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

REPLY TO: aledu.mariam@yahoo.com.hk Thank You!

Your Beloved One,
ALEDU MARIAM

This is a typical story about dormant accounts without any heirs to claim it. Karim saysyou can be the one to claim it. No problem.

If you answer him you will soon find out that he will start telling you about difficulties which can only be solved if you pay him some money.

To be honest if a real medical student sent me a message like this, I would suggest they consider another profession, like a road sweeper, for example.

Assalam Alaikum

I got your email address through Islamic organization directory over the Internet.

I hope in the name of ALLAH that I have the right person who will assist me.

I want to transfer money for investment into your country/business as such I would like to make contact with people like you residing in that country for assistance Note,the funds are already with a security company which also has branches in Asia, Europe and America for safe keeping. If you are willing to assist me.

This is all you will do for me,You will help me contact the security company for the release of the funds to you as my next of kin, as I cannot travel out from Iraq at the moment because of certain conditions which I will explain to you if we work together(my traveling documents are not yet complete).

The fall of Saddam Hussein has brought destruction / Hell to our great country and everything is practically difficult now and opportunities are closing up,the new government is trying to frustrate our businesses.

What I require from you are as follows:

1. You should make arrangement with the Security Company to secure the funds on my behalf.

2. You will be entitled to 30% of the total sum involved for your assistance, and 5% of the funds will be set aside for reimbursement of any kind of expenses incur as a result of this transaction by both parties.

3. As soon as you confirm to me by e-mail your readiness to claim the consignment from the Security Company, I will send the PIN code number of the consignment to you and also the security Company’s information.

4. Please note that this project is 100% risk free but you must keep it very secret and confidential with strong assurance that you will not let me down at all.

I have made all necessary arrangement getting for the probate order from court that necessitate you as the next of kin and this document will allow you deposit the money to any account of your choice safely.

Please if you’re interested to assist me, reply back with this Email address [quasa100@rediffmail.com]

I await your prompt reply.

Abdullah
