000, 000.00 (One Hundred And Twenty Million United States Dollars only) in this bank.

Upon maturity in 2002, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After 3 months, we sent a reminder, and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Mr. Dara Baraz died as a result of torture he sustained in the hand of Saddam Hussein's Sons, during one of his trips to his country Iraq. He was accused of being A SHIITE Muslim and also an ally with the WESTERN [Britain and U.S.A.].

Upon further investigation, we found out that he died INTESTATE, without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin/Business associates was fruitless. This sum of US$120, 000, 000.00 has been floating as unclaimed fund since 2002 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives or associates have proved abortive. According to the existing banking law here in South Africa, at the expiration of this year or early next, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies for the claim in this year or early next year, the fund could also be termed as'' unclaimed government liquid asset''.

Consequently upon this, MY PROPOSAL is that I want to seek your CONSENT as a foreigner to stand in as the NEXT -OF-KIN or an ASSOCIATE to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account. All documents and Legal papers to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked- out. I have secured from the corporate affairs commission and the judiciary an order of mandate to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so, I am assuring you that the business is RISK-FREE. You will benefit from this gesture while the rest will be for my associates and me.

AND YOU SHOULD ALSO ASSIST ME IN INVESTING THIS FUND IN ANY LUCRATIVE VENTURES IN YOUR DESIGNATED COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, WHEREBY YOU WILL BE MY INVESTMENT PARTNER/MANAGER OR WE CAN FLOAT A JOINT-VENTURE ENTERPRISE.

Dear, you will get [$24 million] 20% of this money when the deal eventually sails through.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS:

1. JUST GIVE ME YOUR DETAILED INFORMATIONS AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.
2. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN ARAB; YOU CAN BE OF ANY NATIONALITY/COUNTRY.
3. YOU CAN BE A MALE OR FEMALE.

I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of Kin OR Business associate on your behalf. All I require is your HONEST AND SINCERE cooperation to enable us carries this deal through.

OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance Department of BANK OF Africa (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$ 27.5 Million dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign Customer (MR. PAUL LOUIS from Paris, France) who died along with His entire family in July 2003 in a plane crash.
http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/oxfordshire/4537663.stm
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 some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the Deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we 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 eight to nine years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this transfer is unquestionable by the fact that the customer was a Foreigner and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the Provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses Incurred During the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I Will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you 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 where in 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 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. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

Could you please call me immediately on my private phone number.00226 78 53 35 91.

Hello,

I am Mr. James Patterson an external auditor here in England .In the course of our yearly routine audit of investment Portfolio, I discovered that a personal account has been dormant for over Nine years with a huge balance.

The account belongs to a single beneficiary who shared the same last name with you.Further investigations of the said account reveal that the late investor last operated the account in 2000, about the time of his death.

He died without a will and also with no next of kin, so there was no beneficiary/nobody coming forward all these years to lay claim to the investment account.The personal investment account in this instance has been dormant for about 9 Years, thus making it a dormant account.

I wish to inform you that using ourInside leverage, we (I am working on this with an attorney at this time), Together with yourself can secure the funds in this account for us instead of allowing it sent to the Treasury of the Government of the United Kingdom.

All we need is your approval and the lawyer will file for an application for proceeds on your behalf. All necessary legal documents required will be provided. You shall be adequately compensated for your part in this transaction .

I shall however leave out the other details of this transaction tillI receive an affirmation of your desire to participate.

I can assure you that we are completely in charge of the transaction and as such there is no risk whatsoever if you decide to work with us.It is however important to say that secrecy is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.

If you wish to proceed with me you must send me the following:

Your full name,

I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Day,

I am Mr. Andrew Gilbert the Director in charge of Auditing section of Deutsche Bank Labuan, Malaysia.

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise.I have decided to contact you on a project that will be verybeneficiary to both of us. During our auditing in this Bank, I cameacross some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner Mr. SheuYuan-dong who died with his wife and their only daughter on February16, 2001 in a plane crash.

The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without anyclaim of the funds in our custody from his relation before my discoveryto this development. He was the Governor of Taiwan Central (Reserve) Bank. The said amount was five Million Seven Hundred Thousand unitedstate dollars (US$5, 700, 000.00). I want you to know that I never masterminded the death of the deceased fellow. Their death occur naturally.Please View this website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6997381.stm

All the arrangement to put claim over this fund as the BonifaceNext of Kin to the deceased, has been put in place and directives willbe relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingnessto assist me and also benefit your self to this great businessopportunity. In this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are notallowed to operate a foreign account.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party orfellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and alsopresent a foreign account where he will need the money to bere-transferred into on his request. Our Banking law stipulates that ifsuch money remained unclaimed after (10 years), the money will betransferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed funds. The request offoreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the factthat the customer was a foreigner.

Upon your acceptance to carry on this task more information will bemade known to you, and the said fund will be share in the ratio of60/40 % there after I will visit your country for disbursementaccording to the percentages indicated. Please you have been advised tokeep "top-secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire fromservice after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to yourcountry or any place we shall agreed on for subsequent sharing of thefund according to percentages previously indicated and furtherinvestment will be discussed if there is any reason for that.

Upon your acceptance to this proposal, kindly get back to me via this e-mail: andrew.gilbert21@sify.com

I look forward to receive your urgent reply.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Andrew Gilbert.

Subject: Respond Immediately

Hello,

Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence.

Please allow me to introduce myself.I am Sgt John Moore, a US Marine Sgt.serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you.

I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of 25million USD (Twenty Five Million USD) to the States or any safe country, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here.This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein's old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. 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.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention.I will give you 25% of the total sum.

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.

From: "Alfred Whitechapel" <inf50200@live.co.uk>
Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 3:44 AM
Subject: Serious Consideration

Good day,

I am Alfred Whitechapel Operating Officer, Coutts & Co, Private Banking. London, United Kingdom. Greetings, I am contacting you regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar last name and an investment of (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling) placed under our banks management 2years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I am contacting you independently and no one is informed of this communication. In mid 2007, my client asked that the portfolio he has with us be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments here in the United Kingdom.

He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I informed him that Coutts & Co would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to the security firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security firm.

The Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with his instructions, the money was deposited with the security firm. However Security firm got in touch with us last year that this money has not been claimed. On further enquiries we found out that my client died of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France, which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin. What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file and also because you bear the same last name, you will be made the next of kin to these funds. On verification, which will be the details I make available to my bank, my bank will instruct the security company to release the funds to you.

You do not have to have known him. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half 50/50. In the banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state. Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and as a British National we see so much cash and funds being reverted to the government. I would want us to keep communication for now strictly by email. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to t the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back to me immediately.

I await your response.
Alfred Whitechapel.

Your Attn,

Compliments of the season and good day.I am Michalis Pantazis, the treasury and planning department manager at the Universal Bankltd here in Nicosia, Cyprus, i am writing this letter to solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my bank.

Lying in an inactive account is the sum of Four Million Euros (4, 000, 000euros) belonging to a foreign customer (Caripides William) who was a gas consultant here in Cyprus, he happened to be deceased during a business trip with his wife and only son (Caripides Gabriella and Peter) on board the Swissair Flight 111, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd 1998. Info of this crash was on the news which we have tried to notify his relatives but to no avail, see link below for more detailed information:

www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html

Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of kin to come and claim these fund which cannot be released unless someone applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our banking guidelines, unfortunately he has no family member in Cyprus or Over-sea who are aware of the existence of the money, at this juncture, i have decided to do business with you by soliciting your assistance in applying as the next of kin to the bank then the money will be released to you, as i do not want the money to go into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill, because the banking laws and guidelines stipulates that if such money (s) remains unclaimed for a period of eleven years (11yrs), the money will be moved into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill. My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Cypriot cannot stand as next of kin.

50% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner and your assistance to actualise this deal, thereafter i will visit your country with your help once the money hits your account for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as agreed, you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased, then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction.

Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you, the text of application you are to send to the bank, and further clearify you in other issues as to effect this business.
Awaiting to hear from you urgently.

PERMISSION TO REMIT US $10 MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT.

It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction involving the transfer of US $10, 000, 000.00 (ten million US dollars) only into a foreign account for safekeeping pending my arrival with my colleagues for the sharing with you as the account owner into which the money is remitted. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos and this money originated from over-invoiced contract executed for the corporation some years back. This contract has long been completed by a foreign firm and the contractor duly paid. I now seek if you would permit the surplus to be remitted into your account.

As a matter of fact, we are top government officials and we cannot come out openly to claim this amount. This is why we are looking for a competent and honest company or individual abroad whose documents would be tendered by us here in Nigeria as one of the contractors that executed the project. However, I would wish to receive your personal assurance that you would not sit on the money when it goes into your account. More importantly, you keep confidential this transaction, in order not to tarnish the confidence repose in the officials involved in this transaction.

To effect this transfer, I therefore request the following: YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, THE NAME OF YOUR BANK WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO AND ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION. So far, after due consultations, you were strongly and reliably recommended to us although we have not met or entered into any kind of contract with you before as to know the extent of your honesty, but based on the recommendation, I personally want to believe that you are honest enough and would not sit on the money if finally got into your account. It is on this note that I consider it proper to write you asking for your permission and support to transfer this amount into your account.

You should not fear any risk because I have concluded arrangement to safe guard you in the transaction. This business is 100% risk free. Hence it requires high level of confidence and secrecy. Meanwhile this is the breakdown of the sharing modalities: (A) . 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL PROTOCOLS. (B) . 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT. (C) . 60% OF IT WILL BE FOR US THE ORIGINATORS. Be informed that on completion of this business I will use part of my money to invest in your country under your care. Please note that the transfer operation will take seven to ten working days to be completed. Please contact me by the above mobile phone, e-mail or fax number. PHONE 234-8058851646, FAX 234 1 7597874.

Date: Aug 19

FROM: MRS SHANNON GORDON

I am the above named person from Cyprus. I am married to MR BRUCE GORDON who Worked with America Embassy for seven years before he died .We were married for years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only two weeks. 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 24Million Dollars (twenty four Million United State Dollars) on the safe deposit box with the bank. Europe.

Presently, this money is still deposited on the safe deposit box with the bank vault house .Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to cancer Problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches, 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 reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.

Subject: Contact Mr. Ashley Mullins {Fedex Shipment Officer }

Greetings,

I have been trying to reach you for sometime now, I am glad to inform you that I have forwarded and Booked your ATM MASTER CARD of $250, 000, 00 USD United state dollars with Fedex Delivery services here in Nigeria West Africa, and i packaged the ATM MASTER CARD inside a magazine where nobody will notice the content. Note that the Insurance and delivery charges have been paid for, but the only fee remaining is the security safe keeping fee of $198, 00 US Dollars only, which you will be required to pay before delivery.

However, this was not paid for because of demurrage. Well, I did forward them your delivery address, but a re-confirmation is important when contacting them if you want to change your address. I advice you quote the parcel and shipment code to them for onward delivery to your re-confirmed address.The ATM MASTER CARD has pin number 8876. Please make sure you contact the shipment officer through his correct email below.

Contact the shipment office with the below informations and re-confirm your correct address details:

Full name......................
Home address............
Country....................
Telephone...............

Attention: Mr. Ashley Mullins Shipment Officer Of Fedex delivery services Nigeria.
E-mail: dispatch-dept@administrativos.com
Tel: +234-705-958-8977

Parcel Number: EG2272-NG

I do hope you'll take care of this transaction as soon as possible. Unfortunately you will not be able to reach me as I've been called out of the country on business for 4 months.. Once again, the Fedex delivery services do not know the content of the parcel, I registered it as an African magazine they don't know it contains ATM MASTER CARD inside, this is to avoid them delaying the delivery and besides I don't want you to lose your inherittance funds.

Remain blessed and enjoy your funds.
