Hello friend,

There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart
in respect to this email, coupled with the fact that so many miscreants
and mischief-makers who have taken possession of the Internet to
facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult
for genuine and real business class persons to get attention, recognition
and assistance.However,am Benkluti Patrick, I am the Personal Attorney to
ENGR.JUDE.R.Glory,a national of your country,On the 21st of April 2003, my
client was involved in a car accident.Unfortunately he lost his life.
Since then I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that
belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.

The bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $12.6million
dollars has issued me with a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I now seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin Of the deceased.

the Proceeds of this account valued at $12.6million dollars can be paid to
you subsequently to be shared among us If you agree,we can discuss your
percentage.

I have all necessary Legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.

Best Regards,
Benkuti Patrick

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of scam e-mails received each day here at 419baiter.com headquarters.

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.
