Fraud email example:
From: "peter malusi" <petmalus@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 13:36:35 +0000
Subject: TRANSFER ASSISTANCE/PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL.
FROM: PETER MALUSI
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
email(pet_malus@yahoo.com)
ATTN:SIR/MADAM.
I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this very
urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter will not embarrass you
since I had no previous correspondence with you.
I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, responsibility and
with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic attention. I regret
the inconvenience it may cause you.
I am PETER MALUSI the son of Dr. SIMON MALUSI, who was murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact from South Africa Chambers of Commerce when I was
searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I
decided to write you, my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of
president Robert Mugabe, for his alleged support and sympathy for the
Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority. Before his
death he had taken to Johannesburg South Africa to deposit the sum of US$
10.5 Million (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with
a Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as valuables to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company.
This money was embarked for the purchase of new machinery and Chemical for
farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land
problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks that vehemently
condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the government. It is against this
background that I and my family who are currently residing in South Africa
as refugees have decided to transfer my Father's money into a foreign
account.
As the eldest son of my Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred and
Invested. More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow
such investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum".
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature
of your business does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, we are
offering you 20% of the total sum, 70% for me and my family while 10% will
be mapped out for any expenses we may incure during this transaction. We
wish to invest our money based on your advice.
Finally, if this proposal is acceptable by you,call me or please confirm
your interest through email.I will give you further directives on what to
do.
Best Regards.
PETER MALUSI. (For the family)
