courage to ask you if you are capable,reliable and honest to assist us
with this important business believing that you will never let me down
either now or in future.

I am Mrs. Nancy Brooks, the Chief Auditor of National Westminster Bank
Uk(NATWEST BANK). There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 and
since then nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I
do not remit this money out urgently,it would be forfeited for
nothing. The owner of this account is Mr.Smith B.Andreas,a foreigner,and
a miner at kruger gold co., a geologist by profession,and he died since
1998.He opened a non-residential U.S dollar bank account.Since then no
other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that this company does not know anything about this account and the
amount involved is (USD 12.6M) Twelve Million, six Hundred United States
Dollars million dollars. I want to first transfer US$6,000,000:00 Six
million United States Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners
account abroad before the rest is transfered,but I don’t have any foreign
partner.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to any other person other than the next of kin to Mr Smith
B.Andreas.I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do
not know ourselves before now,We will then sign an agreement,but be sure
that it is real and a genuine business transaction.

I only got your contact address from International Business Directory,with
believe in God that you will never let me down in this proposed
business.You are the only person that I have contacted in this regard, so
please reply urgently so that I will inform you of the next step to take
immediately.

Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face
or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive
this money into a any reliable account of your choice where the fund
will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal,sharing and
other investments oppourtunities as well.

I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with
foreign account and foreign beneficiary.I need your full co-operation to
make this work, because the management is ready to approve this payment
to any foreigner who has correct information of this account which I will
provide to you later.

Furthermore,with my position now in the office I can transfer this money
to any foreigner’s reliable account, which you can provide with
assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in
your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place. You can
also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this
remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the account.

I will apply for annual leave immediately I hear from you that you are
ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my
position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of
this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the
ministries and foreign exchange departments.

amount,65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the course of this transaction.

PLEASE DO NOT FAIL TO INCLUDE YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER WHILE
REPLYING THIS LETTER FOR EASY COMMUNICATION

A person named KLEMENS BACKE, claims to be 42 years old, a US citizen who worked for 2mos already in Benin, Nigeria as civil engineer wrote me a friendly letter in friendster website. He said that he is single and looking for a single, honest and a sincere girl. Normally, I answered him back with all honesty, he asked for my yahoomail as well as my cellphone number. He started calling me every now and then, when he learn that I lived alone in the house, he told me that he gonna visit me in my country: He gets my home addresss. I was so nervous and scared that I dont know what to do, I just realized that I was being hypnotized then, I saw myself following already all his instructions. He said that he cannot get his flight details coz he needs the sum of 800€s for the reservations, he had an ATM but is not accessible to the country, he borrowed money from me and promise to pay me back as soon as he arrive in the airport, and that he already ask the travel agency if he could use the ATM in my country. I was able to lend him but not the exact amount he was asking,I sent the money thru Western Union with all his details, after I sent him the money, he said that he already has his flight details but the immigration is asking him for 500€s as his ” show money” before he can get in the flight, he started calling me again if i could lend him that said amount, thats how I was awaken then, he was already too demanding.

It´s a lesson learn, never answer back letters of unknown sender… never give your email address, cellphone number or your home address.

I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Robert, hereinafter referred to as ‘my client’ who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family in east London on the 5th of November 2000.

My late client a former Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million Eight Hundred

Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (£9.8million) with a finance company. After the death of my client, the finance company contacted me, as his attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune; this according to them is their policy in sure circumstances.

Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail. The board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his

next of kin for the payment of this money within the next 8 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of the company to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given me.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, with proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. Can I trust you on this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to back up your claim.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch with me by my alternative email: johnevers.esq@live.com for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us

I know you must be aware about the recent crisis in a multi-international Oil

aim of the letter, I will like to write a little information about YUKOS
Corporation. Yukos Corporation was the largest and rich oil and gas firm in
Russia until 2003 when the Russia government targeted to ruin my boss due to his
intention to sponsor
his friend who wanted to run as a presidential candidate
and the incumbent government feet displeased with my boss action so they decided
to ruin him and the company. If you are much aware that my boss was unjustly
sentence to prison and the human right in Russia are seriously contesting the
judgment in Federal high court in Russia and recently the Russian government has
decided to sale off all the Yukos Assets off, so this made me to urgently write
to you if you could be a saviour to assist us.

I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$120M, which I seek your
partnership in accommodating for me. You will be rewarded with 4% of the total
sum for your partnership. Can you be my partner on this?

the process, My Boss got arrested for his involvement on alleged tax evasion and
politics, by financing the leading and opposing political parties (the Union of
Right Forces, led by Boris Nemtsov, and Yabloko, a liberal/social democratic
party led by Gregor Yavlinsky) which poses treat to President Vladimir Putin
