"Princess adekus"
Dear Friend,
Good day and Compliments,
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the
wish of God for you to help me and my family, I do hope my letter
will not embarrass you since there was no previous
Correspondence held with you. MY Getting your address is the handwork of
the almighty God. Since then, I have been very much hopeful that you will
assist us irrespective of the fact that the present world is full of
dishonesty and distrust.
God almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you would never
regret this.
I am a female student from University of Benin,Benin city. I am 25
yrs old. I'd like any person who is caring, loving and home
oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and
to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation
with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this
transaction.
Well, my father died earlier Six months ago and left us behind. He
was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years
before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who
can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still
young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my father's
wealth. He left the sum of USD 7,350, 000.00 dollars (Seven Million,
Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars)in a security company.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell
petroleum development company(SPDC) and Chevron Oil company operating
in our locality for the compensation of youth and community
development in our jurisdiction.
I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in
abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs
to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without
my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the
town.
Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from
the security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that
by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.I am
ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this
transaction and another 10%interest of Annual After Income to you,
for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have
absolute control over.
If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist
me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me.Please, note that this
transaction is 100% risk free
and I hope to commence the transaction
as quick as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Treasure.

To: princessmelvina@mynet.com

Dear,
Your contact was given to me in confidence, because of my family societal status and my personality, through the Chamber of Commerce, Mines and Industries here in Nigeria and I have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money. I am Princess (Dr.) Melvina Joyce Afam ( a Medical Doctor with the Federal Ministry of Health) here in Nigeria.

The Subject: My father Chief Daniel Afam (Esamma xxii of Eleme Kingdom) (Now late) was the Royal head of my community, Eleme (an Oil rich town) in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the total annual Oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each is paid to my father as royalty by the federal government. In his position as the royal head and chairman of the Eleme Oil trust fund, he made some money which he kept behind for his family. The money is twenty five Million, Five Hundred thousand US Dollars (US$25.5m). This money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1998. Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of past military regimes (1985-1999), he deposited this money with an open beneficiary in a local security firm. He told the Security Company to safeguard the fund until he finishes arrangement to transfer it abroad. He was planning this when he died last year of heart Attack.

The Proposal: Just before my father died, he called my attention in respect of the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer/investment of the fund. And that led in contacting you. So I would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this great objective. I promise to give you 25% of total fund transferred as compensation for your assistance, Five percent (5%) will be set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction. I attach a copy of my picture for a clearer overview.
God bless you.
Best regards,

Princess (Dr.) Melvina Joyce Afam

Subject: AN OFFER!!

AN OFFER OF GOODWILL
Dear Friend, I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal, I Got your e-mail address in Internet while browsing after I decided to contact you and ask for your assistance in this urgent matter, requiring trust and confidentiality,

My name is Mr.Ismail Faraidooni. I am the humble Manager of National Bank of Dubai, Al Mizhar Branch. I feel positive that might have received this sort of email before, probably sent to you by some unscrupulous elements trying hard to impersonate our bank officials here in the United Arab Emirates. Well, let me assure you of the originality of the current one you are reading.During a recent call over of our branch financial books by our Internal Auditors and my goodself, I discovered a Fixed Deposit account that was dormant for up to 4 years. The tenured sum in the account is a total of Nine Million, Five Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand United States Dollars ($9,538,000, 00). The actual principal sum is Nine Million Five Hundred Dollars ($9,500,000), while accrued interest over the years amount to Thirty Eight Thousand Dollars ($38,000.00).The above mentioned Time Deposit Account belongs to one Mr. Neal Walker, a customer now deceased. We discovered that a plane crash occurred way back On October 31, 1999. Involving an Egyptian Boeing 767 Flight 990 in the United States. His family including Wife and Daughter were unfortunately on board the aircraft too. you can confirm it yourself via the website below: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml Under normal banking regulations obtainable throughout the world, a customer at the initial stage of completing account opening documentation, is required to provide the name(s) of his /her next of kin. This is the norm, because of unforeseen events such as permanent physical disability, or even death. In this case, the late Mr. Neal Walker’s next of kin was first, his daughter, and then his wife. In his Fixed Deposit Account data, I noticed again, that he prefers online banking correspondence, rather than being physically present in the branch. Under normal circumstance, customers send in their instruction on or before the maturity period of investments of this nature, but in cases whereby there is a delay in receiving such instructions, the bank uses its discretion to roll over such investment pending the receipt of an instruction stating otherwise from the customer. In this case therefore, when Mr. Neal’s “rollover or liquidate my investment instruction” was not received by officials in our operations department, the investment was continuously rolled over up to the time I noticed its peculiarity. There is a law in the United Arab Emirates that stipulates remitting any amount that stands as unclaimed after five years from the date of demise of a customer, in cases where provision has not been made for a next of kin by the account holder. Such funds are termed as unclaimed funds by the bank to the emirates treasury account. In this case, it is not that there isn’t any next kin, but because they are both deceased. The emirates you must understand has a peculiar financial system, whereby there is freedom in the transfer of funds, tax exemption, and a very liberal system at the way funds are brought into and moved out of the country without attracting undue attention from Government regulatory agencies. These it is believed can go a long way at attracting foreign capital into the country.

I have taken my time to explain to you the intricacies associated with this transaction, so that you may be able to compare notes with what you might have previously received from impersonators. And above all, to give you the needed feeling of mutual confidence needed to for us to conclude this transaction, that I believe will help both of us achieve financial buoyancy in a very short while. This is what I am proposing:(1) In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of Nine Million, Five Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand Dollars ($9,538,000.00) as unclaimed funds to the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds most be claimed immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. Neal Walker’s partner.(2) The stated sum can only be transferred to a designated account that will be provided by Mr. walker’s partner. Full name, address and other details must also be furnished to the bank for ease in processing necessary documents. This details you will provide for me to commence anchor the transaction.(3) The Bank’s Attorney/Legal Secretary shall prepare all necessary documents relating to the transfer of ownership. A sworn affidavit empowering you as the next of kin to the deceased and a probate administration document shall be served the bank after being duely notarized. This will serve as a legal document backing this claim. (5) You will be required to provide an account and its details to our bank for the said funds to be transferred, as you shall then be regarded as the next of kin to the deceased. This information I will need you to urgently provide.(6) Note: that the operations staff charged with effecting the transfer are all my subordinates in the branch, while the responsibility of authorizing transactions of this nature falls on my shoulder as the branch manager. I am a meticulous, fair and rational individual when it comes to the area of sharing proceeds. Therefore I am willing to offer you 40% of the total sum to be transferred. The remaining 60% shall be utilized in-house. I believe this is equitable enough.

Finally, I can assure you that the above proposed transaction is fool proof, considering the fact that I am the branch manager who shall authorize the transfer, and again, since we shall ensure that we fulfill all the bank’s requirements relating to transactions of this manner. Therefore I can guarantee you that you shall not be liable to exposure in anyway imaginable. I shall need to be able trust you, as much as you will need to do the same about me. Therefore, I shall advice you to kindly reply my email, depicting acceptance in good faith of my proposal. Upon receipt of your reply, I shall furnish you with relevant documents that will help guide and ensure your optimum understanding of the above stated transaction. Additionally, I shall require you to forward to me your telephone and fax numbers for ease of communication. I am sure that I need not state that the foregoing requires utmost confidentiality. Thank you.Awaiting your reply via my personal email.

Sincerely,
Ismail Faraidooni
