Fraud email example:
From: "rose momoh" <rose_momoh33@hotmail.com>
Date: Wed, 05 Oct 2005 09:26:10 -0400
Subject: from momoh
ATTN: Sir.
This business proposal to you is strictly
confidential, with due respect. Sorry at this
perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving
this letter from me, Since we have not known
ourselves
or met previously. Despite that, I am constrained to
write you this letter because of the urgency of it.
I
am Mrs. ROSE MOMOH, the wife of late LT. - Gen.
DENNIS MOMOH former ECOMOG ARMY COMMANDER [West
African peacekeeping force in Sierra Leone] who died
in the Sierra Leone civil disturbance [War]. My
three
daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom
traditional norms.
We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in
the hands of my late husband's family, simply
because
I did not bear a male child [heir apparent] for my
late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband
had, [wealth] belongs to his brothers/family. And
myself is to be remarried by his immediate younger
brother which I vehemently refused. They have taken
all that I suffered with my husband to acquire
including treasures, houses and his bank particular
seized by them. I wanted to escape to the United
State
of America [USA} with my children on exile, but
again
they conspired and stole my international passport
and
other traveling document to further frustrate me.
Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code
[KTC} from a Security & Finance Company
that my late husband deposited
U.S
$10,000,000 Million [TEN Million ]
United States Dollars] cash with this
company. It has therefore, become very necessary and
urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to
help me receive/secure these funds overseas in a
reliable bank Account (presumably an empty Bank
Account, if available) and to help invest it on our
behalf as well, while we find a way of getting out
to
meet with you in your country.
These funds are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY
MANDATE"
with the Security Company to avoid detection,
seizure
or diversion. I have had several telephone
discussions
with the Assistant Director of the security company,
who has express willingness to help me on meeting
the
company's demand, as soon as I submit a reliable
bank
account for the wire transfer. This is why I have
contacted you to help save my children and I,
receive
these funds on our behalf. But, you would need to
give
me sufficient assurance that if you help me, you
would
not divert the funds. My children and I have
resolved
to give you 30% of the total sum. This is all my
children and I have got to live on.
Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope
you will not disappoint me. I look forward to your
urgent response, including your private phone /
mobile Number and also your fax no for easier
communication.
NB: The secret codes (e.g Pin No., Secret Access
Code)
for this fund are safely kept with me which I can
give
you as soon as you express desire to help me.
Stay blessed.
MRS ROSE MOMOH
