Funny how they all insist that the victims should be totally honest

FROM HAJIA MARIAM ABACHA
Dear Sir/Madam, Following the sudden death of my husband, General Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country. My son is still under detention arraigned before the federal high court of Nigeria for an offence he did not commit.
As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail. In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium. I will give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of $28.6 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Mustapha alone, so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being. I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all possible, just help me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund . Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things.
In case you dont accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence. I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action. Please contact me through my alternative email: mariamabc22@katamail.com Sincerely yours, Hajia Mariam Abacha
If you look closely at all these lottery e-mails, you recognise that they are all the same. Considering the ammount of this type of scam being sent out and reported on, it is surprising that people are still losing money on this.
Most of the victims who report their losses to us come from regions such as India or the Phillipines. We have recognised the fact that these criminals do not have any qualms in taking people’s money, who may only earn a few hundred dollars a month.
For these people 800 dollars could be 2 or 3 months earnings! It’s bad, regardless how you look at it.

Greetings,
I am Mrs. Rosaline Holstein I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old; 2 years ago I was diagnosed for cancer, immediately after the death of my husband Mr. Gregory Ray Holstein, who has left me everything he worked for while in America.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than one hour.
I decided to WILL/donate an amount that will be disclosed to you later for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my representative is aware I have changed my will and he will arrange the transfer of the funds to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.
Contact my representative who is in person of Mr. Mark Johnson with this specified email; infomarkjohnson@netscape.net and inform him that I have briefed you about the Will and he will inform you of the amount I am willing to you for the good work. I know I dont know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don’t want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.
