Fraud email example:
From: John Mark <jomark124@yahoo.com>
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 03:42:56 -0800 (PST)
Subject: Attn : Wim, Pls. Very Personal.
FROM: MR. JOHN MARK.
E-MAIL: jomark124@yahoo.com
ATTN: Wim,
I am Mr.JOHN MARK,from Zimbabwe,the son of late DR RICHARD MARK ,who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white famers.
My father was among the few black Zimbawean rich famers murdered in cold blood by the war vetrans backed by the government. Before the death of my father, he went to TOGO to deposit the sum of US$20.5M (Twenty Million Five hundred thousand United State Dollars) With one of the security company in LOME-TOGO, as if he knew the looming danger in ZIMBABWE. The money was deposited on my name with a WILL TESTERMENT under the custody of a local Security Company in LOME-TOGO one of the West African Countries under the coverage as personal effects/ artifact for export to overseas to avoid public and government interest/much demurrage from the security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in LOME-TOGO. This Land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act. Which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the "Modus operandi" adopted b!
y the
government.
Having mourned my father with full respect and subsequent rampart killing / Mob actions. I and my mother with my only sister ran to LOME-TOGO where we are presently staying as an Asylum seeker and as such, I decided to look for a foreigner who would assist me under a mutual understanding in retrieving/transfer of the fund for it's investment outside the shores of Africa, this is because most of our West African countries are politicaly unstable. Because what has brought grief to my life and mother today is political problem and as such I cannot invest this money here because of insecurity to my life. It was on this background that I have sent this proposal to you.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessary matter. So if you are willing to assist us , I and my family have agreed to give you 25% of the total money,70% will be for me and my family, the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses, we might incure during the transaction .
Therefore if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my mail .I also need your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this business depends on how secret it is kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards,
MR.JOHN MARK.
N/B.PLEASE I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN SEND YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER TO INDICATE YOUR INTREST IN THIS TRANSACTION AND I AM ALSO APPOLOGIES FOR BRINGING TO YOU THIS MASSEGE THROUGH MAIL DUE TO OUR REFUGE STATUS HERE.
