1. From Victor Yagba
Private and Confidential
Abidjan - Côte d'Ivoire.
My Dearest One,
It
is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my
junoir sister,intend to establish in your country. Though I have not
met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in someone
to succeed sometimes in life. I am Victor Yagba, the only son of late
Chief Fredrick Yagba, from Sierra Leone in west africa. My sources of
your contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on you.
There
is this amount of FIFTEEN Million US Dollars ($15.000.000.00) which my
late father deposited with a BANK in Abidjan Capital city of Cote
d'Ivoire which he wanted to used for his political ambition in our
Country before he was assassinated. Now I and my junior sister have
decided to invest this money in your country or anywhere safe enough
outside Africa for security and political reasons.
We want
you to help us claim and receive this money which will be transferred
to your safe bank account avoid any traces of the funds and to enable
you plan for the investment in your Country. I will like to invest part
of the money into these three investments in your Country but, if there
is any other business that is better than my suggestion, I will be very
glad to follow your advice.
1). Real estate
2). The transport industry
3). Five star hotel
If
you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you
20% Of the total fund while the balance will be invested by you. I
await your soonest response.
Respectfully yours,
Victor yagba

My Dear Friend,
I hope this may not constitute sort of embarrassment to you. My name is Mr. Michael Yusuf,
I am the regional Branch bank manager of the Micro-Finance Bank Ghana
Ltd. I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a
trust worthy person to partner this huge transfer project with. I am a
Ghanaian married with two kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance
in the transfer of $ 7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States dollars ), i have crafted out of our banks profit books
and records.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which
i am the manager of the audit and records department made as profit
during the 2006 financial year. I have already submitted annual report
for that year to our head office and i can assure you they do not know
and will never know of this excess.I have since,lodged this amount of $
7,500,000 Million United States dollars into a suspense Coded account
without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace.
As
an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money
thus I am compelled to request for your assistance to receive this
money into your bank account on my behalf. I intend to part 30% of this
fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I need to stress that there are
practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a legal
bank-to-bank transfer or a cash delivery arrangement.
To make this a reality, i need you to
stand as the original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be
transferred to your nominated account. If you accept this offer, I will
appreciate your urgent response and endeavour to reply me through
my confidential email address: michael.yusuf82@hotmail.com
as to explain details , modalities and most importantly,for us to
exchange personal contacts inorder to establish voice contacts.

5. FROM MRS AGNES ADAMS AND KID PLEASE LET ALL YOUR CORRESPONDENCE BE ON MY PERSONAL AND ONLY EMAIL
ACCOUNT
agnesfamilylegacy127000@yahoo.com.hk Dear Beloved Friend This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due
respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress may have receiving this
letter from me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously.
Despite that,I am constrained to write you this letter because of the
urgency of it.By way of self introduction, I am Mrs.Agnes Adams, the
wife of late Brigadier - Gen.Zamani Adams former ECOMOG ARMY COMMANDER
West African peacekeeping force in Liberia who died in the Liberia
civil disturbance [War]. My daughter and I is trapped in obnoxious
custom and traditional norms. We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my
late husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir
apparent] for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband
had, [wealth] belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is to be
remarried by his immediate younger brother which I
vehemently refused. They have taken all that I suffered with my husband
to acquire including treasures, houses and his bank particular seized
by them. I wanted to escape to your country with my only child on exile, but
again they conspired and stole my international passport and other
traveling document to further frustrate me. Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a SECURITY COMPANY
IN ABROAD
that my late husband deposited U.S $9.5 Million cash
with this SECURITY COMPANY IN ABROAD. It has therefore, become very
necessary and
urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure
these funds overseas in a reliable bank Account (presumably an empty
Bank Account, if available) and to help invest it on our behalf as
well,while we find a way of getting out to meet with you in your country. These funds are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE"with the SECURITY
COMPANY IN ABROAD to avoid detection, seizure or diversion. Ihave had several telephone discussions with the Director of the
SECURITY COMPANY IN ABROAD , who has express willingness to help me on
meeting the company's demands. This is why I have contacted you to help save me and my only child to
receive these funds on our behalf. But, you would need to give me
sufficient assurance that if you help me, you would not divert the funds.
Me and my child have resolved to give you 30% of the total sum and 10%
set aside for any expenses that occure by you will be refunded back
to you. For this is all me and my child have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not
disappoint me. I look forward to your urgent response, including your full
mailling address indicate your private phone / mobile numbers and
also your fax number for easier communication. Please note that this project is 100% risk free but you must keep it
very secret and confidential with strong assurance that you will not
let me down at all.
NB: The secret codes and the Pin Number for this fund are safely kept
with me which I can give you as soon as you express desire to help
me. Stay blessed. MRS AGNES ADAMS PLEASE LET ALL YOUR CORRESPONDENCE BE ON MY PERSONAL AND ONLY EMAIL

Dear Friend,
I am so pleased that you have accepted to work with me as a partner in this project.
Now
all we are to do for a start is making sure we follow due process in
order to have our interest been taken care of, in doing so I have to
register a company in your names here in Ghana and back date the
registration date to suit the date in which the original contract was
awarded as it is clearly stated in the constitution of Republic Of
Ghana of 1972 section 4 article 336B- F Paragraph 7 page 56 as amended
in 1986 of the same constitution section 28 Article 19A-E paragraphs 2
and 3, which states clearly that for any individual or organization to
be awarded a contract under any category with the Government of
Republic of Ghana such individual or organization most undergo the
process of company registration with corporate affair commission of Ghana before it can be said that such company is either
fit or not capable of handling/execute a contract with the Government
of Republic of Ghana.
Haven't said the above I will advise we
have a company register in your names in order to back our claim.
Attached is a company registration form, please kindly complete it and
attach back to me for onward submission to the corporate affair
commission of Ghana for processing and have the registration date back
dated like I mentioned above.
Do not worry about the
registration fee I will take care of that, all you need to do is just
to complete the form and re-attach it back to me so as to proceed and
give you further advice. Note, when filling the form ignore the lines you don't understand on the form I will see to that myself during processing.
I await your urgent response.
