Fraud email example:
From: "Mr Colin Elmer" <conlinelmer146@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 03:40:01 -1200
Subject: Business proposal
FROM: Mr.Colin Elmer
(colinelmer300uk@yahoo.co.uk)
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Colin Elmer
director of operations of the Kleinwort Benson Private Bank
Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Abdul Aziz who
was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value
of Twelve million five hundred thousand Great Britain Pounds
only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to
him, even during the war . Again after the war another
notification was sent and still no response came from him.We
later found out that the Major and his family had been
killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that
Major Fadi Basem did not declare any next of kin in his
official papers including the paper work of his bank
deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank. So,Twelve million five hundred thousand Great Britain
Pounds(12,500,000GBP) is still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is
that according to the laws of my country at the expiration
of 7years the funds will be reverted to the Scotland
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against
this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you
as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Major Abdul
Aziz so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful. I will contact my
attorney(Legal Adviser) to prepare the necessary document
that will back you up as the next of kin to Major Abdul Aziz
, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to
provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job.After you have been made the
next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on
your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you.There is no risk
involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the
funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account
we shall share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and
5% will be use to pay back any partner at the end of the
transfer for any money spent in the process of the transfer.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and
current residential address and I will prefer you to reach
me on this email address:(colinelmer300uk@yahoo.co.uk) which
is my private email address and finally after that i shall
provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Colin Elmer.
