Fraud email example:
From: Tan Wong <tanwongtg@yahoo.com.hk>
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 00:13:05 +0200
Subject: From Tan Wong(Business Proposal)
FROM: Tan Wong
(tanwongtg@yahoo.com.hk)
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Tan Wong director of operations of the
Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem who was with the Iraqi
forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months,
with a value of Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the
war . Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him.We later found out that the Major and his family had been killed during
the war in bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also
discovered that Major Fadi Basem did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me as
his persoanal bank the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of
his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollar($24,500,000,00) is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward
to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at
the expiration 6years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my
suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of
kin to Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his funds and be shared
between us.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out
successful.Immediately i am sure of your interest,I will contact my attorney to
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Major
Fadi Basem.All that is required of you at this stage is for you to provide me with
your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.After you
have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your
behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for
the release and move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There
is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor
to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds
have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of
65% for me, 30% for you and 5% will be for any expenses incurred by any party
during the process of the transfer. Should you be interested,please send me your
full names and current residential address and I will prefer you to reach me on
this email address(tanwongtg@yahoo.com.hk) which is my private email address and
finally after that i shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Tan Wong
