Fraud email example:
From: lama_emais@yahoo.co.uk
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 11:03:52 +0200
Subject: Be next of kin
ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO.
, I am Mr.LAMA MEDEI, Bank Manager {Hillbrow Branch} of Amalgamated Bank Of South Africa
{ABSA}. I got your email contact, in my search for a trusted partner,
who will assist me with this confidential business proposal.
Mr. Stev Jam made a numbered times (Fixed) deposited, valued at
US$25,000.00 (twethy- five Million US Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity,
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,
that Mr. Stev Jam died from accident.
On further investigation,
I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin
were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that
Mr. Stev Jam did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$25 M is still sitting in the Bank
No one has come forward to claim this sum. According to the South African Law, at the expiration
of 6{Six} years, the money will devert to the ownership of the South African Government ,
if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as
the next of kin to Mr. Stev Jam since he was a foreigner when he was alive.
;
This is simple ( 1) I shall employ the services of
an attorney for drafting and obtaining the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for this transfer.
(2) A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide,
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin to Mr. Stev Jam.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share
in the ratio of 70% for me and 2o% for you then 10% will be set aside for any expenses that may occur
during the transfer process.
There is no risk at all as the attorney and my position will do all the paperwork
for this transaction as a Branch Manager l guaranteed the successful execution
of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and
be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards
Mr.L MEDEI
