Fraud email example:
From: "MR JOHN OLEMBE" <johnbufman@yahoo.gr>
Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:29:24 +0300
Subject: OLEMBE - BUSINESS FOR US
CAPITEC BANK LTD.
ROODEPOORT BRANCH,
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
Private Email: johnolembe06@yahoo.gr
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.John Olembe officer of
Capitec Bank Ltd.I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client
Mr. kahal mMoffamad who was an Iraqi Business Man and also
Deals On Arms With The South African Government made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of Fourteen Million five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars only($14.5m) in my branch. Upon maturity several notices
were sent to him, even during the war, again after the war several
notifications were sent and still no response came from him.
We later found out that the Mr.Kahal and his family had
been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home in Iraq.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Kahal
Mohhamad 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 the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, Nine million Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars 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 to the laws
of my country at the expiration three years the funds will revert to the
ownership of the South African 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 Mr. Kahal Mohhamad so that
you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of
kin to Mr. Hassian Hussein, all that is required from you at this
stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so
that the attorney handling the Title documents can commence
his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney
will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary
approval and letter of probate/Administration in your favor for
the movement 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 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% for any expenses incurred during the course of this
Transaction. Should you be interested please send me your private phone
and fax numbers for easy communication, you can write me via my
private email address and i will provide you with more details of
this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kindly send your reply to:

Kind Regards,
Mr.John Olembe.
