Fraud email example:
From: (sent from abused email account)
Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2008 02:28:57 -1200
Subject: Email from Smith Kabila.
FROM: SMITH KABILA.
BUJIBORAN REFUGEE CAMP,
WEST AFRICA , ACCRA GHANA.
May the peace of the almighty lord be with you as you read
and understand this email, and respond to me at once?
Please permit me the time and chance to introduce myself to
you. I am Smith Kabila, the son of late Dr. Patrick Kabila,
who is murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE. I got your
contact during my search for reliable competent foreigner to
handle a confidential financial transaction that is why I
decided to write you.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling
government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged
support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before
the death of my father, he took me to Accra Ghana to deposit
the sum of Twenty Four Million US Dollars (US$24, 000, 000)
with a security and finance company, as if he knew the
looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited as a gem/precious stone to avoid
much demur rage from the security firm. This money was
earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals
for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho
and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President ROBERT MUGABE
introduced a new land Act. Which wholly affects the white
rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the
'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to
rampant killing and mob actions.
I am scared of investing the money here in Africa, because
of what has happened to my father, so I decided to transfer
the money to a foreign country where I can invest it and
leave a better life. But I am presently staying at the
refugee camp here in Ghana.
You can as well read more about the crises in my country and
about this situation on the following site:

Now, I have succeeded in taking the 2 boxes of money from
the security company here in Ghana, but presently the two
boxes are with a diplomatic delivery officer over there in
your country International Airport.
The boxes left Ghana 3 weeks ago to be delivered to my late
Fathers friend in your country who assisted us in claiming
the boxes out from the security company, only for the
diplomat to get there and find out that my late fathers
friends died in a ghastly car accident.
I am begging for your assistance to help me stand as my new
foreign beneficiary to receive the boxes for me. Our plan is
for my late father friend to help us invest the money in any
good business and also to help me come over to continue my
education in your country.
So if you are willing to assist me receive the boxes from
the delivering man over there, I will give you 30% of the
money, and then while you help me invest the other 70% in
any good business in my name.
I am anxiously waiting to hear from you so that we can
discuss more. Please write back with your full name,
residential address and personal telephone number so that I
can reach you for fast communication.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Best Regard,
Smith Kabila.
