I often ask myself if these e-mails are deliberately written as though they come from an 8 year old or if the writer is just not able to write in the English language.

In this e-mail it appears as though this fellow cannot write, despite the fact that he is using words and phrases which are not usual in everyday language. Of course, if he really was a Government Minister he would have a better command of English than is demonstrated here.

Eric’s e-mail is of the usual money transfer type. Of course, his father was killed mysteriously while in Europe. And guess what! He says his uncle did it!

It’s a fairy tale as always …

Dear Respectful One,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Eric Kuame .22years old and the only SON of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.TOURE . My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2003.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
 
But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he  called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank.

I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don’t know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as your son ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
 
Thank you so much.

My sincere regards.
Eric Kuame

These people quote titles like Dr. and Professor to give the impression we are dealing with an honourable man. Now this e-mail says the contact person is Dr Rev Anderson Jefferd.

Do you think that giving him the title of Reverend improves on that?

Funny how these people always quote things like honour, honesty and trust in their e-mails. Those are exactly the traits that they do not hold for themselves.

Ok, this is the regurgitated “I’ve got cancer and a pile of money for Charity” e-mail. There is no way you can dispute that. You can check on other versions with the above link.

Personally, I think Nita is either Joker or not very intelligent or maybe both. I say this because, seriously, do you know anyone called Black-Brown?

To: nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com

Warm Greetings,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, we have to worship our Lord Jesus christ with all our heart because we have determined to remain under the covering of His anointing, Obedience to His purpose and living a life that honours Him will keep us under His hand of blessing.

I am Mrs Nita Blackbrown markson from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Black brown who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian.

Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$10.7million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.

Recently when l went to Medical check , my Doctor told told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Now l am back where my late Husband deposited the money and will go back for surgical operation immediately the money is transfered to your account as l will direct you on how to Donate the money

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that “Blessed is the hand that giveth”.I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that “the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace”

I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire.

I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church / Organisation or individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. my private email address is ( nita_blackbrown10@yahoo.com)

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ.

Mrs Nita Blackbrown.

Looking forward to your response.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr Clive Koffi Jr.

This is the “Widow with Cancer Story” with a twist. Father Eric wants to give the money donated by the woman to you to manage.

Would you give money to someone you don’t know? I wouldn’t.

There is honour in giving to the needy, but this story stinks of dishonour.

Greetings Please join me to work for the lord. I am Reverend Father Eric Nielsen a catholic priest of the Cathedral Church Rome Italy. I am soliciting for your help to assist us in a search for comfortable properties to buy in your Country for establishment of Churches as I have decided to spread all our funds raised and contributions mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. I need your trust. November last year 2006, we received a donation of US$10Million dollars from a 68 years old wealthy Kuwait business woman a long time breast Cancer patient. She decided to donate these funds to us in order to enhance God’s work and to benefit charity because of her deteriorating condition and her cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. According to the doctors she won’t live more than 2 months. I need you to collect this fund and distribute it yourself. The funds will be entirely in your hands and management. I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives that is my main concern.20% of this money will be for your time and efforts, while 80% goes to charity. I found your e-mail address in the web directory, and I have decided to contact you. I will give you more details and position of the funds as soon as I receive your reply. Please I need your urgent reply to enable us carry out this project together for the benefit of charity. Send your reply to me on ericnielsen4@myway.com God bless you. Rev.Father Eric Nielsen

You just have to read the “NOTE”! It basically says, “Sure there are a lot of fraud e-mails which look like this does, BUT that does not say that this one is a fraud e-mail”!

So if you are in doubt, your fears will come true!

I feel very sorry to interrupt your peace since you are not expecting to receive any mail from me. However, I was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency of the message. I crave your indulgence, and want to reassure you that I mean well and that it is only for our mutual good. So please do not be embarrassed or suspicious.

My name is Pat Daniels. I am a social worker with an International Non-Governmental/Voluntary organization based in Switzerland. I am the Accounts/Project Director in-charge of South America regional representation. Our organization, through the local NGO’S and other Agencies and in partnership with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, UNHCR, UNESCO, etc works and sponsors development projects and social services in some third world/developing countries, assistance and re-settlement of victims of natural disaster, civil wars and Refugees, displaced/oppressed children and minority people around the world.

I am just back from Iraq where in the cause of performing our duties we found in a box a large amount of money in cash in an abandoned house, I reached an agreement with the members of my team whom are UN officials(two in number) and we agreed to keep this money to ourselves and they moved the box out of Iraq to Europe(with their immunity as UN officials they are not searched at borders or airports) Now, I am in need of are liable and trustworthy person or company overseas whom I can confidently work with. My work does not permit me to own a foreign bank account or any personal business until retirement.

I have the honour to confide this information in you and to request for your pleasure to assist to receive and secure the money in your account, pending our retirement from service. Please understand that my approach to you is based only on my positive reasoning and on the belief that you will not disappoint or betray me at last.

The amount is fairly huge and we have agreed that on completion of the deal, you will retain some reasonable percentage of the money as a compensation for your assistance. By any standard, the money is cool and legal and therefore quite safe and secure for all of us. However, to consider our official positions, reputation and integrity, especially, the opportunities in the business itself, it is very necessary that all due care be taken so that we do not miss the opportunity due to carelessness. You are therefore expected and advised to display high degree of maturity, responsibility and understanding in handling this information.

There would be a meeting in Europe where we moved the money to, for further discussions and to consummate the transaction at once. I will give you all the details in my next mail when you have indicated your interest and commitment to work with me. Always remember that this is the highest confidence and trust any person can repose on the other, especially when it is considered that we did not know ourselves before. I hope you will honor me too.

NOTE: I know there may be scams and junk mails flying here and there on the internet but certainly, this is not one. Please do not fail to understand that in spite of all that, opportunities of this kind still abound. If you have ever wished or prayed for something good to come your way, now I urge you to take this message seriously and with an open mind. You could never know. This may be an answer to your prayers. So please give it a benefit of doubt, and with good faith and trust join me and I am assuring you now that you will never be disappointed.

Please reply urgently and furnish your TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, for
further details. Treat as strictly confidential and do not reply to this email address I am reaching you from because it is my email address at work and might not be 100% safe so pls no matter your decision send your reply strictly to voluntarypatdan@ netscape.net

Best regards,
Pat Daniels
