Dear Friend, It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise; this is because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email following the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us. However, I am Barrister Darmani Lawrence, Attorney to the late Engr. Ronald Johnson, a national of Northern American, who was the former director of DUGBENE MINES GHANA LTD. On the 11th of November, 2007. My client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Tema Beach Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I was told to contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client; I can easily convince the security company with my legal practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security company where this huge deposit was lodged. Particularly, the huge amount of money deposited by the decease in the security company valued at about $15 million (Fifteen million) U.S dollars. Consequently, the security company issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days` since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several years now. I seek your consent to present the following so that the money can be paid/transfer to your account and then you and I can share the money, 50% to me and 50% to you. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through, and also forward you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15million can be transferred to you. Please provide the following to me: 1, Your Full Name: 2, House Address: 3, Your Country: 4, Your Contact Telephone Number: 5, Your Age and Gender: 6, Your Occupation: 7. your ID card or passport.

It's important to note that any real people and / or legitimate organizations whose actual names or other details appear in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam! Scammers never use their real names. They frequently take on the identity of real people to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary / commision, low-interest loan, lottery prize, bargain gold dust / diamonds, work visa, etc.) in return for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get you to willingly send them money.
