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
Thank you! PLS, REPLY TO: aledu.mariam@yahoo.com.hk
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.

Subject: Letter From Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald
To: undisclosed-recipients
Hello,
This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must crave your
indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am Sgt. Mark Fitzgerald, an American
soldier, currently serving in the third infantry division in Iraq.
I am in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned
cash in a mansion belonging to the late president, Saddam Hussein and the total
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
here is not going to be a problem as arrangements are being made towards that.
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.
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

I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I discovered an abandoned sum of $9M(NINE Million United states Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in Algeria Earthquake on 23 may 2003. Since his death,none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir.The bank cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out for the funds $9M (NINE Million United states Dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary’s next of kin.It may interest you to note that i have secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of my mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the followings:
1. Your Full Names and Address.
2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.
These requirements will enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made.I shall be compensating you with 45% on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be mine. Your share stays with you while the rest of mine shall be for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you, I awaits your urgent email reply to proceed .
You could say this is another “deceased” account …
