Fraud email example:
From: "Mrs. Malissa Pointer" <mailsformalissa@msn.com>
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 23:26:58 +0000
Subject: From Mrs. Malissa Pointer,
Dearly Beloved,
It is by faith I send you this mail, having known the truth, I have no
choice than to do what is lawful and right.
By way of introduction I am Mrs. Malissa Pointer the wife of Mr. Harry
Pointer.
My husband worked in his life time with the Chevron / Texaco in Kenya for
Fifteen years before he
died in the year 2001. We were married for sixteen years unfortunately for
me without an issue. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for
six months.
After his demisece I decided not to re-marry or get a Child outside my
matrimonial home which my
religion and my opinion of marraige is against. Knowing my Onions or rather
backgrounds in an effort to appreciate his love for me i optioned not to
invite any other man to my marital life.
Before he passed on to my suprise among others he deposited some funds with
a Security company in Europe while he was on assignment, an exact amount of
9.5 million United States Dollars which came to my notice barely a year ago.
The funds where deposited as family valuables / treasures for security
reasons. Hence they are not aware of the real contents of the consignment.
sickness data. It is my last wish to see this money used positively. Because
relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,
I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any
of them after this horrid experience.
I ask you to help me stand to collect the Funds from the security company
I pray to find a responsible person with honour who would use this money to
fund for the upliftment of the underprivilaged and physically challenged.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard due to my soundless
voice and the
presence of my husband's relatives around me always just for the fact that
they want to lay claims to the funds they know nothing about.
I don't want them to know about this development.As soon as I receive your
reply I shall give you the contact of a representative who is in Europe as
he will be the one to assist you in laying claims for these funds. I have to
go now.
Yours Ever.
Malissa Pointer.
