Fraud email example:
From: simon_wong_1m@comcast.net
Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:47:20 +0000
Subject: hello
From: Mr simon wong
Hang Seng Bank Limited
83 Des Voeux Road, Central
Hong Kong SAR
Good Day ,
I'm Mr.simon wong, I work with the Hang Seng Bank here in Hong
Kong. Although the internet is a very hard place to meet
people because you don't know who to trust, what to believe
and what not to,I have an obscured business suggestion for
you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel Sadiq Uday who
was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman, made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Thirty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
only in my branch.Upon maturity several notices was sent to
him,even during the war which began in 2003.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later found out that the Colonel
along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during
the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that
Colonel Sadiq Uday 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,
Thirty millions 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 laws of my
country at the expiration 5 years 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 Colonel Sadiq Uday so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful.I have an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the
next of kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday, 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 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 of probate in your favour for the move
of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this 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 then share in the ratio of 70% for me,
30% for you.
If you are interested you can reach me on my private email:
Address simonwong111@myway.com with the following details
bellow:
1,Full names,
2,private phone number,
3,current residential 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.simon wong.
