Fraud email example:
From: queen asare <queenasare2005@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:58:47 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: CONFIDENTIAL FROM QUEEN.
FROM: Queen & Mady.
CONFIDENTIAL
Dearest One,
I am Queen Asare the only daughter of late former director of finance,Chief Williams solomon of Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.
I must confess my agitation is real,and my words is my bond in this proposal.
My late father diverted this fund acquired from the over estimation of price of purchasing raw materials,now he deposited this money with a security company here in Abidjan ,and he attached a strict clause to the deposit .he made the deposit as family valuables, the security company does not know the real content of the deposit made in a metalic box. I am now residing under political assylum with my younger brother Mady who is 15 years old.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such person at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it is on this note that I am contacting you, all I need is your assistance to retrive this box from the security company to your country.
I am willing to compensate you with 15% of the total money amount, now I am counting on you to help me invest this money in your country,where there is stability of Government, political and economic welfare.All the Money is close to ¨$6m (6mUsd)
Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is risk free.My late father Chief Williams Asare gave his lawyer base in london the original copy of the certificate of deposit issued to him by the security company on the day of deposit,and he called me closer to his bed side before his call to glory(R.I.P)that i should pray to God first, before contacting any foreginer and he warned me strictly that I should avoid relatives with their greedy and evil mind since this is the only legacy we are inheriting from him.
Moreso I & Mady my Younger brother still need to further our Education.We will be counting on you to advice us on suitables Institution & Investments that will be Profitable.
We are expecting to hear from you favourably.
Best regards
Queen and Mady.
