Fraud email example:
From: "Joy Kabila (Mrs.)" <mrsjoy@ourwest.com> (may be fake)
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 03:14:22 -0800
Subject: Joy Kabila (Mrs.)
Dear friend,
I am mrs. Joy Kabila, one of the wives of Late President Laurent
D. Kabila of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Consequent upon the
assassination of my husband, I am in possession of USD 58,000,000
(Fifty Eight Million US Dollars Only) being funds earlier earmarked
for special projects.
This fund has since been deposited in a security company in Dubai Country of (U.A.E) where I am residing now with my children.
It is now my intention to move the said fund out of this place (Dubai) to a safer place for the benefit of my children and I,
for immediate investment.
Based on this that I solicited for your assistance to enable me take this money out of Dubai. However, note that my children and I have agreed to give you 20% of the total fund if you can accept the offer of assisting us.
Also it will be your responsibility in directing us on a viable business. It is also my intention to relocate and probably take a temporarily resident in your country pending when all the troubles in my country will be resolved.
We advised that you look for a house we will buy as soon as we
arrived. To conclude this transaction, you will be required to come to
Dubai to open an account in any bank here in Dubai where the security
company will deposit the total sum in your favor. From this bank the
money will be remitted into your original bank in your country.
Immediately this done, all of us will depart Dubai to your country,
where my children and I are expected to take a temporary resident.
Please note that I can not open any Bank account with my name because,
My late husband's first son-JOSEPH-who took over power in our country,
don't want to see me and my children, He claimed that when our husband
was alive, that I was very close to him than any other of his wives
including his (Joseph) mother.
He also claimed that because of my closeness to him that I was able to get things from him more than
others.
As a result he has been monitoring me. Infact this one of the
main reasons I want to take my children out of our country and any
nearby country.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
joy Kabila (Mrs.)
