To A Trustworthy Friend,

How have you been doing? I know life would be treating you well with
its uttermost care. If I was in the same state of health like you are,
I would be the happiest. This letter may come to you as a surprise due
to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no
intentions of causing you any pains so I decided to contact you
through this medium. During the process of reading this, I don’t want
you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is ALEDU MARIAM, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I
have been diagnosed with prostate and oesophageal Cancer that was
discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few
months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even
myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I
was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that

REPLY TO: aledu.mariam@yahoo.com.hk Thank You!

Your Beloved One,
ALEDU MARIAM

Logically speaking, this story of Saddam’s cash ready for transport
out of Iraq is certainly not true.

But…

There are people on this planet who would like to profit from it.

cash is 25million USD. As I write this letter to you, this box is with security
firm in cash as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to a security firm for deposit.

You don’t have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and
everything is safe.

I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this
box on our behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my
Colleagues.Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts. We have
limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately. Moving the funds out of

All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box gets to you,
You can keep it in a safe place until our arrival.

I have to stop here for now, as your response will determine our subsequent
correspondence.

Please do not expose us for security reasons.

In God we trust,
Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald,

This is a typical story about dormant accounts without any heirs to claim it. Karim saysyou can be the one to claim it. No problem.

If you answer him you will soon find out that he will start telling you about difficulties which can only be solved if you pay him some money.

AN APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

Calvary greetings to you in Jesus name amen. I know this letter might come as a surprise to you but I was inspired to do so as a result of the Orphans and motherless babies under my care.

Initially, I stated this work with few children and I was able to take care of them. It was later many children were brought to me and I was making every effort to meet up with their daily needs.

Based on this, I started sending financial appeal to Individuals, Government, Corporate bodies and Organizations for financial support to enable me continue with this God work and services to humanity.

If not that people some times listen to my cry for financial help, in fact, there is no way I would have continued.

My Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, if you receive this letter and God touches your heart, kindly assist the orphans and motherless.

No amount is too small, we will continue to remember you in prayer and God will not forget your contributions to the orphans and motherless.

Thanks and be blessed as you render services to God and humanity.

Yours in the service of God and humanity
Rev. Clement Chukwuyem

This one is a rehash of the “I’m the son/daughter of a wealthy cocoa merchant from the Ivory coast and my father was poisoned by his partners” story. You see I almost fit it into one sentence …

Dearest one,

l know this mail will come as a surprise to you. I have a proposal for you to this project however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss Linda Jerry 24years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Jerry Richard. My father was a highly reputable farmer (a cocoa merchant) in cote d’ ivories during his days.

It is sad to say that he was poisoned and passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 15th. OCT 2007.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his brother, my uncle who traveled with him at that time.

But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.

Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune (his death) He called me and explained to me the reason why he will make this trip and also told me that he deposited a trunk box that contain($ 8.500.000.00 Million US Dollars) in a Bank there in Abidjan Ivory Coast and that this money is for an investment purpose overseas.

He gave me the certificate that he used for the deposit of the fund and other vital documents of his asset, after his death l went to the Bank and establish ownership of the fund. Now l need your assistance to move this fund to your country for investment as that has been my late father’s aim before his death. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

Can you honestly help me receive the said fund, what will you like to take as your commission to assist me in this project?

Please can you kindly arrange a letter of invitation to enable me migrate to your country after this fund might have lodge into your account? Are you ready to help and pay all charges to the bank for the transfer of the fund to your account. If this proposal arouse your interest kindly contact me back with my email address immediately.

Thanks for your Understanding

Anticipat Your Cooperation.
