Just for a change the money mentioned in this message is not embezzled, leftover money from a contract or in a forgotten account somewhere. Just to make sure the reader does not have any guilty feelings, they write it has “no criminal origin”.
Maybe someone, some day will write that the money doesn’t exist either…

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.

Dear Partner,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.
This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character.
I will introduce myself as Mrs. Rachael Morgan.Kazeem Barker. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries “OPEC”. He has worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the year 2003, as a result of one of our son’s brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my culture is against.
However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband’s relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have nowhere to go to, so I decided to go back to my motherland to stay with my family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get myself organized and carter for my children.
Before my husband died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the secretary of OPEC with a finance house in oversea. We have interest in Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture etc.Please, I hereby request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it.
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house in oversea. I don’t want my husband’s relatives to know about this development.
Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.
In a short time, I will arrange a meeting with you and my eldest son who will accompany you to the finance house office where the investment fund is deposited by his late father for easy claim and quick transfer.
My Eldest son will be assisting me to facilitate this transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds claimed and transfer into your account.
I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. Also, I will forward to you my personal information for recognition and trust before you proceed contact with the Finance house.
Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction.
You are to contact me via this private email addresses only for security rmorgan01@rediffmail.com,rmorgan@live.com
