The fellow who wrote this post has a good command of the English language. At least he has written it in a semi-official tone to give the impression he really is an attorney at law.

To create urgency, he is using the argument often used saying the account will be confiscated.

By whom? For what?

It’s not that easy to confiscate an account. It would only occur when the account was used for illegal purposes and then only with a court issues a writ to do so.

This bank has issued me a notice to contact you (Next of Kin), or the account will be confiscated.

All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your approval about this and your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this mail proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology.

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,

In a brief introduction, I am Hajj Sankoh, the Director of Operation  with    AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) of Benin-Cotonou ,Republic of Benin.I have a very interesting transaction to discuss with you. The business  under discussion has to do with one of our customer a national of your country, who is a Consultant/ contractor with Societe Nationale Des  Products D’ Agricole (SONAPRA) Company in Benin-Cotonou. I managed to get your  contact details through the Internet search  myself because time is of    importance to it and I am desperately looking for Someone to assist me to pull this money out from the bank before our   corrupt government officials will confiscate the money.On Thursday, December 25, 2003, this our customer , his wife and their  only daughter were involved in Air-Crash near the Atlantic Ocean in Cotonou  suburb. For more clarifications, you can visit the CNN web news for the  tragedy.

www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash

Since then I have made several inquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of this our customer. All attempts to reach the  next of  kin of our customer has been futile as He had no family here in Benin Republic.Hence my decision to contact you. I want you and I to go into  partnership, the nature of your business is completely irrelevant to this transaction as all I need from you is an assurance that my  interest will be fully protected once this transaction is concluded.He made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar Months  and his account with our Bank accrues to about (Fourteen Million, Three  hundred and Fifty- Two Thousand US Dollars) $USD14.352M.

According to the Benin Law, at the expiration of (Five) years, the  money will revert to the ownership of the Benin government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to our customer so that the  fruits of this old man’s labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt  government officials who will latter use the money to sponsor war in Africa and  kill innocent citizens in the search for political power/seat. Please note  that There will be no problem at all, my position as the Director of  Operation guarantees the successful execution of this  transaction within 7 Banking days and the money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 40% for you and 60% for me.This is very simple, I will like you to reply immediately so that I can send you the Text of application which you will fill and apply to the bank as the next of kin to our customer and I will use my go!
od position in the bank as the Director of Operation to make sure that the application is approved, during board meeting for immediate payment. If you are   interested, reply immediately via my private email address: hajj_sankoh1@hotmail.com
So that we can proceed at once. Please send to me also your private  phone,  or mobile numbers for easier correspondence.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards.

Yes, this is a further adaption of the charity e-mail.

It’s interesting to note that the crooks mention an air crash, which they found reported on CNN. As a starter, they inform you of the delivery charge (£ 155.34 British Pounds), which gets you to accept fees from the beginning.

Subject: Read Carefully !
To: undisclosed-recipients

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to chose you amongs the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say why I have chosen you but do not be worried for I come in peace and something very positive is about to happen to your life right now and to the lives of others through you if only you can carefully read and digest the message below. The internet has made the world a global village where you can reach anybody you have not met before.

Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography,I am Mother Emily Olivier, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva.Please see site below for more information. http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html

After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now that I am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to donate half of what we have worked for to the less privilege and charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close friends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with me and I am very weak and old now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I.

Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes and to some of the less privilege in different countries. Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also agreed to render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to the fact when we were still young in life we receive an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know till date, the impact we got from such gesture made us to do same.

I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing. I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of £ 5,800,000.00 British Pound with FedEx express to deliver to you, what you have to do now is to contact the FedEx COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date.

For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.

You have to contact the FedEx COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your cheque with this information bellow;
Contact Person: Mr. Mark Robbins
Email Address:fedexunitedkingdom@live.com

Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charge, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is £155.34 British Pounds for the security keeping of the cheque so far.

I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don’t know when you will be contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost.

You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Postal address;
Full Names:
Direct telephone number;

Below is the security keeping code: (SCT/0433/F) of you draft, you are to also present it to them for verification before delivery.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in receiving their security keeping fee of £ 155.34 British Pounds for their immediate action.

Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to do is to invest wisely with it and do the same good to someone?s life someday as this is the only way this world would be a better community if we render selfless services to one another.

Be also notified that I will no longer be reading my emails or surfing the internet as I have retired completely from the outside world to my ranch, at this moment I have nothing to do with cars, emails and other luxuries, all further correspondence should be forwarded to the courier company for the delivery of your cheque to you..

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Emily Olivier Jackman

Here’s another abandoned, deceased or suspended account just waiting for you to claim it.

Reading the CNN report quoted in this message you will see that there are actually no names of people published in the account. That obviously does away with having to actually write the e-mail about a specific person. This makes it easier to spin his tale.
