It’s not often that German freemail companies get misused for 419 scam types of e-mails. The Africans don’t usually speak the language and as such they don’t find their way around the sites.
Non the less, this one is obviously doing the 419 scam and is quoting an African, Okeke Frank as the contact man.
Now Frank’s e-mail address is from the French language version of Hotmail. So you can see that they certainly look for alternatives for their e-mail accounts.

MANAGING DIRECTOR
DAH SING BANK LTD
36TH FLOOR DAH SING BANK
FINANCIAL CENTRE LTD.
108 GLOUCESTER ROAD,
HONG KONG
MAIL:mrhwong006@gmail.com
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Hon-Hing Wong , Managing Director Dah Sing Bank Ltd, Hong Kong.
I am contacting you with respect to a portfolio amounting to $35,520,000
USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States
Dollar) deposited by a German Merchant named Mr. Mathew Schneider.
On the 18th of October 2002 Mr. Mathew Schneider deposited $12,000,000
USD (Twelve Million United States Dollars) under our portfolio management
department for four years and the deposit matured on the 18th of October
2006 with over 196% growth which amounted to a total of $35,520,000 USD
(Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States
Dollar).
Mr. Mathew Schneider, has since passed away without stating his next of
kin because he deposited the funds in our establishment at a point he was
finalizing divorcing his wife and had no kids coupled with the fact that
he was an orphan, this funds has since mature and the roll-over on the
funds has also expired.
This sum of $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty
Thousand United States Dollar) is still in my possession in my Bank
lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds
and all material and immaterial documents and certificates relating to the
funds is also in my possession.
According to the Hong Kong Law regulating cases of this nature which is
also typical to other Asian countries, at the expiration of 5 (five)
years, such funds will revert to the ownership of the Government for
financing military operations, such as purchasing of arms and ammunitions
for the military.
In order to avert this negative development, I will like to seek for your
permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Mathew
Schneider so that the fruits of this old man’s labor will not be use for
financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the
world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 35% for you and the balance of 5% for will be responsible
for the major /trivial expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this project will be done
by my attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the
successful execution of this project. If you are interested, please reply
immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with further information’s
and modalities that will help you understand the transaction.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
project would be most profitable for both parties because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.

I registered it with the FedEx Courier company in the name of Computer accessories as its content and i didn’t let them know that it contains funds of US$1.500.000.00 because of fear of betrayal.
Now this one is really interesting. Why would would anyone want to cash in a bank draft and deposit the money with a parcel express company?
(Does he mean UPS?)
At the best, this is a very dubious story.

PRIVATE EMAIL: hajj_sankoh1@hotmail.com
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.
