Fraud email example:
From: "Tom Philip" <tomphilip234@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 04 Oct 2005 01:04:20 +0000
Subject: Request For Urgent Business proposal.
I am Mr Tom Philip of Midas International Bank and a personnal Account
Officer of one late Mr.Patrick ,a nationale of your country, who worked with
Shell Petroleum Development Company here in Nigeria (SPDC ) until his
untimely death.
On the 22nd Sept, 2000,our customer, his wife and their three children were
involved in a ghastly car accident along Sagamu express road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives."May their souls rest in
perfect peace,Amen" and since then all enquiries to locate any of his
extended relatives proved abortive as his supposed next of kin died also in
the same accident, hence the need to solicit for your assistance and
presentation as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased which will be fully
backed up with notarized documents from law courts by Attorney.
Therefore your expected role performance will be repartrating the money and
property left behind by our late customer before it will be confiscated or
declared unserviceable by our bank where he deposited the sum of Twenty-
million five hundred united states dollar ( US$20.5 million dollars).
This becomes imperative for us to carry out as our Banking principles and
guidelines stipulate that if such money remained unclaimed for over some
period of years with the account unservicable the money will be confisicated
and this will happen after next year if nobody comes for the money and
since we have not seen any body for the money and his property for the last
5 years. I am giving you 100% guarantee of hitch free transaction which will
be executed under legitimate arrangement and you will be protected from any
breach of the law as all documents must be notarised in Legal court.
On receipt of your response I will inform you and the following: Your full
name, your mailing address, your occupation, your age and marital status,
your private telephone and fax numbers and your nominated Bank account where
these Funds will be transferred. Note that the request for a foreigner to
act as the next of kin is mainly due to the fact that our deceased customer
is a foreigner and no indigine can lay hands on the money .
We will discuss about possible overseas investment placements with my own
shares in your country. kindly get in touch with me through this email
address: tomsphilip234@yahoo.co.nz or you can call me on this number:
234-802-405-9197.
Best regards,
Tom Philip
