The Nigerian e-mails are not sent as often as they used to be. They
try to instill a sense of officialdom by claiming to be a Senator or
Govenor or what ever.

Seeing that Marisa is a complete citizen of the Phillipines, (Yes, it’s strange what some people write) it makes me wonder why anybody would want to deposit anything at all in a West African land like the Ivory Coast.

That is the second strange thing about this e-mail …

Dear Respected One

My name is Madam Marisa Mayor . A complete citizen of the phillpines widow to the late Mr Desmond Mayor who died of ulcer and he has been buried.

I inherited a total sum of 12.3 million dollars from my late husband, this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and finance company in Cote D’Ivoire Due to the instruction he laid down before he deposited the box, that he needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government organization can trace where about of the box until were ready and prepare to claim it.

This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.This means that the security company does not know the content of this trunk box.

My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in your country with your percentage of which we shall chat on soon.

In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously chasing me around with constant treats, trying to suppress me so that they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate them. They have successfully collected all his properties, yet they never stopped there, they told me to surrender all bank account of my late husband,which I did, but I never disclose to them this deposit with the security company in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire , because this is where my future and destiny lies upon.

The family of my late husband never aware of the secret existence of this deposit which my late husband made with the security company and they can never be aware of it.

Out of fear of my late husbands family, and when the situation becomes uncontrollable because of pressure on me from the family, I decide to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me retrieve this box of money from the security company for onward lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment.Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue.

There is need for urgent action because I’m paying $50 dollars per day as a demurrage to the security company for safe keeping this consignment.

I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Madam Marisa Mayor

This crazy story has been used for several years now. Like the others, it just gets adapted to fit what the crooks need. It’s unusual due to the fact, that they claim this e-mail originates from Sao Tomé.

Dear Partner,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.

This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character.

I will introduce myself as Mrs. Rachael Morgan.Kazeem Barker. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries “OPEC”. He has worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the year 2003, as a result of one of our son’s brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my culture is against.

However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband’s relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have nowhere to go to, so I decided to go back to my motherland to stay with my family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get myself organized and carter for my children.

Before my husband died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the secretary of OPEC with a finance house in oversea. We have interest in Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture etc.Please, I hereby request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it.

Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house in oversea. I don’t want my husband’s relatives to know about this development.

Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.

In a short time, I will arrange a meeting with you and my eldest son who will accompany you to the finance house office where the investment fund is deposited by his late father for easy claim and quick transfer.

My Eldest son will be assisting me to facilitate this transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds claimed and transfer into your account.

I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. Also, I will forward to you my personal information for recognition and trust before you proceed contact with the Finance house.

Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction. 

You are to contact me via this private email addresses only for security rmorgan01@rediffmail.com,rmorgan@live.com

Yours in Sincerely,
Mrs. Rachael M. K.Barker.
