"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Dear Beloved,

Calvary greetings in the precious name of our lord Jesus christ.

Beloved, i sincerely plead with you not to take offence with me for my attitude
of asking for your assistance, i believe that the Lord will surely reward
you as the bible says in Gal 6:10"As we have there fore opportunity, let
us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the house hold
of faith"

I am Kodila Basungama Julien,from the republic of congo Kinshasa.

Iam an orphan that grew up in kinshasa and i decided to travel to Burkinafaso
for a better standard life.


I got to Burkinafaso and i began to work as a steward in the house of a
great politician called pierre badiel.


My boss became very successful and finally left politics to relocate with
the entire famil to Norway.


In Norway i found favor in the sight of my boss, he sent me to school and
took care of me like his own biological son.


I was everybody favourite,and this was due to my commitment in fellowship
with the almighty GOD, as i am a devoted Christian since i received JESUS
CHRIST as my personal lord and savior in the year 1980.

My boss became very sick, and was diagnose with the cancer of the lungs,
this sickness lasted for 7 years and he finally died this year on the 9th
of march.(may his soul dwell in perfect peace)
On the 5th of september a very big lawyer of my boss came from Africa, to
disclose the will of my boss to everyone.


To my greatest surprise half of his will was allocated to me. He gave me
his money that amounted to millions of dollars and some wonderful properties
in Africa.


Every body was surprised including the laywer.


But i was not too happy because the money was too much for me alone, so
i suggested to my boss wife that half of the funds should go for her and
her children and the rest for me.


My beloved little did i know that the wife of my boss family and some other
relatives of my boss are planning to kill me. All of a sudden i became
there enemy.


They told me that i have bewitched my boss and that am a wizard, that i
have spiritually charmed him, and that was why he gave me half of his will.



I was then advised to leave the premises for savety,the lawyer called me
on the telephone and asked me if I am ready to go through the process of
receiving my inheritance, I declined and i told him all that the inheritance
had caused. The lawyer told me to be strong and courageous and advised me
to stand for my right.


He made me to understand that that everything is in the power of his hands,
that he can give me what rightly belongs to me, the documents of the properties
and some vital informations about the funds,where they are located and all
are in the power of his hands.


But the lawyer advised me to put the funds in my fathers account or in the
account of my relative for a while for security reasons.
I have confessed and I told him my life history, that i dont know who my
parents are nether do I know any relative, but i promised the lawyer that
I will get someone and then get back to him.
I told some of my close friends to please help and receive the fund, but
they are afraid and they said that the money is too much for them to keep
in there account.


I therefore did not stop there, I took another step of faith to put it in
writing and to send it to as many people as i can on the internet until
i get someone who is ready to help.


I need someone to help keep this funds for a while, I need someone that
will help me walk with the lawyer to secure this inheritance.
But i need a child of GOD, one that fears GOD, a devoted born again chriatian,one
full of love and sincerity, an upright man filled with the wisdom of GOD.


If you are in that category please indicate by replying my mail and if you
are not, please dont reply me.


in my nest letter i shall give you a tangible prove that I am of GOD and
not of the devil.


N.B please note that if i dont reply your mail after a week, it means that
i have found someone to help me.
This is my alternative email address julien_kodila1@mail2europe.com

thanks for taking your time to read my mail.

GOD bless u real good.

Julien Kodila.
