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”?

This example is the normal story variation. Compare it to the “British Rail” version to see how the story is the same.

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.

With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down- trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

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.

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.

Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards.
Mr. Hon-Hing Wong
