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.

Logically speaking, this story of Saddam’s cash ready for transport
out of Iraq is certainly not true.

But…

There are people on this planet who would like to profit from it.

Subject: Letter From Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald
To: undisclosed-recipients

Hello,

This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must crave your
indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald, an American
soldier, currently serving in the third infantry division in Iraq.

I am in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned
cash in a mansion belonging to the late president, Saddam Hussein and the total
cash is 25million USD. As I write this letter to you, this box is with security
firm in cash as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to a security firm for deposit.

You don’t have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and
everything is safe.

I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this
box on our behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my
Colleagues.Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts. We have
limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately. Moving the funds out of
here is not going to be a problem as arrangements are being made towards that.

All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box gets to you,
You can keep it in a safe place until our arrival.

I have to stop here for now, as your response will determine our subsequent
correspondence.

Please do not expose us for security reasons.

In God we trust,
Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald,

Occasionally I get messages which are a little out of the norm. This is one of them.

This morning I received a message from Yahoo 360 from someone with the profile Charity Help. The profile photo shows a person who is obviously in hospital. Of course I instantly recognised this as a typical 419 scam, but the funny thing is the fellow in the photo has been posted here in 2005 suffering from Cancer. Then he was named Achmed Abdul-Azeez.

So it looks as though this poor fellow’s photos are being misused for these Cancer stories.

In this one he is called Mr. Salli and here is the message

Dear Friend,

Although this medium (Internet) has been greatly
abused,I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest,surest and most secured medium of
communication,besides it is my only means of
communication due to my condition.Also, this
correspondence is purely private, and it should be
treated as such,As you read this, I don t want you to feel
sorry for me,because,I know everyone will die

someday.My name is Mr. R Salli a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defiled all forms
of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a

few months to live,according to doctor.I have not 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 have decided to give alms to

charity organizations,as I want this the last good deed I
do on earth.So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in asia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I

then asked members of my family to close all my
accounts and sell off all my properties and distribute the
money to charity organizations and keep only a certain
% to themselves but they refused and with aid of my

lawyer they 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 a cash
deposit of $5,000,000 that I have with a
finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 10% for your time.i shall

soon disable this page so please reply to
charitydream@gmail.com
God Bless you
