Hello dear,
 
I am Melvyn Falzon the only son of Mr. Falzon a licensed solid mineral (gold, diamond, etc) exporter before he passed away. Before his untimely death my father, apparently, married a woman who became my stepmother because my mother died when i was very young. My stepmother already have children for my father who are about my age, and they came with her to live in my Father’s house. I discovered that there was some ill-feeling from my stepmother towards me, since then i have been badly treated; being forced to undertake work befitting only a servant, in my father’s own house. When my father died instead of being in the state of mourns as custom demand, she went as much as desired and claimed my father’s property as well into the future regarded as a possible danger to my live.
My father before passing away informed me privately that he had an deposit valued eight million one hundred and twenty thousand euro (8,650,000euro) which he intend to move abroad to his foreign associate for investment abroad on my behalf, this money he acquired from the diamond/gold export contract he secured and executed under the umbrella of the government.
 
Truly i don’t know you but considering my situation and security, couple with an uncontrollable crisis between the rebels and government, my life is no more safe here. I confided on your assistance and write with every respect due to your good person and ask that you assist me to get the money moved to your country on my behalf as my late father’s foreign associate to your country for investment.
 
So please i want to know you better. I am willing to offer you 865,000euro for your assistance after the successful transfer of this money for investment; I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate, industrial production or any other lucrative investment you bring to my notice in your country.
 
Please if you are willing to assist me, indicate your interest by sending your phone number & address so that I can communicate with you at any time. I will be waiting for your response.
 
thanks
Melvyn

- Dear Friend,Permit me to present this proposal to you I apologize if
I offend you for sending this mail to you however, is a matter of
urgency and I would appreciate it if you can give attention to it. My
name is Micheal Williams(QC.), Solicitor and Financial Adviser to late
Mr. Bradley Robinson a property magnate and building contractor based
here in the U.K. On the Thursday July 7, 2005, my client Mr. Bradley
Robinson, 64, his wife Maria, 62, their daughter Andrea, 38, her
husband Christian, 57, and their children Katharine, eight, and
Maximilian, 10, died inside a bus that a bomb was planted in.
Hallmarks of al-Qaeda .For more information about this crash and
people, visit his Website:
//www.guardian.co.uk

his death he has directed me to liquidate these investments into cash
and depositthe proceeds into his account with a Financial/Security
Institution. My client was a successful and an accomplished family
man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. He left behind
a large deposit in his investment account in the Financial/Security
Institution. Upon his death the Financial/Security Institution
contacted me as his Solicitors and Attorney to provide them with a
next of kin or foreign partner since the families he provided as next
of kin for the claim died with him in the crash leaving a vacuum to be
filled. I had made several inquiries on my own to locate any of his
relation but all has proved unsuccessful.Two weeks ago, the
Institution adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin or his foreign business partner/associates based on the
Agreement he sign with the Institution for the fund to be released or
transferred to his next of kin (His family)! Or Foreign
Partner/Associate within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the
Institution as abandoned by the owner with no trace of next of kin.
The institution had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of
1936 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given
to me.By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing. I have
reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin or foreign partner of my deceased
client therefore, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kin or foreign partner to the Deceased since you are qualified so that
the full proceed from his Account valued at #22.2 Million British
Pounds Sterling can be paid to you. I am proposing a negotiable
commission of 25% for you. I have all the required information and
shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to
back up our claim all I require is your honest co-operation to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Trust me as his personal consultant that this is arisk-free
transaction. If you think you are capable of handling this, get back
to me immediately and provide your personal contact details and e-mail
for further correspondence.Thank you and God bless. Yours truly,Micheal

Yes, it’s another e-mail from Ouagadougou touting an imaginary account, using George’s name to promote it. The reason is simple, George Brumley is easy to research on the internet. His background makes the story halfway believable.
