FROM THE DESK OF MR. KELVIN TOWNSMAN
OF BILL AND EXCHANGE FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPT. ABSA BANK LIMITED. P.0.Box 6005,
JOHANNESBURG 2000 SOUTH AFRICA
Good day,
I am the Director of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remittance
Department
of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA). I am writing to seek your
cooperation over this business deal. In my Department, I discovered an
abandoned sum of (US $12 Million US Dollars). In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire
family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, The account belongs
to the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of
America but naturalized in South Africa and contractor with Anglo Gold.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting
his next of kin or business associate to come and claim his money
because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation
died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the
claim.
You can read more about the crash on visiting this site;
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html it is
therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to your account as the next of
kin or business associate.
The Banking law and guideline here
stipulates that if such money remains dormant after four years; the
money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The
request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign
citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I will like us to share
this money mutually on two equal halves between me and you . Please
note that I dont have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money
due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY. I will
indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged
information and must be strictly confidential. Please reply to this,

Best Regards

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.

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.
