The "next of kin" deal ranks about second after the Lottery scams. There are apparently so many Engineers who have lost their lives, leaving piles of cash in African banks.

The reason why this ruse is used is obvious. It is very difficult to confirm any details which are used. But, the story sounds good, doesn’t it?

Dear Trusted Friend

Compliments of the day. I deceided to contact you after I received a worthy information about your reliability and honesty. Hence I confide in you. I am Dr Andolos Tony ,from (African Development Bank BENIN),Republic of Benin.

During the course of our auditing we discovered the sum of twelve million five hundred thousand united states dollars USD12.500.000.00) floating in an account opened in this Bank since 1997 and as from 2001 nobody has operated on this account again, and after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [HEIR]sept 11th 2001 by plane crash, hence the money is floating.

After due verification I noticed that no other person knows about this account except his wife who was also invovled in the crash, and the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that untill his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL] Since our bank,(African Development Bank )Benin Rep.got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but up to date nobody came up to this bank as his next of kin or relative.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or elation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and we don’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come up as his relation. And the country law here does not allow such money to stay more than Five years, for the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this period.

Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you the application form,bank’s contact and the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within fourteen banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.

It has been resolved that 30% will be for you while 10% has been maped out to defray any expences that might be incured during the process of the ransaction.

Then 60% will be for me which shall be release after the funds must have been remitted into your bank account. When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision.

Include your :
1.Private Tel
2.Fax numbers for quick communication.

I will be very happy if you can treat this business with the utmost secrecy it demands because of my position in this bank.

Hoping for a very successful business relationship with you.

Best Regards,
Dr Andolos Tony

I would like to be a "money re-profiler" like Joyce, wouldn’t you?

This e-mail is short, but you can instantly recognise the African touch. Nobody uses "Madam" these days. Or do they?

This story has often been repeated usuing different names. But, you can see that it is a fraud, when you note the impersonal way it is written.

If I had lost my father that way, I would have a lot of anger in me and that would show.

Dearest one

Compliments of the day, i hope this email reaches you in good condition. i am the above named person,Mr. Dennis Omar 21years old, from Ivory Coast the son of late Mr&Mrs Omar .It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 13 of may 2003.

Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on may 13 of 2003 called and told me that he has the sum of Sixteen Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.(US$16,800,000.00 ) compile in a metallic box and deposited with one of the security company here in Abidjan Ivroy coast West Africa 10 of febuary 2002

Therefore i do not want you to be surprised at the nature of my contact with you, the truth is that i actually got your contact on the world wide web (www) while i was in search of a trustworthy person for assitance. Basically i need someone sent by God, who will not be of any mischief nor take undue advantage of my present situation.

Furthermore,I want you to help me remit these funds from the security firm as i am incapable of doing it myself,my late farther also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.he decleared it as family treasure and used my name (Dennis ) to Deposit the Box as his only son for next of kin. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.

I want you to assist me in clearing this box from the security company and then transfering the fund inside the box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose for me and as well to further my education.

I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don’t know what to do,this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Finally, i wish to tell you that after you might have remitted/collected the funds from the security company i intend for you to use the funds for the following;
1.To start a better life again and as well further my education.
2. Make a charity donation to ophanage home.
3. Meanwhile 20% of the total funds will be for you, for your
Assistance.

I will wait to hear from you in order to give details on how you can claim the funds on my behalf, i am positive that this will not take too much of your time. As such i urge you to look at this duty as a call for service from God, also a call for helping me out of this my present trial, a call to put a smile on the faces of people in distress.

Best Regards
Omar Dennis.

Goodday Beloved Friend,

This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for your unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction.
By way of summarized profile of myself, I am Senator Luisa Pimentel Estrada, a 74years old lady and the first wife of Joseph Ejercito Estrada (former head of state and President of Philippines) who is presently held in detention in a hospital outside manilla,Philippines.
However, the current administration of Gloria Arroyo(The President of Philippines) the present Government have resolved to freeze all known assets of Joseph Ejercito Estrada including properties at home and abroad and are presently embarking on to seize the various bank accounts of my Husband in Switzerland,UK and Australia. We cannot be held responsible for the sins of my Husband. In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this distressed call to save our family from a hopeless future. And if you agree to help, we shall discuss the disbursement ratio in our next correspondence after we have been acquainted. In fact, the attack on our family (The Estrada’s) is so devastated to an extent of seizing our traveling passport, family accounts, trying some members of our family in court for offences allegedly committed by my Husband and even restrict us from seeing my husband.
Ihave carefully moved out these funds (US$18 million), before my husband was impeached to an offshore Deposit Company.From past experiences, many people I had regarded as close friends has capitalize on my family’s travail to run away with my money. In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction with my son (DANIEL) now seek your permission to allow my attorney do a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT of stated funds from the deposit company to your name, so that the funds (US$18million) would be released to you as the new owner (on behalf of me and my family).In view of this grievous threat to our Economic and personal survival, our family trustee have secretly protected the deposit, you are to assist us to lay claims of the consignment with the aid of all legal documents that will be forwarded to you as time goes on.
I am writing because when I deposited the money in the deposit company, I told them that it belonged to a foreign business partner and my present position will not allow me to claim the funds. Consequently, I will present you as the owner of the funds in the Deposit Company so you can be able to claim them. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately;
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive this information,My son will prepare the necessary documents that will put you in place as the new owner of the funds. The money will then be released to your custody by the Deposit Company, for us to share. No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive,please we employ you to observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because we shall require your assistance to invest our share in your country (buying of properties like houses, hotels etc). This is why your urgent action and response is of priority to enable us concluding this transaction in a timely and professional manner.

Awaiting your swift response via this email address:mrslpestrada@sify.com indicating your interest pls.
Thanks and regards,
Luisa Pimentel Estrada.
