"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: LETTER OF BUSINESS PROPOSAL FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER TO Bixnfleisch


Good Day Bixnfleisch,

I know this request may be a surprise to you, mostly on how I got your esteemed contact, for I do not intend to surprise you because I got your contact from chamber of commerce and be informed that I need a reliable and honest individual who will understand my feelings and what I am going through now in this world .

My names are Miss Mary Cynthia Sata. I am 18 years old and i am the adopted daughter of the former president of Zambia, late President Sata Nguvu Michael, who was buried on Tuesday 10th of November 2014, May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace Amen.

Because of the love my father late Michael Sata has for the orphans and the less privileges, I was adopted by him on 23 September 2011 on his swearing in ceremony. I performed and sang as one of the Orphan who graced the occasion.That day was the happiest day of my life because my father the late president Michael announced to the gathering that from that day onwards that he will be my father and i will be his Daughter and that everything I wish in life will be given to me .


Three months before his sudden death,(the shocked day of my life) ,Late President Michael Sata ,( my father) secretly told me in his office that he has business partners in (Asia, Europe ,America , Middle East , Oceania , and Caribbean),He also told me that he deposited the sum of 23 Million US Dollars and 300KG of Gold Dust in a safe with a private security company here in Nairobi Kenya under my name and gave me the security details and the documents of the money.



According to him, he told me that he does not want me to suffer in this life and that with this money I can live, establish and settle down in any place of my choice in this world.

He Further told me that these funds were realized from the sales of Gold Dust that he transacted with the president of South Sudan His excellency Salva kiir Mayardit through his In-law who was the minister of Mines & Trade in Zambia on behalf of myself.

The minister, has no access to this fund as the fund could not be traced to him or any of his relative and he does not have the contact details of the security company and where the funds and Gold is being deposited.

Please I want you to stand on my behalf as my late father Business associate, to the security company where the consignment is been deposited. Based on this, the minister has been running after my life as he wants to know where my father the late president Michael Sata deposited the money before his death. The mother General of the ( House Of Faith Orphanage Home ) advised me to leave the country, and that is why I left Zambia to one of the orphanage home in Kenya where mother General and the Rev Father Emmanuel Ukalu directed me to go, and that is where I am staying right now for security reasons.

Please note that I did not tell you the name of the orphanage home in Kenya here where I stay now due to security reasons, I was reliably informed that the minister has concluded arrangement to get me kidnapped after the burial of Mr. President late Michael Nguvu Sata , my father to enable him get the details of where those boxes are kept. Hope you understand?

The reason why I am contacting you is that I want to claim the funds and Gold as consignment from the security company as the right beneficiary, and you shall act and present yourself as my Late father Foreign business partner who will receive the consignment on my behalf in your country.

I also want you to know that the security company does not know the real content of the boxes because my father only told them that the boxes contains Gold and Diamond and the boxes are well sealed so they don't know about the money in the box aswell . The money shall remain in your custody till my arrival in your country.

The funds can be transferred to your Account Bank to Bank in any of the above country that i have mentioned which my father used to run his business as I am still interested in doing business in these countries. Meanwhile the money can be invested into any risk-free profitable ventures and there shall be an agreement to protect my interest. I have all the Documentation that will enable you claim the consignment from the security firm.

I need you to also send me your permanent Home Address, Telephone Numbers as well as any form of your Identifications. And for your reliable assistance, I will reward you with just only 30% of the total money and the investment process 40% for me, and 30% shall be for the House Of Faith Orphanage Home and other orphanage home in Zambia.


I thank you in advance in anticipation for your assistance to enable me achieve my goal in life .

Please the nature of your business does not necessarily matter and i like you to kindly contact me directly if you are interested in assisting me to pursue this great cause .You can contact me directly with this phone number +254711232529 OR Email me on momohkatanga.sata@gmail.com
