The writer has spun a story about my prize money which he has put into
his personal account in Nigeria. He even tells me not to pay more than
320 USD he has quoted. I wonder how he gets around that?

If this is really a genuine plead for help, Reverend Clement is going about it the wrong way.

AN APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

Calvary greetings to you in Jesus name amen. I know this letter might come as a surprise to you but I was inspired to do so as a result of the Orphans and motherless babies under my care.

Initially, I stated this work with few children and I was able to take care of them. It was later many children were brought to me and I was making every effort to meet up with their daily needs.

Based on this, I started sending financial appeal to Individuals, Government, Corporate bodies and Organizations for financial support to enable me continue with this God work and services to humanity.

If not that people some times listen to my cry for financial help, in fact, there is no way I would have continued.

My Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, if you receive this letter and God touches your heart, kindly assist the orphans and motherless.

No amount is too small, we will continue to remember you in prayer and God will not forget your contributions to the orphans and motherless.

Thanks and be blessed as you render services to God and humanity.

Yours in the service of God and humanity
Rev. Clement Chukwuyem

You get the impression that this fellow is trying to get around spam filters. He writes just one sentence in the e-mail.

And this is the attachment:

I just got this e-mail this morning. Achmed Abdul-Azeez says he has cancer of the esophagus. This person is using the same text as has been often seen before.

This time however, he sent not only three e-mails, but with the second he sent a photo.

This is just to try and prove that he is honest and sincere about what is written in the e-mail! Don’t forget, the e-mail is a standard text and is often in use! So there cannot be any truth behind the e-mail and picture.

Of course the question is, is the man in the picture Achmed or not? I don’t believe that is important. The main thing is, people believe it is Achmed and have pity on his situation.

Considering the world wide move to help the Indian Ocean rim after the Tsunami. Achmed is appealing to people to help donate his money for charity work. Why doesn’t he talk to his bank? Simple, the scam only works this way. He needs victims who willingly cooperate with him, thinking they are helping, but are only being taken for a ride.

Here’s the e-mail:

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you and a Happy and prosperous 2005.Please permit me to introduce myself.

I am Mr. ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed a SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant before I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled all medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to live.

As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on my sick bed.

If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now. As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.

I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends on this as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Eighteen million U.S Dollars ($18,000,000,00) stashed in 2 trunk boxes and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a finance/Security Company in Europe. All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds
for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims.

Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited.

God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as soon as possible if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on my behalf. Find attached a picture of me along with this email for your perusal.
