Subject: From Mr. Michel F. KAHN. Private Business Deal.
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:55:05 +0000 (08:55 EDT)
Hello Dear,
This
mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine
wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility.
I am
Mr. Michel F. KAHN, the managing Director of Bank of Africa (B.O.A)
Ouagadougou Burkina Faso in West Africa, with due respect and Regard, I
have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During
our investigation and auditing in this Bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to one of our deceased customer who
died on July 30th 2004 of a ghastly motor accident and the fund has
been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the
fund in our Custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development.
Although personally, I
keep this information secret to enable the whole plans and idea be
Profitable and successful during the time of execution, the said amount
is Ten Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$ 10.3m),
as it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information on my
search for a reliable partner, I contacted you to be my partner and
person to be reliable and capable to champion a business of such
magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the
arrangement to put claim over this fund as the next of kin to the
deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a
foreign account has been put in Place and directives and needed
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit yourself to this
great business opportunity, In fact I could have done this deal alone
but because of my position in this country as a civil servant and we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise
eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this
bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a
second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with
affidavit of trust of oath to the bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money tobe re-transferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted
from to your own designation bank account.
I will not
fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free, on smooth
conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 35% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be setaside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer, while 60% will be
for me, please you have been advised to keep "Top Secret" as I am still
in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this
deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation
here in this bank Until you confirm the money in your account, and ask
us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and further Investment,
either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in and
all other necessary vital information will be send to you when I hear
from you.
I suggest you get back to me As soon as
possible and also include your personal phone/mobile and fax numbers
for easy communication.
God bless you and your family.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Michel F. KAHN.
The managing Director
Bank of Africa (B.O.A)
Burkina Faso Ouagadougou.

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.
