Dear Friend,

May I briefly introduce myself to you? I am Muhammed Sani Abacha, son of the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998. Ever since the death of my father, my family has been facing a lot of problems mostly with the present Civilian Government. Consequently, I have been under torture in detention for a sin I did not commit and made a lot of confessions as regards valuables, money inclusive that of my late father entrusted in my hand for safe-keeping. The last was my confession on the Seven Hundred Million United States Dollars cash my late father gave me for safekeeping. However, the Federal Government had claimed all the assets I mentioned when I was under detention, and presently they have seized my passport to travel outside the country, which is the reason I am making this   contact to you.

My main reason and purposes of writing you is this, I know there is a lot of fraud stars writing and scamming people, some are using the name of my family. But I am writing you in good faith, and I want you to carefully go through this massage and give me a good reply on your intentions towards the content of this email.

I do not have money at hand now neither am I able to travel outside the country, but, I have assets that worth over Five Billion united states which I have seek your kind assistance to make you the beneficiary of the above mentioned fund which some are in banks overseas and security companies, I want you to stand as my Foreign Presidential Sponsor which is after the assets are released to you, but before we should proceed, I would want you to visit me here, so to see you face to face before we proceed, I want to start my Presidential campaign by alerting the shakers and movers in Nigerian politics, therefore, I need your good reply to advise you more of my visions over this n
ote. I will make you the benefici

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.
