Fraud email example:
From: "agnes" <ag_momohag@canada.com>
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 07:20:22 -1200
Subject: HOW ARE YOU DOING
FROM : AGNES MOMOH.
Freetown-Sierra Leone.
Dear, Good Day.
Please this business proposal is strictly confidential
withdue respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress
youmay have receiving this letter, since we have not known
or met ourselves previously. Despite that reason, please
save us from this situation as I hope that this letter will
not constitute an embarrassment to you.
I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my
situation here and with this, let me introduce myself. I am
Dr. Mrs. AGNES MOMOH (44 yrs.), The wife of the former head
of interim government of Sierra Leone, late Major General
Joseph Momoh who died during the Sierra Leone civil
disturbances. I am constrained to contact you because of the
maltreatment I received from my husband younger
brothers.They planned to take away all my husband treasury
and properties away from me since the unexpected death of my
beloved husband.
Meanwhile I have four lovely children for my husband before
his death (a boy and three girls). My first and only son is
twenty 28 years old and by name Samuel Momoh. I wanted to
escape to the United Sates States with my children but they
conspired together and stole my international passport and
other valuable travelling documents. But luckily they did
not discover where I hid my husband’s documents file where
important documents are kept. So I decided to contact you
confidentially.
They have even closed all my husband bank accounts just to
put me and my beloved children into suffery and starvation.
Now I urgently need an assistance of a reputable and
trustworthy Foreigner like you to help me receive
andsubsequently invest on my children’s behalf the sum of
US$10.000.000.00 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS), which my husband
keptwhich my husband kept in a vault before his death.
It therefore became very necessary and urgent that somebody
in your foreign position should render a helping hand to
safe-guard this fund for me in safe haven over there until
my arrival in your country. It is my intention to compensate
you with 20% of the total money for your services while 5%
will be kept aside for any miscellaneous expenses incurred
by both of us and balance kept for the good of my Children
in respect of some good investments in your country or other
country as you may advice me. The fund cannot be transferred
or moved out through the banks via telegraphic transfer
system because all eyes would be on me. This is the reason
why I decided to contact you. Please all communications
should be through this email address only for confidential
purposes. Giving you my phone number will definitely expose
all the transaction as any of them may eavesdrop to our
confidential conversation.
So the fund being a huge amount of money would require your
help as a reputable businessman who can invest in any
foreign country outside Africa. So to this end, I have
devised a fool-proof method of crossing this cash by
defacing the entire fund to avoid detection, seizure or
diversion. And move this fund outside the country (Sierra
Leone) as a diplomatic luggage with the help of a Courrier
diplomat service-man. He will be ignorant of the actual
content of the luggage and will help to deliver it outside
the country where you go and take careful delivery of the
luggage and arrange the necessary banking formalities after
normalizing the funds. With all the arrangements already put
in place, the consignment will leave the country to a
security company where it will be kept till your arrival
there to take it along with you as mentioned above. As soon
as I receive your positive response
showing your interest I will put things into action
immediately.
In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent
message indicating your ability and willingness to
handlethis transaction sincerely. I will need your private
phone and fax numbers for easy and urgent communications.
This transaction will only take 14 days (two weeks) to
finalise if you will understand and co-operate with me.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Thanking you
inadvance for your understanding and co-operation.
Yours Sincerely,
(Dr.) Mrs. AGNES MOMOH.
