The African crooks certainly do have fantasy. Kofi Annan sends me a message from the Nigerian Union Bank using a Yahoo email account.

They also claim that unionbanknigplc95@ymail.com is the banks official e-mail address.

As you can see, once again they use the United Nations and the former Secretary Kofi Annan, to try and make a story sound plausible.

They never do. You just have to look closer at what they write and use your common sense.

I like the slogan at the end:

Making the world a better place

Here’s another “abandoned fund” kind of message claiming they have a millions they need to transfer to some trustworthy person.

Talking about which language they like to use, this fellow actually writes “I would prefer all Communication and future correspondence in English Language.”

Maybe this fellow just doesn’t speak French.

Ever since his death and up till this time of writing, no next of kin or relation of his has come forward to claim his money with us.

Naturally, as long as late Dr. Brook?s money remains unclaimed, the bank remains richer in free fund with his money.

However, with my position i am directly in charge of Bills and Exchange in the Foreign Remittance Department of this bank. I am in a position to cause the payment of this money to whosoever that present himself or herself as the next of kin or relation of late Dr. Brook’s on private business deal basis.

1. Act as the next of kin or relation of late Dr. Brooks
2. Provide your bank account and location where you want the money remitted.
3. Provide your direct and private telephone/fax numbers for effective communication.
4. Give immediate reply to this proposal, using this email address

Upon receipt of your response, I will send to you by fax or email the text of Application you are required to forward to the Bank. For your co-operation and efforts 30% of the money will be for you as our foreign partner, while 70% will be for myself that i will eventually visit your country for disbursement of our fund portion.
