Dear Friend,

In a brief introduction, I am Hajj Sankoh, the Director of Operation  with    AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) of Benin-Cotonou ,Republic of Benin.I have a very interesting transaction to discuss with you. The business  under discussion has to do with one of our customer a national of your country, who is a Consultant/ contractor with Societe Nationale Des  Products D’ Agricole (SONAPRA) Company in Benin-Cotonou. I managed to get your  contact details through the Internet search  myself because time is of    importance to it and I am desperately looking for Someone to assist me to pull this money out from the bank before our   corrupt government officials will confiscate the money.On Thursday, December 25, 2003, this our customer , his wife and their  only daughter were involved in Air-Crash near the Atlantic Ocean in Cotonou  suburb. For more clarifications, you can visit the CNN web news for the  tragedy.

www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash

Since then I have made several inquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of this our customer. All attempts to reach the  next of  kin of our customer has been futile as He had no family here in Benin Republic.Hence my decision to contact you. I want you and I to go into  partnership, the nature of your business is completely irrelevant to this transaction as all I need from you is an assurance that my  interest will be fully protected once this transaction is concluded.He made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar Months  and his account with our Bank accrues to about (Fourteen Million, Three  hundred and Fifty- Two Thousand US Dollars) $USD14.352M.

According to the Benin Law, at the expiration of (Five) years, the  money will revert to the ownership of the Benin government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to our customer so that the  fruits of this old man’s labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt  government officials who will latter use the money to sponsor war in Africa and  kill innocent citizens in the search for political power/seat. Please note  that There will be no problem at all, my position as the Director of  Operation guarantees the successful execution of this  transaction within 7 Banking days and the money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 40% for you and 60% for me.This is very simple, I will like you to reply immediately so that I can send you the Text of application which you will fill and apply to the bank as the next of kin to our customer and I will use my go!
od position in the bank as the Director of Operation to make sure that the application is approved, during board meeting for immediate payment. If you are   interested, reply immediately via my private email address: hajj_sankoh1@hotmail.com
So that we can proceed at once. Please send to me also your private  phone,  or mobile numbers for easier correspondence.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards.
 
Hajj Sankoh.

Anybody know what Mrss. means? It could be it’s a new title like Mister. Or maybe it’s just a spelling mistake.

Other than further spelling mistakes, it’s interesting to note the use of “Evangelist”. Here in Europe or the US titles like this are not used. Maybe in Africa it is used similarly to Reverend or Pastor. Whatever the case, using this title is designed to give the message a trustworthy note. The crux of the matter is the question “Would you give a stranger with a religious title more trust than someone without a title?”.

Dearest Friend, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO ME.

I crave your indulgence at this mail coming from somebody you have not know before. I decided to do this after praying over the situation. You should please consider the transaction on its content and not the fact that you have not known me before. I need not dwell on how I came by your contact information because there are many such possibilities these days.

I would like to introduce myself as Mrs. Franca Donna, of Repulic of Benin, widow to Late Mr.Sheik Donna (for Consular of the benin embassy in Madrid,Spain.I have been recently been daigonosed of Cancer of the Pelvics. I am writing from my sick bed in a CHINESE HOSPITAL here in Benin Republic.

There is this consignment (containg US$29.5Million cash, in US$100 bills) my husband deposited with a security company, here in Cotonou,Republic of Benin of which I am the next of kin. With my health condition and because my husband and I have no children, I am looking for a credible person to whom I will pass the right of next of kin. This person will apply to the company and request, from them, the procedure towards retrieving the consignment from them.

This is on the condition that you will take 25% of the fund for yourself, 5% used for expenses, while you will use the remaining 70% for the less previlege people in the society. This is in fulfilment of the last request of my husband: that a substantial part of the fund be used to carter for the less previleged.

If this condition is acceptable to you, you should contact me immediately with your full names and contact information so that I will send you all the documents that the company gave to my husband when the consignment was deposited. So that you will contact the company directly, and demand from them the procedure towards retrieving the consignment from their company.

I cannot predict what will be my fate by the time you will recieve the fund, but you should please ensure that the fund is used as i have described above, I look forward to hear your response at this Email:(mrs_francadonna01@yahoo.com).

Best Regards
Mrs. Franca Donna. ________________________________
