Subject: Greetings Dear ,

Greetings Dear ,
I
find it very necessary to disclose this important information to you
and to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with
you after very serious contemplation.
My name is Avelin Regato.
A complete citizen of the Philippines , widow to the late Mr Desmond
Regato who died of ulcer and he has been buried.
I
inherited some money from my late husband, this money which is
concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and
finance company in Cote D'Ivoire Due to the instruction he laid down
before he deposited the box, that he needed maximum security/safety of
my consignment and no body nor government organization can trace where
about of the box until were ready and prepare to claim it.
This
deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure. This
means that the security company does not know the content of this trunk
box.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because
of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this
priority of shipping the box of money to any address that you think are
very secure and save in your country with your percentage of which we
shall chat on soon.
In fact, since the death of my
husband, his brothers has been seriously chasing me around with
constant treats, trying to suppress me so that they might have the
documents of his landed properties and confiscate them. They have
successfully collected all his properties, yet they never stopped
there, they told me to surrender all bank account of my late husband,
which I did, but I never disclose to them this deposit with the
security company in Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire , because this is where my
future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late
husband never aware of the secret existence of this deposit which my
late husband made with the security company and they can never be aware
of it.
Out of fear of my late husband痴 family, and when
the situation becomes uncontrollable because of pressure on me from the
family, I decide to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me
retrieve this box of money from the security company for onward
lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue.
There
is need for urgent action because I'm paying $50 dollars per day as a
demurrage to the security company for safe keeping this consignment.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Mrs Avelin Regato

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
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,
bargain 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.
If you receive one of these scam mails, simply delete it as you would any other spam mails.
