Dear Sir,
     Please accept my apologies if this mail does not suit your personal or business ethics ,though this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication. I am searching for a reliable person becoming a partner to my distinguished client. I think it would interest and immensely be of great benefit to work with my client who wants to invest in the stable economy of your country.
If you want to know I have one Mr. Peter Ibori (my client) is the junior brother to the Ex/governor of an oil rich state in Sudan .He is here in Ghana to protect his elder brother's fund and some of his investment in Ghana that the Sudan government in conjunction with the financial Crime Commission (EFCC) are doing every thing possible within their reach to freeze our account.
As a matter of urgency I am trying to look for a reliable person that can assist secretly to invest the fund in a joint venture business so that the fund can be transferred out of Ghana .
Already the British court has pass an order restraining him from interacting with his own assets in the UK . This latest development is giving us here course for concern because most of us know here that this is a plot to freeze all his assets he has labored to acquire over the years.
Although this issue is still in court awaiting final ruling , so to prevent this ugly incidence from degenerating in future we felt our $55,000,000 should be moved out of Ghana immediately to a save heaven for better investment. I’m also a worker in a bank and I know much about this fund. So lets join hands together so that the fund can be transferred into your account. I don’t want the management to know anything about it. I will later send you the details about the bank so that you contact them your self. I will write you a letter what to tell them.
Yours faithfully,

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

The scammers never 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.
