HENRI LUARENT AZOH DIRECTOR: CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL ABIDJAN – IVORY COAST TELEPHONE – 0022547734656 EMAIL – dr.hazoh@live.fr DEAR FRIEND. LETTER FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE ON FUND TRANSFER I got your contact in our search for a foreign partner who has the ability, reliability and willingness to pursue a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business of funds transfer via a pending account. We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel (FGCRP) who are interested in investment in your country with funds which are presently trapped here in Cote D Ivoire. In other to commence this Business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the sum of US$25,500.000.00. The source of this fund is as follows: in the course of our investigation (review) of contracts awarded in the past ten (10)year, we found out that certain contracts were OVER-INVOICED to the tone above and the funds became trapped when the ministries were reshuffled without notice. However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of the panel, we cannot acquire this money in our name. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the total sum of USD$25,500,000.00 [TWENTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS]. To materialize this project, we will present you as a legal contract with the ministry of Agriculture here whose over-due contract funds are yet to be released. We will obtain all the relevant certificates/ document in this regards and then authorise the paying bank to pay your contract funds. Hence we are writing you this letter. We agreed to share the money thus: (1) 20% FOR THE ACCOUNT OWNER ( YOU ) (2) 5% TO SETTLE ANY FORM OF EXPENSES INCURED BY BOTH PARTIES IN THE PROCESS [3] 75% FOR US [ THE OFFICALS] It is from the 75% that we wish to commence investments in your country as you will also stand as our foreign agent over there. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the transaction latest seven [ 7 ] days from the date of our final agreement with you. Dear, like I did mention earlier, we are still in service and would not want any publicity in respect to this business to keep our names above board and avoid any form of implication as your confidentiality will guarantee a 100% security for us and the funds. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above email for security reasons. I will bring you into a closer picture of this pending project when I hear from you. With Kind regards, Dr Henri Luarent Azoh. NB: please remember to reply through my private email address: dr.hazoh@live.fr   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam! The scammers never use their real names.

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER 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, cheap 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.
