That sounds extremely logical. Does that mean you can confirm the birth of the deceased or the beginning of his death?

No matter, most people won’t understand what he means.

On a funnier note: does anybody know what he means by “Have A Green Day”?

Dear Friend,
my private E-mail// mrs.winnie_jeffries0001@yahoo.fr I am contacting you believing that you are a honest and trustworthy person. I believe you will not betray the confidence; I am willing to repose in you, for me to have contacted you even though we’ve not met before.
I have decided to seek your help in carrying out my last wishes, My name is Mrs Winnie Jeffrries. I’m a 52 years old woman and my Country is Ouagadougou, I was the chairman of “Cocoa marchant farmers”, based in the city of “Ouagadougou” the Republic of Burkina Faso, I was also married with two children.

My husband was the director of Camela Vegetable Oil Company (CVO) before his death, with my two children were involved in a car accident on December 26th 2004, before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I care for, I never really cared about other values in life.
Since I was bereaved, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families, I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless, I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs, only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people in Canberra, Australia through fire.

I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution on assisting people over there or any part of the world like Asia/ Europe and America that might still need any financial help, I have kept (US$9.300 Million) Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars in a long-term deposit in bank.
Presently, I’m in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophagi Cancer at Memorial Hospital.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only few weeks to live, It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organization in the World like I said, I have enclosed for you the Current Photograph I took below Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit with the help of my Lawyer and distribute it accordingly Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 30% of it to yourself. Feel free to re-imbrues yourself when you have the money for any expenses you made during the process of collecting/claiming the Funds on my behalf.
Please If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as possible, Again I will allow you to communicate with the bank were the fund is directly upon the receipt of your reply because I want this project to be completed by next month before I die according to the Doctor.
And also attach to me in your return mail your personal details for familiarity, May the good lord bless you.
1. Your Full Names
2. Your Age/ Sex
3. Your Marital Status
4. Your Occupation
5. Your Mobile Numbers/Fax
6. Your International Passport/Working ID/Driving Lincence.
I am waiting for your response. My private E-mail// mrs.winnie_jeffries0001@yahoo.fr
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Winnie Jeffries.

This is a typical story about dormant accounts without any heirs to claim it. Karim saysyou can be the one to claim it. No problem.

If you answer him you will soon find out that he will start telling you about difficulties which can only be solved if you pay him some money.

The only interesting point about this e-mail is the e-mail address didia44@zudah.org.

There is a registered domain Zudah.org. It belongs to a woman with an address in California. The question is, how did Didia get a working e-mail address from there?

I am waiting for an answer, so we will have to wait and see if there really is an e-mail account there or not.

If you take a look at Wikipedia you will find an entry about Mr. Brumley. He was quoted to be a philanthropist and he died with several family members in a plane crash in 2003.

Now obviously this background is ideal for 419 scam crooks to misuse this information to put a bogus story about “lost” money in deepest Africa. Seeing that e-mails quoting money in Ouagadougou come in almost every day here, it does seem a favourite location for stories like this.

Here’s a popular story which is used often used by the African crooks. Andreas Schranner,  who died in the Concorde crash in Paris, is the person who allegedly left some money in an account in, yes you guessed it, in OUAGADOUGOU!

Needless to say the story about abandoned money is not true.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sumof US$20m dollars (TWENTY MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongsto one of our foreign customer (MR.

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 guidings 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 relationto 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 banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this funds you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective

Here’s another scam message from OUAGADOUGOU. This time the crooks are quoting Andreas Schranner as the owner of the abandoned account.

If you have been following Crime Online at all, you will know that Andreas Schranner is often used in this type of message. It’s easy to confirm that there ever was somebody with that name. There is even a link to the BBC report on the Plane crash.

Remember the Concorde that went down in Paris? That’s where Andreas Schranner died.
