Hello
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This letter may come to you as a
surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real
and you will realise this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify you about it at least for
the sake of your integrity.

My name is Major Greg Boner Moyo, a direct and only remaining member of the wealthy
Moyo family. I am an astronaut with the South African Air Force and on loan to the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

In 2003 I left earth aboard the Mars Rover, Spirit. Seven months later I arrived on Mars.
Prior to departing earth, I deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000 (Eleven million, six
hundred thousand United States dollars) in safety galvanized boxes in a African
financial institution in Cotonou Benin Republic for security reason which will be disclosed to you upon your
acceptance of my proposal.

Last year, during the course of my research on Mars, I was ambushed by a group of analdwelling
rebel Martians who inflicted great torturous pain upon my body with anal probes.
After a few weeks of enduring the physical pain, they released me. As a direct result of this
cruelty, I am now very ill with a ruptured uterus that has defiled all forms of medical treatment
and which has been deemed to be inoperable by my Martian surgeons. I am writing this mail
to you on a laptop from my hospital bed in the Martian capitol of Zhwrong.

I now have but a few weeks to live and I am far too ill to endure the long and arduous journey
back to my South Africa home. Therefore I have decided to donate the bulk of my fortune to a
church or charitable organisation that will utilize this money in the manner which I shall impart
to you later. In return for your assistance, I shall authorise you to keep 30% of this fund for
your trouble and aggravation plus an additional 10% to cover your expenses.

You should contact my attorney in Cotonou Benin Republic immediately with your address and
telephone number and he will give you his full contact information and guidance so that we
can make arrangements as soon as possible.

This is just a small sampling of the many 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.
