Fraud email example:
From: Adella Chiminya <adella@chiminya.orangehome.co.uk>
Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 18:59:37 +0100 (CET)
Subject: Hope All Is Well
Attention: Sir/Madam,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my mail is that I am Mrs. Adella Chiminya, the wife of Denise Adella, who was murdered some time ago in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I am writing from South Africa where I am currently based as a political asylum seeker.
Before the death of my husband, he deposit the sum of (US$11.5M) Eleven million, five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only, in a private Security and Finance Company. May be he for-saw the looming danger in Zimbabwe? But this money was put in a box as gemstones before it was deposited to avoid much tax and demurrage from the security company. This money was initially meant to purchase new Machines and Chemicals for the farms and also to establish a new farm in Swaziland.
The land problem came when the government of Zimbabwe under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe, introduced a new land use decree/act that, affected a lot of rich white farmers and some few blacks. This resulted to the mob action and killing by Zimbabwe war Veterans and some Lunatics in the society, so to say.Infact, a lot of people were killed in this land reform act, including my husband.
It is against this back-ground, that I consulted with my family to transfer this money out of the finance company where it was initially kept to a foreign account for investment purpose since I am now staying in South Africa and the law of South Africa, forbids a refugee (asylum Seeker) to have such a money in an account. I am therefore saddled with the responsibility by my family to seek for a genuine Person with foreign account to handle this transaction. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in the South Africa because; I will not like to go through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The South Africa foreign exchange does not allow such investment from asylum seekers.
Hence the help we need from you is to help us claim the sum of Eleven million five hundred thousand United State dollars (11.5m USD) that my husband left or deposited in a finance house before his untimely death Europe. We cannot go and make the claim and if we try the President have people all over that will know and they will seize the funds, so I Mrs.Adella Chiminya is Writing to you as a big brother nation to help us and claim this fund you can stand as a partner to My late husband and I shall send to the finance house an application for claim or retransfer of the funds to your account and you will have 30% of the total Amount and if you like invest our share in your country but it is very important you help us to come over to your great country.
Please forward all response to my email: chimnyadella@aim.com
