Dear friend,,
Though
I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well
at the end of the day.I decided to contact you due to the urgency of
this transaction.I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer
of a huge sum of money from a deceased account.
BUSINESS STATUS
I discovered an abandant sum
of $10.2M(ten Million Two Hundred thousand United states Dollars)
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers MR ANDREAS
SCHRANNER who died along with his entire family web site :
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm).
Since
his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay
claims to this money as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his
account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this
discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of
kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds $10.2M(ten Million Two Hundred thousand
United states Dollars) to be released in your favour as the
beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to note that Ic have
secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased
beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of my mutual
business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
1. Your Full Names and Address.
2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.
These
requirements will enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer
can be made.
I shall be compensating you with $4.9 Million Dollars
on final conclusion of this project,while the rest $5.3Million shall be
for me.
Your share stays with you while the rest shall be
for me for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you, I await your urgent email.
My regards,
Mr. Abdoullah Karim.

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.

section.
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.
