Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
To:

Hello Friend,

I sincerely hope that this letter will not come to you as a surprise or an embarrassment since we neither knew each other before nor had any previous correspondence nor contact. I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first because it’s fastest means. I believe it will be a surprise to you as we have never met before, and I am deeply sorry if I have in any manner disturbed your privacy.

Please forgive this unusual manner of contacting you. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is WAHID FAHID , From kuwait. I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends .

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended  with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Six Million dollars ($6,000,000.00) that I have with financial institution abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. N/B: KINDLY NOTE THAT 80% of these funds must go to victims of recent disasters and another 20% for your effort and time. Upon receipt of your response, I shall communicate with you, and let you know the details of the transfer. Whatever your actions and your decision, I thank you for taking the time to read this email.

Regards,
Wahid Fahid.

To A Trustworthy Friend,

How have you been doing? I know life would be treating you well with
its uttermost care. If I was in the same state of health like you are,
I would be the happiest. This letter may come to you as a surprise due
to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no
intentions of causing you any pains so I decided to contact you
through this medium. During the process of reading this, I don’t want
you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is ALEDU MARIAM, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I
have been diagnosed with prostate and oesophageal Cancer that was
discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few
months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even
myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I
was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that

Dear Friend,

As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Azizz .M. Jafar a
merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal
cancer.

It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months tolive,according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared
for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I
was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on
my business as that was the only thing I cared for.

But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I
would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as
well as a few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided
to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the
last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to
some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now
that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself
anymore.

I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in
Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended
with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
Eight Million Dollars [$8, 000, 000, 00] that I have with ANZ BANK AND
SECURITIES.I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 40% for you and for your time.

God be with you,

James Richard, 419 scam, terminal illness

The way these jokers write names is quite interesting. In this case they seem to using the short name for Andrew as the family name. It might also be Andy Richard Moore, as the Africans often put the family name before the surname.

Which ever way it should be, does not divert form the fact that this is written like a normal 419 scam type of message. I would say these people are out after fees, but this time for work permits, visas and so on.

From: Hassan Mohammed
Email: moshammed24@yahoo.fr

Greetings.

As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Mohammed a trader in Dubai, in
the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.

It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only
about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not
even myself), but my trade. Though I am very well to do, I was never open
handed, I was always hostile to people like they never had hopes of becoming
as successful as myself. But now I regret all this as I now know that there
is more to life than just wanting to be prosperous.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world, I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my belonging to my immediate and
extended family members, as well as a few close friends. I want God to be
merciful to me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to give also to
charity, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So
far, I have been able to reach out to a few charity organizations in the
U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to aid me in giving of alms to those
organizations catering for the less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan,
they refused and kept the resources to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with
what I have left for them.

The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the huge deposit of
eighteen milion US dolls that I have in a safe keeping Company abroad, which
I will want you to secure and dispatch to charity organizations.

Please endeavour to reply me on my direct email address of
moshammed24@yahoo.fr for intimacy, as I’ll be awaiting your quick response.
For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you. God be
with you.

Hassan Mohammed.
