Hello

My name is Myles Gallagher,i am pleased to get across to you for a very confidential and profitable business proposal. I got your contact while searching for a reliable person who will assist me to execute this once in a life time business opportunity in my department.That’s why I deemed it fit to contact you and ask for your assistance in this profitable matter, requiring trust and confidentiality.

I am a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board of Allied Irish Bank Group (Senior Security Specialist). We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of “AIB Group”, the International Banking Conglomerate.

I render internal and external auditing services for Allied Irish Bank. On my routine audit check few months back, I discovered an investment accounts that had been dormant for at least 5 years.

Now banking regulation/legislation here demand that I do notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time span of 8 years when dormant accounts of this type are called in by the Jersey monetary regulatory bodies.

The above set of facts underscores my reason for writing and proposing to you. My investigation of the said account reveals that the investor died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the, bank who unfortunately died with his wife, only daughter and her husband in a plane crash of Flight AF4590 from Paris to New York U.S.A on Tuesday 25 July, 2000. I can confirm with certainty that no next of kin to his estate has been found or has come forward all these years. You can check the link below for more details about the disaster;

I am of the settled conviction that using my insider leverage, I, working with you can secure the funds in the account for us instead of allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government of Channel Islands. This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation.

I have in my custody all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate your claims as the beneficiary of the funds. If this offer is okay by you, we can put minds together and workout the modalities and our mutual benefits. I shall however leave out the finer details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to participate. Be assured that I am in control of the situation and as such, there would be no risk whatsoever if you elect to come on board. Needless to say, UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.

Please send your response and contact details E.g. Full names, Direct telephone, Fax numbers, Email and if available scanned copy of your international passport or drivers license so I can be sure of your identity before we commence business send to my private and more confidential email below, which I have created for this purpose only.

Regards,

Mr Myles Gallagher

The World Health Organisation is a non-profit authority belonging to the United Nations. Seeing the UNO is usually cronically broke, they would certainly have no spare cash to give away.

That means this is also a blatant scam e-mail.

A few days ago I got a Message from Sam Odogwu using the exact same message as this one which came today.

Seeing they both call themselves Sam, I think it’s pretty likely that they are one and the same person.

I imagine most Bible readers will know what is written in Malachi 3:10. But if you don’t, here’s a modern translation for you:

GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995)
“Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way,” says the LORD of Armies. “See if I won’t open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings.

So basically, what Sam is saying is, he has a pile of cash and wants to invest (or should I say donate?) it in my ministry or church.

The Christian scam has been often the downfall of true Christians, who believed that they could use the promised money to do good for the community. All of them ended up with losing a lot of money, which was usually community or member’s money.

A couple of them ended up in jail for embezzlement as a result.

Good salesmanship means you have to make guarantees. 419 crooks often do the same. Here’s one variation:

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.

Be guaranteed that the only thing that is certain with this statement is that you will lose money if you believe it.

Friendly Greetings.

We are a Corporate Financial Service Provider in West Africa. We had a customer who deposited 3.3 million pounds with us and eventually died without any reference to a next of kin.

In accordance with the West African Trust and Federal Laws, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, his investments with our Financial Trust shall revert to ownership of the government of the country of the said investments if nobody applies as the next of kin to claim the investments.

Since you share the same surname with this client, I want to present you to stand in as the next of kin so that you and I can benefit from this investment equally (i.e. 50% for you and 50% for me). I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.

If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly indicate your full names, your private telephone, fax numbers and location where the money will be remitted. I will instruct you on the next step to take.

With friendly greetings,
Daniel Owusu
