Using 10.6 million Pounds Sterling as bait, this fellow first says he is withholding the name of the person who left the money. He then goes on to say I “bear the surname identity”.

That means my family name is the same as the deceased. Now that is an obvious advantage if I were really to inherit some money!

But, he does not actually say my name, does he?

That way this message fits anyone who gets it. That is obviously an advantage for him. That way he will get more people to answer this message.

Take note that he is using a telephone number with the international code for Great Britain.

THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of Ј10,600,000.00GBP (Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance.

We therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.

Please call me on +447045769387 so that we can get this done immediately.

Kind regards,
Frank Mark.

Michael James is late. Really that’s what’s written here.

Sandra, his supposed daughter, says he was poisoned by business colleagues. Now, I am sure I have heard this somewhere before …

The writers of this e-mail want to keep the whole thing as neutral as possible. There is no family name to be found and no telephone number.

My question, “Is Mrs. Janet a man or a woman?”

Dear friend,

URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

I am contacting you to seek your assistance for a business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us.

My husband was murdered by the Dictator President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe who is the current President of my country Zimbabwe. I and my family escaped and fled the country to a neighbouring country South Africa where we are currently residing on exile.

Before the death of my husband he transferred a huge sum of money to Europe through a Security firm, and the funds are still in custody of this security firm in Europe.

I have been trying to fly to Europe but it has been difficult for me to get a visa from Africa. So I want you to help me make claims of this fund ($16 Million dollars) in Europe as my beneficiary and transfer the money to your account or any account of your choice before I can get a visa to fly down to meet with you so that we can share this money.

For your assistance ou will get 10% of the total fund, which would be ($1.6Million dollars) of this Money for your assistance, and 87% would be mine and the other 3% would be set aside for any expenses that we may incure during the course of this transaction. My 87% would be invested in your country in any profitable business proposed by you. I will give part of my share of the fund to charity organisations in your country and also in my country too.

We have never met, but I want to trust you and please do not let me down when this fund finally gets into your account. Please if you are interested, get to me through the email address below to enable me feed you with more details and all necessary documentations.

Please treat this as confidential.

Best regards,

Mrs Janet
