Fraud email example:
From: "HELEN RISHER" <lenrisher08@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2006 13:35:15 -0500
Subject: Hello Dear.
Dear Sirr,
Kindly accept my apology for contacting you via this medium. Although, We
have never met before. Nevertheless, I have every reason to believe That you
are a highly respected personality as I got your contact through a friend
that worked with chambers of commerce and Industry in your country. I don't
know you personally but I believe God has made this contact possible and
also hope you will not disappoint me for trusting you.
My name is Mrs. Helen Risher a Swedish, my meeting with Mr. David Risher a
Caribbean led us into marriage. My husband Mr. David Risher who is now late,
and was a farmer and exporter of Tobacco in the Republic of Zimbabwe, he was
shot dead allegedly by ZANU-PF supporters in Zimbabwe on 25th of April 2000
in the farm. You can confirm this by copying and pasting this link on your
internet browser.
He (Robert Mugabe) did not stop at that; he also went on to expel all White
farmers in Zimbabwe. He implored the services of his war veterans to
undertake this seizure. The war veterans have been accused (correctly) of
being behind the violent occupation of white-owned commercial farms in which
an estimated 70,000 farm workers have been displaced. At least, over
hundreds white farmers and black settlers have been killed since the farm
invasions began in February 2000.We have decided that we must see this
problem to the end.
Although we know that we are taking a great risk by staying here in
Zimbabwe. At the Moment, our phone lines are Bugged, and all our movements
are being monitored by Zimbabweans (Robert Mugabe’s) secret Police.
Therefore email is the safest means of communication for now. We (White
farmers in Zimbabwe) have taken our case to the United Nations and even with
the threats of transactions and the subsequent sanctions from the West
against the Zimbabwean Authorities, Robert Mugabe (The president of
Zimbabwe) still remains adamant.
At present, my money (mine and that of my late husband) totaling
US$10,750,000. (Ten eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand United
States Dollars) which I was able to move via services of a Diplomat to move
this money (Registered as official documents) out of Zimbabwe to Europe.
Now my question is?
Can you help me?
Can you handle this money?
Are you capable of handling this money in terms of investment?
If you can, please contact me because I still have the interest into
Agricultural business or any better one but not farming this time. You will
be required to contact the Diplomat that moved this money out of Zimbabwe
and to Europe.
All necessary particulars which can facilitate and enable you claim the
money on my behalf will be forwarded to you as soon as your consent to
proceed is received. For Your assistance, you will be entitled to 25% of the
total sum or we agree on a comfortable percentage, that is if you can come
up with a good investment idea. You are also obliged to help/advise on the
proper and most convenient way of investing this money in your country
Hopefully, You will consider this request and respond positively.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Helen
