Nella nostra casella email improvvisamente arriva un messaggio, da un perfetto sconosciuto. Costui si presenta come avvocato, dipendente di una banca, figlio di un dittatore tragicamente scomparso oppure erede di un cospicuo patrimonio (di norma stiamo parlando di decine di milioni di dollari). Il mittente dichiara di avere la possibilità di sbloccare questa montagna di soldi ma ha bisogno di un piccolo aiuto, di solito nel suo paese c'è una guerra civile o qualcosa del genere quindi ha bisogno di noi: ha bisogno di una persona affidabile in occidente dove dirottare temporaneamente questa fortuna per entrarne in pieno possesso; insomma ha bisogno di un complice affidabile con un contro corrente in occidente, lui (o lei) provvederà all'emissione di un bonifico internazionale mettendo sul conto i soldoni. Naturalmente lui si fida ciecamente di noi e quindi sa che, una volta completata la transazione, noi gli restituiremo i soldi trattenendo una provvigione per il disturbo. Ci sono numerose varianti della truffa ma tutte hanno in comune una particolare generosità dato che la commissione va dal 10 al 40% dell'importo totale.

Ricapitoliamo: una persona che vive in un paese colpito da una guerra civile o qualche simile tragedia conosce il luogo dove un vecchio pirata ha nascosto il tesoro, quello che sui libri di avventura è segnato con la X sulla mappa. Ha paura di prendere personalmente il malloppo perchè le autorità del suo paese glielo confischeranno subito e quindi si fa venire l'idea geniale: spostare il bottino in un paese civile e sicuro per poi scappare in occidente e recuperarne una grossa fetta.
Fin qui potrebbe sembrare quanto meno logico, come trama di un film potrebbe stare in piedi ma ... questo fortunato (o sfortunato, a seconda dei punti di vista) a chi decide di rivolgersi? Proprio a noi! Guarda un po' con qualche miliardo di persone che abitano in occidente o in paesi cosiddetti civili lui decide di rivolgersi proprio a noi. E come ci ha trovato? Con una ricerca su internet! Andiamo! Qui con tutta la buona volontà la trama si indebolisce tantissimo, eppure eppure .... in molti ci credono o almeno ci hanno creduto in passato.

Andiamo avanti: vediamo quali sono i passi successivi della truffa.
Dopo aver risposto alla prima email il nostro amico normalmente chiede un numero di fax per far arrivare un po' di documenti (che effettivamente arrivano, ho sperimentato personalmente un paio di questi casi). Ovviamente dobbiamo fargli avere il numero del nostro conto corrente in modo che lui possa preparare il bonifico internazionale ma, di solito a questo punto, comincia a sorgere qualche intoppo, qualche piccola difficoltà. Niente di importante ma improvvisamente il nostro povero ricco si trova bloccato e comincia ad aver bisogno di soldi. Piccole cifre, per carità. Qualche decina, centinaia di euro che gli servono per corrompere un funzionario di una banca oppure della dogana un po' troppo diligente, oppure per preparare qualche altro misterioso documento, un certificato di morte, un passaporto. Lui è ricco, ma il tesoro è ancora sepolto quindi queste piccole somme dobbiamo anticiparle noi, un piccolo, piccolissimo anticipo spese di fronte all'enorme bottino che ci aspetta alla fine della transazione .......


Se la truffa fosse tutta qui sarebbe semplicemente ridicola ma purtroppo ci sono stati in passato casi finiti più tragicamente; persone particolarmente ingenue o credulone hanno abboccato al punto da affrontare viaggi in paesi africani ottenendo non una facile ricchezza ma un bel carico di legnate e una rapina vera e propria, in senso fisico.

Ma chi può essere così ingenuo da abboccare a una bufala del genere?
Tanti, tantissimi. Il fenomeno sembra in declino ma ancora oggi si stima che il “giro d'affari” creato da questa bella trovata si aggiri sui 100 milioni di dollari l'anno. In Nigeria (paese particolarmente attivo con questa truffa) esiste una legge, la 419, che cerca di colpire gli autori di queste mail, purtroppo non sempre con buoni risultati.

Se pensate che sia tutto esagerato, come spesso avviene per le voci che circolano su internet, posso mostrarvi alcune di queste simpatiche letterine dirette, pensate un po', proprio a me.

Mr Jonathan Daniels funzionario di banca sudafricano ha trovato una somma in un conto corrente; il proprietario è morto nell'incidente di Lockerbie senza lasciare eredi

Dear Sir,

Courtesy of Business opportunity, I take liberty anchored on strong desire
to solicit for your assistance on this mutual beneficial and risk free
transaction with you, which I hope you give urgent attention. To be
precise, I am Jonathan Daniels the Manager of Bills/Exchange at the Foreign
Exchange/Remittance Department of NEDBANK South Africa. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$12,524,000.00 (Twelve Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Four Thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our customers who died along with his entire family in 1988 Lockerbie Pan American Airline plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of Kin to come over and claim his money, because we can not release it unless somebody applied for its next of Kin or Relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking procedure, but unfortunately to no avail, and nobody has come forward to claim the money (because the mentioned next of kin which is Son died as well).
Therefore, upon this discovery I and other two officials in my department now decide to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting you. We want you to purportedly present your good self as the
next of Kin or relation of the deceased so that we can prepare documentations and release the funds (US$12.524 Million) into your account
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and
again we do not want the funds to go into the Governments account as
“Unclaimed Bill”.
The banking law and procedures herein stipulates that any account abandoned or dormant for a period of some years is subjected to be closed and all money contained therein will be forfeited to the Government Treasury
Account. Now it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred
into Government Treasury Account as unclaimed funds on or before December 2003. The reason for you to present your good self as the next of kin in occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner.
Mode of sharing after the successful completion of the transfer is as follows, for the role you will be expected to play in the whole exercise, we have agreed to give you twenty five (25%) of the total sum, and 5% has been set aside for expenses we are going to encounter by both parties in the process of this transaction and the remaining 70% shall be for my colleagues and I. In support of the aforementioned, you are urged to reply this letter indicating your readiness and interest to participate in the business. After you reply, you will be advised on the next step forward.
I quite believe that you will protect our interest by keeping this business Top Secret and Confidential, as your interest will be equally protected in order to achieve and maintain maximum confidentiality. Trust to hear from you on the above numbers as I count on your earliest response.

Yours truly,

Jonathan Daniels

BEST REGARDS,

Mr.Henry Timi dalla Nigeria ha trovato un po' di bond dispersi. Altro che Parmalat!

I, on behalf of my colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria
owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards transfer
of US$41,500,000.00 (Fourty one Million,five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)
into your bank account.
These funds emanated from unclaimed contractual proceeds of foreign
contracting
firms who could not meet their financial obligations to their creditors.
We, as holders of sensitive positions in our various parastatals, were
mandated by the Federal Government to scrutinise all payments made to
certain
foreign contractors and we discovered that some of the contractors have
not been paid their contractual entitlement which collectively left the
sum of US$46,500,000.00 (Fourty six Million, five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars)
lying in a suspended Account.
However, from our investigations, we discovered that the foreign
beneficiary companies have since been liquidated, and to all intents and
purposes no longer exist in Nigeria, thus providing us with this
opportunity,
provided that we have a capable partner, to execute a transaction of this
nature.
We agreed that the said amount would be transferred into an overseas Bank
Account to be provided by a reliable foreign firm/associate. This is because
as serving Government workers the Civil Service Code does not allow us to
operate foreign Account. In our initial attempt to do this, we succeeded
in transferring part of this amount US$5m (Five Million Dollars)
into a United States Dollar Account in Beirut, Lebanon, but our foreign
associate failed to honour our mutual agreement insisting instead that the
total amount be transferred into the Account before we can share the money.
As a result, we have lost confidence in the ability of our Lebanese partner
to see this matter to its logical conclusion, and until the initial
transaction
is satisfactorily resolved, we have cancelled further transactions with
him.
In the light of the foregoing, it is clear that we require a partner that
is not only capable of rendering assistance and cooperation in executing
this matter, but will honour the terms of agreement when we reach the
concluding
stages of this transaction. We therefore offer the amount of 20% of the
entire sum in return for services/assistance rendered in successfully
carrying out this project. We trust that you appreciate the sensitive nature
of this matter and the need for initial caution on our part, but when a
relationship is confidently established and operations commence you will
be provided with all relevant information.
I remain at your disposal to entertain any questions/enquiries
relating to this proposition and you may contact me as a matter of urgency
via e-mail or through the above telephone numbers for further information
on the procedures and requirements of this transaction.
In your reply, remember to indicate a safe telephone number where I can
always reach you.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Please treat with the strictest confidentiality and expediency
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Henry Timi

Anche Mr. Abba Dabo ha trovato soldi appertunuti a una persona scomparsa in un incidente aereo, senza lasciare eredi!

Dear Partner to be,

I am Mr. Abba Dabo,Manager with CONTINENTAL TRUST BANK,based in Lagos,Nigeria.

I have a confidential business proposition for you.Our Bank is a financial institution specialising in private banking to
individual customers who likes confidentiality in their financial dealings.

On January 13,1987 an Indian-American mining consultant with the Petrogas Gas Systems BV Environmental Systems, Mr. Dixit Shanti made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit for Twenty Four calendar months, valued at US$49,500,000.00 (Forty Nine million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars)in the Bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,that Mr. Dixit Shanti died in the 1988 Lockerbie flght Pan Am 103 plane crash. On further investigation, I found out that he died interstate(without making a WILL), and all attempts to trace his next-of-kin had been fruitless.Please see http://www.geocities.com/capitolhill/5260/passlist.html
[N.d.r. questo link contiene veramente la lista dei passeggeri deceduti nel disastro aereo ma non ha nulla a che che fare con la truffa]

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Dixit Shanti did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents with us, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$49,500,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Dixit Shanti.

This is simple, I will like you to provide your full names and home or office including your telephone and fax numbers so that I can seek the services of a lawyer/Attorney to prepare the necessary documents and
court affidavits which will put you in good standing as the next-of-kin.

A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide later will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you.

Be informed that in other to provide more legality and legitimacy to this project,the paperworks for this will be done by the Attorney and my position as the head of bills and exchange guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
revert back to me.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Thanks and regards.

Mr. Abba Dabo

business with them,that are aware of the company's reliability.I want us to start building a foundation of trust now as we must trust each other before we can do anything pertaining to this transaction.I want to use this media to inform you of impostors.Beware of them because they are known for nothing other than lieing and stealing.But with me by your side,you will not fall prey to their lies because any similar proposals you receive should be forwarded to my mailbox for advise on the next step to take.

CHINATRUST COMMERCIAL BANK.
NAN KAN BRANCH, TAIWAN
REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Dear Sir,
I am Dr. Woo Chong, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank,
Nan Kan branch, Taiwan, R.O.C.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor
with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity,
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith Lawrence died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Smith Lawrence did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum
at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the
attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney
for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
90% for me and 10% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Thanks and regards.

MR.ROY ZONDEKI. in Sud Africa ha scopero un pagamento sbagliato effettuato dalla sua compagnia.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.

I am MR, ROY ZONDEKI a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium.

I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Here under for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction.

Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars ($21,500,000.) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to opoperate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.

This amount $21.5m represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the Tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the $21.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately by e-mail address whether or not you are interested in this deal.

If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember to treat this matter as very confidential matter, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business.

PLEASE, NOTE THAT YOUR RESPONSE SHOULD BE SENT TO THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS BELOW FOR CONFIDENTIAL REASONS. (royzondeki@****.net)

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,

MR.ROY ZONDEKI.

I am the Former Finance Minister of Democratic Republic of Congo. I resigned from office early last year, on personal reason(s). When I was in power, I deposited 10.5M (Ten Million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into an account with Finance Company in Europe and Africa.

Unfortunately for me, the government spokesman (Mr. Kikaya Bin Karubi), a very close aid to me trying all means with the government to frustrate me by exposing my bank accounts within Africa and abroad. To this effect President Joseph Kabila, has requested the entire Western World and African countries to furnish his government with any information that will lead to the discovery/recovery of any bank account(s) operated by me.

Based on this lastest development. I decided to seek your immediate and urgent co-operation to receive into your bank account the sum of US$10.5M.(Ten million five hundred thousand United State Dollars only). By accepting to receive it from the finance Company on my behalf. This will make it impossible for the Government to have access to this fund.

On receipt of your positive response, being an Honest and Trust-worthy person that can handle this issue with high confidentiality, I have agreed that you will be entitling to 10.5% of the total sum, when the fund is successfully deposited into your account. The nature of your business is not relevant. All that is required is your Trust and total co-operation. I wish to inform you that this venture is 100% RISK-FREE.

Un cliente della banca di Mr Derek Jones, senza il nostro aiuto molti soldi saranno usati per comprare armi e finanziare guerre, giammai!!

DATE: 16/01//04

FROM: Derek Jones.



Dear Friend,



It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact that you do not know me, my name is Derek Jones, a staff in the private banking sector of the bank. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who died mysteriously. Since the demise of this our customer I personally have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of USD$32.5 m, (Thirty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which has been with my branch for a very long time, now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college. Fervent valuable efforts made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the deceased's next of kin (he had no known wife and children) has been unsuccessful. The management under the influence of our chairman and board of directors are making arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE? and then be subsequently donated to thetrust fund for Arms and Ammunition, which will further enhance the course of war in Asia and the world in general.
On this note I decided to seek for a capable person that his name shall be used as the next of kin, as no one has come up to be the next of kin. The banking ethics here does not also allow such money to stay more than six years, because the money will be recalled to the banks treasury unclaimed after this period,I will give you 40% of the total.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you the modalities I have mapped out for the funds transfer as it can be finalized within five banking days. When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision.
Respectfully submitted,

Derek Jones.

Mr. Wang Qin aveva come cliente un generale iraqeno, ucciso insiema alla sua famiglia nella guerra del golfo.

From: wang qin,
email address:wang7q@****.com

Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wang Qin
credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim
Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with
a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent to him, even during the war early this
year. Again after the war another notification was sent
and still no response came from him. We later find out that
the General and his family had been killed during the war
in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that
Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not declare any next of kin in his
official papers including the paper work of his bank
deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank. So, Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will
ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that
according to the to the laws of my country at the
expiration 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership
of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the
funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that
I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin
to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive
his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out
so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an
attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will
back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, all
that is required from you at this stage is for you to
provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the
next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on
your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are
going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will
prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to
observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank
account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for
you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of
this operation. Should you be interested please send me
your full names and current residential address.

Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.and i will prefers you to reach me on this
email:wang7q@****.com
Kind Regards
Mr. Wang Qin

Mr Zosimo Zaccheo ha dei problemini con il governo dello Swaziland

ASSISTANCE IN INVESTMENT :
Dear Partner,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am Zosimo Zaccheo, the first son of Wanda Zaccheo, the most
popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country.
I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before
the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum
of US12M (Twelve million, United States dollars), in one of the private
security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money
was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security
company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear
of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account, since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylumseeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South
Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in your hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangement with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of
ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investmentment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain
percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, Or
you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of
the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, feel free to
notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred
in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am
willing to give you 15% of the money while the remaining 80% will be for my
investment in your country. Contact me with the above email address, as I
implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction
till we successfully put claims to the funds.
Thanking you, and may GOD BLESS YOU,
Yours Faithfully,
Zosimo Zaccheo.

PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE

ATTN:SIR,

My name is MOSES ZUMA the elder son of Mr. David ZUMA of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got your address from the South African Chamber of Commerce in Johannesburg, South Africa. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father is one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabe’s ideas, Mugabe’s supporters invaded my father’s farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my father’ s farm. Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$ 10.5 Million Dollars(Ten million five hundred Thousand united state Dollars). After the death of my father, we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as valuables.
So I decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist me to move this money out of South Africa because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any bank account within South Africa. We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 65% will be for me and my family to invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. Note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and absolutely confidential.

Il Dr Masato Chan, onesto impiegato di una banca di Taiwan, ha scoperto un conto bancario intestato a un uomo scomparso senza eredi.

Hi,

I am Mr.Masato Chan, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan branch, Taiwan. I have a very confidential proposition for you.
On the 27th september, 1999, a European Oil connsultant/contractor with
the Taiwanese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Thomas McDavids made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
(Fifty Million United States of American money) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Taiwan Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Thomas McDavids died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Thomas
McDavids did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
(Fifty Million United States of American money) is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Taiwan,at
the expiration of 5 (five) years,the money will revert to the ownership
of the Taiwanese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Thomas McDavids so that the fruits of this
old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor,so that the money can be released to
your account.
What I want you to do is to indicate your interest that you will assist me
by receiving the money on my behalf in your account and assist in
investing this money in any lucrative business like properties and
stock in multi-national companies and other safe lucrative investment in
your Country. There is no complications at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email
address (drm_chan@****.com). Upon your response, I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
The money will be paid into your bank account for us to share in the ratio
of 90% for me and 10% for you.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address drm_chan@****.com
