Fraud email example:
From: Ali-Bongo Felicia <felicia_a_b12@yahoo.co.in>
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 10:40:11 +0100 (BST)
Subject: Assistant needed urgently.
Attn : Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Felicia Ali-Bongo Wing from Holland. I am married to Dr. Omar Ali-Bongo Wing of united state who worked with Chevron Texaco as oil consultant/contractor
in Africa for twenty years before he died in the year 2005.We were married
for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in
the Niger delta region. He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting
youths of the region. Since his death I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at $5m.usd (Five Million U.S. Dollars) with account number 0130648335800. With a financial firm in South Africa.
Meanwhile, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a
letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not
come over. Presently, I am with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is
invested and proceed at the end of every year distributed among charity
organization. I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money
to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained. I am made to understand that
blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I know that
there are a lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and
nobody to come to their aid.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the financial firm. I will also issue you a letter
of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.
You are to help me invest this fund into real estate and stocks. You will be
entitled to 30% of every profit you make in a year. Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated here in.on your reply i will forward you my attorney contacts details he will be in good position to help and give you all the entire document that will covers this transaction.Following your involvement,we will part with the percentage as follows,30% for you,10% set aside to defray the whole expenses,while the balance of 70% will be for the investment of charity and non governmental organisations.
In your response to me, please include your telephone and fax number and
also your mailing address.
