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).

Mrs. Franca Donna. ________________________________

This one is targeting the christian sector. Funny though it talks about the husband making 21 million USD while working for the Malaysian national mint. Does Malaysia have it’s own mint? I am not sure about that, but I suspect that it doesn’t.
She talks about being ill and wanting a good soul to claim the money and set up a charity.
Boy, these crooks are really trying to press the compassion button with this one.

Dear , Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself. I am Mr.Justin Lorenzo, an Italian crude oil Merchant based in Sao Tome and Principe. I was so lucky to come in contact with your profile and email address on the internet, and that is why i am contacting you. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled all medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to live. As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world, as I lay helplessly on my sick bed. If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now. As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends on this, as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in Sudan,Somolia, Haiti and India they greedily kept the money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contented with what I have left for them. The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Fourteen million U.S Dollars ($14,000,000,00) stashed in two trunk boxes and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a finance/Security Company in the Netherlands . All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims. Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited. God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform me as soon as possible via my email address: justinlorenzo45@yahoo.it, even if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on my behalf. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation. Justin Lorenzo.
I just got this e-mail this morning. Achmed Abdul-Azeez says he has cancer of the esophagus. This person is using the same text as has been often seen before.
This time however, he sent not only three e-mails, but with the second he sent a photo.
This is just to try and prove that he is honest and sincere about what is written in the e-mail! Don’t forget, the e-mail is a standard text and is often in use! So there cannot be any truth behind the e-mail and picture.
Of course the question is, is the man in the picture Achmed or not? I don’t believe that is important. The main thing is, people believe it is Achmed and have pity on his situation.
Considering the world wide move to help the Indian Ocean rim after the Tsunami. Achmed is appealing to people to help donate his money for charity work. Why doesn’t he talk to his bank? Simple, the scam only works this way. He needs victims who willingly cooperate with him, thinking they are helping, but are only being taken for a ride.
Here’s the e-mail:
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and a Happy and prosperous 2005.Please permit me to introduce myself.
I am Mr. ABDUL-AZEEZ Ahmed a SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant before I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled all medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more months to live.
As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on my sick bed.
If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me now. As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I also want my soul to be at peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends on this as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Eighteen million U.S Dollars ($18,000,000,00) stashed in 2 trunk boxes and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a finance/Security Company in Europe. All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the funds
for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims.
Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited.
God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform as soon as possible if you are not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on my behalf. Find attached a picture of me along with this email for your perusal.
