Fraud email example:
From: "Madam Victoria Usman" <madam_victoria08@hotmail.com>
Date: Fri, 03 Feb 2006 20:15:57 +0000
Subject: your urgent response is needed.
Dear Friend ,
I am Madam Victoria Roys, a member of staff of SOCIETE GENERALE AU BANQUES
DES BURKINA(SGBB)OUAGDOUGOU BURKINA FASO.I am writing following an
oppurtunity in my office that will be of imense benefit to both of us.
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address.Please I got your name and address through a commercial publication
via national directory. during my desperate search for someone that could
honestly and confidentially assist me by serving as my trustee.
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $10.7m (TEN MILLION SEVEN
HUNDRED THAUSAND DOLLARS)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his
life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on
January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more
about the crash on visiting this website.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because the Bank cannot
release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.Unfortunately I
learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with
him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind
for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to do business with you
and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds
for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and we don’t want this money to go back into ban treasury as unclaimed
bill.I agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, 5%
for any expences that might come up,while the ballance will be for me . I
will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages
indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to
me and trust is our watchword in this transaction. Note this transaction is
confidential and risk free.
As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me by return mail
whether or not you are willing to enter into this deal. In the event you are
not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no
one about it. I am very careful on truncating my banking career should you
mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in this regard.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response.Please in your response include your telephone number
and fax number for a better communication between us.
I await your response.
sincerely yours
Madam Victoria roys.
