Fraud email example:
From: "Diane Abbott" <diane.abbott@klikni.cz>
Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 21:19:30 +0100
Subject: CAN YOU DO THIS
Dear Friend,
I am Diane Abbott. Elected to the House of commons when I was elected in
the 1987 General Election; representing the London Constituency of
Hackney North and Stoke Newington, I was Britain's first Black woman MP.
Under Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth here in UK , served on the Treasury
Select
Committee of the House of Commons which is a committee that deals with
business and finance matters.
I got your contact info in your country?s national directory. Now, kindly
allow me introduce a project that has to do with charity in your country
and neighboring countries around you.
What is your opinion to an offer to receive charity investment funds in
cash?
The said funds amount to Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars(US) which will be made available to you, in this same state. The
funds are strictly intended for the purpose of the rehabilitation of charity
organizations in your country, through you but will be initiated and
supervised by my lawyer.
This transaction will result to you being paid a commission of 15% of the
investment capital and the balance, distributed to charity organizations
of your choice or reinvested and the net income, used for rehabilitating
charity organization in and around your country through your agency
annually for the period of five years or a little more.
You must understand that I desire absolute confidentiality and
professionalism in the handling of this project. For security reasons as
regards my reputation, I will not be able to communicate regularly with
you; but my lawyer will take up the processing on my behalf and get
these funds processed and released to you without any delay.
I don?t plan on benefiting anything from this project, but will be
absolutely fulfilled, if and only if you will remain sincere to me on the
handling of this project with utmost sincerity and confidentiality; and
eventually utilize the funds for the purpose which I have explained to
you above.
Please respond urgently if you are interested, so I can equip you with the
necessary details, along side my attorney?s contact information, so
as to commence the transaction properly; on the other hand, if you are
not, please let your intentions be known or better still, Kindly relent
from replying this email.
You could get personal info. on me via the Parliament sites or on my
official website, but do not try to contact me via any personal
information you may lay your hands upon on the internet as almost all my
contact info are connected to the British House of Parliament data base
except the ones I personally sent to you; as I don?t want our effort,
jeopardized.
If you receive a version of this email, which claims to be from Diane
Abbott and may mention a "charitable" or "profitable project", ignore
immediately as it is not from me nor anyone connected to me.
Kindly send your response to this E-mail: dianeabbott1980@yahoo.ie Any
message you receive in my name without this email address is not from
me.
Sincerely.
Diane Abbott MP
House of Commons
London
