Good day,

I got your contact during my search for a reliable,trust worthy and honest person to introduce this transfer project with. My name is Mr.Stephen Mensah.

I am the manager of Union Togolaise de Banque Lome Togo Region Branch,BE-KPOTA . I am a Togolee married with three kids.

I am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of Three million five hundred thousand dollars (3,500.000.00) This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the last two years transactions. I have already submitted an approved End of the last two Years report for the year 2006 to my Head Office here in Lome Togo and they never know of this Excess.

I have since then, placed this amount of Three million five hundred thousand dollars (3,500.000.00) on a SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account. I intend to part 35% of this fund to you while 65% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account anywhere you feel safer.

All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. and contact me with the following information of yours as to proceed without any delay

Your Full Name.......
Your Residence Address.....
Yours Telephone/Fax Number ....

I will appreciate your timely response.

With regards,
Mr Stephen Mensah

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.
