Fraud email example:
From: "Maria kabila" <mariakabila65@hotmail.com>
Date: Sun, 05 Feb 2006 14:11:02 +0000
Subject: Utmost Response
From: Mrs. Maria Kabila
Ituri Region, Congo (DRC).
Email:mariakabila65@hotmail.com
Attn: Sir,
Compliments of the day, I am Mrs Maria Laurent Kabila,
the youngest wife of the slain president of the
democratic republic of Congo (DRC). I know that my
letter will come as a surprise to you being that I am
still a stranger but I can assure you that I mean no harm but only
seeking
for your assistance and cooperation. Find below the reason for this
letter.
Before his death on the 16th of January, 2001, and
being his most trusted wife, he kept under my custody
the documents with which he deposited the sum of
twenty million united states dollars (US$20.
000.000.00) with a private security/deposit company in
oversea, through his trusted friend
and personal attorney barrister Nicholas Ngoy, who is
privy to the whole transaction.
You must have been aware that my late husband was
assassinated by his bodyguard during an emergency
state meeting with his cabinet members and other top
government officials. Ever since then, this money is
still deposited with the security company in oversea,
while the deposit documents is still intact under my
custody.
However, I have concluded in concrete terms with my
husband's attorney, barrister Nicholas Ngoy, to
relocate the above mentioned fund with the
assistance of the security/deposit company in oversea,
to any bank account in any part of the world where the
money will be well secured for immediate investment
and to enable me organize my immediate family since I
do not know what my fate will be like when the chips
are down, most especially when my husband is no longer
alive to take care of my little children who never
enjoyed their father before death snatched him from
them.
At this juncture, I know that you may have been
wondering how I chose and trusted you amongst all
people to be part of this transaction, please
permit me to state here, that the reason is because we
can not be able to relocate this money else where
without involving an independent foreign partner.
Like I mentioned to you earlier, the documents in my
custody bears the name of my late husband, hence the
reason why I needed a foreign person to assist in this
regards so as not to raise any suspicion whatsoever
within the rest members of the Kabila family, besides,
Joseph kabila my step son (from my late husband's
first wife) is currently the president of the
democratic republic of Congo (DRC) and as well the
wrangling/distrust inherent in a polygamous family
system will never make him (Joseph) to allow me take
possession of this money if he ever get to know about
its existence, hence the reason why I am contacting
you for assistance.
I sincerely believe I can trust you completely
concerning this transaction with sincerity, honesty
and utmost confidentiality since my future hinges
on the successful outcome of this transaction.
Be informed, that the subject matter is presently in
physical cash, and was declared on a face value as
precious metals and personal effect. This idea was
burn out of the need not to let the management of the
security company to know the content of the
consignment for security reasons.
To this end, if you are willing to assist me to
relocate the funds, I will be very glad
to link you with barrister Nicholas Ngoy, who will
brief you in details on the modalities required to
move the funds. Your involvement and
assistance in this project attracts 10% of the total
sum.
For proper identification, enclosed is my picture
together with my little daughter Jessica. I will give you more details
about
my present situation on hearing from you. Reach me back via
mariakabila65@hotmail.com
Truly yours,
Mrs. Maria L. Kabila.
