FROM MRS MARY ANJUM
PLOT 204,WILSON CLIFFORD CLOSE,
VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS,NIGERIA.

Hello,

Greetings in the name of GOD.I am the above named person from South Africa.
I am married to Dr.David Anjum, who worked with Kuwait embassy
in Nigeria.for nine years before he died in the year 2004.
We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that
lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both happily married.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$12M(Twelve Million U.S.Dollars) in a finance company. Presently, this
money is still under the safe keeping of the Finance Company here in
Nigeria.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next
three months due to my cancer problems.

Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to charitable
home or to a reliable individual that will utilize this money the way I
am going to instruct herein. I want a person that will use this fund
on orphanages and widows propagating the word of almighty GOD ..I took
this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband's relatives are not trustworthy and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by them. I don't want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.

Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of
death hence I know where I am going. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard atleast for now because of my health, since my
husband's relatives are always around me. I dont want them to know about
this development. With GOD all things arepossible. As soon as I receive
your reply I will forward your personal information to my lawyer and he
will contact you and aswell forward your personal informations to the
Finance company here in Nigeria.so that they will contact you as the
legal owner of this fund before releasing the fund into your account.

My Lawyer will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower
you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. Delay in your reply will
give me room in sourcing for another reliable individual for this same
purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

Remain blessed.
Mrs.Mary Anjum

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.

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!

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.

NOTE TO SPAMMERS: My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good but it isn't perfect. Occasionally a regular spam e-mail may get mistakenly published here as a 419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish to have your spam crap mistakenly published on this website as an advance fee scam, the solution is simple. Don't send me your spam crap.
