Fraud email example:
From: "Dr Smith Ramaphosa" <ratydaniels@walla.com>
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 08:34:24 -1200
Subject: Regards
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Dr Raty Daniels, the manager of a prime bank in
Africa.I do not know you and you do not know me but
for reasons which will become obvious to you as you
read on, I obtained Your email address from an
Internet address listing hoping and Believing God that
you will be trustworthy, reliable and willing to
assist Me. PleaseSir, exercise some patience while you
read through my message. I have a very urgent and
confidential business proposition for you. On June 6th
1999, an Engineer/Consultant/Contractor with a big and
Influential Multi national Oil Company and a foreigner
here made a time deposit in a bank Which I am
presently the Manager. He did not declare any next of
kin in his application paper. The money is very big
and no one knows the source of this money because
apparently the time frame of his employment with the
company here in Africa does indeed preclude such a
large amount of money.It can be assumed that he
brought his money over from his country or previous
place of work but that is open to speculation.
However,the point is that he is dead and his employers
are not aware Of this money,and therefore it can be
safely assumed that no one will ever come forward to
claim this money, he died in 2002. The total sum
(inclusive of accrued interests) is stillsitting in my
Bank in the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one will
ever come forward to claim it now or in the future and
according to our banking laws, after 5 years, the
money will automatically revert to the Federal
Government Treasury if the Account owner is a
foreigner and is certified dead but with you a
foreigner applying for the transfer of this fund to
your nominated account anywhere in the world and all
documents backing the transfer legally secured and
there is certification that the funds being
transferred are from non-criminal sources we will have
no problems. In
short this will be a proper and legal money transfer
and there will be no related risk!
We will have to process the initial paperwork to
obtain approval from the Probate Registry (Ministry of
Justice) and obtain the Letter of Administration
empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the
deceased Estate after which I will use my position and
influence in the bank to effect speedy onward
transferof this money from our bank to your nominated
account. If you therefore agree to be the official
Beneficiary, then please note that you will be
required to avail me with a bank account (a bank
account with zero Credit Balance is ok). Your address,
phone and fax,full name and brief background
information on you (CV). As soon as I receive a
positive response on your willingness to assist me
then I will initiate the processing of the transfer
and in about 7 working days the money will be in your
nominated bank account for us to share in the ratio of
50% for me and 50% for you.
This transaction is guaranteed to success without any
problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me the
above requested Information, I will give you my
complete address, including phone/ fax etc and any
further clarifications you
may require.I will stop here untill i hear from you.
Looking forward to your urgent eply.
Regards,
Dr Raty Daniels.
