Greetings to you and your family,

I choose to reach you today by email because it is the fastest and most secured means of communication available to me right now. However,this correspondence is un-official and private,and should be treated with confidentiality.

I am Mr.Daniel Gerard,a senior account manager with Shanghai Commercial Bank,London branch; I am contacting you based on trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this transaction.

The Management and the Legal department of my Bank in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of one of my late client CANTOR FITZGERALD,who was one of my branch depositors,if yet unclaimed by next month should be declared dormant and sent to the Bank’s Treasury according to our Banking and financial law.

My late client CANTOR FITZGERALD,died in world trade centre september 11,2001 incident that befell the United State of America, ever since the incident the bank has made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this money but without success, you can confirm through this site:
http://www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/victims_list.htm

CANTOR FITZGERALD is a national of your country and worked as an expertriate with an oil firm here,he is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the sum of US$6,200,000.00 (Six Million, two hundred thousand United States Dollars only) deposited in a fixed deposit account with my branch .In fact, since his death, no next of kin of the Dollar account holder(the brother) nor any relative of his has shown up to claim his money because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the documents for the deposit with me.

I am fully convinced that no one will come forward to claim the funds before the given period,this is where I am interested and why I want to present you as the relation of the deceased,I will use my position here in the bank and give you the relevant documents and contacts to file the application and then effect the approvals for the transfer of the money to your nominated bank account, I will be the one to provide the vital documents for the claims of the money and then advise you exactly how we should handle it.

Please include your Private Telephone/Fax Number/Contact Address when replying this mail and I will give you more information as soon as you indicate your willingness to assist in this transaction.

Do not be bothered that you are not related in any way to to my late client as I am in position to afix your name as the next of kin.

The whole Procedures will last only 7 working days to get the fund retrieved successfully.After the transfer of the money we shall share the money 60-40,that is I will have 60% while you will have 40%.

I await your urgent response to this mail.Reply to my Private E-mail: daniel_gerard@latinmail.com
Yours truly,
Mr.Daniel Gerard

The Andreas Schranner story has been around some years now. This e-mail is unusual in that it has both German and English versions in one e-mail.

Believe it or not, the translation is better than a lot of German translations which I have received in the past.

Sehr geehter ,

Mein Name ist Chris Nissen ich bin der Leiter in der Standard Bank Plc in Südafrika. Zur Zeit halte ich mich in den Niederlanden zu einer Fortbildung auf. Ich kontaktiere Sie bezüglich des Transfers einer sehr großen Summe Geldes vom Konto eines Verstorbenen. Ich weiß, daß eine Transaktion dieser Größenordnung zunächst bei jedem Besorgnis erregen wird und versichere ich Ihnen, daß sich um alles gekümmert wird.Aufgrund der Dringlichkeit der Angelegenheit habe ich mich entschlossen, Sie zu kontaktieren.

Es geht um folgendes:
Einer meiner Kollegen ist für das Konto von Herr.Andreas Schranner zuständig, der gemeinsam mit seiner Frau im Oktober bei auszahlen, bevor jemand als Angehöriger und Erbe auftritt und seinen Anspruch geltend macht.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Aufgrund dieser Entdeckung und der Übereinstimmung Ihres Namens mit dem des Verstorbenen bitten meine Kollegen und ich Sie nun um Ihre Erlaubnis, Sie als nächsten Angehörigen des Verstorbenen anzugeben. Die gesamte Abwicklung und Dokumentation wird sorgfältig von mir durchgeführt, damit das Guthaben von 10.5 Millionen US$ an Sie als nächsten Angehörigen ausgezahlt werden kann.

Andernfalls wird die gesamte Summe nach fünf Jahren in das Eigentum der Bank übergehen und die Direktoren der Bank werden sie untereinander aufteilen. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache habe ich mich entschlossen, mich an Sie zu wenden, damit Sie als Erbe auftreten können und nicht alles den Direktoren zugute kommt. Da aber die Person, die im Testament als Erbin genannt wird, mit ihm gemeinsam verstorben ist, haben wir vom Nachlaßverwalter den Auftrag bekommen, ein Familienmitglied des Verstorbenen ausfindig zu machen, daß das Erbe antreten kann.

Wir bitten Sie, unseren Vorschlag anzunehmen und versichern Ihnen, daß alles absolut risikofrei für Sie ablaufen wird.

Wir werden Sie mit 25% an der Transaktion beteiligen, den restlichen Betrag werden meine Kollegen und ich für. Falls Sie interessiert sind, schicken Sie mir bitte folgende Angaben:

1. Name/Firmen name um die erforderlichen Dokumente vorzubereitenp
2. Persönliche Telefon-, Fax-Nummern

Damit ich Ihnen die weiteren relevanten Details in dieser Sache mitteilen kann. Vielen Dank im voraus.

Wir bitten sie eindringlich, die Angelegenheit vertraulich zu behandeln.
Bitte antworten Sie mir schnellstmöglich und Gott segne sie.

Mit freundlichen grussen.
Chris Nissen:-

Dear sir/madam,

My Name is CHRIS NISSEN. A credit officer with one of the leading Bank in Republic of South Africa, I am presently in Europe to monitor the transfer and safe keeping of our late foreign customers Funds ”LATE.MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER” from GERMANY. I and My colleague was the personal account officer to our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in
July 2000 in a plane crash leaving behind a total sum of (USD10.5MILLION) in our Bank.

Details of the tragedy can be found in this page below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Since we got information about his death, I have been expecting his Next of kin to come over and claim his ”Funds” because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as (i) next of kin, (ii) relation, (iii) Appointed beneficiary to the Deceased as indicated in our guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the Apex bank treasury as unclaimed bills. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transferred into the Apex bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigene cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. Your percentage will be declared to you as soon as you indicate your interest.

Therefore, to enable the immediate claims of this fund by you in line with our perfected modality; you must apply first as relation or next of kin of the deceased.

Please kindly indicate the following in your response:
1. Your full name and address
2. Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3. Your company’s name and address.

I want you to note that all I need from you is your honesty, trustworthiness and commitment in executing this mutual business transaction.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will contact you to give more details. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk free.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

Yours Faithfully,

Chris Nissen.

Note: I am disposed to entertain any question (s) from you with respect to this transaction, please treat with the strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency, for confidentiality reasons and to avoid exposure, please direct your reply to my private email chrisnissen_001@fsmail.net

Greetings in the name of God. Please let this not sound strange to you.I
am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the brian which affected
my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it
is quite obvious that according to my doctors they have advised me that I
may not live for the next six months, this is because the cancer stage has
gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless baby’s
home, married to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My
husband died in a fatal motor accident. Before his death we were true
Christians.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited the sum of US$18.3 million dollars with a
Security Company. Presently this money is still with them and the
management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the
money or issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf since I can not come over because of my illness. Presently I’m with
my lap top in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer
of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have
told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see
that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and
distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the
motherless baby’s home where I come from. I want you God fearing to
also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows.

If you are interested, please contact my Late Husband’s Lawyer Barr.
Anthony Michy on email: drmichy001@gmail.com with the bellow informations.
Then he will give you the contact of the Finance House, and will also
issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary
of this fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.

Now this one is a bit confusing. They say I have won in the Global Mega Lottery but have UK National Lottery in the footnote.

The message is from Adam Smith in London, but I will be contacted by a South African agent?

Don’t these people know you never trust an "African" bearing tidings of a Lottery Prize?

It looks as though the "son of a Zimbabwe farmer" deal is still being used. The question is how well does it convert to cash. I would say, not half as good as the lottery mails.

My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s supporters invaded my father’s farm ,burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days.And after his death, My mother and I with my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.

ATTN: Dear,

It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your help in the context below. I am Mr. Claudio Kabila, the second son of the late Laurent Kabila Former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C) whose sudden death occurred in January 2001.

All this because we are from a polygamous family. The investigation team has submitted their report, presently some cash andassets have been seized.

Fortunately, I managed to escape from the country,and with the help of our lawyer, I am presently living as a refugee here until I succeed in the transaction and due to the situation of things our lawyer has strictly advised that the willed money be urgently mved into an over-seas account of a trusted Foreign family friend without delay for security reasons. I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this call (SOS) to save my entire family and me froma hopeless future.

I hereby agree to compensate your sincere effort in this regard with 20% of the fund, when finally received in your local Bank account. The attorneyhere has perfected arrangements with the Bankers to effect complete dislodgment of this money within a week of the receipt of your response through telephone and fax.

(patrickchan_hk33@yahoo.com.hk)

Dear Friend,

Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr.Patrick Chan Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a secured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty million United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the war early this year.Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Col.Hosam Hassan and his famil y had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Col. Hosam Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So, Thirty million United State Dollar is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col. Hosam Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:

I want you to know that I have had e verything planned out so that weshall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Col.Hosam Hassan , all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.

Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for y ou, Should you be interested please send me informations below,
1. Full names
2. Private phone number
3. Current residential address.

If interested i will prefer you reach me on my private email address below:

Dear Friend,

I am Captain Craig Wieslaw of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace –keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. On the 10th day of August 2006, we were alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from Karbala here in Iraq. After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7) injured.

In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for late Ayman al-Zawahiri and took us to a cave in Karbala which served as their camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons, one filled with hard drugs(cocaine) and the other four to my amazement contain some US Dollars amounting to $15M after I and two of my junior intelligent officers counted them. I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy.

I am in keen need of a “Reliable and Trustworthy” person like you who would receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars for me up on till my assignment elapses in here in Iraq. I assure and promise to give you 20% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this business..

Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission. You can contact me via this
