Dear Beloved Friend .
I’m
writing you this message from Continental Bank the economic
capital of Benin Republic, before I proceed, may I use this great
opportunity to introduce myself ,Contacting you as the Next of Kin to
one of our deceased customer.
My name is Mr.Atiku Bello, 58
years Old Man , citizen of south African Working with Continental
Bank of Benin, i am the Deputy General Manager in charge of Credit and
marketing.I am contacting you in respect of an abandoned sum of $ 5.5m
US dollars (FIVE Million FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US dollars) Dormant
since more than 5 years ago.
This abandoned sum of $
5.5m US dollars (FIVE Million FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US dollars) In an
account that belongs to one of our, foreign deceased customers,
who died along with his entire family in a plane crash.
I
shall use my position in the bank here to provide you with all the
vital informations to proceed with the transcation without any problem.
Veiw this Website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since
we got information about the death of our Bank customer from Your
Country, the Bank top officials here have been expecting his next of
kin to come up and claim the money that is left behind here in my Bank
and because we cannot release the fund unless somebody applies for the
fund as next of kin or the relation to the deceased Bank customer as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that
all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
So it is upon
this discovery from the investigation which i made in my Bank here that
I decided to contact you into this business proposal and also guide you
here for the Bank top official to release the money to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement of the whole fund in your country after the approval of
this fund in my Bank since nobody is coming up for the cliam.
The
purpose of my mail is to solicit for a willing partner to come forward
and stand as the next of kin to claim this fund. I shall provide you
with all the informations that will enable you file an application for
claim. Be sure that the Bank will grant approval based on the
informations I will provide.
I want you to act fast
because according to the law of Benin Republic, if anyone died leaving
unclaimed fund in the bank, after 5 years the fund will belong to the
state and goes to state treasuary. But the irony of the matter is that
these funds really does not go into the purse of the state but rather
its usually diverted and shared by both the powerful individuals in the
government and higher officials of the Banks.
They allocate the
funds to themselves and later use the money for their political gains
and to wage war in the sub-region. For my 10 years of service to this
bank, I have seen a lot hence I don't want this opportunity to pass me
by, and the same thing keep on repeating it self.
That was why i
agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside
for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me.As
soon as the whole fund is transfered into your foriegn nominated Bank
account in your Country i will visit your Country for the disbursement
of the fund according to the percentages indicated above.
Therefore
to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged by me
here, you must apply first to the Bank here as a cousin that is related
to the late Bank customer or the next of kin of the deceased Bank
customer in the Bank here indicating:
Your Full Name
Your Bank Name.
Your private telephone No.
Your Fax No.
This
is for easy and effective communication and also the location where in
the money will be remitted into. Please note that upon receipt of your
reply, I will immediately send to you by fax or email the text of the
next of kin application.
I will also not fail to bring to your
notice that this transaction is a hitch free business transaction and
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements on how this whole fund will be transferred into your
private nominated Bank account in your country has smoothly arranged by
me here.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best regards.
ATIKU BELLO.( Credit & Marketing Manager.).

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
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.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
