Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
To:

Hello Friend,

I sincerely hope that this letter will not come to you as a surprise or an embarrassment since we neither knew each other before nor had any previous correspondence nor contact. I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first because it’s fastest means. I believe it will be a surprise to you as we have never met before, and I am deeply sorry if I have in any manner disturbed your privacy.

Please forgive this unusual manner of contacting you. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is WAHID FAHID , From kuwait. I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends .

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended  with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Six Million dollars ($6,000,000.00) that I have with financial institution abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. N/B: KINDLY NOTE THAT 80% of these funds must go to victims of recent disasters and another 20% for your effort and time. Upon receipt of your response, I shall communicate with you, and let you know the details of the transfer. Whatever your actions and your decision, I thank you for taking the time to read this email.

Regards,
Wahid Fahid.

Here’s another example of using a name with a high trust value for a bogus lottery.

To tell the truth it’s ridiculous using the United Nations for a lottery scam e-mail. it just goes to show that some of these crooks are not that intelligent.

But, I am sure some people will fall for it.

In their quest to find names which can impress people, these crooks have happened upon Mercedes Benz. Of course it’s a name that is well known the world over for quality cars. That’s why they use it here. To give the reader the impression that what they are reading is plausible and true.

Of course, Mercedes Benz would never be a sponsor without having a marketing advantage for themselves. On top of which, the company is very conservative and would not stoop to such marketing tools as lotteries. They just don’t need it.

“Dr. Mrs.” that’s good

They don’t actually call it a lottery in this one, but it’s written like the Yahoo & MSN scam e-mails which have been reported often here. Instead of MSN they name Windows Live as the cooperation partner. Looks as though they are modernizing.

The Longsight district of Manchester is mostly a urban area and if you look at the Stockport Road on Google Maps you will see there are hardly any office or commercial buildings of any kind.

The story used here is a variation of a story which crops up quite regularly. It’s a “I’m sick with cancer and have a pile of money to give away”. Not forgetting,  “I am religious too”.

MY DEAR BELOVED,

Please read this slowly and carefully, as it may be one of the most important emails you ever get. I am Mrs.Lin Campolin from Greece. I was married to Late Randi Campolin.The CEO Veekrol Link Ltd London United Kingdom, a seasoned contractor in England. He died on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in Paris.

We were married for eleven years without a child.After his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of £5.3Million GBP in a bank in England,which is now wasting there. My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to better the lives of the less privileged. I need honest and trust worthy individual that will utilize this money in accordance with my instruction.

I want the funds to be used in funding religious organisations,orphanages and less privileged propagating the word of God. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit thismoney and my husband relatives are very unkind to me and I don’t want my husbands hard earned money to be misused. I am not afraid of death hence I know here I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my course and I shall hold my peace. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank, for them to process the and transfer the funds to you.

For legitimacy, you will be issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me, Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose. Waiting to hear from you.

EMAIL: mcampolin@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Lin Campolin
