You just have to read the “NOTE”! It basically says, “Sure there are a lot of fraud e-mails which look like this does, BUT that does not say that this one is a fraud e-mail”!

So if you are in doubt, your fears will come true!

I feel very sorry to interrupt your peace since you are not expecting to receive any mail from me. However, I was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency of the message. I crave your indulgence, and want to reassure you that I mean well and that it is only for our mutual good. So please do not be embarrassed or suspicious.

My name is Pat Daniels. I am a social worker with an International Non-Governmental/Voluntary organization based in Switzerland. I am the Accounts/Project Director in-charge of South America regional representation. Our organization, through the local NGO’S and other Agencies and in partnership with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, UNHCR, UNESCO, etc works and sponsors development projects and social services in some third world/developing countries, assistance and re-settlement of victims of natural disaster, civil wars and Refugees, displaced/oppressed children and minority people around the world.

I am just back from Iraq where in the cause of performing our duties we found in a box a large amount of money in cash in an abandoned house, I reached an agreement with the members of my team whom are UN officials(two in number) and we agreed to keep this money to ourselves and they moved the box out of Iraq to Europe(with their immunity as UN officials they are not searched at borders or airports) Now, I am in need of are liable and trustworthy person or company overseas whom I can confidently work with. My work does not permit me to own a foreign bank account or any personal business until retirement.

I have the honour to confide this information in you and to request for your pleasure to assist to receive and secure the money in your account, pending our retirement from service. Please understand that my approach to you is based only on my positive reasoning and on the belief that you will not disappoint or betray me at last.

The amount is fairly huge and we have agreed that on completion of the deal, you will retain some reasonable percentage of the money as a compensation for your assistance. By any standard, the money is cool and legal and therefore quite safe and secure for all of us. However, to consider our official positions, reputation and integrity, especially, the opportunities in the business itself, it is very necessary that all due care be taken so that we do not miss the opportunity due to carelessness. You are therefore expected and advised to display high degree of maturity, responsibility and understanding in handling this information.

There would be a meeting in Europe where we moved the money to, for further discussions and to consummate the transaction at once. I will give you all the details in my next mail when you have indicated your interest and commitment to work with me. Always remember that this is the highest confidence and trust any person can repose on the other, especially when it is considered that we did not know ourselves before. I hope you will honor me too.

NOTE: I know there may be scams and junk mails flying here and there on the internet but certainly, this is not one. Please do not fail to understand that in spite of all that, opportunities of this kind still abound. If you have ever wished or prayed for something good to come your way, now I urge you to take this message seriously and with an open mind. You could never know. This may be an answer to your prayers. So please give it a benefit of doubt, and with good faith and trust join me and I am assuring you now that you will never be disappointed.

Please reply urgently and furnish your TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, for
further details. Treat as strictly confidential and do not reply to this email address I am reaching you from because it is my email address at work and might not be 100% safe so pls no matter your decision send your reply strictly to voluntarypatdan@ netscape.net

Best regards,
Pat Daniels

The representative or agent scams are on the rise. Although we get this type of fraud e-mail quite regularly, we have noticed an increase during the last few weeks.

After all the years I have been following these scams, this is the first one which claims to be from the Cape Verde islands.

I expect most people have never heard of them, let alone know where they are.

Mail from Mr. Barnett Esq.
Johnson Barnett ESQ (President)

Barnett & Associates Limited
P.O.Box 23457, Praiha
Republic of Cape
Verde

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write to you based on a request by an investor and his need for investment/funds transfer.

My name is Johnson Barnett Esq. a Financial Consultant/Attorney based in
Republic of Cape Verde.

My company most times represents the interests of very wealthy Investors/Individuals due to the sensitivity of the position they hold in the society and the unstable investment environment of our country, they evacuate majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed nations where they can get good yield for their money.

I was recently approached by a Reserved Client of mine, whom I had personally
worked with a few years ago when he was a Finance Minister and wants me to
source for a reliable and trustworthy individual such as yourself,who will
be willing to receive money on his behalf abroad, and at the same time advise
on what form of investment that will be embarked with the funds when perfectly received.

The client has offered these terms:

1. 25% commission paid to you upon receipt of the funds through the original
sum to be transferred. The funds in question are $45.3Million US Dollars.

2. Your details will be used to have the funds evacuated and you will stand
as the principle owner of the funds and will deal directly with the Remittance Bank without the involvement of the Investor.

If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will provide
you with all necessary information and procedures involved.

Sincerely yours,

Johnson Barnett ESQ (President)
J.K.
Barnett & Associates Limited.

PS* The client is willing to make available the fund to your possession and
in your country within 3days of confirmation of your capabilities.

This is a precursor to cheque, product delivery, and transport cost scams.
