Fraud email example:
From: olaKojo Annan. <bdekojoannancom@netscape.net>
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2006 19:01:10 +0100
Subject: I await your urgent response. hgfgj
Dear Partner,
My names are Kojo Annan. I am the son of the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan.My motive
for contacting you is based on my urgent need of a partner that can assist in securely and investing
$47,000,000.00. The source of these funds is my now overtly known participation as a consultant with
the Swiss firm Cotecna Inspection S.A, in the Iraqi Oil for Food Program. Though the program has been
discontinued since 2004, the public scrutiny into how the affairs of the program were run has refused to
go away.
I was on transit in Europe when I was contacted on the phone by my lawyers that a further revelation
about two incriminating emails had broken on the said program. I had to immediately re-organize my
immediate travel plans. Coincidentally, I had just taken delivery of the abovementioned funds. Because I
knew that the press would be looking out for me, I had to hurriedly seek for a storage company to keep
away the trunk cases containing the said funds.
Fortunately, a 145 page report released by an independent inquiry committee headed by U.S. Federal
Reserve Board chairman Paul Volcker has exonerated me and my dad of any wrong
doing. You can get first hand news on this by visiting
http://www.washtimes.com/upi-breaking/20050329-031329-6020r.htm.
Following this good news, I would have since gone back to retrieve the suitcases but I know I am being
watched because of the Oil for Food scandal. This is why I require your assistance. You are to proceed
immediately to Europe with the relevant claim documents which I will provide you with, to retrieve the
suitcases. I have already notified the storage company in writing, of my intention to elect someone that
would be coming on my behalf and it is ok with them. They have simply asked me to arm my elected
person with a consent letter. The cases where logged in as personal effects.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have perfected modalities to take care of the funds once they
arrive your account. Soon after, my attorney would meet with you to sign relevant documentation to
evidence our partnership in a profitable venture we will decide on. You are to get 20% for your troubles.
