Hello Dear,
I
am Mr. Godwin Emefiele; I work with ZENITH BANK PLC. I am member of the
new appointed committee for the FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE. I was
directed to contact you by the Minister to urgently confirm from you if
actually you know one Peter Woo and who claim to be your business
associate/partner in Nigeria.
The said Mr. Peter Woo and
is claiming to us that you are dead and he will like to change all the
Information's that you gave to us as our bonafide beneficiary. This
development is coming now that the Ministry wants to offset all your
outstanding payments to all our legal origin beneficiaries' around the
world in which your payment file was affected.
As you may
know, the total amount in your favor is a total sum of $35 Million U.S
Dollars. We need to confirm from you if it's really true that you are
dead and if we did not hear from you it automatically means that you
are actually dead and the information passed to us by Mr. Peter Woo and
is correct before we will be able to send signal for approval of the
part-payment in accordance with section 290 Act 166 OF 2008.
You
are to contact me through my email address as soon as you receive this
message so as to know the true position of things with you so that we
would not make any mistake in remitting your out-standing payment to a
wrong person/account.
Your swift response will help this
ministry a lot. Do email me with your full particulars and direct phone
number for an easy communication, your age and occupation to this
effect in furtherance to these verifications.
Best Regards.
Hon. (Mrs.) Nnanadi Usman
The Federal Minister Finance (FMF).
PERSONAL SECRETARY: Mr. Godwin Emefiele

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.
