Auditing And Accounting Manager,
Dear Friend,
Everything that happens to one has spiritual significance. I was just leafing through the profiles of some names in the internet before I came through your name. Though, the internet has been grossly abused by scam artist and miscreants whose intention is to hurt. In as much as one should be careful, same time we should not allow negative to kill the positive potential in a realistic business. I have chosen to reach you because I felt that business is taking risk, going from the known to the unknown.
I am the manager of Accounts / Operations Department of our bank here in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of ( US$16.5,million US dollars ) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer retired Atlanta physician Mr.George Brumley Jr,who die in Kenya Airways crash in the coasts of Abidjan in which all passengers on board died. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but has been unsuccessful.
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings 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 bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Ivoirienne cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 50 % of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account, While 50% will be for me Thereafter,
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. In your reply mail, I want you to give me your full names, address, date of birth, telephone and fax numbers. If you can handle this with me,
Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation
Best Regards,

On this note I decided to search for a credible person to present as the Next of Kin to his Estate. I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the “trustee” Bank as my late client’s surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my late client.Upon receipt of Your consent,an Agreement shall be reached between us concerning the modality for sharing of the Funds.

Thanks Jose,

George Brumley was actually an acquaintance of mine, and a very fine man.
It more than annoys me to see his name used by these weasels to try to
cheat people, as he apparently spent much of his life doing good
anonymously. Is there any recourse we have to possibly help bring these
people to some account?
Roy,
I can imagine how you feel. It is surely hard to see a friend’s name being used for such blatant and fraudulent deeds.
As far as putting these criminals in jail is concerned, it is hard to actually get hold of them. Usually they are in countries, where corruption is a part of daily life and the police are poorly paid. The police usually play a large part of the corruption in their countries. As such, there is no real investigation into or even interest in stopping this kind of crime.
To be honest, in Nigeria “chopping the dolla” seems to be a national sport. There have been songs and videos made and published, showing what they think of us “Mugus”.
Apart from that, there is no international cooperation of investigative or police forces, to enable the capture of the crooks. So they can do their work with practically no risk.
But looking at us “civilised Westerners” and the amount of corruption which is present in our countries, I don’t think we are much of an positive example for the “boys from Africa”.
So my conclusion is, there will be a lot more people who will fall for the fairy tales from Africa. Unfortunately.
Michael

Bank.
B .Sarkar, Bhopal India
Sarkar,
many thanks for your note. Everybody seems to forget that there are money laundering laws in most countries and take these kind of messages at face value, thinking they are going to get a pile of money. It never happens! You get the honour of sending the crooks some instead.
Michael
I get these e-mails everyday. That means they must be working because they wouldn’t keep sending them if they didn’t. My question is, how does anyone buy this load of crap? You can see it coming a mile away.
Looks like Allah is in on it now too!
I do feel sorry for anyone who knows the Brumley’s if the web site is true, all the good work he has ever done for the country has been thrown back in his face by the people he was helping. I just hope the fraudsters get a taste of their own medicine……
Dear Friend,
Welcome this letter in the name of Almighty Allah
I am Mr.Salisu Sokora , the director of the account & auditing dept, at the BANK OF AFRICAN (B.O.A) Ouagadougou Burkina Faso West Africa. With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank’s last account/auditing evaluations, I came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt died on a plan crash with his entire family his wife and his only child on 21th july. 2003. Since the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client. since his demise,
Nobody, not even the members of his family have applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that. it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the dept, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. With the few personnel in my dept, I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too. The total amount in the accounts is eighteen million dollars (USD 18,000,000.00). with our positions as a staff of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. while contemplating on what to do,
And I decided to ask you for help to transfer this money out of the country to your account in your country .the client is a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin or business partner. I will supply you with all necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred to.I have decided to give away forty %( 40%) to you for your assistance and ten (10%) for any expenses that might arise during the transaction of this transfer. I want to assure you that this transaction is absolutely 100% guarantee since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.
I will please wish you keep this transaction secret as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safely in your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing of the money according to the previous agreed percentage. You might even have to advise us on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May Allah help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen. Please for further information and enquiries feel free to contact me through my private email address for oral discussion. Do not hesitate to furnish me with your private telephone line for easy and effective communication. I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed. Bellow is my resident contact address and my telephone number

what happens here when the poor email receipient replies to them with his contact details?
Toni,
this has nothing to do with money laundering. It is just a method of fraud which is very successful.
Michael
Usually, they are strung along up to a point where the crooks say there is a fee due. For lawyers, taxes, whatever. It is these payments for fake fees which they are after.
Michael
This is very annoying and we must find a way to address the issue other than the hard lesson of the desire for wealth many of us have. Greed, though we know its sinful and not healthy, we think we see an opportunity and there you are…..”a fool and their money is soon departed.”
Reverend Patrick,
it is all a question of common sense. For example, why should somebody give me so much money for just a little help. Or why does the person who sends me news of a lottery win from a lottery I don’t even know of or take part in?
Let’s face it, the crooks know at least one thing. They know how to push the right buttons.
And I am often amazed at the types of people who fall for this.

City: Ouagadougou.
Dear friend,
Compliments, Salam Alaykum!
I am Mr, Melon Ali, working at the auditing and accounting department, ECOBANK BURKINA FASO West Africa with due respects and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During an annual auditing of Account’s in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a tragic plane crash on the Lenana Peak, Mount Kenya, Saturday, the 19th day of July, 2003 together with his wife Jean, three of their children and their spouses, and four grandchildren, since then his fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $8.2M (Eight million, two hundred thousand United States dollars).Infact I could have done this transaction alone but because of my position in the country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavits of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be transferred into on your request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from, to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. The total sum will be shared as follows:60% for me, 40% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incur by both of us. Please, you have been advised to keep “top secret” as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I have concluded this transaction with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me to invest in. All ther necessary, vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account. More details information with the text of application form will be forwarded to you to breakdown explaining comprehensively what require of you. I look forward to receive your reply urgently. Show your readiness to assist me in this transaction by replying this proposal as early as possible and I want you to assure me of your capability of handling this transfer with trust by giving me the following information’s about yourself:
Your Full Name……………………….
Your Sex…………………………….
Your Age……………………………
Your Country…………………………
Passport / driving license…….
Marital Status………………….
Your Occupation………………………
Your Personal Mobile Number………………..
Your Personal Fax Number………………….
I will tell you how you can apply to the bank as soon as i receive your response towards this mail. Extend my greetings to your family and you should please try and have trust on me in this transaction so that we shall achieve our aim together. Do not take this very transaction as a joke, I am betting you right now that this is just nothing but reality, so you reply and ask me how you can apply for the text of application form of claim of the deceased fund from the bank. It is the foreign remittance departments that are responsible for transference of fund into your account over there.
Please, visit the website below for more information’s about the plane crash and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, late Dr. George Brumley.
