DEAR IN CHRIST,
CALVARY GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
I AM MR.JOHN OSA, A MEMBER OF DOVE MINISTRY INC.
DURING A PRAYER AND FASTING SESSION IN MY MINISTRY I
DEMANDED FROM OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO GIVE ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REDEEM MY LIFE AND PURIFY WHAT REMAINS OF MY WEALTH. GOD
DELIVELY REVEALED TO ME TO INVEST
IN HIS KINGDOM THROUGH YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY /CHARITY ORGANISATION.
YOU SHOULD IMMIDIATLY CONTACT ME WITH MY E-MAIL ADDRESS.
THE WAY JESUS MINISTERED TO ME, THE FUNDS WILL BE EXPANDED.
REMAIN BLESSED.
DEACON JOHN OSA,

DEAR DEACON JOHN OSA
THANK YOU FOR YOUR E-MAIL- Oops just
realised that I had the Caps Lock on - just like you and your
band of thieving
gits who haven't figured out how to master the basic simplicities of a keyboard.
Go peddle your sorry arse elsewhere.
Better still try WORKING for a living instead of trying to scam
people through
the 419 routine. WORKING may be a concept that you are unfamiliar with.
Basically it
goes like this - you get a job, do it properly, and at the end of a
week or month your employer gives you
money for doing that job. Believe me
billions of people have tried this over the past 2 or 3 thousand years
and,
guess what, it seems to make them reasonably happy with themselves.
The chances of you being a Deacon in
Dove Ministry Inc are about as remote as me actually walking away
with any money
from you after being sold the idea of receiving funds from you - if I were that
gullible in the
first place.
I hope that you never succeed in
scamming anyone with your quasi religious sorry tale. Now FUCK OFF

Mobutu Sese-Seko

Dear Sir,
You may be surprise to receive this email since you do not know me.
I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic Of Zaire, President
Mobutu Sese Seko,
( now The Republic of Congo, under the leadership of the son
of Mr. Laurent Kabila). I presume you are
aware there is a financial
dispute between my family ( THEMOBUTUS ) and the present civilian Government.
This is based on what they believe as bad and corrupt governance on my late
father's part. May his soul rest in perfect peace. As you might have heard how a
lot of my father's bank account in Switzerland and North
America have been
frozen. Following the above named reasons, I am soliciting for your humble and
confidential assistance to take custody of THIRTY Million United States Dollars
( US$30,000,000.00 ), also
to front for me in the areas of business you desire
profitable.
These funds have secretly been deposited into a confidential Security Company,
where it can easily be
withdrawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary. The funds
will be released to you by the Security Company,
based on my recommendations, on
that note, you will be presented as my partner who will be fronting for me
and
my family in any subsequent ventures. Myself and my mother have decided to give
20% to you if you are
able to help us claim this consignment. We have also
decided to give you any money spent on phone calls or traveling expenses in the
course of this transaction at the end of the transaction.
Please, I need your entire support and co-operation for the success of this
transaction, your utmost
confidentiality and secrecy is highly required, due to
my family's present predicament.
I sincerely will appreciate your willingness to assist us as soon as possible. I
am presently in the refugee camp
here in the Netherlands under the united
nations refugee camp in Netherlands.All correspondence must be by
the email
address basher_mobutu@latinmail.com
I will give you my Telephone number where you can
contact me when I hear from
you.for more information on how we can proceed in this transaction. Please
indicate your interest by sending your telephone and fax number. I sincerely
will appreciate your
acknowledgement as soon as possible.
Warmest regards,
Basher Mobutu Sese-Seko

FROM THE DESK OF DR. FRANK RUMHI
I am Dr.Frank Rumhi a member of the Presidential Payment Verification Committee
(PPVC) of the Federal Government Of Nigeria, West Africa and also a Director of
Project Implementation with the Federal Ministry of Finance(FMF). I am presently
in London to carry out routine verification of contractual claims on behalf of
the
Federal Ministry of Finance(FMF)
I apologized for using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of
this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on
this medium.
In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and honest
person to handle this transaction
with sincerity, trust and confidentiality.
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the process of
actualising our dreams described hereunder. For the benefit of all parties and
hope you will keep it in confidence because of the nature of this transaction
within the Ministry of Finance(FMF), where I work as Director of Project
Implementation.
With the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession
overdue payment bills which we are presently verifying, to the tune of Twenty
Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(US$26,500,000.) which
we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive
such funds.
More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the Civil Service Code of
Conduct does not allow us
to operate offshore account hence your importance in
the whole transaction.
This amount $26.5m represents the balance of the total contract value executed
on behalf of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Resources (NNPC) by a foreign
contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced
deliberately in the
course of our verification exercise. Though the actual contract cost have been
paid to the
original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said
amount which we have in principle gotten
approval to remit by Key Tested
Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide
by
filing in an application through the Ministry of Finance for the transfer of
Rights and Privileges to the
contractual sum to you/your account.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be
willing to assist us in the transaction,
your share of the sum would be
30% of the $26.5million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous
expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it
with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality.
Your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of
this transaction.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you would not disappoint me.
Endeavor to contact me immediately by e-mail or by fax to +873 762
941 349 should you be interested or not in this transaction. If
not, it would
enable me time to scout for another credible foreign partner of note to help
carry on this
transaction, as my time here in London has to sufficiently backed
with reasons.
I assure you that my partners and I are in a position to make the payment of
this claim possible provided you
can give us a very strong assurance and
guarantee that our share would be secured and please always
remember to treat
this matter with the utmost confidentiality, as any form of exposure would
compromise our positions in this government, being active Government Civil
Servants.
Once again, remember time is of great essence in this transaction.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Frank Rumhi
18 April 2003
Right.
Let me see if I've got this right.
You are looking for "a respected and honest person to handle this
transaction with sincerity, trust and
confidentiality."
How strange, because by your own admission you are a thief - "we the
officials over-invoiced deliberately
in the course of our verification
exercise."
The simple fact of the matter is that you are probably not guilty of
over-invoicing anything because this is a
typical 419 scam.
You are simply hoping for some, equally unscrupulous and hopefully not too
bright, individual to be taken in
by large $$$$ sums being mentioned.
Sorry that I can't oblige.
Do not "wait in anticipation of my fullest co-operation."

B-So basically your story is that you are a thief and have skimmed money from
the Ministry you work for
and you're looking for a trustworthy partner! Somehow
this doesn't stack up.
C-Anyway, instead of us getting into a long correspondence, why don't you just
airfreight my share of the

D- Alternatively try and find somebody who was born yesterday to try and peddle
your pathetic story to.

FROM: MRS LYNDA
LEONBA
LIBREVILLE GABON
CENTRAL AFRIQUE
Dear Friend,
With a sincere heart, I write you this proposal in utmost confidentiality, trust
and wish to draw your
attention to my need for assistance.
I am a wife of late DR Nzamba Leonba, who died after three days Major-Operation
at General hospital
Nkembo Libreville Gabon.
He was a Computer scientist with the Banque des Etats de l'Afrique centrale
Gabon branch.
I got to know about you over the internet as I went through internet pages
looking for somebody like you
who can be my friend brother or sister to assist
me in this arrangement. Sequent to my zeal towards
the security of my life and
my husband fund in Foreign Security Firm in Gabon.
I,therefore write to give you break down of my life.
My dear, I have two happy days. Happy days are what we worked for. But happy
days are not easily
worked for. (tears) my late husband left me without a child.
Besides, I was made to understood that, if a man died without an issue all his
wealth will be shared by
the entire relatives.
From the time immemorial, the tendency of human beings is live to live together,
very few normal
human beings live in isolation from their kind.
Therefore consciousness of kind leads to Community living withit's own ethos and
taboos.
Precisely, my husband had a secret Account Worth of $8.9 Million(EIGHT MILLION
NINE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS) with the Foreign Security Firm, which I now
demanded your ability/assistance
to put up claims of receiving the fund on your
side for safety. Since the money has to be claimed by a non connaissance.
Dear, I'm down with imperialism and tribal division, no sporadical act nor pious
revolution can resolve
my present problems and condition. Nothing will be of
avail except one from overseas assisted me and
claim this fund through the help
of my husband Arttorney in Gabon.
For now I am lame and I must depend on crutches to support and sustain myself.
But tomorrow may be
well on the way. Flying low or high in life depends in God.
My humble duty now is to pray that my wound shall be healed if ever you will
never fail me in the longer
days and longer nights.
Please respond only through the above address as written in bracket (lynda_leo@dirnow.com
or lynda212@zwallet.com) I await your kind response.
Yours sincerely,
MRS LYNDA LEONBA
NB PLEASE IN RETURN MAIL,SEND YOUR PHONE NUMBER FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.

April 2003
I found your e-mail curiously
rambling, tedious in the extreme and not up to the usual standard of 419 scams.
Instead of us exchanging e-mails for
the next couple of weeks, and you forging phoney bank and security
company
certificates before finding a reason to ask me for $xxx to arrange clearance why
don't you just send
me $2000 for the fun of it and with no strings attached.
If you agree to that I may get back
to you - but don't count on it.

NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED. I HAVE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF TWENTY EIGHT MLLION
UNITED STATE DOLLARS (US$28,000,000.00.)
WITH A SECURITY COMPANY , FOR SAFEKEEPING.
THE FUNDS ARE SECURITY CODED TO
PREVENT THEM FROM KNOWING THE CONTENT.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU WILL ASSIST US BY
RECEIVING
THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF. ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MESSAGE, SO THAT I CAN
INTRODUCE YOU TO
MY SON (KONGOLO) WHO HAS THE LAYOUT MODALITIES FOR THE CLAIM OF
THE SAID FUNDS. I
WANT YOU TO ASSIST IN INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT
WANT MY IDENTITY REVEALED. I
WILL ALSO WANT TO BUY PROPERTIES AND STOCK IN
MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES AND TO
ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND NON-SPECULATIVE
INVESTMENTS. MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASISE
THE HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY,
WHICH THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE, WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU.
IN CONCLUSION, IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST US , MY SON SHALL PUT YOU IN THE PICTURE OF
THE BUSINESS, TELL YOU WHERE THE FUNDS ARE CURRENTLY BEING MAINTAINED AND ALSO
DISCUSS OTHER MODALITIES INCLUDING REMUNERATION FOR YOUR SERVICES.
FOR THIS REASON KINDLY FURNISH ME WITH YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, THAT IS YOUR
PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER FOR CONFIDENTIAL PURPOSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE
RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL BY SENDING ME AN EMAIL VIA MY CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL
ADDRESS AS
STATED ABOVE.
BEST REGARDS,
MRS M. SESE SEKO
21 May 2003
How curious.
Last time you wrote your sons were called Timothy and Basher and you had
$15million.
I see that it's now grown to $28million - not bad in a month.
Was the spectacular financial growth due to some excellent investments in stocks
and shares or as a result
of your 419 scams?
Either way it's really impressive.
Found an old photo of you (attached) -it probably brings back memories of the
good old days.
Bye for now.

FROM DESK OF ALIU ABBA ,DIRECTOR. STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC LAGOS NIGERIA
Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of
its nature as being utterly
CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried,
but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end
of the day. We have decided to contact you
due to the urgency of this
transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your discreteness
and ability
in transactions of this nature.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am ALIU ABBA, a
director with the
STANDARD TRUST Bank Nigeria Plc. Lagos. I came to know of you
in my private search for a
reliable and reputable person to handle this
confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of
a huge sum of money to a foreign
account requiring maximum confidence.
THE PROPOSITION:
A foreigner, Late Engineer Johnson Creek, an Oil Merchant/Contractor with the
Federal
Government of Nigeria,
until his death Five years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us
here at
Standard Trust Bank Plc. Lagos, and had a closing balance of US$8.5M ( Eight
Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now
unquestionably expects it to
be claimed by any available foreign next-of-kin of
the Late beneficiary or alternatively be donated
to a discredited trust fund for
arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervent valuable
efforts are being made by the Standard Trust Bank to get in touch with any of
the Creek family or
relatives but proved to avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of
Late Engr. Johnson
Creeks next-of-kin (he had no known wife and children) that
the management under the influence
of our chairman and member of the board of
directors, that an arrangement be made for the funds
to be declared UNCLAIMABLE
and subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and
Ammunition to further
enhance the course of war in Africa
and the world in general.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your
permission to have
you stand as a next-of-kin to Late Engr. Johnson Creek so that the funds
US$8.5M
would be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary s
next-of-kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be
carefully worked out and more so we
are assuring you of a 100% risk free
involvement.
Your share stays while the rest would be for my colleagues and myself for
investment purposes
in your country. We have agreed that, the funds will be
shared thus, after it has been transferred
into your account
1.30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds.
2.10% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for any incidental
expenses that may be
incurred in the course of the transfer.
3.60% to us the originators of the transaction.
If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage of the
trust, we hope to
bestow on you and your company,then kindly get to me
immediately via my my alternative email aliuabba@dygo.com
or you call me on my private number 234-1-77533 for information.
Furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax number and exclusive
bank particulars
so that I can use these information to apply for the release
and subsequent transfer of the funds in
your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
ALIU ABBA
DIRECTOR, STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC LAGOS.

I had a cousin called Johnson Creek
who I haven't heard from in about 12 years - could this be the same man?
He wasn't married either (I think he was a bit of a bender if you know what I
mean)
Anyway my cousin Johnson only had one arm as he got the left one ripped off
whilst down a butty mine in
Liverpool ages ago.
Did the Johnson Creek you're referring to only have one arm? If so it must be
the same man and I'd like to
claim his inheritance.
Please reply soonest with details of Johnson's limb (or lack of it)

transaction.
However, I will like you to forward to me your private telephone and fax numbers

communication. Or you can call me any time on my cell phone:

I am looking forward to hear from you.

You haven't answered my question. The Johnson Creek that you refer to – was he
missing an arm.
This is VERY IMPORTANT because if he was then he was, very
likely, my cousin.
Please confirm J Creek limb status as soon as possible.

You still haven't answered my question. The Johnson Creek that you refer to –
was he missing
an arm. This is VERY IMPORTANT because if he was then he was,
very likely, my cousin.
Please confirm J Creek limb status as soon as possible.
Was he armless or not?

family's

Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Raphael Maloney and my sister is Miss Sofie Maloney, we are the
children of late Chief John
Maloney from Sierra Leone. I am writing you in
absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to
transfer our cash of
eleven Million Dollars ($11,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security
trust
firm in Europe the money is in trunk box deposited and declared as family
valuables by my late father as
a matter of fact the company does not know the
content as money, although my father made them to
under stand that the box
belongs to his foreign partner.
Source of the money:
My late father Chief John Maloney , a native of Makeni District in the Northerh
province of Sierra Leone,
was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining
co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my
father, this money was the
income accrued from Mining Co-operation's over draft and minor sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of Major Paul Koroma
and the combined
forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed
my country, following the forceful
removal from power of the civilian elected
President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had
already made
arrangement for his family thats talking about my mother, my little sister and
myself to be
evacuated to Cotonou Republic of Benin with the CERTIFICATE
OFDEPOSIT he made with a security
firm in Europe through the aid of U.N
evacuation team.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of Public
and Government
properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone mining coop. Was
one of the target looted and it was
destroyed. My father including other top
Government functionaries were attaked and killed by the rebels
in November 2000
because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
As a result of my father's death , and with the news of my uncle's involvement
in the air crash in January
it dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths
caused my mother's heart failure and other related
complications of which she
later died in the hospital after we must have spent a lot of money on her early
this year . Now my 18 years old sister and myself are alone in this strange
country suffering without any
care or help. Without any relation, we are nowlike
refugees and orphans.
Our only hope now is in you and the box deposited in the Security Firm To this
effect, I humbly solicit your
assistance in the followings ways.
1. to assist me claim this box from the security Firm as our beneficiary
2. to transfer this money (USD$11M) in your name to your country
3. to make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in
your country and you,
our Adviser/ Manager
For your assistance, I have agreed with my younger sister that 15% of the total
amount will be for your
effort and another 5 % to cover all the expenses that
may incur during the business transaction, Last, I
urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential as no one knows our where about.
Please as you show your willingness, Forward to us your full name, address and
Tel/ Fax numbers, to
me. earnestly awaiting your response.
TO: raphmalon@front.ru (MAY REPLY HERE)
Thanks.
May God bless you as you assist us.
Mr. RAPHAEL MALONEY.

Dear Raphael Maloney
What a touching tale, but you should
be aware that you are being outbid by Patrick Bekele - he is
offering 20% of
$30million whilst you're only offering 15% of $11million. My dear chap that's a
difference of $4.35million that I would lose if I accepted your less than
generous offer over his.
Come on don't be a cheapskate - think
BIG!
Apart from the difference in the
money isn't it remarkable how similar your fortunes have been:-
1 Both of your
fathers were the General Manager of SLMC
2 Both of your
uncles were killed in aircrashes in January
3 Both of your
mothers died due to heart failure and related complications
4 Both of you are
now alone, in strange countries, suffering without any care or help
5 Both of you have
18 year old sisters
6 Both of you write
exactly the same letter (with exactly the same spelling mistakes)
Now
is that spooky or what?
You
really should find a new scriptwriter for your 419 scam; it's very sloppy that
the same letter
is going out under so many different names. Come on, be creative
and use your imagination - there
must be a better tale that you can come up
with. This one is very disappointing.

Mr. Farnades Clark
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
TEL: +31-630-298-657
Dear Sir /Madam,
I am an accountant and a member of the Contract Tender Board (CTB) of the
Petroleum, Oil & Gas
Corporation of South Africa (Pty) Ltd ( PetroSA ) . I
am presently on a special diplomatic duty in the
South Africa foreign office in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I got your contact through discreet
inquiries in my
search for a reliable individual or company who can handle a strictly
confidential
transaction that involves the transfer of a reasonable sum of money
to foreign account. I have no
doubt in your ability to handle a financial
business of considerable amount, which will form the bedrock
of an extensive
business partnership in due course. In unfolding this proposal,I want to count
on your
status that you will handle this transaction with all maturity and
confidentiality it deserves.
The money we want to transfer to you amount to a total of US$25.500,000.00
(Twenty Five Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) only. It was
extracted from various over-invoiced
contracts, masterminded by myself and some
of my colleagues for our mutual benefit when the
contracts was awarded by the
Contracts Tender Board (CTB) of Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of
South Africa (Pty) Ltd(Petro SA). The above over-invoiced payment claim
has been drafted and
short-listed for final payment to a foreign bank account
and it has been reflected as an amount to be
paid to a foreign contractor for
contract that has been executed for the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation
of
the South Africa (Petro SA) some years back. The money is currently
floating in the suspense
account of the South Africa Reserve Bank (SARB)
awaiting claim by a foreign partner, which status we
absolutely want you to
assume. The code of conduct bureau in South Africa has made it an offence for
civil servants like us to (A) operate a foreign account (B) own a foreign
company and (C) take up contract
while still in active service. This is why we
need your assistance.
Now is the optimum period to realize this fund following the recent directive
given to all-federal parastatals
and corporations to pay off all foreign debts.
I therefore seek your assistance to allow the remittance of
this fund to be made
to your personal or company's bank account. We have agreed that 25% of the total
sum will be given to you and 75% will be for me and my colleagues after the
successful transference of
the fund to your bank account.
I want to assure you that all modalities for the successful transfer of this
money to your account has been
perfectly worked out and as such,there is no fear
of failure. However, I would want to
believe that you are
honest enough and will not raise any misgiving
attitude when the funds enter your account or in any aspect
of the transaction.
Most importantly, you will keep this transaction very confidential so as not to
tarnish the
confidence reposed on these officials by the nation's financial
house.
If this business proposal interest you, You are at liberty to indicate your
willingness to me through email
Addres (farnades_2003@rediffmail.com)
or telephone No:+31-630-298-657 immediate commencement
of the transaction.
To enable us commense this project and for the fund to be
successfully transferred to your account, you
will have to provide the
following information:
1.Your company name and address that you wish to use as the beneficiary to claim
the fund.
2.Your private telephone,fax Numbers.
3.Your Bank name, address and account number where you would want the money
remitted into.Note
that the account may be new or old provided it is an account
you have absolute control.
More information about the remittance of the fund to your account will be sent
to you when I receive your
response. Meanwhile, your swift response will
help us to meet the ultimatum given to all foreign contractors
in this payment
quarter to ensure that funds are claimed.
We also wish to discuss investment strategy with you.We have the plan of
investing substantial part of our
fund in real estate or any profitable
business with your assistance in your country.Please, treat this
information as
confidential.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. farnades clark
30 Apr. 03
Let me see if I've got this right.
1 You are a civil servant working for the Petroleum, Oil &
Gas Corporation of South Africa
2 You, as a trusted employee and accountant, together with
some of your colleagues have
arranged that a number
of contracts be over-invoiced so that following payment to the suppliers
there
is a surplus of $25.5million.
3 Obviously your employers are unaware of your actions.
4 You now wish to realise this surplus of $25.5 million for
your own benefit.
5 You say that, due to South African legislation, you are
unable to open an overseas bank
account and you
need the assistance of a foreigner.
6 You are concerned that the foreigner you deal with be
totally honest.
7 Additionally he or she should not let your employers know
what you have done.
8 For his assistance you are willing to pay him $6,375,000
I think that this is a fair summary of your proposal.
If I accept all of the above points then I could draw the following conclusions:
1 You and your colleagues are thieves and have abused the
trust of your employer.
2 You require the services of someone else who is equally
dishonest to assist you.
But you and I know that there is no $25.5million. You are only sending out this
e-mail to
hundreds of people to try and get a few greedy, stupid and dishonest
ones to be attracted
to your story. You will then systematically divert funds
from them for various reasons such as
demurrage charges, bank charges, lawyer
charges etc.
If you are successful you will have made a few thousand dollars and your
"victims" will be
out of pocket.
It's commonly called the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud or "419"
Thank you for your offer but I think I'll pass on this one.
I received the same e-mail from 2 different scammers on
the same day.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am Mudala
Makakwe,the first son ofTawanda Makakwe,the most
popular black farmerin Zimbabwe who was
murdered in the land dispute in my
country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to
write
you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit
the sum of US12
million (Twelve million, United States dollars), in one of the
private security company, as he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe this
money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much
demurrage from security
company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals
for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem
came when
Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act
Reform wholly affecting the rich
white farmers and some few black farmers, and
this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean
war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this
Land
reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of
our lives and are currently
staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking
political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer
my fathers money to a
more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a
refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any
financial transaction throughout the
territorial zone of Netherlands, As
the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a
genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my
government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The
South African government seems to
be playing along with them.

As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to
entrust my
future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this
transaction is risk free.
If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want
you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the
security company to clear
the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i
have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the
Netherlands from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put
in place like change of ownership to the consignment

mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction. If you
do not prefer a partnership I am willing to

for my
investment in your country. Contact m with the above telephone number or my

Your truly remarkable offers
Greetings
to Mudala Makakwe & Tamma Berdama.
Now
before we start you have to sort out one thing - who exactly had the most
popular black farmer
as a father?
You
are both claiming it was your father but you may also want to confer with Lucky
Garbi,
Moyo Uzuhi, Rubutu Neega and Simon Muzenda -all of whom claim that their
fathers were the most
popular black farmers in Zimbabwe.
There can only be one most popular so
maybe you'll have to re-phrase your touching letters in future
to say "2nd
most popular black farmer or 15th most popular black farmer or even he was
a farmer who
nobody liked"
You two, however, are at least in the
most generous group, having offered me 15% of $12million -
some of your less
thoughtful friends have offered as little as 10% of $5.8million. Adding up all
the
offers I've had in the past few days I stand to make just over $8million -
not bad for letting you guys
use my bank account for such a short time.
And people say that Africa is a
poor continent - just goes to show eh!
I'm delighted that your proposed
transactions are risk-free: do you mean for you or for me?
Well for me they're
certainly risk-free because I will not be participating in your thinly disguised
419
scams. I'm assuming that you are Nigerians and NOT from Zimbabwe - please
let me know if I'm
wrong on that one.
Amsterdam must be getting a bit
crowded with you guys these days. Pity, it used to be such an
attractive city
but with you lot around it doesn't quite have the appeal it used to have.
Do you all get together to sort out
who to send your e-mails to? Obviously not or we wouldn't have
the current
situation where I've had the same offer from 6 of you within one week. You know
guys
you really ought to organise things a bit better or alternatively (and I
know this may be a fairly new
concept for you) you could try working for a
living; billions of people do and they seem reasonably
satisfied with the
result.
Do you ever manage to hook some
gullible idiot into your scams - and if so what's the average
that you make from
the deal? Just idle curiosity on my part - I'll understand if you don't want to
reply.
In conclusion I won't, on this
occasion, wish you luck. The sooner that the police catch up with you
the better
- I know their track record in finding you guys is not good but I've heard
that it's improving -
so there's something to look forward to - a jail sentence
hopefully.

THE PRESIDENT/CEO/MANAGING DIRECTOR
URGENT ASSISTANCE
YOU MAY BE SURPRISE TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER FROM ME SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW ME
PERSONALLY. THE PURPOSE OF MY INTRODUCTION IS THAT I AM MR FOX ADA THE FIRST SON
OF DR. ADA KING WHO WAS RECENTLY MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN ZIMBABWE. I WAS
FURNISH WITH VIABLE INFORMATION FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE HERE IN AMSTERDAM,
THE NETHERLANDS AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU. BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER,
HE HAD
TAKEN ME TO JOHANESBURG TO DEPOSITE THE SUM OF FIFTEEN.FIVE MILLION
UNITED
STATE DOLLARS (US$15.500.00) IN A SECURITY COMPANY THAT MOVE THIS MONEY
DIPLOMATICALY TO THE NETHERLANDS, AS IF HE FORESAW THE LOOMING DANGER IN
ZIMBABWE.
THIS MONEY WAS DEPOSITED IN A BOX AS DIPLOMATIC ITEMS OF HIGH VALUE TO
REDUCE THE
COST OF TRANSPORTATIONAND TO AVOID MUCH DEMURAGE FROM THE SECURITY
COMPANY.
THIS AMOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINES AND CHEMICALS
FOR
FARMS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARM IN SWAZILAND.
THIS LAND PROBLEM CAME WHEN ZIMBABWE PRESIDENT MR. ROBERT MUGABE, INTRODUCED
A NEW LAND RESOLUTION THAT WHOLLY AFFECTED RICH FARMERS MAINLY WHITE AND SOME
FEW
BLACK FARMERS. THIS RESULTED TO THE KILLING AND MOB ACTION BY ZIMBABWE WAR
VETERANS AND SOME LUNATICS IN THE SOCIETY.INFACT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE KILLED
BECAUSE OF THIS LAND REFORMED PROGRAM WHICH MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND THAT I AM CURRENTLY STAYING IN AMSTERDAM AS
A
REFUGEE AND TO SEEK FOR A TRUST WORTHY INDIVIDUAL/FIRM TO ADVICE ME IN MAKING
THE RIGHTFULL INVESTMENT AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE FOREIGN ACCOUNT(S) WHERE THE
FUNDS
WILL BE LODGE INTO. SINCE THE LAW OF THE NETHERLANDS PROHIBIT A REFUGEE
(ASYLUM SEEKER) TO OPEN ACCOUNT OR TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY FINACIAL TRANSACTION.
AS THE ELDEST SON OF MY FATHER, I AM SADDLED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEKING
A
GENUINE FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT THE
KNOWLEDGE OF MY GOVERNMENT WHO ARE BENT ON TAKING EVERYTHING WE HAVE GOT.
I AM
FACED WITH THE DILEMA OF INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE NETHERLANDS
FOR
THE FEAR OF GOING THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE IN FUTURE SINCE BOTH COUNTRIES
HAVE SIMILAR HISTORY. MOREOVER, THE NETHERLANDS FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICY DOES NOT
ALLOW SUCH INVESTMENT FROM ASYLUM SEEKERS.
AS REGARDS YOUR COMMISSION/REMUNERATION, I AND MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY HAVE DECIDED
TO OFFER YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL SUM IMMIDIATELY AFTER WE CLEARED THE CONSIGNMENT
FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY VAULT AND ALSO SET ASIDE 5% FOR ALL YOUR
EXPENSES
(E. I TELEPHONE BILLS, TRAVELLING EXPENSES, HOTEL BILLS AND OTHER
MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES).
NOTE: I SHALL COMMIT HALF OF MY SHARE OF THE TOTAL SUM INTO A JOINT VENTURE
PROJECT PREFERABLY IN THE PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE OR OTHER PROFITABLE BUSINESS
VENTURE.
BE ASSURED THAT YOU STAND NO RISK OF ANY KIND. AS SOON AS I GET YOUR CONSENT, I
WILL FURNISH YOU WITH THE DETAILS AND CONTACT OF THE SECURITY COMPANY AND A FACE
TO
FACE MEETING WILL BE ARRANGE IN ORDER TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.
PLEASE. CONTACT ME WITH THE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBER OR E-MAIL ADDRESS, WHILE I
IMPLORE YOU TO MAINTAIN THE ABSOLUTE SECRECY REQUIRED IN THIS TRANSACTION.

Timothy
& Peter Guei
I received virtually the same e-mail from Timothy Guei and Peter Guei and
thought it was a good opportunity
to mark their efforts according to the 419 Scammer's School principles.
I sent the following to both of them:-
See attached end of

Dada OR Timothy – It can’t be both.

(You can visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm
for Very good use of modern technology –

incident).
although Robert Guei is not portrayed well
I contacted you because of my need to deal with persons
whom in this BBC report.
my family and I have had no previous personal relationships. Since
the murder of my father, I have been subjected to all sorts of harassment and
intimidation with lots of negative reports emanating from the Government and
the press about my family. The present Government has also ensured that our
bank accounts are frozen and all assets seized.
It is in view of this that I seek your co-operation and assistance in the
transfer of the sum of Eight Million Five hundred thousand United States
Dollars
(US$8.500,000.00) being the very last of my family fund in my possession You can afford to be
more generous –
and control, after the murder of my father, the Federal Government
seized Peter talks of
$27million
all our properties and our accounts both local and international was frozen.
My only hope now is this cash that my father carefully packaged and
deposited as artifacts with a Security/Finance Company in the Netherlands.
The said sum can easily be withdrawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary.
The security company based on my instructions will release the fund to you
and you will be presented as my partner who will be fronting for me in area
of viable and profitable business.
To show my preparedness and appreciation to carry-out this business with
you, 25% of the total sum will be your share and 20% commission of the
proceeds realized from the investment of this fund will also be yours, also
5% is to be set aside for any eventual cost that might arise as the
transaction proceeds. I need your full support and co-operation for the
success of this transaction. I plead with you to treat this issue
confidential and urgent because it is delicate and it demands a great degree
of secrecy.
I would want you to reach me through my through my email address above if
you are interested to assist me. I sincerely will appreciate your response.
But right now, I am in the south africa as an asylum seeker.
I wait to hear from you.

This story never really
got interesting, apart from two factors:-
1 The original Mugu seemed to get ousted fairly early on.

Dear Barrister Valentine
I have just returned from holiday and found your very interesting message ref your client Mr Abacha.In principle
I am extremely interested but would like to confirm at the outset what you would consider to be a reasonable percentage.You can be assured of my discretion in this matter.I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Hugh Eric Shun
Things were going well -
usual MODALITIES etc and then this:-
15 August 2003
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIALATTENTION
ERIC SHUN:
This is to notify you that, An adequate scrutiny has been in place. Hence I have just discorvered that, you are
being fronted to for a contract claim by some fast junior staffs.Though I have a prime suspect named Valetine.
Its government money. Before I could proceed further, are you interested to have the transfer done. I need to
know. Is it agreeable that 50:50 we be our shares. Let me know you stand, and I will tell you how it will be done
fast and faster.I want to keep you informed that this said group, has mal-prepared the file of this transfer and
hence makes it suspiciouse and almost dificult to acertain the success of the transaction of MUTUAL BENEFIT. Without my involvement and with your
urterly confidencial this funds can never be transfered. This info must be kept secret between I and you. Understand. Disclose it to bodo
(Who is bodo?) and you must stop any further conversatrion or contacts with any third party as far as this transaction is concern. Be advised Waiting for response.
Dr Mumuni Maiyaki(Director Foreign Operation -Federal Ministry of FInance)
Well 50% was better than
what Valentine had offered so I agreed -
More reams of bullshit and forged documents.

The good Dr Maiyaki asked for $51,190 for various fees

Dr Maiyaki
I appreciate the speed at which this transaction is progressing but, at this stage, I think you are asking for
me to take an awful lot on trust.You are asking me to forward to you a not inconsiderable amount of money
on the basis of a few e-mails.Whilst I generally do trust people until proved otherwise I feel that there ought
to be some proof from your side that you are who you say you are and that you can deliver this transaction satisfactorily.I have been advised by my bank that they can set up an account with their partner bank in
Nigeria so that is not a problem and need not be executed through Western Union which, I am advised,
charges extortionate handling fees.I insist on seeing proper documentation before I proceed any further
with this transaction and I would also need to have a photograph of you holding a board with my name on it
(Hugh Eric Shun) so that I can be sure that I haven't just received a scanned photo of just anyone in
Lagos. Once I have been satisfied on these points you will find me extremely willing and eager to complete the transaction.
To
help out I've also attached a Word document with my name on it - if you print
this out I'm sure it will be large enough for the photo - just head and
shoulders will do.
Yours
Hugh Eric Shun

Hello Eric,
You are supposed to be back from thje trip now, how was it, hope success.I am attaching hjere with the
picture you requested I will need yours too. Very important I know how you look.Consigning the progress of our transaction, have you been contacted by the PAYMENT OFFICE/FOREX department? want to know
urgently.
Talking about the ducumention of the contract, I havce already given you an insight of the expences with need
be run. As at today I have succeeded in making half payment again for the vetting apoproval, so that the funds
can be set free from money laundering,terrorism, and drug free. I have paid $3,000 out of 5,200. I told you also
need to obtain a tax clearance certificate with will cost us about 0.1% that $25,000Therefore, haven told you all these,
I don't expect any blames from my side, most especially, when I have been striving to ensure adequate
financial committment towards this project.I hope you are getting prepared gradually, for the coming over
when ever the Payment request that of you. I don't want you to be cought unaware.
Therefore be praparing
yourself gradually.(Is
this part of some kinky foreplay?) Relating to the account, I have told you that it must be
open here locally. This I have requested for a copy of your passport photograph, and to open such, it will
amount to a minimum of 10,000 that you are aware of. A stitch in time saves nine.Talking aboiut the paper
works procurement, you need to participate fully as a partner in the procurement therefore, I expect you to
send some funds accross for cvthis purpose. I have told you the quickest way, which is via western union.
To be send through my P.A. MR OGUMA OSIKEMEKHA.We don't have much time on ourside. I want this
whole thing perfected between now and early next week.Meanwhile when ever you send funds do let me know
