Fraud email example:
From: Jan Rudolf <mrrudolf@mynet.com>
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 02:29:06 +0100
Subject: LETTER TO YOU
I hope this letter finds you well.
While this email will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, please take a moment of your time to read
this. It is very important. I am Dr. Steinhauser Jan Rudolf, working in a bank in The Netherlands.However
I got your address through the International web directory online.
The fact is, one of our foreign customer DR. ALHAJI. ASHARY IBRAHIM ABDULHAMEED from Saudi
Arabia who made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$45,800,000.00 (Forty Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) only in our bank.
Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Petroleum and Mineral
Resources Saudi Arabia that DR. ALHAJI. ASHARY IBRAHIM ABDULHAMEED died from an
automobile accident. On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that DR. ALHAJI. ASHARY IBRAHIM
ABDULHAMEED did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$45.8 Million is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each month. No one will ever come forward to claim
it. According to Laws of this Bank, at the expiration of 5(Five) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Netherlands Government if nobody applies to claim the Fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the Next of Kin to DR.
ALHAJI. ASHARY IBRAHIM ABDULHAMEED so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the
hands of some corrupts Government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide me immediately your
FULL NAMES, TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS and ADDRESS so that my attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in Place as the next of kin. We shall discuss the
percentage of sharing in your response.
The request for a foreigner as Next of Kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and a citizen here cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I therefore solicit for your
assistance to come forward as the next of kin in this business. So if you are interested I advice you to
write me your plan and send me your detains through my private email below in order for me to send you
the whole arrangement about this transaction. Hope to get your understanding, trust and capability of
handling this transaction.
Thanks for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Steinhauser Jan Rudolf
