If you have seen the Khodorkovsky e-mails, then you know what this one is about. Platon Lebedev is another billionaire put in jail in Russia. I found the last sentence sounds like a James Bond movie:

I have no idea if this person ever saw my profile anywhere. It’s not all that hard to find me on the Internet these days, so maybe “he” was on a social networking site.

and that’s a good reason for a lot of people to want to claim the card offered here.

The old story about having cancer and wanting someone to donate their money to charity.

This one is easy:

1.The lady is terminally ill
2. She was poisioned
3. She has a few million US Dollars she want to give to some trustworthy person
4. and, of course, please contact someone in the Ivory Coast for details.

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?

- Dear Friend,Permit me to present this proposal to you I apologize if
I offend you for sending this mail to you however, is a matter of
urgency and I would appreciate it if you can give attention to it. My
name is Micheal Williams(QC.), Solicitor and Financial Adviser to late
Mr. Bradley Robinson a property magnate and building contractor based
here in the U.K. On the Thursday July 7, 2005, my client Mr. Bradley
Robinson, 64, his wife Maria, 62, their daughter Andrea, 38, her
husband Christian, 57, and their children Katharine, eight, and
Maximilian, 10, died inside a bus that a bomb was planted in.

people, visit his Website:

his death he has directed me to liquidate these investments into cash
and depositthe proceeds into his account with a Financial/Security
Institution. My client was a successful and an accomplished family
man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. He left behind
a large deposit in his investment account in the Financial/Security
Institution. Upon his death the Financial/Security Institution
contacted me as his Solicitors and Attorney to provide them with a
next of kin or foreign partner since the families he provided as next
of kin for the claim died with him in the crash leaving a vacuum to be
filled. I had made several inquiries on my own to locate any of his
relation but all has proved unsuccessful.Two weeks ago, the
Institution adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin or his foreign business partner/associates based on the
Agreement he sign with the Institution for the fund to be released or
transferred to his next of kin (His family)! Or Foreign
Partner/Associate within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the
Institution as abandoned by the owner with no trace of next of kin.
The institution had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of
1936 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given
to me.By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing. I have
reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin or foreign partner of my deceased
client therefore, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kin or foreign partner to the Deceased since you are qualified so that
the full proceed from his Account valued at #22.2 Million British
Pounds Sterling can be paid to you. I am proposing a negotiable
commission of 25% for you. I have all the required information and
shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to
back up our claim all I require is your honest co-operation to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Trust me as his personal consultant that this is arisk-free
transaction. If you think you are capable of handling this, get back
to me immediately and provide your personal contact details and e-mail
for further correspondence.Thank you and God bless. Yours truly,Micheal

Logically speaking, this story of Saddam’s cash ready for transport
out of Iraq is certainly not true.

But…

There are people on this planet who would like to profit from it.

To: undisclosed-recipients

Hello,

This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must crave your
indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald, an American
soldier, currently serving in the third infantry division in Iraq.

I am in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned
cash in a mansion belonging to the late president, Saddam Hussein and the total
cash is 25million USD. As I write this letter to you, this box is with security
firm in cash as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to a security firm for deposit.

You don’t have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and
everything is safe.

I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this
box on our behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my
Colleagues.Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts. We have
limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately. Moving the funds out of
here is not going to be a problem as arrangements are being made towards that.

All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box gets to you,
You can keep it in a safe place until our arrival.

I have to stop here for now, as your response will determine our subsequent
correspondence.

Please do not expose us for security reasons.

In God we trust,
Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald,

As crude oil has climbed to very high prices over the last 24 months,
there is obviously a lot of room for speculation. And, of course,
ground for new 419 types of e-mails such as this one.

The NNPC used to be used for a lot of scam e-mails. Over the last few
years it has been taken over by the lottery and other kinds of
fraudulent e-mails which work better on reaching a mass market.

We will have to see if this kind of business deal will crop up again
in the future.

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”?
