From The Desk Of Mr. John Peterson.
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 January 2000 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,

Mr. John Peterson

none of the stories here are true.

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.

Kindly contact me through my number or via e-mail address so that we can talk more about this transaction. (mrmelon_ali@voila.fr).

Thanks from,
Mr Melon Ali.

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.

this has nothing to do with money laundering. It is just a method of fraud which is very successful.

Good Day,
Urgent Business Proposal.

I am the Director of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remittance
Department of Africa Development bank (ADB). I am writing to seek your
cooperation over this business deal. In my Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of (US $10 Million United state Dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that
took place in Kenya, The account belongs to the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a
citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but naturalised in Burkina-Faso and
contractor with Anglo Gold.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot
be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately, all
his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. You can read more about the crash on
visiting this site;
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html

it is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to your account as the next of kin or
business associate.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remains dormant after four years; the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance and maximum
co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I will
like us to share this money mutually on two equal halves between me and you .
Please note that I don’t have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money
due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY. I will indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged information and must be
strictly confidential.

Best Regards

Yours faithfully,
DR. PAUL RICHARD
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
Federal Republic of BURKINA-FASO
