beneficiary to his will. He left the sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty
Thousand US Dollars (US$750,000) to you in the codicil and last
testament to his will.

Being a widely travelled man, he must have
been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him
by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Engr.Willy
Williams until his death was a former managing director and pioneer
staff of a giant construction company. He was a very devoted christian
who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards
during his life time. Late Engr. Willy Williams died on the 9th day of
February 2006 at the age of 82 years, and his Will is now ready for
execution.

According to him this money is to support your personal
endeavours and to help the poor and the needy. Please If I reach you as
I am hopeful,endeavour to get back to me as soon as possible to enable
the immediate execution of your portion of the bequest to enable earlier
disbursment by the Paying Bank. You should foward along
your

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in this e-mail have absolutely no connection with this scam!

None of the scammers use their real names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.
Whatever these scammers tell you, DON'T believe a word of it!!!

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