This is a variation on the often used “my father was poisoned and left me a pile of money” story. Of course, Felix is not able to manage the money himself and he needs a trusting soul to help him.

Make sure it’s not you!

Dear Beloved In The Lord,
From: Mrs Alice IDRIS, Praise be to the name of God most high.
I am the above named person from Sierra Leone but now undergoing medical treatment.
in Abidjan the capital of Ivory Coast in west Africa.
In a brief introduction,

I am the wife of Mr Roberts IDRIS. He was the Chairman of Sierra Leone Diamond and Gold Mining Corporation. In the short lived Government of Major John Paul Koromah where he also served as the Finance Minister against the desires of Alhadji Tijan Kabbah the outset President (then in exile). before he died in the year 2005. We were both married for eleven years without children.

My husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and since his death I decided not to re-marry or have children out side my matrimonia home which the Bible is against

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Sixteen million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.
(USD$16.700,000) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Abidjan Cote d ivoire Africa .

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer illness.

Having known my condition and believing the doctor I have decided to donate this fund to avoid total loss to Church, Less privilege, or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I am interested in helping orphanages ,widows and propagating the Gospel and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. Please do not fail to spread the funds across the globe.

The Bible made us to understand that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not christian that is why they are fighting over the properties and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by their greedy attitude.

I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an UNGODLY manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision.

I am not afraid of death since I am a good christian. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. The bible says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace Exodus 14 vs 14,

I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall issue a letter of authority to
the Bank submit you as my late husband foriegn business partner based on the agreement my late husband made with the Bank that any foriegner that I the wife submit his details to the bank as his foriegn business partner is whom the bank should release the money to.

Please if you are interested to help me recieve this money in your account as my late husband’s foreign business partner,kindly respond in swift to enable me contact the Bank and submit your name for the preparation of the transfer,

I want you to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
ALICE.

This story must have been told a thousand times. It’s a good example of the crooks taking a world event and using it to re-hash an old story and make it half way plausible.

Subject: RESPONSE NEEDED
To:

Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
Taikoo Shing Branch,

Hong Kong.
Fax: +852-301-76685
Email: info_patrickchan2@yahoo.com.hk
Good Day,
I am Mr. Patrick Chan Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a Secured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty million United State Dollars ($30,000,000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Col. Hosam Hassan along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Col. Hosam Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the Paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my Bank. So, Thirty million United State Dollars ($30,000,000.00) is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 6 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col. Hosam Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Col.Hosam Hassan , all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me
with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you, Should you be interested
please send me information’s below,
1. Full names and Age
2. Private phone number
3. Current residential address.
If interested you can reach me on my private email below.
(info_patrickchan2@yahoo.com.hk)
And finally after that I shall provide you with more details on this transaction.
Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Patrick K.W Chan.

Hi

I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs Nelson Jonathon. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet who operated in the capital of  Ivory coast during his days.
 
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 12th September 2003. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.

Before his death on September 2003, he called me and informed me that he has the sum of Five Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00)left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary but legal documents to this fund with the bank.

I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don’t know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so

desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:

1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your account?
 
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter.
 
Kind Regards,
Miss Natalee Jonathon .
