Fraud email example:
From: "john kennedy" <fcacx@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 00:11:04 +0000
Subject: Sincere Offer.
Greetings!
This letter is strictly personal, intimate and confidential. Forgive
this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of
exceptional and very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a
great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email,
coupled with the fact that, so many miscreants have taken possession of
the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it
extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate business class persons
to get attention and recognition. There is no way for me to know
whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and
reach out to you. For I know that you are the only one that can be
trusted to handle this project effectively without making us regret.
I head a four-man committee on debt reconciliation supported by the
EURO-DOLLAR-ECO FUNDS SYNDICATION within the ECOWAS region. In recent
past, we have carefully arranged a contract with a foreign firm, in
which the cost was over-invoiced deliberately to favor us. We presently
want a foreign partner
preferably in Europe, Asia, America and the Pacific who can assist us
in getting the funds transferred to a nominated bank account to be
arranged or provided by him.
The amount we are about transferring is totaled at US$13,731 million.
Also, there is the need for you to know that, we shall be sending you
upon commencement, about $6000-$10,00 that will be used in taking care
of some
expenses, as well as settling some taxes here, which you shall handle
personally., so there are absolutely no bills to be paid by you in the
course of the transfer. Note however that it is only on the condition
that you have
an account domiciled in the United States or in the UK, that is when we
shall make the funds available to you. Our financier is only prepared
to release funds to the US & UK only. But if you are outside these
regions, we will have
to talk further. You will certainly ask yourself how consequential this
letter is. Indeed, is it not surprising to receive such a letter
seeking immediate assistance? This is why today I am making you a
non-binding, unrestricted
offer, to bring us close into mutual understanding and cooperation now,
and in the near future.
Trust is definitely the most noble trait in the world, and I urge you
to trust my sincerity and the word of a simple and humble person of
faith, who in the name of love for her equals is willing to accomplish
the task of doing
business with a trusted and transparent person. It is up to you to
decide whether this letter deserves your trust and confidentiality. And
if indeed it does, send me the following:
1. Your letter of consent.
2. Your mailing and contact address.
3. Your telephone numbers.
Upon receipt of the above, I shall communicate with you, and let you
know the details of the transfer. Whatever your actions and your
decision, I thank you for taking the time to read my email.
Best personal regards.
David Sampson.
