then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my

had an account valued at US$6,500,000.00 (Six Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars).

account confiscated as Unclaimed Dividends. Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your
consent to present you to the bank as next-of-kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at
US$6.5M can be transferred to you as inheritance and thereafter, you and
me can share the money; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% will be donated
to the Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund.

I have important legal documents that will be used to substantiate our
inheritance claims. All I require is your consent and honest co-operation
to enable us see the deal through. Furthermore, I guarantee that the
transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.

I am known as Ms. Nancy Raymond. Am 23 years from Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire. Please Permit me to inform you about my reason for contacting you. I am the only child of my late parents. Presently, I am seeking for a reliable person to stand as my guardian in receiving and investing my inheritance deposit of Nine Million dollas from a private security company where my late father deposited the funds before he died.

I know this may sound strange receiving this email from me who is a total stranger, but condition forced me to do so. please do not be offended by this for goodness sake. I really need your unreserved assistance to achieve this because the security company need someone to stand on my behalf because my father had a documented agreement with the them, that in the event of an uncertainty(death) I should not be allowed to have a direct access to the fund,in the same agreement, it stated that in the event that I want to have access to the funds, I must have a guardian/partner who must be of a foreign origin. This is why I have decided to have you assist me with the purpose of securing this fund and to have me come over to your country to continue with my studies which is of importance to me at this time while the funds are being properly and legitimately invested that is what I want you to do for me.
Please reply and declare your position to assist me.

So therefore both foreigners that are waiting for their Payment and the new selected lucky beneficiary has been allocated with and approved to receive Ј2.8 Million Pounds (Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling) each.

Based on this fact the British/African Government undergo thorough investigation to ascertain the cause and find out that there are some officials that co-operate with outsiders to extort money from foreigners without releasing their funds to them.

So the United Nations then held a meeting and made a resolution that all foreigners contractors and those that are waiting their Bank draft payment and ATM Payment to be paid by Cash through Online Banking system, which is the fastest and reliable way of receiving payment, in other to beat those fraudsters in Africa that export money from Foreigners without releasing their Fund to them.

Be informed that all the Bank Drafts, ATM, and other Funds that was on hold by Customs, Drug Law Enforcement Agency, I.M.F and others asking for not ending charges from Africa, Europe, America has been re-called back and converted to Cash payment system and channeled to Northern Bank Ltd UK, which will now be paid out through Northern Bank Ltd UK guarantee trust and secure online banking system.

So if your are among the foreigners that are waiting for their Payment, you are to immediately stop any further communication regards to your fund with any office in Africa, or any were else.

If you are receiving this letter of notification for the first time and you are not waiting for any payment yet, it means you are among the 11 new beneficiary/winners recently selected through our computer ballot and e-mail scratchier system from over 50,000,000 e-mails worldwide web,initiated for the circulation of funds to help guide against the negative effect of the present Global Financial Crisis on our society.

AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC
Attn: Beneficiary
We have actually been authorized by the united nation to handle the payments of your long overdue inheritance/contracts.
This is as a result of the fact that we have given them loans in the past to offset these debts but the corrupt officials of their government simply embezzled the funds and then turned around and used the avenue to extort money from contractors.
These corrupt officials also delay contractor payments and eventually divert the entire money, it is to avoid these that security for this fund was organized in the form of your personal identification number (pin) code and your transfer access code (T.A.C) which we will issue you along with the original copy of your payment slip, this is a security arrangement to be sure that only you shall have direct control/access over this fund.
All you have to do is take the documents with the codes to your bank to enable them access your funds and credit your account immediately based on the transfer instructions on the documents. We cannot issue these documents to you now because we have a problem here, ever since your name was published in our official gazette as one of the contractors to be paid via our programmed, we have had at least four (4) people who have come here with letters purportedly written by you for a change in the receiving banking particulars, 2 days ago, MR. BALIM AUDU presented the understated account details for the transfer of this fund, UNION BANK of SWITZERLAND (UBS AG) 2407 SAASTVEN BMNCH ZURICH Switzerland a/c NO.870-2598-440 we therefore request you send to us your correct banking details with a copy of the picture page of your international passport or drivers license or any other valid form of identification to my email address:(drfrankwyatt@aim.com)
Once we receive these we shall issue final instructions to our paying bank to reach you and transfer your funds. please reconfirm your contract and banking particulars and also send your direct telephone and fax numbers immediately.
We await your urgent attention to this mail.

Subject: VERY URGENT & IMPORTANT.

Dear Sir/Ma,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I must solicit your co-operation and assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit.

I am David Magand a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to the late Mr. Mark Benson hereinafter referred to as my client who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country Republic of Benin. He died in a plane crash with his immediate family off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Republic of Benin on the 25th of December 2003.

Before his death, he deposited the sum of US$12.5 Million (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) in his fixed deposit account with a bank, here in Abomey, Republic of Benin. For over five years now I have tried to locate any relatives of my late client without success. I have made contact with his embassy and they have also been unsuccessful. I have received a notification from his bank to present his Next of kin within the next 21 days or his account will be declared dormant and unclaimed based on their policy. The fund will be confiscated by the bank since I am unable to locate his extended relatives. I do not want the bank to do this. We can both co-operate and claim this fund for our mutual benefit. I therefore seek your consent to present you to the bank of my late client as his next of kin so that his deposit will be paid to you as an inheritance. I will provide all legal documents to back this claim.

I am contacting you to assist in the claim/transfer of this money to you. I will prepare and provide every necessary document as proof to enable the bank transfer this fund to you. I will furnish you with adequate information about my late client that will back us up in this claim. I will provide all legal services to warrant the release of this money to you within 10 working days after I must have filed in an application of claim on your favour.

I would be delighted to work with you on this matter and will appreciate if you will acknowledge your interest by forwarding your FULL NAME, TELEPHONE, and FAX NUMBERS AND CONTACT ADDRESS to me.

The provision of the above requirements will enable me apply to his bank for commencement of the claim. Upon successful transfer of this fund to you, you and I will then share the funds. 40% for you and 60% for me.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours sincerely,
David Magand.
