Fraud email example:
From: "Mrs.MARY Martins" <mrsmary6@excite.com> (may be fake)
Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 15:01:55 +0400
Subject: Private Business Letter
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs.mary
Martins the wife of late Mr. Francis Martins, he was among the few
richest black Zimbabwean farmers who was murdered by an agent of the ruling
government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and
sympathy for the Zimbabweans opposition party and over a land dispute. The
land problem arose when president Mugabe Introduced the new land Act
that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
condemned the ˜Modus adopted by the Government, this resulted in
rampant killing and mob actions.
During my husband's initial period of explosive farm growth he took me
to Dubai in United Arab Emirates to deposit the sum of US$ 32 Million dollars (Thirty
Two Million United States Dollars)at the United States Consulate General Vault
in U.A.E because he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited
as Gem / Precious Stones in order to avoid much demurrage from the
consulate General. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery and
chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of new farms in
Switzerland and Lesotho.
Consequently, since my husband's death I and my son richard are
currently staying in Ghana as refugees / asylum seekers for security
purpose. It may interest you to know that I got your email address from
the British Network Exchange online here in GHANA as a trustworthy
person to deal with then I decided to contact you. I would like to
withdraw the entire Funds in U.A.E so I can invest it and I need your help
please. Kindly reply my Email by indicating your interest and willingness to
assist me and my family, and also let me know how quickly you can travel
to U.A.E. Bear in mind that at the end of your assistance I will compensate you with 30% of the total money
for your effort and 65% will be for us, while the remaining 5% will be
mapped out for any expenses we may incur during the deal. Please do not
take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you, God bless.
Best Regards,
Mrs.MARY Martins
