I know that you might be surprise on this mail, but I am telling you the truth. I know that it is against my official duty to release confidential issue like this to an outsider.There is nothing I can do to help you beside this; I am taking this bold step because of my belief as a Christian.


What I want to tell you is about your fund with the Federal Government of Nigeria, there are a lot forces working against you right from the last CBN Governor Prof Charlse Soludo and the current Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi with other Top officials of all the Commercial Banks here in Nigeria, they have been frustrating people by demanding upfront payment from them constantly, If I tell you that they are using all these money you sent to them to work against you, you might not believe it. But it is reality.


There is a way I can assist you get your fund without you paying any charges to get your fund, it is risky but one has to take it, I have assisted one woman from Mexico with it, it worked out though her fund was US$2.5m-. What you have to do is to open another bank account any where, if you can open it in another place, it will be nice, but what you have to bear in mind is that you have to re-transfer the fund to another account immediately you confirmed it in your account, I know why I want it this way.


If you want me to go ahead, let me know as soon as you get this mail, if I make the transfer into your account this week, it might be next three months that they will find out and by then, you have re-transferred the fund into another account.


Get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that I will be in better position to know what to do.Get back to me on this email: drmrsveronicaa@aol.com

Subject: Your prize


Hi,

Mr.Dan William asked me to contact you regarding the Miyango lottery that you email apred as lucky winner and he said you have some suggestions and agreement you said you want to talk about,so tell me about it and how this can work out,so that if it is something we can do together and that is workable,then we handle it.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Peter.

===============================


RE: Your prize‏

Hi Peter! thanks for your note!!!

Yes, as I was saying to Dan, I think you have the strategy wrong here - if you are giving away lottery money to people who don't buy a ticket, then people who DID buy a ticket will get really pissed off, and stop buying tickets. When they do this, your funds will dry up, and then there will be no monies left!

My suggestion was that if you wanted me to look over your business plan and make suggestions for improvement, I'd be very happy to do so! My fees are quite modest - shall we say $5,000?

Thanks for your interest!!!

Hi Don!

So - explain to me how this works then - people who have not brought tickets get paid out money? That's not really good business is it? Why would anyone buy a ticket, if the money is just randomly given away? No, I think your business plan is all wrong - if you would like advise on how to actually make money, please let me know - I work on a flat fee basis, and I'm sure we could come to some sort of agreement!

RE: Can you do business?????‏
From: Taou Jhin (taou_jhin22@yahoo.cn)
Sent: Sat 5/29/10 12:11 PM


Hello,



Now what we need to do to achieve success in this business is just TRUST. I am Taou Jhin, a staff of Private Banking Services at the China Development Bank (CDB) China . This project is concerning our customer and, an investment placed under our banks management 4 years 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 contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In 2004, the subject matter; ref: bb/cdb/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of $8.370,000,00 eight million three hundred and seventy thousand United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed.



This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited. He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2009.In January last year, we got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit, and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the china development bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canner, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed.



The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to CDB, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to CDB.



This will result in the money entering the CDB accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as CDB is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.



I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. 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 what 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, send me your response on this email immediately to enable us commence this line of discussion.

I await your response.


Taou Jhin

====================================

Taou Jhin - what you describe is not only immoral and unethical, it's also dishonest and illegal! I will have have none of it! I am reporting you to your superior, and also to the International Police Authorities. There is absolutely no way I wish to be involved in a matter of this nature - frankly, I am shocked!

Assurance Needed From You ($14.7m)

AH! the old - "I have a lot of money, please give it away for me" scam


Assurance Needed From You‏
From: Annabella Estes (anbella17estes@gmail.com)
Sent: Thu 5/27/10 12:32 AM
To:


Dearest,

Greetings to you and your family. My name is
Mrs.Annabella Estes. I'm 65 year?s old woman and from
England . I was a Gold merchant and owned two businesses in London
and also a textile mill in West Africa. I was also married with two children.
My husband who also happens to be an English man and two children died
in a car accident six years ago.

Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all
I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since
the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I
have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in London , South
Africa , Cameroon , Brazil , Spain , Austria ,Germany and some Asian
countries. Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of
properties and livelihood in Haiti due to the earth quake over
there. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to
make this contribution on assisting people over there, I kept
$14,700,000.00 Fourteen Million seven hundred thousand United State
Dollars in a
long term deposit with a Finance company.

Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophagi cancer at one of the best teaching hospital in Accra Ghana.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that
I have only few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money
distributed to victims of the flood in Asia and other charity organization.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them.

Please, I beg you help me collect the deposit and distribute it
accordingly. Use
your judgment to distribute the money generated from the sales and keep 20% of
it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the
money for any
cost you in
cure during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If
you are willing to help, please reply as soon as possible.

May the good lord bless you and your family.

Regards,
Annabella Estes

===============================

Hi Annabella, I was very sorry to hear about the diagnosis you have had - but I wonder, why not fly to the USA and see if you can get some better treatment there? There are many great hospital that I'm sure would be only too pleased to help you. I say this in particular, as there is no such thing as esophagi cancer - it does not exist!! I'm sure you think that the people at the hospital there are good, but, if they are diagnosing something that doesn't exist, I wonder how reliable they can be?

Anyway, thanks for your message - I will be praying for your quick recovery.

Oh my! how I hate those puppy scammers!!!!! they look so cute and cuddly, staring up at you with those puppy-dog eyes (literally!!) but then they are really out to scam us. This is really crappy isn't it? I'm glad the FBI are involved in this, so that we can stamp out these puppies who are only giving the rest of the dog world a bad name.

Thank you

Hi Smith Dungal - is that Mr Dungal? I've never hears of "smith" as a first name before, very unusual for a Greek/Spanish national!

I appreciate your thought in this matter, but I wonder about the morality of what you are suggesting - it seems to me that you are asking me to lie - and for what? A pittance of a sum of money! Frankly, I am shocked that a Barrister would suggest such a thing!

Spain has a lot of poor people - many of those living in the heartland of the country live hand to mouth - just think of the good that could be done with this money if you donated it to charity!!!

My dear Smith Dungal - I do urge you with all my heart to reconsider this, and do the right thing!!!

Thank you for writing

$1.5 million compensation

I've not been to New Zealand, but I did at least take the time to look it up on a map and add a bit of local color! I do think it shows a lack of basic craft skills to talk about "this festive season" in May!



Compensation‏
From: Mr. Bon Adegome
Sent: Thu 5/20/10 2:46 AM
To:

Hello,

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund transferred to
a Swiss Account with the cooperation of a new partner from New Zealand who is
an international business man. Presently I'm in New Zealand for investment projects
with my own share of the total sum.

Meanwhile, I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in
transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

Now contact my secretary.
Her contact is: Name: Mrs. Recheal Etu
Email Address:

Ask her to send you the total $1.500.000.00 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand
US Dollars) that I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and
attempts to assist me in this matter.

Also do use part of the money for philanthropist purposes for use in helping
the less privileged in your area. Especially at this festive season. Put a
smile on somebody face and let the world be better for it.

I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. So feel free and get in
touch with my secretary Mrs. Recheal Etu and instruct her where to
Send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the
joy after all the suffering at that time. In the moment, I am very busy here
because of the investment projects which me and the new partner I am having at hand.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to my secretary on your
behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Mrs. Recheal Etu
and she will send the amount to you without any delay.

I beg you in the name of the most high to use at least 50% of the proceed to
put smile on the faces of the less privileged especially during this festive
season.

This is my utmost wish for this donation.

With best regards

Mr. Bon Adegome

Hi Bon - you're in New Zealand? What part? I used to hang out in Mona Square in Ashburton - do you know that at all? It's about 60 miles out of Christchurch on highway 1 - it's got a great little race course if you're ever in that area!!!

How are the investments going for you? I loved the easy pace of New Zealand life, but never really thought of it as a hub of investment opportunities - just shows how wrong one can be!!

Thanks for the offer of funds, but really, I have all I need - why not just give it all to charity? That way the smiles can be even bigger!

Anyway, keep in touch old friend!!!

A scam about scams!!

I did think that at least this scam was original - not only is there money on offer, but it's because of scams!!!! A nice symmetry I thought:)

Hi Rosemary!!! great to hear from you:)

So - what's this course you're going on for 3 months? What country is it in? I always like to travel myself, but Id not thought of combining this with studying something - how clever of you!! Did you go through an agent, or organize it all yourself? I must say I think you're being very enterprising!!

Yea these Scams are the pits, aren't they? I've never actually been involved in one myself, so I really don't think I should take you up on the offer of funds, but thanks for thinking of me - I really do appreciate it!!!

Incidentally, I'm not sure what "demurrage" means - could you let me know?

"$85,000,000 in Switzerland" first contact

Subject: Partnership Request
Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 00:46:32 +0100

Dear Intending Partner,

I sincerely hope that this letter will not come to you as a surprise or an embarrassment since we neither know each other before nor have had any previous correspondence. Let me start by introducing myself, I am Mr. Urs Morgenthaler, Chief Financial Officer and Managing Director of the operations of> Arab Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. I have a secured business proposal for you;

Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client, General Hassan Umara, who was with the Iraqi forces and also a business man, made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of $85,000,000.00 in my branch. Upon maturity, several notices was sent to him. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that General Hassan Umara and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also discovered that General Hassan Umara did not declare any next of kin in his official documentations including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one knew of his deposit in my bank. So, US$85,000,000.00 is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of Seven (7) years, the funds will revert to the ownership of the Switzerland Government if nobody comes forward to claim the funds.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Hassan Umara so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted a will & probate attorney that will prepare the necessary legal documents that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Hassan Umara, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.

There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all necessary legal documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account, we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. Should you be interested, please send me the following information below:

Full Names
Current Residential Address
Country of Origin

I prefer you reach me only on my PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS below and finally after that, I shall provide you with more details of this transaction. Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.

Email: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kind Regards,
Mr. Urs Morgenthaler.

Please you keep this confidential,Promise me that you wont change your mind as soon as you get the money, because this is the highest risk I am taken in my life. and will be sending in my next mail the bank documents and Agreement with my ID,which my late father used in depositing the money in the bank as soon as I hear from you.So with the documents you will contact the bank and inform them that you want them to transfer the money into your account.With due respect I would like to know little about yourself,like what you do for a leaving.I will notify the bank director about you as a credible person that will be helping me after which i will get back to you.
Please call me as soon as you get this email so that we can discuss, that will also give me more confidence in you, but I will be very glad if you can come down here in Ghana , to see things yourself, because seeing is believing and also afford us the opportunity to see each other physically.I am waiting for your urgent response.please call me on

Subject: DEAR ,PLEASE HELP ME

Dearest One

I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we have not had previous correspondence, please bear with me. I will really like to have a good relationship with you, and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you. I am Miss Mary 18 years old girl from Ghana, the only daughter of Late Mr Robert . I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I am receiving from my Uncles. They planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Parents. Meanwhile I wanted to escape to anywhere i can have a good life but he hides away my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily he did not discover where I kept my fathers File which contains important documents.
So I decided to run to an orphanage camp where I am presently hiding under Rescue Guest Home Ghana where my late father deposited some amount of money in a bank. I wish to contact you personally for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in anywhere in the world.
My late father deposited the sum of US$ 5.5 million (Five million Five Hundred united state dollars) in one of the leading bank with my name as the next of kin.
However, I shall forward to you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer of the money to your account, and investment of the fund. As you will help me in an investment, and I will like to complete my studies, as I was formerly a medical student, when the crisis started.
If you are willing to help me in this kindly get back to me as soon as possible.
Please do keep this only to your self please I plead you not to disclose it till I come over to your country after the transfer.I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation of your effort after a successful transfer.please call me on +

Yours Sincerely
Mary Allen.
