Dear Sir, REQUEST FOR AN URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP After due deliberation with my colleagues, I have decided to forward to you this business proposal. We want a reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($20,500,000) into his / her account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contracts awarded by us under the budget allocation to my Ministry and this bill has been approved for payment by the concerned authorities. The contract has since been executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid the actual cost of the contract. We are left with the balance US$20.5M as part of the over-invoiced amount which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. But under our protocol division, civil servants are forbidden to operate or own foreign accounts. This is why I am contacting you to be our custodian for this fund. As you may want to know and to make you less curious, I got your address from a site in the internet that portrayed you (your establishment) in good light. I am the Chief Accountant/Internal Auditor of the Contract Award Committee (C.A.C.) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This transaction is very much free from all sorts of RISKS and TROUBLE from my Government. We the N.N.P.C. Officials involved in this deal have put in many years in service to this Ministry. We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and to us, this is a life time opportunity we cannot afford to miss. You need not to worry about the responsibilities of transferring this fund into your account, because all the administrative step needed for the transfer of this fund into your designated bank account will be done by me. We have agreed to COMPENSATE you duly if agreement is reached by both of us. My colleague and I will come to your country to arrange for our share, upon the confirmation from you that the money has been credited into your nominated bank account. Consequent upon your acceptance of this proposal, kindly confirm your interest by sending me a revert email at the email account(engrabubello@engineer.com) Your indication by revert email to me of your sincere and serious interest will enable me send you the PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION.

We discovered an abandoned sum of$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen million United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family of a wife and two children in November 1997 in a Plane crash.Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we 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.Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has everappeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus;20 % for you as foreign partner,75 % for us the officials in my department and 5 % for the settlement of all local and foreign expences incurred by us and you during the course of this business.Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 75 % we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e- mail and enclose your private contact telephone number, fax number full name and address and your designated bank coordinates to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made. Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.I look forward to receiving your prompt response.

I am Olu Williams, Member of Contract Award Committee with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.

Now the contracts have been fully executed and commission and payment are about to be made to all the contractors who have successfully executed their contracts, the over invoiced sum of (US$22,500,000.00)is what we want to transfer out of our country for our own use. Unfortunately, as Civil Servants, we are not permitted by law to operate foreign accounts, this has constituted a major hindrance to our success in transferring this fund out of our country and to this end, my colleagues have mandated me to look for an honest and trust worthy foreign partner who will assist us to provide a foreign account to receive the fund on our behalf for our mutual benefit. Hence we are seeking your assistance. My colleagues and I have agreed that the owner of the account will be compensated with twenty percent (20%), of the total sum if you will stand as the beneficiary of the fund.Eighty percent (80%) for we the officials involved. Note that we have done our home work very well in our country, this transaction is safe and guaranteed 100% risk free.If you are interested please send down to us account information, so that we will immediately seek approval of the fund on your behalf from the relevant authorities,including the federal ministry of finance (F.M.F),which will allocate you and your company foreign exchange cover $22,500.000.00 for the immediate release of this fund into your account by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). We will visit you immediately we conclude the transaction to collect and invest part of our share into any viable business you may advice in your country. We will also buy industrial goods for a resale here in Nigeria. Please ensure to treat this matter in strict privacy, as we have to protect our job as Civil Servants. I await your urgent response.

(RTD) DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. Dear Partner SEEKING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. Greetings to you, I wish to seek your assistance in a project I will reveal to you shortly. My name is COL.ZAKARI BUBA of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I was a close friend of the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of Blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace. While LAURENT KABILA was still alive he secretly confided in me to take some funds abroad to keep in a secret account, which will be used to fight opposition forces back home in the Congo. He gave me Fifteen Million United States Dollars (US$15,000,000.00) cash to go with. But a day before I was schedule to travel out of Congo, we heard that President Laurent Kabila had been shot by his aide (Col. Rasheidi Karesava). After all these trouble, I couldn't travel with the funds so I decided to keep it safely in a secret vault in Congo. Since the issue of the funds was a secret between the late Head of States and myself, I couldn't tell anyone in my country for the safety of my life. I am now retired from the military and intend to live a normal life with my family I have to transfer these funds abroad because it's safety is being threatened by the series of military unrest in the country, thus I seek your assistance to provide a very suitable account. I have sufficient contacts to move the fund under Diplomatic cover to a security company in the Netherlands in your name. This is to ensure that the diplomatic baggage is marked confidential and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance. My inability to move this money out of Congo all this while lies on my lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who have suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Laurent Kabila, since his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, I know we will be able to establish all the trust that we need to ensure that the funds is safe with you. Thus,if you are willing to assist me to move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address sending your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss the modalities and what your share(percentage) for assisting me will be. I will highly appreciate it if my request is given utmost priority and consideration.

In the course of performance of my official duties disbursement of proceeds from petroleum products and award of contracts to multinational companies, my colleagues and the Finance/Contract Department of the DPR deliberately over - inflated the contract value of the various contract awards. Course of this, this department was able to track down the sum of USD 62.5m (Sixty - Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) as the over - invoiced sum. This money is now lying and floating in the NNPC domiciliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). My colleagues and I now want to quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of Government policy to operate any foreign account because of our status as civil / public servants. Hence the need to solicit for your account to transfer this fund into. We have also evolved a sharing formula as follows: (1) 30% for the foreign account owner (2) 60% for I and my colleagues. (3) 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both Locally and Internationally during the course of this transaction. Note however, that you may be required to visit Nigeria or any NNPC Offshore Office in Europe or better still, I and my colleagues may come over to your country in order to enter into a "TRUST BOND" with you.

Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work as the Director of Project Implementation, with co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$29,600,000.00 (Twenty Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. The Government of the Republic of South Africa believe that private investment in general, and foreign direct investment in particular, are the real engines for sustainable economic development, for which reason it has continued to encouraged investment in the key growth -oriented sector of Mining with sincere determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close relationship, and a mutually beneficial co-operation with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included ours bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance as the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. Details and changing of beneficiary information and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of your company or your good self. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 25% while my colleagues and I shall receive 70%, and the balance of 5% shall be use to reimburse or expenditures, taxes and miscellaneous expenses so incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields wins major contracts and subcontract same to more specialized firms for execution. This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. Also your specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this mutual beneficiary transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me by email for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal.

Valuable efforts are being made by the ECO Bank to get in touch with any of the Akmeh s family or relatives but they has been no success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. James Akmeh s next of kin (he had no known wife nor children that known to us). The management under the influence of our chairman and member of the Board of Directors retired Major General Umaru Shelling, that arrangement has been made for the funds to be declared UNCLAIMABLE and subsequently be donated to the Trust fund.

This might seem very deplorable for a person that you do not know, but as the name implies I am Miss Zainab Abacha, the daughter of late General Sanni Abacha. I got your contact from a web directory. Hence my decison to contact you. I apologise if I have infringed on your privacy. Due to the present situation here in Nigeria, as regards the special panel set up by thedemocratic administration in Nigeria under the anti-corruption law passed mainly to recover what they termed Abacha s looted money . This law is yet another smear campaign aimed mainly to frustrate, humiliate, dismember and widen the scope of hatred to our family. It has been become a personal vendetta by President Obasanjo who was jailed by my father s Government for plotting a coup d etat against his administration. This highly calculated attempt by this administration cum Swiss government through bi-lateral relationship has taken away from us over US$1.4billion in Switzerland. The rampaging situation in our accounts abroad has yielded to the barbaric pressure and just last month we were squished out of another US$395m and all this funds can be ascertained independently. You may wish to confirm this from a leading newspaper in Nigeria (This Day) from their website at WWW.THISDAYONLINE.COM from the ARCHIVE section in the JUNE 11 2002, FEBRUARY 21 2002, JANUARY 26 2002, MARCH 10,2001, editions. This government is bent on destroying our family. Also, my elder brother (Mohammed), heir apparent to the family fortune is languishing in prison. Therefore, I am soliciting for genuine partners that I can invest the family fortune that is scattered all over the world. The reason I am contacting you, is to seek you immediate assistance in moving and safekeeping of US$22,500,000. This money has been in a basement of one of our secret houses in our neighboring country (Benin Republic). Recently, the caretaker of the house informed me that suspected members of the Security Service visited the house. This is why moving this money is a matter of urgency. I have made arrangements for immediate movement of the trunk containing the money to a Private Security Company in Holland. I intend to siphon the funds through your assistance for the purpose of investment in areas of your interest, contact me as a handsome reward of 10% of the total sum awaits you subject to our agreement. You can contact me via e-mail for security reason for further details. Then I can inform my personal attorney presently in London to contact and give you further instructions. In the event of you not being interested in this proposal, endeavor to keep this highly confidential. I await your prompt response. Sincerely, Zainab Abacha From gramako44@netscape.net Mon, 4 Nov 2002 02:06:47 From: "GRAHAM MAKO" To: Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 02:06:47 -0500 FROM:GRAHAM MAKO Good day, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is that I am Graham Mako, the first son of Zuma Mako one of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father s money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above E-mail address,while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. NOTE:YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED. Thanks, GOD BLESS Yours Faithfully, Mr Graham Mako. From mbba.abacha1@caramail.com Mon, 4 Nov 2002 06:10:52 From: "abba abacha" To: Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE URGENT &CONFIDENTIAL.

I am Abba Abacha, the second surviving son of the late General Sanni Abacha, Nigeria's former Military Head of State who died on the 8th of June, 1998 of Cardiac Arrest. Since the death of my Father both the immediate, past and incumbent Government of my Country, Nigeria, have been persecuting my family. The present Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo have turned the klieglight of investigations into the actvities of my family. The Government have directed all the Banks in my Country to freeze the accounts belonging to my family and our numerous Business concerns of my Mother and Uncles have also been closed down and my immediate elder brother was arrested by the Nigerian Governmentand has just been released from detention not quite long ago, while all our foreign Bank Accounts have been freezed aided by a publication in the FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON OF FRIDAY 23RD JULY, 1999, though my Father is not the only past Official accused of having money in foreign Banks. I am therefore using this medium to solicit for your assistance. Your Business profile and name were given to me in confidence by the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Foreign Trade Division). The information regarding the viability of your Business concern gingered me into soliciting for your help. Now, since the present Government of my Country is hell-bent on prosecuting, disgracing the good name and image of my entire family and possibly doing more damages to our financial base, I am therefore desirous of handling over the remains of my Father's Money US$36 Million (Thirty-six Million United States Dollars Only) which is presently SAFELY and SECRETLY kept in CODED CASH in a Security Company outside my Country to evade confiscation by the Nigerian Government or its Agents. Please, if you are interested in helping my family move this money into your private or Company Account, kindly inform me through my E- mail addresses above. After the movement of this huge sum of money out of its secret place into your Country, I plan to give you 20% of the total sum and 10% would be set aside to take care of all incidental expenses, while 30% will be plunged into your Business concern as shares or for high profile investment purposes in your Country. Then, the rest 40% shall be used to settle my entire family who have reached advanced stage of emigrate to your Country for political asylum. For your information my dear grief stricken mother has the blessing of this Business transaction. It is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust and I would also kindly appeal that you keep this proposed transaction with TOP SECRET. Your immediate response will be appreciated and all machineries concerning this transaction will be swung into action. Thanks. Yours Faithfully, Mr. Abba Abacha.

Bank Manager of Diamond Bank of Nigeria, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1997, a Foriegn Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian government , Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, Isent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,the Ministry of trade and commerce that Mr.Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old man s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/ administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address of this message. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via my email. Thanks and regards. Mr.Baldwin Onuigbo.

From rolandkwako009@email.com Mon Feb 10 19:20 MET 2003 From: "Roland Kwako" Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 19:20:56 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: Important ATTENTION: THE PRESIDENT/CEO RE: TRANSFER OF US$16,500,000.00 AMERICAN DOLLARS ONLY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. I, on behalf of my other colleagues from Government Constituted Review panel with the Ministry of Minerals & Energy here in South Africa, decided to solicit your assistance as regards transfer of the above-mentioned amount into your account. Note that these funds emanated from unclaimed contractual proceeds of contracting firms who could not meet their obligation to their creditors. Consequently, these firms went bankrupt and total liquidation. We as holders of sensitive positions in our various parastetals and were mandated by the government to scrutinize all payment made to certain foreign contractors and we discovered that some of the contractors have not been paid their contractual entitlement which collectively left an amazing sum of US$21,500,000.00(Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) lying in a suspense Account. However, from our extensive investigation we discovered that the foreign beneficiary companies have since been liquidated and no longer existing for some years which motivated our intention, knowing fully well that our operation would be exceedingly smooth and completely safe for all parties concerned. We have agreed on this side that the said amount would be transferred (for our own use) into a Bank account provided by a reliable foreign firm/associate, because we are serving government workers and the Civil Service Code does not allow us to operate foreign Account/Company. Following our intention to carry out this laudable project expediently we however, succeed in transferring part of this (money) precisely US$5M (Five Million US Dollars) only into a foreign Bank Account in Lebanon, but the provider of the account is up to some mischief and refused to comply with our earlier mutual agreement insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before disbursement will take effect. We thus, believed and concluded that if in the first successful transfer of US$5M (Five Million US Dollars) we are not compensated how then are we sure that when the balance of USD16.5M (Sixteen-Million Five hundred Thousand US Dollars) is transferred into his account that we will be sure of our due compensation. In the light of the foregoing, we are therefore seeking your assistance so that the remaining amount of US$16,500,000 can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated Bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be compensation with 15% of the amount for your valuable assistance and cooperation. So far, much have been said and due to our sensitive positions, we can not afford a slip in this transaction neither can we give our identities as regards our respective offices, but were relationship is confidently established and smooth operations commences, you will be furnished with all you deserve to know. I am disposed to entertain any questions from you with respect to this transaction. Please contact me immediately through these Email addresses: rolandkwako@netscape.net for further information on the requirements and procedure of this transaction. Treat with strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency. Yours faithfully, Roland Kwako From 010178@hotmail.com Mon Feb 10 19:38 MET 2003 From: "DR.

GUARANTEE TRUST INT'L BANK OF NIGERIA 9TH FLOOR, GODAX TOWER, STANDARD BANK CENTER, OGUI ROAD, NIGERIA. February 7, 2003 Attn: The President/CEO I am Dr. Tunde Olaniyi, Provincial Director Guarantee Trust International Bank PLC, Enugu Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1998, an foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian Mining Corporation, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty - Six Million five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian Mining Corporation that the foreigner died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the foreigner did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$36,500,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my private email address dr_tundeolaniyi@hotmail.com. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply. Thanks and regards. DR. TUNDE OLANIYI.

(RTD) Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 00:02:42 +0900 (KST) FROM: COL.Bekele Patrick. (RTD) DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. Dear Partner SEEKING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. Greetings to you, I wish to seek your assistance in a project I will reveal to you shortly. My name is COL. Bekele Patrick of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I was a close friend of the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of Blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace. While LAURENT KABILA was still alive he secretly confided in me to take some funds abroad to keep in a secret account, which will be used to fight opposition forces back home in the Congo. He gave me Fifteen Million United States Dollars (US$15,000,000.00) cash to go with. But a day before I was schedule to travel out of Congo, we heard that President Laurent Kabila had been shot by his aide (Col. Rasheidi Karesava). After all these trouble, I couldn't travel with the funds so I decided to keep it safely in a secret vault in Congo. Since the issue of the funds was a secret between the late Head of States and myself, I couldn't tell anyone in my country for the safety of my life. I am now retired from the military and intend to live a normal life with my family I have to transfer these funds abroad because it's safety is being threatened by the series of military unrest in the country, thus I seek your assistance to provide a very suitable account. I have sufficient contacts to move the fund under Diplomatic cover to a security company in the Netherlands in your name. This is to ensure that the diplomatic baggage is marked confidential and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance. My inability to move this money out of Congo all this while lies on my lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who have suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Laurent Kabila, since his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, I know we will be able to establish all the trust that we need to ensure that the funds is safe with you. Thus,if you are willing to assist me to move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address sending your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss the modalities and what your share(percentage) for assisting me will be. I will highly appreciate it if my request is given utmost priority and consideration.

This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr .Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black Farmers and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed Because of this Land reform Act for which my father Mr"johnson Stevels was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and I currently staying in the Netherlands in a village called Zealand, where my family are seeking political asylum and more so I have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a business man, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. However"If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa .But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you" Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into Partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.

In the year 2001 huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by my government for the successful hosting of the Miss world beauty pageant for the year 2002, which eventually was shifted to London owing to the religious unrest in Abuja, Nigeria where the contest was initially bill to take place.However,before the shift, Cross River State Nigeria hosted, the 92 beauty queen during the first stage of the competition. Miss Turkey was eventually crown the Winner in London. However, in my capacity as the Commisioner of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, and a member of both local organizing committee (LOC) , my colleagues and I in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of the contract, for the supply and installation of some of the equipment that where suppose to have been used for the contest. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to give us 10% of the total contract sum, if we were able to influence the award of the contract in their favour. Other foreign firms bided for this same contract, but we were able to influence the board to award the contract to the firm we had this agreement with. This contract was successfully executed by the firm ,and they have been paid 90% of their total contract sum, remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not fulfil their promise. It is pertinent to note that, the remaining balance of Eight million,seven hundred thousand united states dollars (US$8,700,000.00) is lying in the suspense account of the First Chartered Bank Lagos, ready for transfer into an oversea account. I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public servants.

From davsavimbi1@rediffmail.com Fri Feb 14 02:37 MET 2003 From: "davsavimbi1@rediffmail.com" Date: vr, 14 feb 2003 02:36:57 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE. Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I also sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction, which I propose to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Jomo David Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, I selected your email address from an internet directory, in my search for a partner, hence this proposal. My Uncle(Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, due to lack of the Charisma my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there was chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle's death. As I lost my mentor in this struggle which has been on for three decades now, not so much of this struggle interests me anymore, as there is now no sense of direction. I now desire a peaceful life, as I am no more interested in conflicts and wars. For this reason, I secretly left Angola and came here (Holland) to seek p! olitical asylum. I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), which was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit security company here in Amsterdam, Holland in February when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now for security reasons, and have now deicded to act with your reliable assistance. As a matter of fact, the reason I came to Holland and sought for political asylum here is the safe deposit. President Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done this in Angola. Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also I did not declare the funds to the here. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy. Your role in this project, is clearing the safety deposit containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the Security company, after which, the money will lodged into an account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application in this country is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the consignment containing the funds, which will be used for claim from the security company, and the release codes of the vaults. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response. I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part.

When the wife died on the 21ST October 1994, Mr. Sayeed took his family so special because they are all he had and that was when he made the proclamation. Before the death of Mr. Sayeed on the 29th November 2000 in a private hospital here in Nigeria, He sincerely called me by his bed side and called my attention to the deposit which I helped made with our company and told me that he kept this money for the future of his children. He also explained in details to me that it was because of this wealth and connections with the Nigerian top governmental officials that his business associates poisoned him. He pleaded that I should assist his family seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where the funds will be transferred for investment purposes, I rejected the offer initially due to the fact that the ethics of the Finance House here in Nigeria does not allow a staff to emba! rk on any private arrangement to transfer funds from the company with a customer. But the consistency of he children as their father's friend to assist them, I decided to take up to assist them to save their future. I want you to assist us in securing this fund into your overseas account as a beneficiary of the fund for the future of this kids are a stake.

Garuba is now a Medical Student in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Nnewi Campus and Ibrahim is studying engineering in Federal University of Science and Technology Owerri. As a result of this, the perceived family of the deceased decided to involve me officially after their father's death in the business to look for an International investor who will invest the money abroad due to the fact that they are still small children to embark on such business adventures. I am personally promising to assist you to my utmost ability to see that the funds reached you in safe hands and seen that all official documents are well arraigned and conveyed to you with due respect to this funds.

KENNETH BRYAN From afd_savimbi@rediffmail.com Sat Feb 15 07:31 MET 2003 From: "ALFRED SAVIMBI" Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2003 07:30:48 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past,I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I also sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Alfred Savimbi,I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, I selected your email address from an internet directory, in my search for a partner, hence this email. My Uncle(Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, due to lack of the Charisma my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there was chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle's death. As I lost my mentor in this struggle which has been on for three decades now, not so much of this struggle interests me anymore, as there is now no sense of direction. I now desire a peaceful life, as I am no more interested in conflicts and wars. For this reason, I secretly left Angola and came here (Holland) to seek p! olitical asylum. I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), which was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit security company here in Amsterdam, Holland in February when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now for security reasons, and have now deicded to act with your reliable assistance. As a matter of fact, the reason I came to Holland and sought for political asylum here is the safe deposit. President Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done this in Angola. Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also I did not declare the funds to the here. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy. Your role in this project, is clearing the safety deposit containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the Security company, after which, the money will lodged into an account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application in this country is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the consignment containing the funds, which will be used for claim from the security company, and the release codes of the vaults. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response. I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part.

I have urgent and Very confidential business proposition for you. In February 28, 1998, an Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will want you as a Foreigner to stand as the next of kin. I am writing you because as a public servant (Manager with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1m. I therefore want to present you as the next of kin (the rightful owner of the fund) so that you can be able to claim it with the help of an accredited attorney. Finally, I urge you to provide immediately your full names, phone/fax numbers and your current mailing address so as to enable us commence the paperwork that will present you as the rightful beneficiary (next of kin) of the fund. As soon as the money is transferred to you 70% is for me while 20% is for you. Please reply immediately via my Email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand this hitch free (risk free) transaction. Thanks and God bless.

It is a pleasure involving you in this project. Although, this may sound strange but I seek your indulgence and pray you view it seriously. Two years ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$14.3Million. This was done delibrately. The over invoicing was a deal by my commitee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is in a suspense account with the MEMR into any oversea account which we expect you to provide for us. For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred by both parties during course of transfer, while the remaining 60%will be for my partners and myself. I would require the following: 1)Bank details ( Name and address / Account no/Beneficiary name ) 2)Private Telephone and Fax number of Beneficiary The above information would be used to make formal application as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this of this nature described here, the assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections, top government contacts at the South Africa Reserve Bank and Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our connection withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity. Please contact me immediately through my above Telephone or email contact, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, send the required informations aforementioned herein without delay as time is of essence in this business.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Sodindo Malinga, the first son of Tawanda Malinga,the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investmentment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number or my E-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Sodindo Malinga.

I am the manager of bills and exchange of the Foreign Operations Department of Union bank International.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10,000,000.00 belonging to one of our customer Engr. JOHN LONG who was on contract with Shell Petroleum Development Company .On the 21st of April 1997,our customer, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly car accident along Lekki Pennisula express way,all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then the bank through the registrars department have made several enquiries and attempts at his embassy to locate any of his immediate or extended relatives;this has proved unsuccessful.After several unsuccessful attempts,i decided to contact you. Upon this discovery i and two other officials in the department now decided to establish this business relationship with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into the banks account as unclaimed bill.The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that any dormant account after six years will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. Since we have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 5 years,we therefore seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,and the amount in his account valued at 10million dollars be released to you and shared between us in the ratio 60% to us,30%to you and the balance 10% will be set aside for any miscellenous expenses that might arise.I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back the claim.

Abubakar Alhadji Law Firm Attorneys/legal Practitioner Nigeria. Dear friend, Compliments of the season. Grace and peace and love from this part of the atlantic to you. I hope my letter does not cause you too much embarrassment as i write to you in good faith based on your profile i received from the chamber of commerce here in Nigeria. Please excuse my intrusion into your private life. I am barrister Abubakar Alhadji i represent Mohammed Abacha, son of the late gen. Sani Abacha, who was the former military head of state in Nigeria. He died in 1998. Since his death, the family has been losing a lot of money due to vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with the family. Based on this therefore, the family has asked me to seek for a foreign partner who can work with us as to move out the total sum of us$75,000,000.00 ( seventy five million united states dollars ), presently in their possession. This money was of course, acquired by the late president and is now kept secretly by the family. The Swiss government has already frozen all the accounts of the family in switzerland, and some other countries would soon follow to do the same. This bid by some government officials to deal with this family has made it necessary that we seek your assisitance in receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family. This must be a joint venture transaction and we must all work together. Since this money is still cash, extra security measures have been taken to protect it from theft or seizure, pending when agreement is reached on when and how to move it into any of your nominated bank accounts. I have personally worked out all modalities for the peaceful conclusion of this transaction. The transaction definitely would be handled in phases and the first phase will involve the moving of us$25,000,000.00( Twenty five million united states dollars ). My clients are willing to give you a reasonable percentage of this money as soon as the transactionis concluded. I will, however, based on the grounds that you are willing to work with us and also all contentious issues discussed before the commencement of this transaction. You may also discuss your percentage before we start to work. As soon as i hear from you, i will give you all necessary details as to how we intend to carry out the whole transaction. Please, do not entertain any fears,as all necessary modalities are in place, and i assure you of all success and safety in this transaction.

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. We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your discreteness and ability in a transaction of this nature and in respect of the publication with the guardian newspaper dated, 02/02/00. Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am STEVE BENSON, CREDIT OFFICER, with the Union Bank of Nigeria, Plc, Lagos. I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. THE PROPOSITION: A foreigner, Late DR D. VULYSTEKE an Oil Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death months ago in the Kenyan Airways (A310-300) Flight KQ431, banked with us here at Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos and had a closing account balance as at the end of July, 2000 worth US$7M (seven million United States Dollars) only, which the Bank nowexpects a next of kin to claim as beneficiary. Valuable efforts have been made by the Union Bank of Nigeria (UBN) Plc to get in touch with any of the VULYSTEKE's family or relatives but to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late DR D. VULYSTEKE's next of kin (he had no wife nor children that is known to us). The management, under the influence of our Chairman and members of the board of Directors, have arranged for the funds to be declared Unclaimable and subsequently be donated to a special government Trust Fund. In order to avert this negative development, my partner and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to Late DR D. VULYSTEKE. So that the funds US$7M would be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary/next of kin. All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. We have secured from the Probate Registry an order of mandamus as it now stands and more so we are assuring you that this business is 100% hitch free. Your share stays while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues for investment purpose. According to agreement between both parties. As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of receipt of the message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, we would furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio suitable for both parties. If this proposal is acceptable to you, then kindly contact me immediately via email before we proceed. Please furnish me with your most confidential Telephone/Fax number so I that can call you and we can discuss further on this. Please feel free to send all your correspondence to my mail box.

The purpose of my introduction is that I am Simon Muzenda the son of Paul Muzenda , a farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine partner thatcould assist me without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.

I had to send the message straightaway because of the short time involved in what I demand of you. Please treat this message with utmost seriousness and swiftness. Apart from the fact that you will be adequately rewarded, I will forever show my gratitude. I am Mr. Aroujo Tao Savimbi, son of the late Angolan Leader Jonas Savimbi who was killed last year. I got your contact details from the internet because I really have no time and I needed an anonymous person abroad whom I hope I can trust. I pray I am not making wrong judgement by coming to you. Jonas Savimbi deposited a large sum of money with a security vault in Europe that is my late fathe. The movement of members of his family (including me) is restricted. Our movement are monitored but I have managed to enter South Africa where I intend to lie very low until I complete this transaction with you. Other members of my family and I do not have access to any of these deposits with banks in Angola and Europe so you can see how desperately we need your assistance. Both government officials and fraudulent relatives are trying to get their hands on my father's wealth by claiming that the wealth was gotten through arms smuggling and illegal sale of diamonds. You can find out more about my late father by checking this profile at URL below: http://www.rte.ie/news/2002/0223/angola.html http://www.rnw.nl/humanrights/html/vitoria1020814.html http://www.zzam.org/Full/Africa/Angola/History/Angola_History_Leaders. His wealth is estimated to be over US$1billion and my mother, being the only one with some of the documents has aided me to sneak into South Africa refugee Camp and conclude this transaction with any one I choose. I have spoken with the security company and the operations manager has agreed to release the two trunk boxes in their possession to whomever's name I issue a power of attorney as the new beneficiary of the deposit. This security company has US$50,000,000.00 each and precious materials which my father lodged in their safe keep in Europe before his death so I will give you their contact and relevant documents including power of attorney to allow you access to the two trunk boxes of money. The whole idea is for you to receive this money physically, set up bank accounts in Europe and transfer in bits into your home bank accounts before my government even knows what is happening. My father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death. You must follow my instructions as stated above the transfer of the funds because it will be difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individuals account moreso, when you have no prior relationship with us. I am currently and temporarily living in South Africa refugee camp and I will be communicating with you on a satellite phone and GSM to avoid intervention by the authorities. We have to keep this transaction very secret because of the political situation in Angola at the moment. I shall send you a password and information that will include power of attorney and the contact of the security company as soon as you are ready to proceed. Could you please send your full names, address, confidential telephone and fax number to enable me issue a power of attorney to you and refer you to the security company in Amsterdam for immediate payment.

HARARE-ZIMBABWE. INVESTMENT INQUIRY (strictly confidential). Dear Sir, I am Mrs. Ethel .U. Mboweni, a Zimbabwean and the wife of Chief Samuel Bothawena, a known farmer and the High Chief of Bulawya Town in Zimbabwe. I write on behalf of the Mboweni family, to enquire if you are available and have the facility to assist my family undertakes some capital investment in your country. It will be necessary to inform you that the funds (US$11.5M) intended for capitalization of the investments are presently in the custody of a private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa, which we require to transfer out of South Africa immediately for the said investment purposes. You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe orchestrated by the unprecedented land use act of the government of Robert Mugabe in which his government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by the white farmers in the country. The ensuing struggles and strife have brought about the killing and imprisonment of thousands of these white farm owners by the ruthless government forces designated to enforce this new order. My husband, in his good will and capacity as the High Chief of Bulawya Town, joined the international community in condemning and speaking out against this uncivilized and bizarre policy of Robert Mugabe's government. As a result of my husband firm and up right position on this matter, a group of assailants suspected to be government sympathizers attacked and killed my husband in cold blood on September last year. Seeing, that the entire Mboweni family, was in serious threat of extinction, we immediately flied Zimbabwe to Swaziland and South Africa. Prior however, to my husband's intimate death, he had, sensing the rising hostilities of the government of Robert Mugabe, sold all his farm lands including those of his white farmer associates who had transferred ownership of their farm lands to my husband to forestall the government acquiring them. Unfortunately, these white farmer associates of my husband have also been assassinated in the crisis. My husband secretly sent the proceeds (US$11.5M) from sales of the farm lands to South Africa, a neighboring sister country and had deposited the sum in a metal box were declared as family valuables to the security company. The ownership of this "depository" is now transferred to my son by title, following my husband death. Having seen your contact information from my husband's private study, we now contacted you for immediate assistance in lifting the funds out of South Africa for the said investments. It will interest you to note that we have this while articulated the needful arrangement through which the transfer will be affected. My family will be willing to offer you 20% of the money and 2% regarding any expensice incurred by you during this transaction. Kind contact my son on his e-mail, bothawena@contact.com.my upon receipt of this letter for execution details and other necessary discussion. In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance I remain. Yours sincerely, Mrs. Ethel .U. Mboweni.

I was ordered to make this proposal of request to you by His ExcellencyYahaya A.J.J Jammeh after a careful study of your country's list of Chambers of Commerce available at the Presidency in The Gambia. His excellency has recommended that US$68.2Million be transferred to a foreign account in his name, this fund is an accumulated sum of money from overdrafted vouchers meant for the purchase and maintainance of Military wares/equipments at various Military Barracks and Depots accross the country, however the fund has been referred to The Gambia Payment Centre Office in The Netherlands as Contract payment to Foreign Contractors whose names appeared on priority list for over due payment of contract sum long completed, following the directive from the World Bank, Paris Club and the International Monetary Fund (I.M.F) on our demand for soft loan, that we must first pay all debt owed foreign contractors, before we can be given Loan.

In the year 2001 huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by my government for the successful hosting of the Miss world beauty pageant for the year 2002, which eventually was held in Alexandra Palace London.The contest originally scheduled for Nigeria was mired in controversy. It sparked off bloody riots in a section of the country forcing the organiser to shift the venue of the event to London .However,before the shift, Cross River State Nigeria hosted the 92 beauty queen during the first stage of the competition. Miss Turkey AZRA AKIN was eventually crown the Winner in London. However, in my capacity as the Commisioner of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, and a member of both local organizing committee (LOC) , my colleagues and I in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of the contract, for the supply and installation of some of the equipment that where suppose to have been used for the contest. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to give us 10% of the total contract sum, if we were able to influence the award of the contract in their favour. Other foreign firms bided for this same contract, but we were able to influence the board to award the contract to the firm we had this agreement with. This contract was successfully executed by the firm ,and they have been paid 90% of their total contract sum, remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not fulfil their promise. It is pertinent to note that, the remaining balance of Eight million,seven hundred thousand united states dollars (US$8,700,000.00) is lying in the suspense account of the First Chartered Bank Lagos, ready for transfer into an oversea account. I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public servants. On the successful remittance of the fund (US $8,700,000.00) into your nominated account, for your kind assistance you will be adequately compensated. Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the successful transfer of this fund have been worked out. All we require from you is your cooperation. This transaction is 100% risk free. We kindly request that you accord it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly appreciated and kindly provide your phone and fax number for further information. Upon your acknowledgement of this proposal, I will forward to you the detailed procedure for this transaction. Note that, this transaction is legal and free from all sorts of risk and trouble. It does not contravene the laws of my country nor any International laws; hence the whole approval for the transfer will be official and legally processed. This transaction will be concluded within five (5) working days if we follow it up and give the serious attention it deserves. Awaiting your prompt response. Best Regards, Marwa Buba.

Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa. I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I got your particulars through a consultant company base on my research for a trustworthy and established person that understands investment ethic for entering into a life time profitable joint partnership investment and also co-operation with confidence and trust that you will keep the contents secret and not divulged to any third party. To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company\'s vault ! for safe keeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage. Consequently, in our bide to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the former president of the Federal Republic of Zaire, who died of illness after he was de-throwed in the same year the consignment was entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client President Mobutou Seseseko, none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as treasurer by our client actually contained a considerable am! ount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$40 million Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as head of state. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no race to this money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of nigeria to your country for immediate investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 30% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy cl! earance and transfer of the complete funds to your country. you have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation. This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter. Please reply to the above email address with your telephone and fax so can call you. Thanks. Yours faithfully.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Victor Ikesa, the first son of Gani Ikesa, a popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as family treasure to avoid much demurrage and tax from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number or my E-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law in your country. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU. Yours Faithfully, Victor Ikesa.

Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Nigeria. I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safekeeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage. Consequently, in our bide to contact this client to come and redeem the demurrage which this consignment had accumulated, we discovered that our client was the former president of the Federal Republic of Zaire, Who died of brief illness after he was de-throwed in the same Year the consignment was entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client President Mobutu Seseseko, none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that none of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as family treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to US$35 million Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as head of state. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no trace to this money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of Nigeria to your country to immediate investment with your assistant. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 30% of the total and 65% will be for me and my colleagues while 5% will be for any offset. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country. Secondly, I will arrange for the consignment already labeled as family treasure to be Lifted by diplomatic means to our security company's correspondence in Europe, America or in Asia where I will meet with you.

WOO CHONG CHINA TRUST COMMERCIAL BANK. NAN KAN BRANCH, TAIWAN REPUBLIC OF CHINA I am Mr. Woo Chong, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan branch, Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith Lawrence died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Smith Lawrence did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Now Mr. Antonio Dembo who was my Uncle's second in command, has assumed office as leader of UNITA. In spite of this, UNITA is like a herd of cattle without shepherd. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado are still lobbying to oust him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who see me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr. Dembo, are planning to kill me. For more information check www.angola.org However, I am a young man who has ambitions and I am not in any way interested in wars, this is why I secretly left Angola and come Netherlands to seek political asylum I am sincerely seeking for your urgent help in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$28.5million us Dollars), was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account. It was on transit with a safe deposit company here in Amsterdam-De-Netherlands, when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. As a matter of fact, this is the reason I chose to come to Netherlands, to seek political asylum. It is very clear with the way things are now, that President Dos Santos will lobby the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, since he has already done this in Angola. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Please, treat this contact with utmost secrecy and confidentiality for security and safety reasons. The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the money from the security company, after which, it will be deposited in an account in your name, with my name as next of kin. The money shall remain in your custody till my asylum application is granted, and I have the permit to conduct business, then you will transfer the account to me. Meanwhile, the money can be invested into risk-free profitable ventures, and there will an agreement to protect my interest. I have all the documents that will enable you claim the consignment from the security company. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 20% the money, and we shall use 5% to carry out every expenses that we come across, 70% for investment ,which I shall give you the post of of the director. The remainder of the 5%, shall be given to a charity of your choice. I thank you in advance in anticipation for your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part. Sincerely, JOSE SAVIMBI From mbowenilizzy@netscape.net Thu Mar 20 00:37 MET 2003 From: "ELIZABETH MBOWENI" Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 00:37:21 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: ELIZABETH FROM: AMSTERDAM-NETHERLANDS TEL: +31 630560171 EMAIL- mbowenilizzy@netscape.net Dear friend, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am the first daughter of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD7.Million (seven million United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe when he introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. it is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South Africa for fear of our lives. After which I traveled to the Netherlands and I am currently staying in the Netherlands where i am seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. Since the law of Europe prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of European Union. As the eldest child of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future. Both countries have similar political history. I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the security company to clear the Consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 2% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 88% will be for my investment in your country. Contact with my email- while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Best regards, TEL: +31 630560171 NOTE: ON YOUR INABILITY TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION RESPOND TO ME AND INFORM ME SO I CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

I am writing to seek your assistance and partnership with me to handle a very confidential transaction which involves the transfer of huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Union Bank to get in touch with any of his family or relatives but all have proved to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any of late the Engineer's next of kin ( he had no wife and children) that the management under the influence of our chairman, Board of Director, RtdMajor General Kalu Uke Kalu, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be donated to the Trust Fund for arms and ammunition which will further enhance the perpetration of war in Africa and the third world in general. Myself in conjunction with a trusted colleague here in the bank now seek your permission to stand as Manfred Becker's next of kin so that the fund can be subsequently be transfered into you bank account as the beneficiary. All documents and proof to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement.

From bulawa2000@netscape.net Mon Mar 24 01:28 MET 2003 From: "BULAWA MULETE" Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 01:28:24 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: mutual business Good Day, With warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Bulawa Mulete Jr, the son of Zhiri Mulete, a farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution and infact to his political party members and my father though black was the treasury of the farmers association and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support the president's idea. He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm and burn down everything in the farm. They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm. After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father handed us over the WILL documents with instructions from my father that we should leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him. The WILL documents has a certificate of deposit, confirming a cash deposit totaling twelve million five hundred thousand united state dollars. [$12.5m] Kept in custody for us in a security company unknown to the company that the content is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings.This money was deposited with this Private Security Company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana.This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe to Holland with the help of my father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from Australia also a farmer who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family following this ugly development I have tried to reach him but all to no avail. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum is because the security company from Zimbabwe has a branch here in Holland, I have contacted them to move the safe deposit from their office in Harare here to their office here in Holland, which they have done since. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred,and who can front me as the beneficiary inorder to help me claim the Consignment hence this proposal to you.You must understand that this decision taken by me is a very big and brave one, and it entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transferred from Zimbabwe to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 25% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here or in your country, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 5 % of this money for all kinds of expenses that may come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 25% for your moral and financial assistance then the balance will be left in the account for me, which I may follow you to your country for investment purposes. Please, I want you to maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction.You can reach me on this mobile phone number most of the time on 0031 613866335 I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.

I am 25 years old and a graduate of Mass Communication. My father was the king of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil producing area in Nigeria. He was in charge of reviving royalties from the multi-national oil companies and government on behalf of the oil producing communities in Nigeria. After the hanging of the Ogoni Nine(9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late dictator General Sani Abacha, my father suffered stroke and died in August27th this year. But before his death, he called me and told me he has Twenty Three Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars (USD23,560,000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited in a Security vault company here.He advised me not to tell anybody except my mother who is the last wife of the (8) eight wives! that he married. My mother did not bear any male child for him. Which implies that all my father s properties, companies e.t.c., we have no share in them because my mother has no male child according to African Tradition. My father therefore secretly gave me all the relevant documents of the said money, and told me that I should use this money with my mother and my younger sisters because he knows that tradtionally, if he dies we cannnot get anything, as inheritance. He importantly advised me that I should seek foreign assistannce and that I should not invest this money here in Nigeria because of his other wives and male children who happen to be my elders. I am soliciting for your immediate assistance to get a Bungalow for us, where I will live with my mother and two younger sisters and further advise me where and how I will invest the balance money overseas, possibly on products of your company and other profitable ventures.I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this money out of Nigeria to any country of your choice where we can invest this money judiciously with you. You are entitled to a reasonable part of this money based on our agreement, and God will bless you as you help us.PLease reply through my e-mail Looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.Regards.Princess Grace Abonime From simonmuzenda@usa.com Wed Mar 26 19:47 MET 2003 From: Simon Muzenda Subject: Urgent Assistance Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 19:47:55 +0100 +31 630-359-505 CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally.The purpose of my introduction is that I am Simon Muzenda,the son of Paul Muzenda a farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father,he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 million (Eight million,Five Hundred thousand United States dollars),in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers,and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that,I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account.since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands,As the eldest son of my father,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future,both countries have similar political history.As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands,I must let you know that this transaction is risk free.If you accept to assist me and my family all I want you to do for me,is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.Whichever the option you want,feel free to notify me.I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country.Contact me with the above e-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks,GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Simon Muzenda. From savkel39@netscape.net Thu Mar 27 05:09 MET 2003 From: "savkel39@netscape.net" Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 05:09:57 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: Assistance. Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Kelvin Chuli Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, I selected your email address from an internet directory, in my search for a partner, hence this email. I also crave your indulgence to read this carefully, and have a general overview of my situation. My Uncle (Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, due to lack of the Charisma my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there was chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle's death. As I lost my mentor in this struggle that has been on for three decades now, not so much of the struggle interested me anymore, as there was no more sense of direction. I then desired a peaceful life, as I am no more int! erested in conflicts and wars. For this reason, I secretly left Angola and came here (Holland) to seek for political asylum. I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), which was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit security and Finance company here in Amsterdam-Holland .In February last year when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now for security reasons, and have now decided to act with your reliable assistance. As a matter of fact, the reason I came to Holland and sought for political asylum here is the safe deposit with the Security Company. President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done this in Angola. Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also I did not declare the funds to the here. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy. Your role in this project, is clearing the safety deposit containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the Security company, after which, the money will lodged into an account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application in this country is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the consignment containing the funds, which will be used for claim from the security company, and the release codes of the vaults. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response. I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part.

I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains. I am Sambro savimbi, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of febuary 2002.I managed to get your contact details through "The World Business Journal", a journal of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I was desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business. My late father, Jonas savimbi was able to deposit a large sum of money in differnt banks in Europe.My father is presently dead and the movement of his family members (including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our localities. Presently, the US$8,500,000.00 EIGHT MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS my father transfered to Netherlands is safe in a security firm. Before you can get access to it I have to give you the password. I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money transfered into your account.Before my government get wind of this fund. You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death. My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially when such an individual has no relationship,I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in nertherlands. I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my family. My brother has a temprorary refugee status'in The Netherlands. Moreover the political climate in Angola at the moment being so sensitive and unstable. With this password and information I will send to you, and power of attorney to the security firm, When you are ready I will give you the information needed before you can get access to the fund you will then proceed to Netherlands where the US$8,500,000.00 EIGHT MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS will be given to you as payment. Alternatively, you can have the fund transferred into any account that suits you. Yours sincerely, Sambro Savimbi.

The money was deposited in a box as valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance. This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms and for establishment of new farms in lesotho and swaziland.This land problems arose when president Robert mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"adopted by the government. This result to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs,precisely more than three thousand( 3,000) people have so far been killed.Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and united states have voice their condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently, south Africa have development community(S.A.D.C)has continousy supported mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that my entire family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to ! transfer my father's wealth and south Africa's government seems to be playing along with them.I am face with the dilemma of investing this money in south Afica for fear of encountering the same experience in the future, since both countries have almost the same political history.

Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Claude's Family or Relatives but to no success.

FROM: NELSON SAYEED CONFIDENTIAL! Dear friend, I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE. I am Nelson Sayeed a Sierra Leonean the son of Mr. Mohammed Idris Sayeed from Federal Republic of Sierra Leone and who was fully into oil and solid mineral deals with the some African top governmental officials. It might interest you to know that on one of my father's business outing, he was poisoned to death by his business counterparts. When my mother died on the 21ST October 1994, my father took us his family so special because we are all he had and that was when he made the proclamation before his death on the 29th November 2000 in a private hospital here in Nigeria, he called me and drew my attention to a deposit worth US$19.5M (Nineteen Million five hundred thousand United States Dollars), which he made with a Security Company in South Africa on one of his business trips to South Africa. He also explained in details to me that it was because of this affluence, fame and bargain for a contract with the Nigerian top governmental officials that his business associates poisoned him. He instructed that I should seek for a foreign partner or investor in a country of my choice where the funds will be transferred for investment purposes. Due to the nature of my father's business and after the death of my mother, my father brought me to Nigeria to undergo my University education. I am 26year of age studying Medicine and Surgery. Now I must confess my agitation is real, and my word is my bond, in this proposal. My late father got this money from the oil business and contracts he executed, during the peak of the oil bunkery in Nigeria and deposited it in the vault of private owned Security Company in South Africa. I am seeking for your immeasurable assistance in securing this fund as directed by my father. Due to this he did not affix any name in the next of kin column during the documentation for the deposit. The contact and details about the security company will be sent to you in due course. He instructed the Security Company only to affix the name of any foreign investor who wished to assist secure this fund. Due to that, I am seeking for your assistance once again to render me a fav! orable assistance in securing this fund. I confined strongly on your power of confidentiality, as I would want this transaction kept secret for me because this money is the hope of my life, it is important. That is the reason why I have to contact you this way, I have no choice rather I believe that the 30% of the total amount I am offering you is commensurate with the assistance needed from you, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incur during this transaction, while 5% will be set aside for both parties for the expense we are going to incur during this transaction. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated so as to stop further contacts. I shall send you more information on their travails when I hear from you. In anticipation towards your reply thank you and God bless you.

I am writing this letter to request your assistance and confidentiality to handle a transfer of fund into a Foreign account and I decided to write you, my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling Government of President Robert Mugabe, for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority, Before my fathers death, he has taken to Johannesburg and deposited the sum of Twenty Five Million, Five hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($25.5 million)with a Security and Finance Company as if he foreseen the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance. This money was allocated for the purchase of new Machinery and chemical products for Agro allied farm and for the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. These land problems arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers, and the blacks vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant Killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs, precisely more than three thousands (3,000) people have so far been killed. Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and United States have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's plans. Subsequently, South Africa Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that my entire family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my father's money into a foreign account. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family's wealth and South Africa government seem to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in the future, since both countries have the same political history. More so, The South Africa Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such investment, Hence I am seeking for political asylum in The Netherlands. As a business person whom I entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, we are offering you 30% of the sum 60% for me and my family, while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurred during this transaction. We wish to invest our money on commercial properties based on your advice. Finally, I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on the money when it gets to your personal or company account in your country. If this proposal is accepted by you, please confirm your interest by sending me an email (edeman75@netscape.net) Tel: 0031-625470458 or my family number Tel:+27 725279148 in South Africa.

I am aware that we have never seen each other before, neither have we exchanged any form of formal contract or correspondence before. I am equally aware that this world is full of dishonest people but I sincerely hope that my humble letter will touch your kind heart to assist us and give us the opportunity of being future inseparable. I am DR.JOE-DANIELS KOFFI,the Chairman of ECOWAS contract awarding committee in ecowas sub-regional head quarter in lome Togo, West Africa. In due respect and regard,I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During our investigation and auditing in my department,we discovered a huge sum of money that was over invoiced amounting $15,000,000.00 and un-recorded for in the books of Accounts.We discovered that it has been floating since 1997 through 2001 in Ecobank of Africa lome Togo. this is found out to be over influence on contract payments and over invoice. Personally the information is kept secret by me and my partner to enable the whole plan and ideas profitable and successful during the time of execution. As it may interest you to know, I got your contact through business inquires from the chamber of commerce here in my country as I was making contact for an honest foreigner who will assist me in this transaction. Meanwhile the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund, as a payment of contract executed since it cannot be withdrawn locally and get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assits us and also benefit yourself in this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eyebrow on my side during the time of transfer. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow, who will forward claim as the contractor and also present a foreign account where the money would be tranferred to as a payment for contract executed as it may be after due verification by designated board. I would not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk-free. On smooth conclussion of this transaction, you would be entitlled to 30% as gratification,while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners.Please, you have been advised to keep top-secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here until you confirm the money in your account,and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing according to percentages. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

KABILA From sadu25@rediffmail.com Mon Mar 31 23:33 MET 2003 From: SADU MADIGA Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 23:32:56 +0200 0031613792781 AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Sadu Madiga, the first son of Gadik Madiga, a popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as family treasure to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number or my E-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law in your country. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Sadu Madiga.

I am MR MATHEW.O.LAPPEMAN an Executive Accountant with the Department of finance of mineral resources and energy South Africa. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of finance where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars ($21,500,000.) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount $21.5m represents the balance of the total revenue collections from income tax, mining lease and export duties in respect of diamond mines, expressed as a percentage of total tax revenues (net collections, National Revenue Account . from this projects we have been able to secure this reasonable ammount.$21.5m as commission resulting from over invoice ,hench all the necessary approvals has been completed. This amount $21.5m represents the balance of the Estimated revenue total value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual Estimated revenue cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the Tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the $21.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses.

I am appealing for your help on humanitarian grounds. Please be patient and read through to the end of my message My name is Joshua Momoh ; and in 1995, I was appointed Military Attache (Top military Officer, with rank of Majo-General) in the Nigerian Embassy, France. Officially, the Ambassador was my boss, but because Nigeria then was governed by the Military, I was in fact in charge of the Embassy Oil Companies soon found out that I enjoyed a close relationship with the Nigerian Petroleum Minister, who was my former Commanding Officer expectedly, I gave them recommendations for crude oil lifting rights, crude oil explorations etc. The Oil companies in turn gave me presents and gifts which in time amounted to about USD16,000,000.00 (Sixteen Million USD). These always came in cash in order to avoid trace. When my tour of duty came to an end in 1997, I returned back to Nigeria. Before my return, I went to a Bank in United Kingdom and put all the money ( boxed) into a safe deposit vault. This was for 2 reasons: First, putting the money into a vault, instead of a standard Bank Account means that no one can trace the money to me. It is like a secret numbered account; it is well hidden from all prying eyes! Only I have the combination of the vault, and no one else can open it except me In early, 1998, I was wrongly accused of plotting to topple the Military Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of President Sani Abacha.. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months Because the members of the military Court-martial were initially sharply divided, my execution was delayed pending my appeal. My appeal was still pending when President Abacha unexpectedly and suddenly died on June 8, 1998; The military high command did not know what to do with me, so I was simply left to rot in jail Early last week, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since January, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I have no money, and I have no traveling documents (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you can wire all the money to your own Bank Account. For your help and assistance in this venture, you will keep 25% of the money as your share. I will invest my share of 75% ( with your kind help) in any profitable venture. This is because I can not bring back the money to Nigeria for obvious reasons. If you agree to help me, please send me the following information, and I will give you more details, including the Vault Combination ,name, website etc of the UK Bank! Please send me the following: (a) Your complete name and address (b) Your telephone and fax numbers including mobile which can reach you round the clock (c) A confidential email address to be used solely for our transaction For my protection and security reasons, I am using a satellite Telephone and fax; please call me any time. I wish you God s blessings, Regards, Maj-Gen.

I write you in respect of a foreign customer with Domicilliary Account number 6402356789. His name is Engineer Joseph Schultzman. He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria in 1997 during the reign of late General Sani Abacha. Its rather a pity that the late Engr. Died with his wife and two daughters Sir, since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Joseph Schultzman, who was an oil merchant/contractor, I and my three colleagues have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim The money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer. He had only $30 mllion in his domicilary account and th! e account is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self-considering my position in the bank. Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the Next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between you and myself. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe. By this doing, what is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will need your full name and address, company or residential including your telephone and fax numbers, so that I can computerize them to tally ! with next of kin column in the certificate of deposit. I will also need your bank account, into which the money will be transfered Finally I want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a local cannot represent as next of kin. Also, law does not allow us to transfer money overseas or to operate foreign accounts. When you contact me, then we shall discuss on how the money will be split between us. Kindly, contact me through my email address to discuss the modalities of the transfer of this money.

I am Miss. Audrey Coleman daughter to the late Chief Paul Coleman from Sierra Leon. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of twenty-five Million Dollars ($25,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security trust firm in The Netherlands where money is been deposited in trunk boxes and declared as Precious stones by my late father, as a matter of fact the company does not know the content as money. Although my father made them to understand that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner. Source of the money: My late father Chief Paul Coleman , a native of Mende District in the Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my father, this Money was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation's over draft and minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the Rebels forces of Major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of the civilian elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for I and my two children to be evacuated to Ivory coast with the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT he made with a security firm in The Netherlands through the aid of U.N evacuation team. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of Public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone mining corporation was one of the targets looted and it was destroyed. My father and other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in November 2000 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father's death , and with the information we got that the rebels are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled with the ill health of my mother she died in the process as we could not afford her a decent medical care. Our only hope now is in you and the boxes deposited in the Security Firm To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways. 1. To assist me claim this boxes from the security Firm as our beneficiary 2. To transfer this money (USD$25M) in your name to your country 3. to make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country and you, our Adviser/ Manager For your assistance, I have agreed with my only surviving brother that 20% of the total amount will be for your effort and another 5% to cover all the expenses that you may incure during the business transaction, Last, I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential as no one knows our where about. Please as you show your willingness, Forward to us your full name, address and Tel/ Fax numbers, to me via my private email address as indicated bellow, this is for security reasons as i will only be accessing my private email earnestly awaiting your response.

FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, LAGOS, NIGERIA. TEL: 234-1-4741565. URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL Attn: C.E.O, Best wishes of good health and success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in this letter.Before going indetails of my proposal to you, I must first solicit you to treat it with utmost confidentiality, as this is required for its success. My colleagues and I are senior officials of the Federal Government of Nigeria?s Contracts Review Panel who are interested in diverting some funds that are presently floating in the accounts of the Central Bank of Nigeria.In order to commence this transaction, we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said floating funds. We are determined to conclude the transfer before the end of this financial quarter. The source of the funds are as follows: During the last military regime, government officials awarded contracts that were grossly over-invoiced to Contractors.The present civilian government set up the Contract Review Panel, which has the mandate to use the instruments of payments made available to it by the decree setting up the panel, to review these contracts and if necessary pay those who are being owed outstanding amounts. My colleagues and I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for disbursement and would like to divert some of it for our own purposes. However, by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel,we cannot acquire these funds in our names or in the names of companies that are based in Nigeria. I have therefore been mandated, as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel, to look for a reliable overseas partner into whose account we can transfer the sum of U.S.$16,500,000.00 (sixteen Million,five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars). That is why I am writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account, if you agree with our proposition as follows; (i) 10% to the account owner (you). (ii) 80% for us (the panel officials). (iii) 10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us )incidental to the actualisation of this project. We wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in foreign stock markets and other business till we are ready and able to have access to them. Please note that this transactionis 100% safe and risk-free.We intend to effect the transfer within a few days from the date of receipt of the following information: Your name, company?s name, address and telephone and fax numbers, and your banking information. The above information will enable us write letters of claim andjob description respectively. This way, we will use your company?s name to apply for the payment and backdate the award of the contract to your company.

I am writing following the impressive information about you. I have the assurance that you are capable and reliable enough to champion an impending transaction. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$28.5m (twenty eight million and five hundred thousand US dollars), in an account that belonged to one of our former customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash, in November, 1997. Since we received the information about his death, we have expected his next of kin to come forward and claim his money, as enshrined in our banking laws and regulations. So far nobody has come forward, and we cannot release the funds unless someone applies as the next of kin as stipulated in our guidelines. Unfortunately,we have discovered that all his supposed next of kin or relations died alongside with him in the plane crash, and effectively leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is consequent upon this discovery that other officials and I in my department decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased person,for safety and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming forward for it, and the money is not reverted into the bank s treasury as unclaimed. The bank s regulation stipulates that if after five years, such money emains unclaimed; the money will be reverted to the bank s treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as the next of kin in this transaction is predicated upon the fact that the said customer was a foreign national,and no citizen of this country can claim to be the next of kin of a foreigner.We agree that 30% of the total sum will be given to you for your assistance in facilitating this transaction. My colleagues and I are going to retain 60% of the total sum, and 10% will be set aside for the expenses that we may incur in facilitating the remittance. To enable us effect this remittance, you must first apply as the next of kin of the deceased. Your application will include your bank co-ordinates,that is, your bank name, bank address and telex, your bank account. You will include your private telephone no. and fax no., for easy and effective communication during this process. My colleagues and I will visit your country for disbursement according to the agreed ratio, when this transaction is concluded. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you by fax, the text of the application. I must not fail to bring to your notice the fact that this transaction is hitch free, and that you should not entertain fear as you are adequately protected from any form of embarrassment. Do respond to this letter today through my email address to enable us proceed with the transaction. Yours sincerely, DONCAN AWELE.

THIS MONEY WAS OF COURSE, ACQUIRED BY THE LATE PRESIDENT AND IS NOW KEPT SECRETLY BY THE FAMILY. THE SWISS GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY FROZEN ALL THE ACCOUNTS OF THE FAMILY IN SWITZERLAND, AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD SOON FOLLOW TO DO THE SAME. THIS BID BY SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DEAL WITH THIS FAMILY HAS MADE IT NECESSARY THAT WE SEEK YOUR ASSISITANCE IN RECEIVING THIS MONEY AND IN INVESTING IT ON BEHALF OFTHE FAMILY. THIS MUST BE A JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION AND WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER. SINCE THIS MONEY IS STILL CASH, EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PROTECT IT FROM THEFT OR SEIZURE, PENDING WHEN AGREEMENT IS REACHED ON WHEN AND HOW TO MOVE IT INTO ANY OF YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNTS. I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED OUT ALL MODALITIES FOR THE PEACEFUL CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION. THE TRANSACTION DEFINITELY WOULD BE HANDLED IN PHASES AND THE FIRST PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE MOVING OF US$25,000,000.00( TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITEDSTATES DOLLARS ). MY CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU A REASONABLE PERCENTAGE OF THIS MONEY AS SOON AS THE TRANSACTIONIS CONCLUDED. I WILL, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE GROUNDS THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND ALSO ALL CONTENTIOUS ISSUES DISCUSSED BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS TRANSACTION. YOU MAY ALSO DISCUSS YOUR PERCENTAGE BEFORE WE START TO WORK. AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU, I WILL GIVE YOU ALL NECESSARY DETAILS AS TO HOW WE INTEND TO CARRY OUT THE WHOLE TRANSACTION.

RE: UNPAID CONTRACT SUM After waiting to hear from you or your Nigeria partners for a long time now, I decided to make this direct approach to you in other not to let it be as if I have anything in mind against you. I do not know if you have asked yourself why each time the release of these fund is approved, all of a sudden, the payment will be stopped or one problem or the other will come up. If you have not asked this question or you do not know, this is an opportunity for me to tell you. Some time ago, your Nigerian friend I mean the people that introduced you to the project approached me through my dear Wife who works with the federal Ministry of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a money transfer deal they had with you, they requested me to assist them by removing the original contractors name, companys name and bank particulars from Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) vetting computer and replacing them with your name and your bank details in order to make you appear as the rightful beneficiary of this funds. I agreed on condition that they will pay me $100,000 as soon as your name appears as the beneficiary.I did as agreed and demanded to be paid but your friends started telling me stories. They even told me that you promise to send money to me. Do you know that up till now, I have not received a single cent from them and have not set my eyes on any of them. Based on their attitude, I decided to stop the funds release movement because I cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering the risk as it might affect my job. Secondly, I know the source of the funds and you did not execute any contract in Nigeria, although I am the only person privileged to know this information and it is a fact. Why I am making this clear to you is that I can see that you are still making efforts spending money in order to conclude this project. Now I am ready to forget the past, I do not need the $100,000 any longer from you but a share of 15% of the total sum. I need your assurance that those your colleagues will be totally keep out of this transaction, I know that none of them is aware of this transaction after trying their best to conclude it without my consent. Finally, I need your promise that no official of the Central bank of Nigeria will be aware of my involvement in this regard. Now re-assure me that you will be willing to offer me the 15% of the fund, that you will assist my wife and personal assistant to establish a foreign account in your country where my share will be lodged. If you are ready to conclude this business with me,you can contact me immediately on (EMAIL: (cbn_govt05@mail.com). so that we can have chat over this issue once and for all so that we can move forward. But if the reverse is the case, do not bother yourself to reach me. Regards, DR. PETER AKA DIRECTOR (K.T.T UNIT) C.B.N.

To: Hello; PLEASE SEND REPLY TO THIS ALTERNATIVE EMAILS BELOW: jomomoh_200@europe.com jomomoh_200@usa.com I obtained your email address from an internet search engine; please forgive me for invading your privacy but I do really need your help! I am appealing for your help on humanitarian grounds. Please be patient and read through to the end of my message My name is Joshua Momoh ; and in 1995, I was appointed Military Attache (Top military Officer, with rank of Majo-General) in the Nigerian Embassy, France. Officially, the Ambassador was my boss, but because Nigeria then was governed by the Military, I was in fact in charge of the Embassy Oil Companies soon found out that I enjoyed a close relationship with the Nigerian Petroleum Minister, who was my former Commanding Officer expectedly, I gave them recommendations for crude oil lifting rights, crude oil explorations etc. The Oil companies in turn gave me presents and gifts which in time amounted to about USD16,000,000.00 (Sixteen Million USD). These always came in cash in order to avoid trace. When my tour of duty came to an end in 1997, I returned back to Nigeria. Before my return, I went to a Bank in United Kingdom and put all the money ( boxed) into a safe deposit vault. This was for 2 reasons: First, putting the money into a vault, instead of a standard Bank Account means that no one can trace the money to me. It is like a secret numbered account; it is well hidden from all prying eyes! Only I have the combination of the vault, and no one else can open it except me In early, 1998, I was wrongly accused of plotting to topple the Military Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of President Sani Abacha.. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months Because the members of the military Court-martial were initially sharply divided, my execution was delayed pending my appeal. My appeal was still pending when President Abacha unexpectedly and suddenly died on June 8, 1998; The military high command did not know what to do with me, so I was simply left to rot in jail Early last week, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since January, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I have no money, and I have no traveling documents (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you can wire all the money to your own Bank Account. For your help and assistance in this venture, you will keep 25% of the money as your share. I will invest my share of 75% ( with your kind help) in any profitable venture. This is because I can not bring back the money to Nigeria for obvious reasons. If you agree to help me, please send me the following information, and I will give you more details, including the Vault Combination ,name, website etc of the UK Bank! Please send me the following: (a) Your complete name and address (b) Your telephone and fax numbers including mobile which can reach you round the clock (c) A confidential email address to be used solely for our transaction For my protection and security reasons, I am using a satellite Telephone and fax; please call me any time.

Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Claude's Family or Relatives but to no success. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of ki! n or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Peter Claude (Snr.)'s next of kin . The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, Thus that arrangement will be made for the fund to be decleared "Unclaimed" and subsequentlly be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in General. In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I, now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the late Engr.peter Claude (Snr.) so that the fund will be released and paid into your Account as the beneficiary/next of kin. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer(Claude) was a foreigner and a Local person here in the country cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased's beneficiary(ies), and more so we are assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free.

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers,and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that,I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account.since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands. As the eldest son of my father,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future,both countries have similar political history.As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands,I must let you know that this transaction is risk free.If you accept to assist me and my family all I want you to do for me,is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.Whichever the option you want,feel free to notify me.I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country.Contact me with the above e-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid international foreign Agreement , but could only be approved to any foreigner with valid international credentials and foreign account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and the former owner of the account Engr.Blake A.Pitchford is a foreigner too, thus the money could only be approved into a foreign account. As a matter of urgency, I will inform you the next step to take, while you send your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the bank account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together before transferring the money to any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments, I need your full co-operation to make this business a success, because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with the instructions of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately all transfer documents are secured so that I will be in your country a day or two before the money arrives into your account. To prove the authenticity of the business I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries, foreign exchange departments, embassy and Board of Internal Revenue Services,As soon as you assured me that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing.

My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and Sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of fifteen million two Hundred thousand US Dollars ($15.2m) with a security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger In Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as gem or precious stone to avoid much demurrage from the Security firm. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for our farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land act which wholly affects the White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the Government. This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are currently staying in Holland as refugees' asylum seekers and we have moved the money through a contact at a security company here in Holland with a branch in South Africa. I am faced with the dilemma of collecting this money from the security company by ourselves because we are refugees and also, we do not want the money to be traced to us. We need you to come up as the beneficiary and next of kin to this money so that you can help us receive the money from the security company for us all. If you agree, we shall use some document and paper work (Deed of Assignment) to put you as the next of kin and beneficiary. I must let you know that this business is 100% risk Free, timely and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. So if you are willing to assist us, I and my family have agreed to give you 25% of the Total money, while 70% will be for I and my family which we shall also invest in your Country with your advice and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for any incidental expenses which we may incur during the transaction. Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavour to reply through this my Email address.Remember that this is highly confidential and the Success of this business depends on how secret it is kept. Please where you are not interested; do not discuss this matter with any body. I shall bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when you reply me. Best Regards, Donald Malani.

Dear Sir/Madam, In order to transfer from a Bank some amount of money,I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in the future. I am Dr.James Emmanuel,a consulting auditor of prime banks here in South Africa. On June 6th 1998,an American Mining Consultant/ Contractor with the South African Mining Corporation, Mr.Gregory A.Williams made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calendar months,value US $14,200,000.00 an account. On maturity, The bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract employers,the South African Mining corporation wrote to inform the bank that Mr.Gregory A.Williams died from an automobile accident,that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Gregory A.Williams in fact was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained American citizenship.He did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This money total U S $ 14,200,000.00 is still sitting in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim it, and according to South African banking policy,after 5years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if the account owner is certified dead. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Gregory A.Williams,and a Bank Account abroad will then facilitate the transfer of this money to the beneficiary/ next of kin. This is simple, all you have to do is to immediately send me a bank account anywhere in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork. This money total USD ($14.2M) will then be paid into this Account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me,25% for you and 5% for expenses that might come up during transfer process. There is no risk at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me using my position and connection in the banks in South Africa. This business transaction is guaranteed. If you are interested, please reply immediately through my personal email sending the following details: (1) Your Full Name/Address (2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number. Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. You have to note that you must send me a private fax number where I will be sending you documents incase I cannot e-mail it to you. I look forward to your earliest reply Yours, Dr.James Emmanuel.

I got your email through network online, hence decided to contact you. In the year 2001, huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by my government for the successful hosting of the Miss world beauty pageant for the year 2002, which eventually was shifted to London owing to the religious unrest in Abuja, Nigeria where the contest was initially bill to take place.However,before the shift, Cross River State Nigeria hosted, the 92 beauty queen during the first stage of the competition. Miss Turkey was eventually crown the Winner in London. However, in my capacity as the Commisioner of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, and a member of both local organizing committee (LOC) , my colleagues and I in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of the contract, for the supply and installation of some of the equipment that where suppose to have been used for the contest. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to give us 10% of the total contract sum, if we were able to influence the award of the contract in their favour. Other foreign firms bided for this same contract, but we were able to influence the board to award the contract to the firm we had this agreement with. This contract was successfully executed by the firm ,and they have been paid 90% of their total contract sum, remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not fulfil their promise. It is pertinent to note that, the remaining balance of Eight million,seven hundred housand united states dollars (US$8,700,000.00) is lying in the suspense account of the First Chartered Bank Lagos, ready for transfer into an oversea account. I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public servants. On the successful remittance of the fund (US$8,700,000.00) into your nominated account, for your kind assistance you will be adequately compensated. Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the successful transfer of this fund have been worked out. All we require from you is your cooperation. This transaction is 100% risk free. We kindly request that you accord it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly appreciated and kindly provide your phone and fax number for further information. Upon your acknowledgement of this proposal, I will forward to you the detailed procedure for this transaction. Note that, this transaction is legal and free from all sorts of risk and trouble. It does not contravene the laws of my country nor any International laws; hence the whole approval for the transfer will be official and legally processed. This transaction will be concluded within five (5) working days if we follow it up and give the serious attention it deserves.Contact with my email- sabello@ecplaza.net,while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.

JAMES KYARI" Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2003 12:42:57 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: dear friend Dear friend, Compliment of the day, I am JAMES KYARI, The son of late General Kubwa Kyari of the Democratic Republic of Congo. My father was a General in the Congolese Army. In his position (My father) with the office of the presidentcy during the regime of Laurent Kabila, he was assigned on a secret mission to source and acquire arms internationally in order to strengthen the Government forces against the rebels, which already had the support of Rwandan and Uganda Army. Meanwhile, he was still negotiating for the purchase of the arms, he received on the 16th January 2001 news of the assassination of Laurent Kabila which force him to call off the assignment and deposited the sum of US$12.5M, Packed in a diplomatic case in a private security company in the Hague, the Netherlands, though he registered the content as precious stones while the real content is (US12.5M) meant for the purchase of arms for the Congolese Army. My father went home for the funeral of the late president, but on his arrival he was arrested, detained and tortured, unfortunately my father suffer cardiac arrest and died on the 17th of March 2001. However,one of our numerous visits, my mother and I paid him while in prison, my father was able to reveal this secret to me and advice that i should proceed to the Netherlands to claim the money, he handed me all the relevant documents that will enable me claim the box from the security company.Already, I have made my first visit to the security company and the document entitled to clear this money is with a finance security company in Holland. On our arrival in the Netherlands few months ago, we sought for political asylum; which was granted. My mother and I are making frantic effort on the best way to handle this money. We sought advice from an attorney who advised that we must seek for a trustworthy foreign business partner whom can invest this fund in a profitable venture. This we view as the best option because our refugee status dose not permit us to operate a bank account, hence we seek your assistance and hope you could be trusted. I got your contact from the commercial section of the congolese embassy in Belgium. Meanwhile, I sincerely ask for your assistance to get this money through your account, Your share for assisting us will be 25% of the total sum, 5% will be use for upsetting all the expenses incurred in the course of concluding this venture and the remaining 70% that will be for me and my family. Also you stand to gain from any investment you might introduce us into after the conclusion of the transfer. Please keep this confidential until we finalize and get this money into your account for security reasons. This is my e-mail address you can reach me:(jameskyari1@netscape.net) Thanks and GOD bless. MR, JAMES KYARI From macheke33@netscape.net Wed Apr 16 02:41 MET 2003 From: "JAMES MACHEKE" Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 02:41:41 To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: JAMES FROM:JAMES MACHEKE Good day, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is that I am James Macheke, the first son of Zuma Macheke one of the most popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$9.5 million (Nine million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security and finance company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this funds was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the security and finance company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where these funds could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security and finance company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the funds for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above E-mail address,while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Note:your prompt response will be appreciated. Thanks, GOD BLESS Yours Faithfully, Mr.James Macheke.

On the 6th of June 1998 an American miner, Mr. Travis Myers ran an account with us and his present balance is valued at US$28,500,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) in my Bank. We sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally, we discovered from his employers that he died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, we found out from his account file that he never made a will and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless, as he had none. We therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Travis Myers did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents in the bank files. This sum of $28,500,000.00 is still lying in the bank and the principal sum and interest is being rolled over at the end of every year. As it is now, no one will ever come forward to claim this money. According to the Nigeria law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if unclaimed. Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand in as the next of kin of Mr. Travis Myers. This is simple; all we need is some of your details so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which would put you in place as Mr. Myers's next of kin. We shall also employ the services of an accredited Attorney for the drafting and notarisation of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letters of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. The money would be shared in the ration of 75% for us and 25% for you. There is no risk at all as the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as a manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via email. Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for us. I shall still require your assistance to invest my own share in your country just incase you can help, otherwise we'll take our share . Awaiting your urgent reply.

Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I am Ann Bangura, daughter of late Mr John Bangura of Sierra Leone who was killed by the Sierra Leone's rebel forces on the 24th of December,1999 in my country Sierra Leone. When he was still alive, he deposited the sum of US$10,000,000.00 in one of the banks in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. This money was made from the sale of Gold and Diamond by my mother and she have already decided to use this money for future investment of the family.Recently, I rushed down to Abidjan after being able to locate where my late father kept the deposit slip that was given to him by the bank when he deposited the funds in the bank . I have confirmed from the bank that the money is with them, when I demanded for the withdrawal of the funds to me in my capacity of being the daughter of Mr Bangura, the depositor of the funds, I was told that in the absence of my father, the only person that can demand for thefunds is my late father's foreign partner on whose behalf the money was deposited. When my late father deposited the funds in the bank, he did not give the name or gender of his foreign partner on whose behalf he was depositing the funds, he made the declaration for security reasons as he did not want the bank to demand from him how he made the money hence he declared the funds as belonging to his foreign partner. Meanwhile, my father have instructed me that in the case of his death, that I should look for a trusted foreigner who can assist me to move out this money from Cote d'Ivoire immediately for investment . Based on t cit for your assistance to transfer this fund into your Account, but I will demand for the following requirement: (1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where this fund will be transferred to in your country. (2) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable business venture that would not require much technical expertise in your country where part of this fund will be invested? I am a Christian and I will please, want you to handle this transaction based on the trust I have; established on you. For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided to compensate you with 10 percent of the total amount at the end of this business. The security of this business is very important to me and as such, I would like you to keep this business very confidential. I shall expect an early response from you. Thank you and God bless.

Source of the money: My late father Chief John Marayi , a native of Mende District in the Northerh province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.)

My father had already made arrangement for his family thats talking about my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire with the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT he made with the security firm in Europe through the aid of U.N evacuation team.

Attn: Dear Friend, MISS WORLD BEAUTY PAGEANT. I am Dr.Ade Williams, the commissioner of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation[NTDC] an affiliate of the Federal Ministry Of Culture and Tourism. In the year 2001 huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by my government for the successful hosting of the Miss world beauty pageant for the year 2002, which eventually was shifted to London owing to the religious unrest in Abuja, Nigeria where the contest was initially bill to take place. Before the shift, Cross River State Nigeria hosted, the 92 beauty queen during the first stage of the competition. Miss Turkey was eventually crowned the Winner in London. However, in my capacity as the Commisioner of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation,and a member of both local organizing committee (LOC),my colleagues and I in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of thecontract, for the supply and installation of some of the equipment that where suppose to have been used for the contest. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to give us 10% of the total contract sum,if we were able to influence the award of the contract in their favour. Other foreign firms bided for this same contract, but we were able to influence the board to award the contract to the firm we had this agreement with. This contract was successfully executed by the firm and they have been paid 90% of their total contract sum, remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not fulfil their promise. It is pertinent to note that, the remainin! g balance of eight-million, seven hundred thousand united states dollars(US$8,700,000.00) is lying in the suspense account of the First Chartered Bank Lagos, ready for transfer into an oversea account. I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public servants. On the successful remittance of the fund (US$8,700,000.00)into your nominated account,for your kind assistance you will be adequately compensated. Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the successful transfer of this fund have been worked out. All we require from you is your cooperation. This transaction is 100% risk free. We kindly request that you accord it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly appreciated and kindly provide your phone and fax number for further information. Upon your acknowledgement of this proposal, I will forward to you the detailed procedure for this Transaction. Awaiting your prompt response. Best Regards. Dr.Ade Williams.

Please accept my apology for using this medium to convey a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to the confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium.I have decided to seek your co-operation in the execution of this deal described hereunder, for the benefit of all parties and hoping you will keep it as TOP SECRET because of the nature of the business. Within the department of Mining and Natural Resources (where I work as a director), and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$18,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a company/or an individual to receive the said funds, via a reliable Bank Account. Quite frankly, we are handicapped as the South African civil service laws (Code of Conduct Bureau) strongly prohibits us from owning/or operating a foreign account hence your importance in this wholetransaction. This amount (US$18.5M) represents the balance of the total value of a contract executed on behalf of my department by a foreign contracting firm which we the officials (involved) deliberately over-invoiced. Though the actual cost have been paid to the original contractor leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principle gotten approval to remit by Key Tested Telegraphic transfer (K.T.T.) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing an application through the justice ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges ofthe former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction by way of providing the required account in receiving these funds, your share of the entire sum will be 30% amounting to Us$5.55Million of the US$18.5Million, 60% amounting to US$11.1Million for us and 10% amounting to US$1.85Million will be used to settle taxation and other miscellaneous expenses in the course of transferring the funds to your account. The business itself is 100% foolproof and safe, as long as you maintain utmost secrecy and confidentiality. furthermore your area of specialization will not be a hindrance to the successful completion of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not disappoint me. Should you be willing to assist positively with a common goal, endeavor to contact me immediately through my above email address.

I want to assure you that my colleagues and I are in position to make the payment of this claim possible provided that you can give us a very concrete assurance of the safety of our share. Please, always treat this matter with utmost confidentiality, because we will not comprehend any form of exposure as we are still in active government service. Time is of essence in this business, so kindly act fast. I await in anticipation your fullest co-operation.

Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 16:14:15 +0200 Phillip Ugoma. Email: ugoma0@netscape.net. I will like to begin by introducing myself to you. I am Phillip Ugoma, a native of Cape town, South Africa and I am an employee of the South African Department of Mineral and Energy. I hope that this letter meets you in a good mood. However, the content of this letter is not compulsory that you must participate but a voluntary participation could be of help to you, my partners and I. I am soliciting your assistance in a cooperation to redeem an investment. The said investment is now valued at 10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Pounds Sterling) equivalent to US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million United States Dollars). This investment was formerly purchased by one Mr. Lucio Stevenson and leased to the Transvaal Orange Mining Corporation on 15th April, 1975. Since the maturity of this investment in September 2000, several attempts have been made without success to contact Mr. Lucio or any member of his entire family in whose favour the said investment can be paid. My partner who is the accounts director in our Ministry, myself and two other colleagues of mine have initiated the process of filing a claim for this money with the hope of having the funds transferred abroad for us all. My main aim of writing this letter to you is to request that you allow us to file a claim for this money with your names and other particulars indicating that you are the sole signatory and beneficiary to this money so that the funds can be paid to you for us all. Note that we cannot use our names or family names in filing this claim because we are well known as workers in this Department. When the claim is finally approved, you as the beneficiary will be paid this sum of money. Again Since this money will be paid directly to any bank account of your choice, you have a liability to ensure that my partners and I receive 70% of the net sum while you are entitled to 25% for your assistance and the remaining 5% will be mapped out to cover all expenses incidental to this transaction. Please we urge you to keep this matter very confidential until it's completion. I assure you that the money is here and we are in a position to make the payment to you only if you give us a strong guaranty that you will not abscond with all the money and you will co-operate with us religiously. You have to promise us that you will not take advantage of our position since the money will be paid directly into a bank account that you solely nominate. Be assured that there is absolutely nothing to worry you about in view of this claim. It is 100% safe and risk free to us all. It is not subject to any enquiry since my partner will be handling the claim directly from the accounts department on your behalf. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter if it is acceptable to you. Whereby you do not accept this proposal, please kindly destroy this letter so that I can scout for another foreign partner with whom we can conclude this business together. Please reach me at my tel: 0031-627-218-238 and or the email above so that I can provide you with more clarification about this claim and how we intend to make this deal beneficial to everyone.

I am MECK MAHABILE, the son of JAMES MAHABILE, the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe. He was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred United States dollars), in one of the security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This fund was deposited in a box as gemstones for concealment and to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President, Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few rich black farmers who are opposed to him and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of thisLand reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. The problem is yet unresolved as some white farmers who could not quit are being arrested by thegovernment. It is against this background that my family and I fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives of which i am currently staying in the Netherlands seeking political asylum. Moreover, I have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account WHERE IT WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE AND NOT TRACED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to have such amount of money in any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction of such magnitude throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, I am seeking a partner, who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands.I must let you know that this transaction is risk free, if you accept to assist me. All I want you to do for me is to make an arrangement with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands. I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought from South Africa to The Netherlands. All modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership of the consignment in your name as the empowered sole beneficiary so that you can be contacted by the security company and clear the consignment on my behalf. I have two reward options for you. Firstly, I can give you a certain percentage preferably 20 (percent)of the funds for your role in clearing the consignment and ensuring that the fund is transferred into an account which you have control over. Secondly,you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5( five percent) of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred by you to defray them at the successful completion of this transaction. You may reply me by giving me your telephone and fax numbers so that I will send to you all the necessary documents once you have decided and willing to help while maintaining the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thank You.

We got your contact from a computerize data following my effort searching for a trustworthy person to assist us. I am PATRICK BAKAYOKO; the only son of late Mr and Mrs PHILIPE BAKAYOKO and my sister QUEENETH BAKAYOKO.Our father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal. When our mother died on the 21st October 1984,our father took me and my junior sister special because we are motherless.Before the death of our father on 30th June 2001 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called us on his bedside and told us thathe has a sum of $20,000.000 (TWENTY Million united states dollar) deposited in a private security company here on his name. He also explained to us that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that we should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of our choice who can assist us in claiming this fund from the security company for us for investment purposes and use it for investment purpose, (such as realestate management). But because of the present political problems in this country Cote d'ivoire we want to transfer the money out of the country as we don't know what might happen next. We are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways. ( 1) To act as the foreign partner of our late father by claiming this fund from the security company for further transfer and investment to your designated bank account abroad. Moreover , we are willing to offer you 5% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate Anticipating to hear from you soon.

With good faith i have come to you on this proposal which i feel you are liable of handling, and firstly i must introduce myself, I am Lucky Garbi, the first son and manager of Mr. Garbi Thembe, one of the most popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you, Before the death of my father, he took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US5.8 million (Five million, Eight Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe, this money was deposited in a box as family valuables to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for a new Farm establishment in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Reform Act wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mobbing by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act of which my father was one of the victims.

As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. Since the South African government seems to be playing along with them, I am now faced with the dilemma of moving this fund out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future because both countries have similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you.

Or you can go into partnership with me for a proper profitable investment in your country. Whichever option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incured in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country.

Yours faithfully, Lucky Garb From simonmuzendda@email.com Tue Apr 29 23:23 MET 2003 From: Simon Muzenda Subject: Urgent Assistance Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 23:24:08 +0200 Tel:31-630-359-505 Email:simonmuzenda@hotmail.com Geschfts-Vorschlag Sicher sind Sie verwundert, diese Nachricht von jemandem zu erhalten, den sie nicht persoenlich kennen. Der Grund weshalb ich mich an Sie wende ist das ich Simon Muzenda bin, der erstgeborene Sohn von Paul Muzenda, einem der bekanntesten schwarzen Farmer in Zimbabwe. Er wurde vor kurzem im Laufe des Landstreites in meinem Land ermordet. Ich erhielt Ihre Adresse durch das Internet und habe mich entschieden mich an Sie zu wenden. Bevor mein Vater starb, nahm er mich mit nach Johannesburg um dort einen Betrag von 8,5 Millionen US$ (acht Millionen, fuenfhunderttausend US Dollar) bei einer privaten Sicherheitsfirma zu deponieren. Er hat die drohende Gefahr geahnt und daher diesen Betrag in einer Kassette dort hinterlegt, die er als normales Wertgut deklarierte um keinen Verdacht zu erwecken und ausserdem die Kosten fuer die Hinterlegung gering zu halten. Niemand weiss also von dem Bargeld in dieser Kassette. Urspruenglich war dieser Betrag fuer neue Maschinen und Chemikalien fuer seine Farm gedacht, ausserdem wollte er neues Farmland in Swaziland erwerben und erschliessen. Das Landproblem entstand als der Praesident von Zimbabwe, Mr. Robert Mugabe, seine neue Landreform durchsetzte bei der nur die reichen weissen Farmer und einige wenige schwarze Farmer Vorteile verschafft wurden, fuer alle anderen war die Existenz nun bedroht. Daraus resultierten dann schliesslich die Unruhen die sich ausbreiteten und denen viele Menschen zum Opfer fielen und ihr Leben lassen mussten. Leider ist mein Vater ebenfalls eines dieser Opfer das sein Leben verlor. Vor diesem Hintergrund bin ich mit der Familie unter lebensgefaehrlichen Umstaenden aus Zimbabwe nach Holland geflohen, hier haben wir politisches Asyl beantragt. Das in Suedafrika zurueckgelassene Geld wollen wir nun der Sicherheit wegen auf ein Konto hier uebertragen. Das Gesetz in Holland verbietet es aber Menschen die politisches Asyl beantragt haben waehrend dieses Verfahrens ein Konto zu eroeffnen oder irgendwelche Transfers die ueber die hollaendische Grenze hinausgehen abzuwickeln. Als der erstgeborene Sohn bin ich nun fuer meine ganze Familie verantwortlich und habe die Rolle meines Vaters als Bewacher und Beschuetzer uebernommen. Nun stehe ich vor dem Problem dieses Geld ohne Wissen der afrikanischen Regierung hierher zu transferieren, ansonsten wuerde man uns den gesamten Betrag enteignen, dieses Geld ist aber alles das uns noch geblieben ist. Die Suedafrikanische Regierung unterstuetzt wohl die Regierung Zimbabwes, so dass auch dort nichts von meinem Vorhaben bekannt werden darf. Die Zukunftsplaene beider Laender sind wohl genauso aehnlich wie es deren politische Vergangenheit ist.Als Geschaeftsmann suche ich nun nach einem Partner dem ich voll und ganz vertrauen kann, dem ich meine und auch die Zukunft meiner ganzen Familie anvertrauen kann. Ich moechte Sie wissen lassen, dass mein Plan voellig ohne Risiko ist, falls Sie mir und meiner Familie helfen wollen. Alles worum ich Sie bitte, ist eine Vereinbarung mit der hollaendischen Niederlassung der Sicherheitsfirma zu treffen, das hinterlegte Wertgut auszuhaendigen. Ich meinerseits habe bereits Anweisung gegeben die Kassette von Suedafrika nach Holland zu senden. Vorher allerdings muessen noch einige wichtige Formalitaeten erledigt werden, wie die aenderung des Beguenstigten an diesem Wertgut. Weiterhin habe ich vor diese Geld nach Erhalt moeglichst gut und gewinnbringend zu investieren. Ich moechte Ihnen zwei Vorschlaege unterbreiten.Erstens biete ich Ihnen einen Teil der Gesamtsumme an, wenn Sie bereit waeren, Ihr eigenes Konto fuer diese Transaktion zur Verfuegung zu stellen.Oder aber Sie sind an einer Partnerschaft mit mir interessiert um diese Summe profitabel in Ihrem Land zu investieren.Egal welcher Vorschlag Ihnen mehr zusagt, zoegern Sie nicht mir Ihre Entscheidung mitzuteilen. Fuer alle entstehenden Unkosten habe ich 5% des Gesamtbetrages ingeplant. Sollten Sie nicht an einer Partnerschaft mit mir interessiert sein, biete ich Ihnen 10% des Betrages an und werde die verbleibenden 85% fuer meine Investitionen in Ihrem Land nutzen.Sie koennen mich jederzeit unter dieser e-Mail Adresse erreichen: (simonmuzenda@hotmail.com) Ich bitte Sie jedoch um Ihre absolute Verschwiegenheit in dieser Angelegenheit Dritten gegenueber. Gott schuetze Sie Hochachtungsvoll Ihr ergebener Mr. Simon Muzenda. From kubrown77@tatanova.com Wed Apr 30 12:39 MET 2003 To: kubrown77file@tatanova.com From: kubrown77 Cc: Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2003 16:04:39 +0530 Subject: Please Help Attention: FOR SECURITY REASONS PLEASE REPLY ONLY IN THIS EMAIL ADDRES; 1) kubrown77x@ziplip.com I am writing you from Nigeria, in West Africa. First, please permit me to give you the background. My full name is Kudi Browne; After the first Gulf War, the price of Crude Oil Petroleum shot up astronomically peaking at over 30 USD per barrel. Expectedly, the Nigeria Bonny Light Crude was in high demand, and Buyers from all over the World besieged the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC) for Crude Oil Lifting Rights. It was my job as the Chairman of the TASK FORCE ON CRUDE PETROLEUM OIL to grant the required LICENCES to lift Crude Petroleum Oil. I granted the Crude Oil Lifting Licenses only AFTER a thorough investigation and background check of all Foreign Companies who applied…Surprisingly, most of the Foreign Companies who obtained (won) the Crude Oil Lifting Rights(Licenses) from me later showered me with “Gifts” amounting to thousands of USD! This cannot legally be described as bribe because I did not solicit for gifts or presents in advance; the gifts came only after the Licenses had been granted and the Crude lifted. In time, these “presents and gifts” accumulated to about USD20,000,000.00…For security reasons, I did not put the money in a Bank; rather, I hid the money in an underground Safe in my House. In December 1998, I traveled to London, UK to sign a Contract on Behalf of Nigeria,( and the NNPC), for the Turn Around Maintenance ( TAM) of the Kaduna Refinery. I used the Corporate jet of the NNPC for the 5 day trip. I also used this opportunity to fly my money, all USD20 million (cash) to the United Kingdom, and put the money securely boxed in a Safe Deposit Vault of the HSBC Bank Plc, UK. Please see http://www.hsbc.co.uk/ I decided NOT to put the money in a standard Bank Account because it could be traced…Please bear in mind that this money belongs to me, but I did not care to be cross-examined by any one as to its origin! After careful consideration therefore, I put the money in a Safe Deposit Vault in the Bank, and came back to Nigeria… In February, 1999, I was wrongly accused of plotting to overthrow the Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; Therefore, I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of Nigeria.. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months…The members of the military Court-martial were sharply divided, and therefore a deadlock was the result; the relevant military law dictated that in the event of a deadlock, the accused must be re-tried after an independent investigation…I was therefore detained in a military detention facility for 4 years! Early last week, based on a report by the AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since December, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I HAVE NO MONEY, AND I HAVE NO TRAVELING DOCUMENTS (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I CANNOT travel to the UK at this time… Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly signed and executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you should wire all the money to your own Bank Account . For your help and assistance in this venture, you will have 25% of the money as your share. And I will keep 75% of the USD20 million. If you wish, you can ESTABLISH A JOINT-VENTURE CORPORATION, AND WE WILL INVEST THE WHOLE USD20 MILLION, USING THIS CORPORATION, WITH YOU HAVING 25% SHAREHOLDING, AND ME HAVING 75%, AS CHAIRMAN. I am therefore looking for a business partner who will help me to invest the sum of USD20,000,000.00 ( Twenty Million U S Dollars) abroad. Normal business practices and conditions will apply. This includes the establishment of a Corporation ( and a corporate Bank Account) in which you will be the minority shareholder, and I will be the majority shareholder, as CHAIRMAN I know how difficult it is to trust a stranger, but I must trust you because I really have no choice. I pray and hope that you will reciprocate my trust, and help me, especially in the investing of my money. All my life, I have been a Soldier; I do not know how to tell a debit from a credit on a ledger , and I will appreciate very much your help in helping me to invest my money. This is very important; You have to understand that left alone with my money, I could lose it all in a wrong or poor investment…It is therefore vital that my share of this money is invested profitably, and I am relying 100% on you for guidance and help. To summarize, I will request you to kindly travel to London, UK to manage the transaction as above. I am NOT able to advance any money for your traveling and hotel expenses. You will therefore kindly bear the expenses involved in this transaction, and thereafter deduct ALL YOUR EXPENSES accordingly when you have got the money from the HSBC Bank Plc. Finally, please let me assure you that this proposed transaction will be 100% legal and risk-free. Please reply immediately so that I can send you a DRAFT of POWER OF ATTORNEY which I have already prepared for your comments and review. Of course, you will need my signed and notarized Power of Attorney in order to transact on my behalf at HSBC Bank Plc, London. If you are interested in this venture, please reply immediately, providing the following information: 1. Your complete name and address 2. Your telephone and fax numbers 3. Your confidential email address for this transaction Regards, Brig-Gen.

My father foresaw the upcoming of the crisis in my country and deposited his fund with a Finance house. I am writing you for assistance if you can help us receive an amount of fund my late father deposited with a bank in Lome, Togo for the purchase of farm machineries and his future Investment.

I got your contact from a foreign confidant who works with the World Trade Organization. I am compelled by the important nature of the opportunity at hand to contact you so that we can explore avenues for cooperation in this mutually rewarding project. A very wealthy deceased customer of our Finance house Mr Talbot Chudja a Lebanese, left some large amount of money (US$45.5m) in a special domiciliary account with our security company since his death in 1998. In his will which has just been made available to us by his lawyer and family, he share his other wealth located in some other bank accounts judiciously among his family members and local welfare organizations, but requested specifically that the money in this account with us be allocated 100% to a foreign organization or individual trustee who will utilize it strictly for charity. In this will also, he gave sole authority for the nomination of this foreign trustee to his personal lawyer Mr Henry Danniels and the head of the domiciliary account department of this company, which position I am occupying at the moment. So the authority for the appointment of an administrator for this fund now lies solely in my hands and that of the attorney. Both of us (Attorney and myself) have met several times over this issue and have agreed mutually among ourselves to transact this inheritance in a way that it will be beneficial to the foreign trustee and us. In fact, we have decided to utilize only 20% of this fund for charity while reserve the rest for ourselves After deducting the overall cost (both foreign and local) incurred in executing this project, whatever balance left from the 80% will be shared equally between myself, the attorney and the foreign partner who will assist us to receive this money as the appointed trustee. Also the foreign partner will receive in addition to his share, 20% earmarked for charity under the strict agreement that this part must be spent for our late customer. I therefore solicit for your cooperation in this project so that your name and that of your company can be used as the appointed foreign trustee to whose care this will be transferred. It is very important to inform you that we have our office in Europe,London. To this effect, it is necessary that we have a meeting in london before the final transfer of the money is made. This meeting will afford us the opportunity to meet face to face and know ourselves. This should be the avenue where we can sit down together and discuss on the modalities of a successful transaction. After a successful meeting, we can then call for the money there in London and as a diplomat attached to the security company, we will not have any problem because my immunity will protect us. Please, you have to understand that a transaction of this magnitude and nature requires absolute secrecy so that no one else hears about it especially, our mutual agreement to utilize and disburse this fund as stated in the paragraph above. If you have agreed to offer your cooperation for this project, please reach me urgently through my Email:george_wings@yahoo.com I am waiting for your response. Best regards. George Wings.

I on behalf of my family decided to contact you because we are in dear need of your assistance. I got your contact through our chamber of commerce hence decided to write you. I am the son of his Excellency Henri Konan Bedie, who was the president of Cote d' Ivoire from 1993 to 24th December, 1999 when the Military junta led by Late Gen. Robert Guei toppled his government. When my father's government was toppled my entire family was driven into exile. During this period my parents lived in France while I lived with my siblings in South Africa. However, through an amnesty granted to my father by the incumbent president, Mr. Laurent Gbagbo, my father retuned back from exile in France on the 15th of October, 2001. Meanwhile, when my father was in power, I was working as his special aid and was coordinating his business in Africa and abroad. We had many deposit accounts with different financial institutions in Europe. Unfortunately for my family, the military government of Gen. Robert Guei that toppled my father's government got wind of some of our deposit account in a swift action, had 11 (eleven) of the account frozen in 9 (nine) banks in Switzerland and Luxemburg. The effect of this and ousting from power of my father within a short period of time was devastating to my family. All the while my family have been on exile we have lived under very critical financial condition with absolute resolve not to do anything that will lead the present government in my country to this remaining fund, which the military did not discover. It was this fund, US$ 28,000,000.00 (Twenty eight million United States dollars) which was deposited with a security company here in South Africa vault for Europe that they cannot trace because the fund was deposited as antiquity Africa artwork. The family intend to use the money for investment purposes to enable the family start life all over again. Therefore, the family urgently in need of a very competent and investor participant that we could entrust with the certificate of deposit and (Pin) personal identification number code to help us remove this fund from the security company since no means was used securing the vault most especially now that there is political unrest in my country. My family have agreed to offer to you 25% of the total sum for your kind assistance you render to us and set aside 5% for expenses incurred during the cause of transfer. Please kindly state your earliest responses to this email address and furnish us with your telephone and fax number for smooth communication.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL Dear Partner, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Mr Sodingo Malinga the first son of Tawanda Malinga,the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country.I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US12 million (Twelve million, United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum,and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylumseeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investmentment, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the properprofitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 15% of the money while the remaining 80% will be for my investment in your country,you can contact me with this number (0031-645-274-177) or with the above email address , awaiting your response as soon as possible. Thank you, and may GOD bless you, Yours Faithfully, Sodingo Malinga. From luckygarbi@z6.com Thu May 1 17:09 MET 2003 From: lucky garbi Subject: Geschaefts-Vorschlag. Date: Thu, 01 May 2003 17:07:25 +0200 lucky garbi luckygarbi@ecplaza.net 0031,629,325,360. Geschaefts-Vorschlag Sicher sind Sie verwundert, diese Nachricht von jemandem zu erhalten, den sie nicht persuenlich kennen. Der Grund weshalb ich mich an Sie wende ist das ich lucky garbi bin, der erstgeborene Sohn von garbi thembe, einem der bekanntesten schwarzen Farmer in Zimbabwe. Er wurde vor kurzem im Laufe des Landstreites in meinem Land ermordet. Ich erhielt Ihre Adresse durch das Internet und habe mich entschieden mich an Sie zu wenden. Bevor mein Vater starb, nahm er mich mit nach Johannesburg um dort einen Betrag von 8,5 Millionen US$ (acht Millionen, fuenfhunderttausend US Dollar) bei einer privaten Sicherheitsfirma zu deponieren. Er hat die drohende Gefahr geahnt und daher diesen Betrag in einer Kassette dort hinterlegt, die er als normales Wertgut deklarierte um keinen Verdacht zu erwecken und ausserdem die Kosten fuer die Hinterlegung gering zu halten. Niemand weiss also von dem Bargeld in dieser Kassette. Urspruenglich war dieser Betrag fuer neue Maschinen und Chemikalien fuer seine Farm gedacht, ausserdem wollte er neues Farmland in Swaziland erwerben und erschliessen. Das Landproblem entstand als der Praesident von Zimbabwe, Mr. Robert Mugabe, seine neue Landreform durchsetzte bei der nur die reichen weissen Farmer und einige wenige schwarze Farmer Vorteile verschafft wurden, fuer alle anderen war die Existenz nun bedroht. Daraus resultierten dann schliesslich die Unruhen die sich ausbreiteten und denen viele Menschen zum Opfer fielen und ihr Leben lassen mussten. Leider ist mein Vater ebenfalls eines dieser Opfer das sein Leben verlor. Vor diesem Hintergrund bin ich mit der Familie unter lebensgefaehrlichen Umstaenden aus Zimbabwe nach Holland geflohen, hier haben wir politisches Asyl beantragt. Das in Suedafrika zurueckgelassene Geld wollen wir nun der Sicherheit wegen auf ein Konto hier uebertragen. Das Gesetz in Holland verbietet es aber Menschen die politisches Asyl beantragt haben waehrend dieses Verfahrens ein Konto zu erueffnen oder irgendwelche Transfers die ueber die hollaendische Grenze hinausgehen abzuwickeln. Als der erstgeborene Sohn bin ich nun fuer meine ganze Familie verantwortlich und habe die Rolle meines Vaters als Bewacher und Beschuetzer uebernommen. Nun stehe ich vor dem Problem dieses Geld ohne Wissen der afrikanischen Regierung hierher zu transferieren, ansonsten wuerde man uns den gesamten Betrag enteignen, dieses Geld ist aber alles das uns noch geblieben ist. Die Suedafrikanische Regierung unterstuetzt wohl die Regierung Zimbabwes, so dass auch dort nichts von meinem Vorhaben bekannt werden darf. Die Zukunftsplaene beider Laender sind wohl genauso aehnlich wie es deren politische Vergangenheit ist.Als Geschaeftsmann suche ich nun nach einem Partner dem ich voll und ganz vertrauen kann, dem ich meine und auch die Zukunft meiner ganzen Familie anvertrauen kann. Ich muechte Sie wissen lassen, dass mein Plan vuellig ohne Risiko ist, falls Sie mir und meiner Familie helfen wollen. Alles worum ich Sie bitte, ist eine Vereinbarung mit der hollaendischen Niederlassung der Sicherheitsfirma zu treffen, das hinterlegte Wertgut auszuhaendigen. Ich meinerseits habe bereits Anweisung gegeben die Kassette von Suedafrika nach Holland zu senden. Vorher allerdings muessen noch einige wichtige Formalitaeten erledigt werden, wie die aenderung des Beguenstigten an diesem Wertgut. Weiterhin habe ich vor diese Geld nach Erhalt mueglichst gut und gewinnbringend zu investieren. Ich muechte Ihnen zwei Vorschlaege unterbreiten.Erstens biete ich Ihnen einen Teil der Gesamtsumme an, wenn Sie bereit waeren, Ihr eigenes Konto fuer diese Transaktion zur Verfuegung zu stellen.Oder aber Sie sind an einer Partnerschaft mit mir interessiert um diese Summe profitabel in Ihrem Land zu investieren.Egal welcher Vorschlag Ihnen mehr zusagt, zuegern Sie nicht mir Ihre Entscheidung mitzuteilen. Fuer alle entstehenden Unkosten habe ich 5% des Gesamtbetrages ingeplant. Sollten Sie nicht an einer Partnerschaft mit mir interessiert sein, biete ich Ihnen 10% des Betrages an und werde die verbleibenden 85% fuer meine Investitionen in Ihrem Land nutzen.Sie kuennen mich jederzeit unter dieser e-Mail Adresse erreichen: (luckygarbi@ecplaza.net) Ich bitte Sie jedoch um Ihre absolute Verschwiegenheit in dieser Angelegenheit Dritten gegenueber. Gott schuetze Sie Hochachtungsvoll Ihr ergebener Mr. lucky garbi From genkudi@emailacc.com Thu May 1 20:38 MET 2003 From: genkudi@emailacc.com Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 19:36:45 +0100 (BST) Subject: Please_Help! To: Attention: I am writing you from Nigeria, in West Africa. First, please permit me to give you the background. My full name is Kudi Browne; After the first Gulf War, the price of Crude Oil Petroleum shot up astronomically peaking at over 30 USD per barrel. Expectedly, the Nigeria Bonny Light Crude was in high demand, and Buyers from all over the World besieged the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC) for Crude Oil Lifting Rights. It was my job as the Chairman of the TASK FORCE ON CRUDE PETROLEUM OIL to grant the required LICENCES to lift Crude Petroleum Oil. I granted the Crude Oil Lifting Licenses only AFTER a thorough investigation and background check of all Foreign Companies who applied Surprisingly, most of the Foreign Companies who obtained (won) the Crude Oil Lifting Rights(Licenses) from me later showered me with Gifts amounting to thousands of USD! This cannot legally be described as bribe because I did not solicit for gifts or presents in advance; the gifts came only after the Licenses had been granted and the Crude lifted. In time, these presents and gifts accumulated to about USD20,000,000.00 For security reasons, I did not put the money in a Bank; rather, I hid the money in an underground Safe in my House. In December 1998, I traveled to London, UK to sign a Contract on Behalf of Nigeria,( and the NNPC), for the Turn Around Maintenance ( TAM) of the Kaduna Refinery. I used the Corporate jet of the NNPC for the 5 day trip. I also used this opportunity to fly my money, all USD20 million (cash) to the United Kingdom, and put the money securely boxed in a Safe Deposit Vault of the HSBC Bank Plc, UK. Please see http://www.hsbc.co.uk/ I decided NOT to put the money in a standard Bank Account because it could be traced Please bear in mind that this money belongs to me, but I did not care to be cross-examined by any one as to its origin! After careful consideration therefore, I put the money in a Safe Deposit Vault in the Bank, and came back to Nigeria In February, 1999, I was wrongly accused of plotting to overthrow the Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; Therefore, I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of Nigeria.. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months The members of the military Court-martial were sharply divided, and therefore a deadlock was the result; the relevant military law dictated that in the event of a deadlock, the accused must be re-tried after an independent investigation I was therefore detained in a military detention facility for 4 years! Early last week, based on a report by the AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since December, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I HAVE NO MONEY, AND I HAVE NO TRAVELING DOCUMENTS (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I CANNOT travel to the UK at this time Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly signed and executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you should wire all the money to your own Bank Account . For your help and assistance in this venture, you will have 25% of the money as your share. And I will keep 75% of the USD20 million. If you wish, you can ESTABLISH A JOINT-VENTURE CORPORATION, AND WE WILL INVEST THE WHOLE USD20 MILLION, USING THIS CORPORATION, WITH YOU HAVING 25% SHAREHOLDING, AND ME HAVING 75%, AS CHAIRMAN. I am therefore looking for a business partner who will help me to invest the sum of USD20,000,000.00 ( Twenty Million U S Dollars) abroad. Normal business practices and conditions will apply. This includes the establishment of a Corporation ( and a corporate Bank Account) in which you will be the minority shareholder, and I will be the majority shareholder, as CHAIRMAN I know how difficult it is to trust a stranger, but I must trust you because I really have no choice. I pray and hope that you will reciprocate my trust, and help me, especially in the investing of my money. All my life, I have been a Soldier; I do not know how to tell a debit from a credit on a ledger , and I will appreciate very much your help in helping me to invest my money. This is very important; You have to understand that left alone with my money, I could lose it all in a wrong or poor investment It is therefore vital that my share of this money is invested profitably, and I am relying 100% on you for guidance and help. To summarize, I will request you to kindly travel to London, UK to manage the transaction as above. I am NOT able to advance any money for your traveling and hotel expenses. You will therefore kindly bear the expenses involved in this transaction, and thereafter deduct ALL YOUR EXPENSES accordingly when you have got the money from the HSBC Bank Plc. Finally, please let me assure you that this proposed transaction will be 100% legal and risk-free. Please reply immediately so that I can send you a DRAFT of POWER OF ATTORNEY which I have already prepared for your comments and review. Of course, you will need my signed and notarized Power of Attorney in order to transact on my behalf at HSBC Bank Plc, London. If you are interested in this venture, please reply immediately, providing the following information: 1. Your complete name and address 2. Your telephone and fax numbers 3.

Before the death of my father (Dr.WENGA), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the sum of Ten Million United States dollars (US$10.000,000) in a security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company.The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which my father rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and Mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society,infact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims.It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign account. Since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred .

Attn: Dear Friend, I am Obong Attahmanager of Bill of Exchange of the foreign operation Department of EcoBank of Nigeria Plc. I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who run a consultancy firm. He assured me of your capability and reliability. Although, I did not tell him the details of the business I will want to do with you. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$6.5million(Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers who died along side with his entire family in November 1998 in a plane crash. Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide. Unfortunately, we leant that all his supposed next of kin or relations died along with him at the plane crash. It therefore, upon discovery that some officials and myself in the department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation to the deceased for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as a next of kin to a foreigner. We agreed that 25% that is negotiable of this money would be for you as foreign partner. Thereafter myself will visit your country for the disbursement / investing our share according to the percentages indicated. Please be honest to me. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to your account as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as next of kin to the deceased. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application with the name of the deceased and his country and other information about him. . And I am assuring you that it is total risk free as far as you would keep to the secrecy and cooperation the transaction deserves. So you need not to be afraid. Expect a positive response from you soonest. Best Regards, Mr. Obong Attah.

Warmest regards, Joseph Mobutu Sese-Seko From kubrown77a@tatanova.com Mon May 5 23:50 MET 2003 To: kubrown77file@tatanova.com From: kubrown77a Cc: Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 03:17:09 +0530 Subject: Subject: Please Help! Attention: FOR SECURITY REASONS PLEASE REPLY ONLY IN THIS EMAIL ADDRESS; 1) kubrown77c@ziplip.com I am writing you from Nigeria, in West Africa. First, please permit me to give you the background. My full name is Kudi Browne; After the first Gulf War, the price of Crude Oil Petroleum shot up astronomically peaking at over 30 USD per barrel. Expectedly, the Nigeria Bonny Light Crude was in high demand, and Buyers from all over the World besieged the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC) for Crude Oil Lifting Rights. It was my job as the Chairman of the TASK FORCE ON CRUDE PETROLEUM OIL to grant the required LICENCES to lift Crude Petroleum Oil. I granted the Crude Oil Lifting Licenses only AFTER a thorough investigation and background check of all Foreign Companies who applied…Surprisingly, most of the Foreign Companies who obtained (won) the Crude Oil Lifting Rights(Licenses) from me later showered me with “Gifts” amounting to thousands of USD! This cannot legally be described as bribe because I did not solicit for gifts or presents in advance; the gifts came only after the Licenses had been granted and the Crude lifted. In time, these “presents and gifts” accumulated to about USD20,000,000.00…For security reasons, I did not put the money in a Bank; rather, I hid the money in an underground Safe in my House. In December 1998, I traveled to London, UK to sign a Contract on Behalf of Nigeria,( and the NNPC), for the Turn Around Maintenance ( TAM) of the Kaduna Refinery. I used the Corporate jet of the NNPC for the 5 day trip. I also used this opportunity to fly my money, all USD20 million (cash) to the United Kingdom, and put the money securely boxed in a Safe Deposit Vault of the HSBC Bank Plc, UK. Please see http://www.hsbc.co.uk/ I decided NOT to put the money in a standard Bank Account because it could be traced…Please bear in mind that this money belongs to me, but I did not care to be cross-examined by any one as to its origin! After careful consideration therefore, I put the money in a Safe Deposit Vault in the Bank, and came back to Nigeria… In February, 1999, I was wrongly accused of plotting to overthrow the Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; Therefore, I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of Nigeria.. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months…The members of the military Court-martial were sharply divided, and therefore a deadlock was the result; the relevant military law dictated that in the event of a deadlock, the accused must be re-tried after an independent investigation…I was therefore detained in a military detention facility for 4 years! Early last week, based on a report by the AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since December, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I HAVE NO MONEY, AND I HAVE NO TRAVELING DOCUMENTS (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I CANNOT travel to the UK at this time… Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly signed and executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you should wire all the money to your own Bank Account . For your help and assistance in this venture, you will have 25% of the money as your share. And I will keep 75% of the USD20 million. If you wish, you can ESTABLISH A JOINT-VENTURE CORPORATION, AND WE WILL INVEST THE WHOLE USD20 MILLION, USING THIS CORPORATION, WITH YOU HAVING 25% SHAREHOLDING, AND ME HAVING 75%, AS CHAIRMAN. I am therefore looking for a business partner who will help me to invest the sum of USD20,000,000.00 ( Twenty Million U S Dollars) abroad. Normal business practices and conditions will apply. This includes the establishment of a Corporation ( and a corporate Bank Account) in which you will be the minority shareholder, and I will be the majority shareholder, as CHAIRMAN I know how difficult it is to trust a stranger, but I must trust you because I really have no choice. I pray and hope that you will reciprocate my trust, and help me, especially in the investing of my money. All my life, I have been a Soldier; I do not know how to tell a debit from a credit on a ledger , and I will appreciate very much your help in helping me to invest my money. This is very important; You have to understand that left alone with my money, I could lose it all in a wrong or poor investment…It is therefore vital that my share of this money is invested profitably, and I am relying 100% on you for guidance and help. To summarize, I will request you to kindly travel to London, UK to manage the transaction as above. I am NOT able to advance any money for your traveling and hotel expenses. You will therefore kindly bear the expenses involved in this transaction, and thereafter deduct ALL YOUR EXPENSES accordingly when you have got the money from the HSBC Bank Plc. Finally, please let me assure you that this proposed transaction will be 100% legal and risk-free. Please reply immediately so that I can send you a DRAFT of POWER OF ATTORNEY which I have already prepared for your comments and review. Of course, you will need my signed and notarized Power of Attorney in order to transact on my behalf at HSBC Bank Plc, London. If you are interested in this venture, please reply immediately, providing the following information: 1. Your complete name and address 2. Your telephone and fax numbers 3.

I am MECK MAHABILE, the son of JAMES MAHABILE, the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe. He was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred United States dollars), in one of the security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This fund was deposited in a box as gemstones for concealment and to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President, Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few rich black farmers who are opposed to him and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. The problem is yet unresolved as some white farmers who could not quit are being arrested by the government. It is against this background that my family and I fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives of which i am currently staying in the Netherlands seeking political asylum. Moreover, I have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account WHERE IT WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE AND NOT TRACED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to have such amount of money in any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction of such magnitude throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, I am seeking a partner, who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands.I must let you know that this transaction is risk free, if you accept to assist me. All I want you to do for me is to make an arrangement with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands. I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought from South Africa to The Netherlands. All modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership of the consignment in your name as the empowered sole beneficiary so that you can be contacted by the security company and clear the consignment on my behalf. I have two reward options for you. Firstly, I can give you a certain percentage preferably 20 (percent)of the funds for your role in clearing the consignment and ensuring that the fund is transferred into an account which you have control over. Secondly,you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5( five percent) of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred by you to defray them at the successful completion of this transaction. You may reply me by giving me your telephone and fax numbers so that I will send to you all the necessary documents once you have decided and willing to help while maintaining the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thank You.

NIGERIA Direct fax : 234-91-2720885 Phone Number:234-9-2721345 Mobile line: 234-803-328-8619 Good day, It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent, important and confidential business proposal to you. I am a Thirty Nine (39) year old Attorney in practice here in Nigeria. One of my clients was late MR. SEOM GIM TCHII, a Taiwanese National (Now deceased). Three years ago, MR. TCHII secured a contract from the Federal Government of Nigeria valued at US$39Million. He received mobilization fee of US$15.6Million and successfully executed the contract, but the balance of the contract payment (US$23.4Million) is still unpaid. MR. TCHII was still pursuing the release of this money, when on June 2001, MR. TCHII, his wife and only daughter died in a ghastly motor accident in Lagos. They were buried two weeks after. The Federal Government of Nigeria has now directed (with a provision in this year's budget) the payment of all Contractors who have satisfactorily executed their Contracts. The payment is by quarterly disbursements. MR. TCHII'S Contract payment is among those approved for release this quarter. As his personal Attorney before his death, I have been officially notified and instructed to forward particulars of MR. TCHII'S next of kin so that the money can be remitted into his/her account. However, as attorney and close confidant of MR. TCHII, I know that he did not leave any WILL (because of his sudden death). This money will therefore be paid into the account of whoever I present as MR. TCHII'S next of kin with proof of affinity, affidavits and other documents. Simply, I intend to channel this money to the account of a clever but reliable person who upon successful payment of the funds, will earn 25% thereof, 70% will be for me and some Government officials who will assist me to approve the payment and 5% is to offset all expenses to be incurred in the documentation process. Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been concluded to present the person as TCHII'S next of kin and consequently, the beneficiary of the fund. This transaction will take about 14 working days to conclude as soon as you indicate your interest. For prompt action, contact me urgently through email or fax:234-91-2720885 or call my direct line: 234-9-2721345.

From jamesufon5050@netsape.net Wed May 7 14:56 MET 2003 From: JAMES STEVENS To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE Date: Wed, 07 May 2003 14:00:50 +0200 URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED E-MAIL jamesufon5050@netscape.net You may be surprise to receive this Email from me since you do not know me personally. However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Mr. James Stevens, the son of Dr. Denis Stevens who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe as a result of land dispute. Before the death of my father (Dr. Stevens), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the sum of Twenty-Two Million United States Dollars (US$22,000,000) in a Security and Finance Company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the Security and Finance Company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which many rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money with the Security and Finance Company to a foreign account since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred . I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. As a businessman, whom I have entrusted my future and my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I need you to do for me is to make arrangement and come to AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, so that we can open the non-resident account which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend using for investment. I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for the transaction, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever option you choose, feel free to notify me. I have mapped out 5% of this money for all expenses incurred in processing the transaction. If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% that is meant for me, will be for the investment in your country. Please, contact me on the above Email so that we can discuss further. Yours faithfully, MR.

Date: Sat, 10 May 2003 15:31:14 +0200 MRS GLORIA MABEBE & PRINCE JOHN MABEBE JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA TEL:27-83-429-5848 ATTN:DIRECTOR/CEO. FUND TRANSFER ASSISTANCE. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am PRINCE.JOHN MABEBE the first son of MR.CHIVUNE MABEBE,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online hence decidedto write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$20Million (Twenty Million United States Dollars), in one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR.ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers.This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father s money to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction througout the teritorial zones of South Africa.

From: "charlesdorman@libero.it" To: "charlesdorman" From: Charles Dorman Request for assistance. Dear Sir, It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since telephone communication can not be suitable enough to communicate to you at first. I am the only son of my father, late Chief Alfred Dorman from KWANATAL ZULU in Republic of South Africa (SA). I am 22 years of age. My father was a limited liability Cocoa and Gold merchant in JOHANNESBURG South Africa before his untimely death after his business trip to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, to negotiate on a cocoa and gold business he wanted to invest in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. A Week after he came back from Abidjan, he was attacked with my mother by unknown assassins, which my mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of $15,800,000,00 US Dollars (FIFTEEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) in a bank here in Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire.That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold company he wanted to establish in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire though, according to my father he deposited the money in a confident account of the bank and he handed to me all the relevant documents of the deposited fund and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating the bank here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and I am soliciting for your assistance to help me to transfer this money out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we will invest it in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. Please kindly contact me through email immediately for more discussion. Thanks for your kind attention.

EMMANUEL STEVENS" To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE Date: Sat, 10 May 2003 23:46:42 +0200 MR. EMMANUEL STEVENS You may be surprise to receive this Email from me since you do not know me personally. However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Mr. Emmanuel Stevens, the son of Dr. Denis Stevens who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe as a result of land dispute. Before the death of my father (Dr. Stevens), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the sum of Twenty-Two Million United States Dollars (US$22,000,000) in a Security and Finance Company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the Security and Finance Company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which many rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money with the Security and Finance Company to a foreign account since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred . I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. As a businessman, whom I have entrusted my future and my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I need you to do for me is to make arrangement and come to AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, so that we can open the non-resident account which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend using for investment. I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for the transaction, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever option you choose, feel free to notify me. I have mapped out 5% of this money for all expenses incurred in processing the transaction. If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% that is meant for me, will be for the investment in your country. Please, contact me on the above Email so that we can discuss further. Yours faithfully, MR.

I am Mr.Philip Thobela,a senior Account Manager (Transfer& Return) with the the Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana. First and foremost i apologise using this medium in communicating with you in such buisness,this is due to prompt access reposed on it. For over three years now, an account has been lying dormant with a closing balance of United States Dollars and five hundred thousand(US$7.5M).Our investigation revealed that the account belongs to a Gold and Mining marchant, Mr Simon who has since died. Since his death, no one has come forward to claim to this inheretance as none was stated in his dosier/file, hence we decided to reguest your assistance in claiming this inheretance. Every four years, all banking institutions are obliged to return such money to the coffers of the Treasury of the Central Bank in compliance with the Banking Laws and Guidelines and in my ten years experience at the bank,i have seen many of these cases. Consequently, after careful and prolong deliberation we decided to seize this once in a life time opportunity to solicit your assistance to lay claims to these inheretance as the benefactor and to enable us transfer these funds for our own benefit to aviod any suspicion we decided not to use a local national since Mr.Simon was a foreigner so is the beneficiary and i must assure you that it is completely risk free and all necessary documents to effect transfer within days are at desk to expendite the procedure. If you are interested and willing to assist, pleaase contact me on the above e-mail address to discuss in details regarding what information is required of you and your share of these fund as partner to this transaction. I will request further assistance as i intend to invest part of my share into a buisness venture immediately. I look forward to hearing from you.

He banked with us at Ned Bank,Johannesbourg and had a closing balance worth $33,800.000.00 (Thirty Three Million eight hundred United State Dollars), (this is aside the accrued interest so far from that date) the bank now expects his next of kin as beneficiary.Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Family or Relatives but to no success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of his family next of kin. The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, that arrangement has been made for the fund to be decleared "Unclaimed" and subsequentlly be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in General. In order to avert this negative development, In my capacity as the audit, who ever I recommend becomes the next of kin I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin. so that the fund will be released and paid into your Account as the beneficiary next of kin.

With due respect and regards,I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of moneybelonging to a deceased person(An American citizen),who died on 31st October 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution. The amount involved is (26US$)million united states dollars only.I got your contact through some discreet inquiry from the chamber of commerce and industry, you and your organization were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business transaction.. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claimover this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives/needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. In fact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it require,s a second party or fellow who will forward claims to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased foreign and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account. I will no fail to inform youthat this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of the total money and 5% for expenses, as gratification, while 75% will be for me and my partners for proper Investment. Please,you have been advice to keep this information top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or in any other country you may advice to invest on.

DR BENSON MAKELELE DIRECTOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION (MEMR) DIRECT TEL NO: 0027 731 522 629 Attn, On behalf of my colleagues and I, I write this letter with great pleasure. Your information were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Black Economic Empowerment Commission (Government) delegation on a trip to the United States during a bilateral conference talk to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a business transaction hereunder for the benefit of all parties. Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work as the Director of Project Implementation, with co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$14,300,000.00 (Fourteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. The Government of the Republic of South Africa believe that private investment in general, and foreign direct investment in particular, are the real engines for sustainable economic development, for which reason it has continued to encourage investment in the key growth-oriented sector of Mining with sincere determination to pay foreign contractors all debts owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close relationship, and a mutually beneficial co-operation with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance to be the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. The changing of beneficiary's information/details and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the contract money and its approvals will be secured on behalf of your company or your good self. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 30% while my colleagues and I shall receive 60%, and the balance of 10% shall be used to reimburse all expenditures, taxes and miscellaneous expenses so incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields win major contracts, and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution.

From solomongarba22@netscape.net Tue May 13 16:32 MET 2003 From: SOLOMON GARBA ZHIRI To: gonnet@inf.ethz.ch Subject: A CRY FOR HELP Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 16:21:54 +0200 Good Day, With warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Solomon Garba Zhiri, the son of Zhiri Mulete, a farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution and infact to his political party members and my father though black was the treasury of the farmers association and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support the president's idea. He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm and burn down everything in the farm. They killed myfather and took away a lot of items from his farm. After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father handed us over the WILL documents with instructions from my father that we should leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him. The WILL documents has a certificate of deposit, confirming a cash deposit totaling Fifteen million five hundred thousand united state dollars.[$15.5m] Kept in custody for us in a security company unknown to the company that the content is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings. This money was deposited with this Private Security Company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana.This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe to Holland with the help of my father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from Australia also a farmer who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family following this ugly development I have tried to reach him but all to no avail. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum is because the security company from Zimbabwe has a branch here in Holland, I have contacted them to move the safe deposit from their office in Harare here to their office here in Holland, which they have done since. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred,and who can front me as the beneficiary inorder to help me claim the FUND hence this proposal to you. You have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big and brave one, and it entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transferred fromZimbabwe Harare to their branch here in the Netherland. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 25% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here or in your country, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 5 % of this money for all kinds of expenses that may come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 25% for your moral and financial assistance then the balance will be left in the account for me,which I may follow you to your country for investment purposes. Please, I want you to maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. You can reach me on this mobile phone number most of the time on 0031 630350219 I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.

I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporatio(NNPC). Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in NNPC by my Committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. U.S. Dollars. This was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now want to transfer this money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us. SHARE: - For providing the account where we shall remit the money into, you will be entitled to 30% of the money,60% will be for me andmy partners while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses that maybe incurred by us during the course of this transfer,both locally and international expenses.

I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of Nine Million five hundred thousand United States Dollars($9.5,000,000.00) now in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to your private account pending our arrival to your country. SOURCE OF THE MONEY My late father, chief Vincent Kamara, a native of mende district in the Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my father. This money was the income accrued from mining co-operation's over draft and minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal effects . My father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the war when he will join us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the sierra Leone mining co-op was one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in November 1999 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death, and with the news of my uncles involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart failure and other related complications of which she later died in t fter we must have spent a lot of money on her. Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in the fund our father deposited in the BANK. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.

However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Mr. Emmanuel Stevens, the son of Dr. Denis Stevens who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe as a result of land dispute. Before the death of my father (Dr. Stevens), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the sum of Twenty-Two Million United States Dollars (US$22,000,000) in a Security and Finance Company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the Security and Finance Company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which many rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money with the Security and Finance Company to a foreign account since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred . I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. As a businessman, whom I have entrusted my future and my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I need you to do for me is to make arrangement and come to AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, so that we can open the non-resident account which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend using for investment. I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for the transaction, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever option you choose, feel free to notify me. I have mapped out 5% of this money for all expenses incurred in processing the transaction. If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% that is meant for me, will be for the investment in your country.

He died in the hospital where he told me about some deposit he made with a security company in Ivory Coast.He said he made arrangement with a security firm that transports valuable goods and consignments through diplomatic means to lift some profit he made from his business field. The money involves the amount of 14Million Dollars. He declared that the consignment was solid gold and his foreign business partner owned it.He advised me to leave Zimbabwe immediately. Since introducing the reforms three years ago, our government has so far seized more than 11 million hectares of farmland from whites and blacks and redistributed it to 320 000 of their related families. Thousands of former farm workers have been left destitute after they lost their jobs following the seizure of their lands. My mother died of complications due to the untimely death of my father. Please I am contacting you because I want you to confirm to me ASAP your possibility of coming to the security company and claim the money on my behalf since my late father declared that the consignment belongs to his foreign business partner. You shall also be required to assist me in investments in your country. I am presently in Ivory Coast because of this.This is my reason for writing to you.I trust you as a God fearing person who will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me properly. Please if you are willing to assist me indicate your interest and I will appreciate your calling me on telephone (225) 0741 8384 before sending email. I promise to give you 15% of the money for helping me. Thanks and best regards, Edward Meaka.

These funds emanated from unclaimed contractual proceeds of foreign contracting firms who could not meet their financial obligations to their creditors. We, as holders of sensitive positions in our various parastatals,were mandated by the Federal Government to scrutinise all payments made to certain foreign contractors and we discovered that some of the contractors have not been paid their contractual entitlement which collectively left the sum of US$46,500,000.00 (Fourty six Million, five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) lying in a suspended Account. However, from our investigations, we discovered that the foreign beneficiary companies have since been liquidated, and to all intents and purposes no longer exist in Nigeria, thus providing us with this opportunity, provided that we have a capable partner, to execute a transaction of this nature.We agreed that the said amount would be transferred into an overseas Bank Account to be provided by a reliable foreign firm/associate. This is because as serving Government workers the Civil Service Code does not allow us to operate foreign Account. In our initial attempt to do this, we succeeded in transferring part of this amount US$5m (Five Million Dollars) into a United States Dollar Account in Beirut, Lebanon, but our foreign associate failed to honour our mutual agreement insisting instead that the total amount be transferred into the Account before we can share the money. As a result, we have lost confidence in the ability of our Lebanese partner to see this matter to its logical conclusion, and until the initial transaction is satisfactorily resolved, we have cancelled further transactions with him. In the light of the foregoing, it is clear that we require a partner that is not only capable of rendering assistance and cooperation in executing this matter, but will honour the terms of agreement when we reach the concluding stages of this transaction. We therefore offer the amount of 20% of the entire sum in return for services/assistance rendered in successfully carrying out this project. We trust that you appreciate the sensitive nature of this matter and the need for initial caution on our part, but when a relationship is confidently established and operations commence you will be provided with all relevant information. I remain at your disposal to entertain any questions/enquiries relating to this proposition and you may contact me as a matter of urgency via e-mail for further information on the procedures and requirements of this transaction. In your reply, remember to indicate a safe telephone number where I can always reach you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Pretoria, South Africa. Attn, On behalf of my colleagues and I, I write this letter with great pleasure. Your information were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Black Economic Empowerment Commission (Government) delegation on a trip to the United States during a bilateral conference talk to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a business transaction hereunder for the benefit of all parties. Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work as the Director of Project Implementation, with co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$14,300,000.00 (Fourteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. The Government of the Republic of South Africa believe that private investment in general, and foreign direct investment in particular, are the real engines for sustainable economic development, for which reason it has continued to encourage investment in the key growth-oriented sector of Mining with sincere determination to pay foreign contractors all debts owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close relationship, and a mutually beneficial co-operation with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance to be the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. The changing of beneficiary's information/details and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the contract money and its approvals will be secured on behalf of your company or your good self. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 30% while my colleagues and I shall receive 60%, and the balance of 10% shall be used to reimburse all expenditures, taxes and miscellaneous expenses so incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields win major contracts, and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution. This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. Also your > pecialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this mutual beneficiary transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me by email for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal. Regards, Dr. John Disi.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I got your contact from the world trade center (W.T.C.) regional office in Lagos, Nigeria although the details of my intention was not made known to them. On June 6 1999, An American oil consultant / contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at US$45,500,000.00 (Forty Five Million five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact employers Nigerian National Petroleum corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$45,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old mans labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple: - 1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. 2. We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the n e /administration in your favour for the transfer. 3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next of kin of Mr. Barry Kelly. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

THIS MONEY WAS DEPOSITED IN A BOX AS DIPLOMATIC ITEMS OF HIGH VALUE TO REDUCE THE COST OF TRANSPORTATIONAND TO AVOID MUCH DEMURAGE FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY. THIS AMOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINES AND CHEMICALS FOR FARMS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARM IN SWAZILAND. THIS LAND PROBLEM CAME WHEN ZIMBABWE PRESIDENT MR. ROBERT MUGABE, INTRODUCED A NEW LAND RESOLUTION THAT WHOLLY AFFECTED RICH FARMERS MAINLY WHITE AND SOME FEW BLACK FARMERS. THIS RESULTED TO THE KILLING AND MOB ACTION BY ZIMBABWE WAR VETERANS AND SOME LUNATICS IN THE SOCIETY.INFACT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS LAND REFORMED PROGRAM WHICH MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS. IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND THAT I AM CURRENTLY STAYING IN AMSTERDAM AS A REFUGEE AND TO SEEK FOR A TRUST WORTHY INDIVIDUAL/FIRM TO ADVICE ME IN MAKING THE RIGHTFULL INVESTMENT AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE FOREIGN ACCOUNT(S) WHERE THE FUNDS WILL BE LODGE INTO. SINCE THE LAW OF THE NETHERLANDS PROHIBIT A REFUGEE (ASYLUM SEEKER) TO OPEN ACCOUNT OR TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY FINACIAL TRANSACTION.

I got your contact on my private search for a reliable and trusted person to handle a transaction of this nature. I know that the contents of the mail might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that every word of it is true. I am the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Standard Trust And Investment Bank Plc. We had a customer, a Foreigner (Swedish) resident in Nigeria. He was a contractor to one of the government parastatals. He has inhis account with my bank the sum of US$23.5M. Unfortunately, the man died a year ago and has been buried. Our banking law implies that upon the death of a customer, all deposit of the customer shall be transferred to his nearest next of kin. It was however, surprising to us that since his death, no one has come to claim his fund as his next of kin. We have equally made several attempts tolocate any possible next of kin to the m an, but to no avail. Until today, the fund still remains unclaimed. Consequently, I want to inform you that since the funds have remained unclaimed, it is my intention to retrieve the money. But due to our banking policy, I cannot personally retrieve the money as I occupy a high position in the banking industry. I Prof David Wayas, MD/CEO was conferred with the National Honor of Member of the Order the Federal Republic[MFR} by the Federal Government of Nigeria. This award is an affirmation of my high level of professionalism and ethical standard, as well as my other contributions to the society at large. So an attempt by me to retrieve the funds personally will be a serious jeopardy to my integrity in office as everybody and the government has held me to a high esteem, as evident in the MFR award recently conferred on me. Having noticed this, I in collaboration with another top executive of the bank, Mr. Godwin Emefi ele who was recently elevated to the position of Deputy Managing Director have perfectly covered up the account till this moment otherwise it would have been frozen. Our intention now is to front you as the next of kin to the deceased customer so that the money will be paid to you. We will use our position,authority and influence in the bank to actualize this, getting all necessary internal and external documentation to back up your being fronted as the next of kin. This is therefore assuring you that there is no risk whatsoever involved in this transaction. What we need now is your response of your interest to participate. Thereafter we will furnish you with the details of the procedure. As soon as you receive this message, kindly get back to me indicating your interest, them I will furnish you with the whole procedure to ensure you that this deal is successfully concluded. For your assistance, we have agreed to give you 2 0 p ercent of the total sum. Time is of great essence to us in this transaction; hence you are expected to get back to us immediately on your participation so that we can move ahead. In the case you decide not to participate, we solicit that you equally get back to us to save us time so that can contact another person. Considering, the nature of this transaction and our position in office we ask that you try to keep this transaction secret between only us. I await your response. Regards, Prof.David Wayas.

I have decided to notify you to ask for your assistance,because of your integrity and goodwill. In bringing this message to you, I have to say that I have no Intention of causing you any personal pains or discomfort. I am Mr. Albert Etiebet, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Etiebet of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of February 2002. Presently, I am desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business, We have decided to look for assistance outside with those that will not capitalise on our present conditon to purnich us, Because those we used to call our friends and family friends over here have all deserted us with almost of all our properties and belongings we entrusted with them. My late father, Jonas Etiebet lodged huge sums of money realized from the sales of diamonds and other precious stones / metals in different banks in overseas. My father is presently no more, and the movement of his family members (including me) is highly restricted, all his bank accounts and properties have been frozen and seized. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our immediate localities. Presently, I have just discovered a huge deposit made by my father from the money realized from the last sales of diamonds before is death amounting to US$28,500,000.00 (TWENTY EIGHT MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, my father had deposited this money as diplomatic consignment with a security firm in the Netherlands , I have called the security firms and they have confirm to me that the consignment is with them. I have all the documents with me right now that will be needed to collect the consignment from the security firm, my father has instructed the security firm in his deposit request to release consignment to any of his three family members which includes myself, my mother and only sister who is also dead incase of emergency or death. Right now my family has given me the authority to do everything possible to get the consignment out as this is the only hope we have now to bring the family out of its present poor financial state. I am therefore soliciting your help to have this consignment collected by you and the funds transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary documentations that will facilitate your collection of the consignment personally in Amsterdam. The government has no or will never have knowledge of this business, so there is nothing for you to be worried about regarding your safety. I guarantee your safety during this transaction. Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately send to you the relevant documents that will enable you take possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit and shipment airway bill and all other relevant documents. Meanwhile all I need from you now is as follows: 1. Your confirmation of your ability to handle this. 2. Your word that you will keep this business as confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business. 3. Your confidential telephone and fax numbers for communication. 4. Your full Name and Permanent address. As soon as I get the above information from you, I will also send to you a LETTER OF AUTHORITY and AGREEMENT to enable you clear the consignment on my behalf. Note that this is a very safe transaction as the Angola government has no knowledge that such money is still in existence. However, in return for all your assistance and troubles we have decided to offer you 15% of the total amount of money as your share and 5% for all your expenses which will include your travel expenses to Amsterdam or America where we may decide to collect this fund, and every other expenses you incure in the cause of this transaction, such as your telephone bills etc, this makes a total of 20% my family has agreed to give to you for helping us secure the money.

However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Michael Stevens Junior, the son of Doctor. Simon Stevens. Who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe, as a result of land dispute? Before the death of my father (Dr. Stevens), he had taken me to Amsterdam and deposit the sum of Fifteen Million United States dollars (US$15,000,000) in a security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which my father rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and Mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society, a lot of people were killed because of this Land reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and Iaugustim who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign account. Since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As The eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. I humbly solicit for your assistance in the following: 1) Pay a short working day visit to Amsterdam the Netherlands so that we see face to face, Have a table talk that would create confidence in me that the funds will be safe in your hands and have an agreement from an advocate, which will be duly and legally sign in his chambers before taken any step in this transaction. 2) Get the entire necessary document regarding this transaction and claim the boxes from the security company, open an account in your name with a local bank here and deposit the money for onward transfer to your designated account in overseas. 3) Make a good arrangement for investment and do invest the money for me, I am willing to give you some percentage for your assistance on this, and I offer you 15%. 5% for any expenses, including your telephone calls and any other expenses that may arise during this process. 80% would be invested and you get your wages monthly for managing the funds. Contact me on the above Email, provide me with your telephone and fax number so we can discuss further and a chance for you to ask me any question you may have in mind, while you maintain the absolute secrecy required in the transaction. Please kindly get back to me with your detail contacts. Sincere Regards, Michael Stevens Junior.

Since, we got the information about his death ,we have been expecting his NEXT OF KIN to come up to claim his money.Several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of the extended Relatives,has proved abortive. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I then decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence my contact with you. The Banking and Financial Law of the bank,stipulates that, if such funds remained unclaimed after a maximum period of Seven (7) years it should be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. Since we have been unsuccessful in locating the Relatives for over 6 years now, I and other officials in my department have agreed to do business with you by presenting you as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased and then release the total amount into your nominated bank account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered the maintained account with our bank. The need for a foreigner as a Next of Kin in this project is due to the fact that the victim was a foreigner and as such a we cannot stand as his NEXT OF KIN. We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be 40 % for you as our foreign partner, 60 % for us the officials in my department .As soon as the funds hits your account, I and two of my colleagues will proceed to your country for our own share.

It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity and from a family with high moral respect . My name is Julius Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, My motherand Idecided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet,as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here. I need you to assist in receiving this consignment from the security compamy. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to be involved in such transactions and my mother advised that it will be better for our foreign partner to help receive this fund to avoid any eye brown being raised by Robert Mugabe, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner,who will assist in receiving the funds and also investing it wisely in a profitable venture.You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Africa to their branch in The Netherlands. The company will be legally informed of you representing my family. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping my family investing this funds, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% ($580,000,00) for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting in representing my family to receive this funds, then 85%will be left for my family. Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on my private line which is 31 613 748 701 or via email julius@mmail.com.

Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we 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.nfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has everappeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus;20 % for you as foreign partner,75 % for us the officials in my department and 5 % for the settlement of all localandforeign expences incurred by us and you during the course of this business.Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 75 % we intend to invest in (estate) and import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone number, fax number full name and address and your designated bank coordinates to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.

My name is Zainab Mbane, a South African and one of the concubines of the late senior Iraqi official in Basra and also a cousin to former President Saddam Hussein of Iraq.He is popularly called Chemical Ali because of his usage of chemical weapons against the Kurdish uprising during the past Gulf War.He was killed by the British/American coalition troop in this war of regime change in Iraq. Few weeks before the war,as it was already crystal clear to the regime that the coalition troop must attack Iraq,Ali Transferred (US$68.5 Million) Sixty-eight million, five hundred thousand dollars to a security and finance company in The Netherlands for safe keeping through their corresponding office in Syria where the money was deposited.This funds was dposited in Syria with my name as co-beneficiary and what make things more interesting is that,I was given custody of all the documents hence its only both of us that knows about this transaction.It was two days to our departure from Iraq through Syria before his death and I decided coming to the Netherlands alone so as to effect the release of this funds from the security and finance company especially as the hunt for all Iraqi senior officials and families in top gear by the coalition forces. I arrived The Netherlands few days back with all the documents relating to this funds immediately and I solicited for political asylum immediately.I never disclosed this transaction to the Netherlands authority because I have been advised by my lawyer that the goverment will confiscate it.I contacted the security and finance company here in the Netherlands and they cofirmed being in possession of the funds but insisted that they cannot approve the funds for me because of my political status.They claimed that political refugees are not entitled to operate a bank accountthat takes more(1.000 euro.) Due to this circumstances,I was asked to introduce a reputable,truswhorty and reliable foreign investor with good religious,political and economic position as beneficiary so as to claim this funds on my behalf and push it into his or her nominated bank account from there,my share will be invested wisely in your country by you or sent to Africa for me. For rendering this assistance,your share will be 35% of the total sum while I will be entitled to 60%.The balance 5% will be for any unforseen lawyer expenses so as to secure the power of arttoney to change the documents,flight and hotels bills during your visit to release the funds with the security and finance company.The balace will be donated to charity homes in Africa. I will refrain from giving out more operational details untill I receive your response.Since time is of great essence to me,reply this letter quickly so as to know what to do,even if this letter does not meet your approval,please inform me.There is no risk involved as I have done my homework with my lawyer who is prepard to help as soon as you respond positively.After response,I will forward the lawyer's telephone number to you so that he can explain the release procedure in detail. Looking forward to hearing from you and may God continue to protect and bless us....AMEN. Yours Sincerely, Zainab Mbane.

I am Gregory Kabila, the son of the former head of state president of Congo-Kinshasha (then called Zaire) Mr. Laurent Desire Kabila. I am contacting you in order to ask for your assistance on this confidential Business proposal with full financial benefit for both of us. Before I go into further details please be informed that I am writing without any other person(s) pre-knowledge of my contacting you on this transaction. Therefore I will appreciate same attitude to be maintained all through. I have the sum of USD48Million from a secret sale of Diamond by my father before he was assassinated by one of his body guard (Rashid) on January 16th 2001, which I will like you to receive on my behalf due to security reasons, as my narration below will explain. But before I continue be well informed that your share in this transaction has been calculated at 25% of the total sum of USD$48M, 5% for expenses and the rest for my family and me. My father as a real African traditionalist was a polygamist thereby having married so many wives, and my mother being the second wife of my father, My stepbrother Joseph, who is the current president of my country, is the son of the first wife and he does not have any knowledge about this deal. Already president Joseph is using his power to colonize all the money and private property, which my father left behind for the whole family. Now my mother and I are left with nothing in the inheritance of my late father s wealth. Our situation is seriously critical that we need your assistance to help us receive these funds overseas for proper investment. Let me quickly assure you the 100% safe proof of this transaction because the diamond sales are packaged from the onset in a pattern that shows no direct trace or linkage with us (Kabila family). At present the money is in cash and is secured in a security company as family treasures, as I don t want to deposit the money in a financial institution for fear of the funds being confiscated The consignment will be released within seven (7) days of my being in receipt of your reply via my email address above only for security reasons. I am waiting for your swift and favorable response, and in case you have any question(s), do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards, Gregory Kabila.

I am the first Son of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$10 Million (Ten million United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe, introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. it is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South Africa for fear of our lives. After which, I traveled to the Netherlands and I am currently staying in the Netherlands where i am seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. Since the law of Europe prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of European Union. As the eldest child of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future. Both countries have similar political history. I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the security company to clear the Consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact with my email- (transvageazimba@netscape.net) while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Best regards, TRANSVAGE AZIMBA NOTE: ON YOUR INABILITY TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION RESPOND TO ME AND INFORM ME SO I CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Good day, I have decided to contact you by e-mail due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed that it will take at least a minimum of two to three weeks for a normal post to reach you.However, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Engr.Daniel Ochuko , a Director General in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I presently head a seven man tenders board incharge of Contract Awards and Payment Approvals. Our duties include Evaluation, Vetting, Approval for payment of Contract jobs done for the N.N.P.C e.t.c. In the last quarter of 2002 this committee was mandated to review and award contracts to the tune of US$400 million US dollars to a group of five firms for the supply , construction and installation of Oil Pipe lines in Warri and Port Harcourt. During this process my colleagues and I decided and agreed among ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum from US$400 million to US$416 million United States dollars with the main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$16 miilion amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has since early this year approved the sum of US$416 million for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$400 million has also been paid to the foreign companies concerned as contract entitlements for the contract done, but since the companies are entiltled to US$400 million dollars only, we are now left with US$16 million dollars balance in the account which we intend to disburse amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names while still in Government service, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names right now. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust and urgency by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$16 million. Hence I are writing you this letter. My Colleagues and I have agreed that if you or your company can act as the beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your Company will retain 20% of the total amount (US$16 million), while 60% will be for us (OFFICIALS) and the remaining 20% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this transfer. You must however NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as we have stated below; a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail. c) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20% from the total amount. Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude this transaction within seven bank work days from the date of receipt of the necessary requirements from you . We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your Total Confidentiality in this transaction. Transactions like this have been successfully carried out in the past by most Government executives. I will explain more to you when I have heard from you. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above e-mail address. I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending business transaction when I have heard from you and also received your confidential telephone and fax numbers. I will also send to you my private telephone and fax numbers where you can always reach me,please you should direct all further email to this address(crp@hknetmail.com) Your urgent response will be highly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless. Yours faithfully, Engr.Daniel Ochuko.

Thus there is nobody that knows that it is money that is in the metal crates. All the document with which the money was deposited is with us. I am looking for somebody to that is capable and willing help me clear the metal crates and receive the metal crates of money on behalf of my family from the security company.

Douglas Sanjor Bank Of The North, Victoria Island Branch, Lagos, Nigeria. ATTN: MD/CEO I am Douglas Sanjor, Branch Manager with Bank of the North, Victoria Island Branch, Lagos, Nigeria. I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. On January 6,1998 a Foreign Oil Consultant and contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mr. James Herbert by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$38.6M (Thirty Eight Million, Six Hundred United States Dollars Only) in my branch. Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the Bank policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that Mr. James Herbert died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. James Herbert did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$38.6M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a Security Company in Europe for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 years the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. This prompted us to contact you.We will like to front you as the next of kin of our late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum of $38.6 million U.S Dollars that is presently in a Security Company in Europe. I contacted you because it is against our code of ethics to own and operate foreign accounts and your assistance would be needed to claim the money in the Security Company in Europe. We have unanimously agreed that 25% of the entire sum would be for you if you agree to take part in this profitable transaction,70% for me and 2 of my colleagues while the remaining 5% would be used to pay back the expenses that may be incurred during the course of the transaction by both parties after the fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event that you are genuinely interested in the transaction,the following information would be needed from you to expedite action. 1) Your Full Name and Address that would be used to establish you as the next of kin of our late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the fund. This would ensure that the Security Company in Europe releases the Consignment/Fund to you. 2) Your Private Mobile,Telphone and Fax numbers where you can be reached at all time because this transaction entails constant communication. The transaction is 100% risk free as all modalities has been perfected to ensure the hitch free success of the transaction. If you are interested, send the requested information via email. I await your response urgently.

I am CHIEF(DR.)BODE GEORGE., Chairman to the Contract Review Panel that was recently inaugurated by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to review the activities of past military government with particular reference to contracts awarded by all ministries between 1990 to 1999. In the course of carrying out our assigned duties, we discovered the sum of USD40.5 (forty million, five hundred thousand dollars) only lying idle in a suspense account with our apex bank. This funds emanated from grossly over-invoiced contracts awarded to conglomerate of foreign firms by the Petroleum Ministry on behalf of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. On completion of our assignment, this amount was deliberately not included in our report because we want to capitalize on this once in a lifetime opportunity to benefit and make a fortune out of it. The only option we have to achieve our aims and objective is to have this fund transferred to a country of our choice where it can be kept in trust and safe custody for us. We are however handicapped at the moment by our status as civil servants, which barred us from operating foreign accounts while still in government service. Thus, through some discreet inquiries from our Chambers of Commerce, you and your organization were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneurship. On this premise, we have no doubt in your ability to handle a business of this nature, which informed our desire and wish to enter into a partnership with you. This business involves the remittance of this amount into your bank account with the hope of travelling down to meet you physically in order to receive our share. We hope to invest some in profitable ventures in your country based on your advise while the balance will be repatriated home as foreign earnings. We have mapped out strategies and all paperwork is in place to ensure a 100% success. The nature of your business at present does not really matter because in the world over, bigger firms do bid for big contracts especially in third world countries like ours and can subcontract part of it to other firms for execution. That is you or your firm will be regarded as one of those that executed one of such projects and therefore entitled to receive the over-invoiced amount of the contract value since the original contractor has been paid. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free as there is actually no risk is involved either now or in the future for we are well connected in official circle. Given our level of commitment at the moment, we want to assure you that with full dedication on your part, the objective of having this fund remitted would have been realized within a period of two weeks. It is hereby expressly agreed in principle that at the end of the transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the entire sum, 75% will be for my colleagues and I. If you are interested in this proposal, please call or send me an e-mail VIA:bode_george@xuppa.com for more clarifications. If however you are not interested, still let me know to enable me search for someone else to carry out this business with. I anticipate a timely response from you. Thanks.

I got your contact from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Following this and other investigations resulting in a good recommendation. We have decided to contact you to help us with the legal Transfer of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million Six hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The amount stated above resulted from an over-invoiced contract executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C.) for which the contractors have been fully paid. Because this money was part of the overall contract sum amounting to close to (US$100,000,000:00) that has been completed. The said amount has remained dormant and floating in our Apex Bank. Therefore, we will raise supplementary documents to enable us transfer into an account that is yet to be nominated. We need a foreign partner, because as civil servants, the code of conduct does not allow us to operate foreign bank accounts. Hence we solicit for your assistance, we are requesting you to provide us with the help for the safekeeping of this money until our arrival in your country to collect our share and decide on investment possibilities of this money which you may advice, For your assistance in this transaction, we have unanimously agreed to offer you 25% of this money, 5% will be used in settling any incidental expenses that may arise after the fund must have been transferd to your nominated bank account and the remaining amount will be for us.

I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who run a constancy firm. He assured me of your capability and reliability. Although, I did not tell him the details of the business I will want to do with you. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$20.5million (TWENTY Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along side with his entire family in November 1997 in a plane crash. Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin of relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide. Unfortunately, we leant that all his supposed next of kin or relations died along with him at the plane crash. It therefore, upon discovery that some officials and myself in the department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation to the deceased for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go back into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as a next of kin to a foreigner. We agreed that 40% that is negotiable of this money would be for you as foreign partner. Thereafter my two colleagues and I will visit your country for the disbursement / investing our share according to the percentages indicated. Please be honest to me. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as next of kin to the deceased. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax the text of the application with the name of the deceased and his country and other information about him. After the fund have been approved, it will be transferred to an offshore security finance company in Europe where you will sign for the fund release order and for onward remittance into your account. Note this transaction requires utmost confidentiality. And I am assuring you that it is 100% risk free so you need not be afraid. I expect a positive response from you soonest.

I am glad to say that with the introduction of internet and website, I was opportuned and pleasured to have come across your contact through this satellite media during my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business which involve a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you.My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean opposition party rich farmers murdered by the agents of the ruling Government of president Robert mugabe,for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority, Before my father's death,he had taken to johannesburg and deposited the sum of thirty eight million united state dollars (US38,000,000)with a Security and Financial Company,the money right now is in NETHERLAND(EUROPE), as if he forseen the looming danger in zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance. This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms and for establishment of new farms in lesotho and swaziland.This land problems arose when president Robert mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"adopted by the government. This result to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs,precisely more than three thousand( 3,000) people have so far been killed. Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and united states have voice their condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently, south Africa development community(S.A.D.C)has continousy supported mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that my entire family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my father's wealth and south Africa's government seems to be playing along with them.I am face with the dilemma of investing this money in south Afica for fear of encountering the same experience in the future, since both countries have almost the same political history.Moreso,the south African foreign exchange policy does not>allow such investment,Hence I am seeking for(political asylum). AS a business person whom i entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, i must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.

I write you in respect of a foreign customer with Domicilliary A/C number 6402356789. His name is Engineer Jacob Swatsman. He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria during the reign of late General Sani Abacha. Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Joseph Swatzman, who was an oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer. He had only $38.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank. Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe . By this doing, what is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will need your full name and address, company or residential, so that i can computerize them to tally with next of kin column in the certificate of deposit. Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a loc al cannot represent as next of kin.

REPLY TO: jumai_b40@indiatimes.com My Dear Friend, I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this very urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence with you. I hope this mail will not come to you as a surprise. I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, responsibility and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic attention. I regree t the inconvenience it may cause you based on the condition that we have not met before. I am Mrs. Jumai Mustapha, the wife of Al Mustapha, personal assistant to the Late head of state of Federal Republic of Nigeria - General Sani Abacha. I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other like wise developing a cordial relationship. My husband along with the head of state and top officials of their past administration has been accused of looting several Billion United States Dollars from the Nigeria Government. The current attitude of the present government towards my family has indeed made life quite unbearable for us. See through these sites and find government lies against my family and our fate. It is blackmail. Up till now, no body has been jailed. They keep detaining without trial. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/474854.stm http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/Swissinfo.html?siteSect=105&sid=1828329 Fortunately, Al Mustapha my Husband has Twelve million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars(US$12.5 million) cash, which he intended to use for investment purposes overseas. This money is kept in a private security company. This money was deposited for safe keeping in the security vault of a freighting agency here by my husband preparatory to being air lifted abroad for investment purposes before his arrest leaving a clause that it could only be claimed by an expertriate partner. It is only my husband and myself that know where the money is kept. Due to the current situation in the country concerning government s vendetta toward my family, we seek your assistance to transfer this money out of Nigeria for the purpose of investment as intended by my husband. Note that my family is currently being probed by this present government for alleged involvement in misappropriation of public funds during their regime. Towards this effect, an embargo restricting my family members from traveling or carrying out financial transactions without their express permission is in force. Right now, my husband (Al Mustapha) is under arrest and is being detained in connection to the above and other activities of his late Boss. However, I have an arrangement on how to freight this money to you after receiving some assurances from you of the safety our own share and that you will only take the commission that we will offer you. This money personally belongs to my husband and he intends that it still be used for investment. No record ever existed concerning this money, neither is the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation concerning the funds in the Federal Treasury. The freighting company to be used has now been introduced to me and as so on as we receive your readiness to assist us recieve this fund we shall formalize the deposit documents in your name and reach an agreement with them to air lift the consignment for your pick up. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, we propose a commission of 15%(Fifteen Percent) of the total sum to you for the expected services and assistance. While 5% is mapped out for miscellaneous expenses. On your positive consent, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss about this. Your urgent response is highly needed. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, while I await your prompt response. Best regards, MRS.

From: Alexenda Chuba Ani. Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Federal Secretariat Complex, Ikoyi, Lagos-Nigeria. Attn: sir/madam, BUSINESS PROPOSAL/PARTNERSHIP: TRANSFER OF US$24.6M (TWENTY FOUR MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) & BUSINESS INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret as you were introduced to us in confidence through the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, foreign trade division. We are top officials from the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing FMW&H), Federal Ministry of Finance and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review Panel (CRP) set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past military administration. In the course of our work on the CRP, we discovered this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced contracts which were executed for the FMW&H during the last administration. The companies that executed the contracts have been duly paid and the contracts commissioned leaving the sum of US$24.6 Million floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$24.6M legally subcontracting the entitlement to your company. This is bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or running foreign account while in government service hence the need for an overseas partner. We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus after it has been paid into your account: (1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund. (2) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursment to both parties for incidental expences that may be incurred in the course of the transaction. (3) 60% to us the government officials (with which we wish to commence an importation business in conjunction with you ). All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days of commencement after receipt of the following information: Your company name, address, company's details & activities (if any), telephone & fax numbers. These information will enable us make the applications and lodge claims to the concerned ministries & agencies in favour of your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the solar bank draft or certified cheque drawable in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent bankers is going to be made in your name. Please acknowledge the receipt of this proposal via this email address. My regards.

Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2003 01:38:26 +0200 AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS. Tel: 31-613 792 781 CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL. Good day, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Sadu Madiga, the first son of Gadik Madiga, a popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe, this money was deposited in a box as FAMILY TREASURE to avoid much demurrage and tax from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we areseeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(fund) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number or my E-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law in your country. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Sadu Madiga.

From kudibrowne111@emailacc.com Sun Jun 15 20:39 MET 2003 From: kudibrowne111@emailacc.com Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2003 19:31:06 +0100 (BST) Subject: PLEASE HELP ME ! To: Plot 7 Oshifila Street, Anifowoshe Ikeja, Lagos- Nigeria. Dear Sir, I am writing you from Nigeria, in West Africa. First, please permit me to give you my background. My full name is Kudi Browne; After the first Gulf War, the price of Crude Oil Petroleum shot up astronomically peaking at over 30 USD per barrel. Expectedly, the Nigeria Bonny Light Crude was in high demand and Buyers from all over the World besieged the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for Crude Oil Lifting Rights. It was my job as the Chairman of the TASK FORCE ON CRUDE PETROLEUM OIL to grant the required LICENCES to lift Crude Petroleum Oil. I granted the Crude Oil Lifting Licenses only AFTER a thorough investigation and background check of all Foreign Companies who applied Surprisingly, most of the Foreign Companies who obtained (won) the Crude Oil Lifting Rights (Licenses) from me later showered me with Gifts amounting to thousands of USD! This cannot legally be described as bribe because I did not solicit for gifts or presents in advance; the gifts came only after the Licenses had been granted and the Crude lifted. In time, these presents and gifts accumulated to about USD20, 000,000.00 For security reasons, I did not put the money in a Bank; rather, I hid the money in an underground Safe in my House. In December 1998, I traveled to London, UK to sign a Contract on Behalf of Nigeria (and the NNPC), for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the Kaduna Refinery. I used the Corporate jet of the NNPC for the 5 day trip. I also used this opportunity to fly my money, all USD20 million (cash) to the United Kingdom, and put the money securely boxed in a Safe Deposit Vault of the HSBC Bank Plc, UK. Please see http://www.hsbc.co.uk/ I decided NOT to put the money in a standard Bank Account because it could be traced Please bear in mind that this money belongs to me, but I did not care to be cross-examined by any one as to its origin! After careful consideration therefore, I put the money in a Safe Deposit Vault in the Bank, and came back to Nigeria In February, 1999, I was wrongly accused of plotting to overthrow the Government, and immediately arrested; I was tried by a Military Court Martial (Tribunal) and sentenced to death; Therefore, I was implicated (despite my innocence) in a coup plot to topple the then Government of Nigeria. All my property and Bank Accounts in Nigeria were confiscated by the Government; and my wife and only daughter were even detained for about 7 months The members of the military Court-martial were sharply divided, and therefore a deadlock was the result; the relevant military law dictated that in the event of a deadlock, the accused must be re-tried after an independent investigation I was therefore detained in a military detention facility for 4 years! Early last week, based on a report by the AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, I was given a Presidential pardon, and I regained my freedom once more! I therefore need a trustworthy and reliable partner who can help me to collect the money from the Bank Vault, where the Money has been stored since December, 1998. I am free now but I am handicapped by two things: I HAVE NO MONEY, AND I HAVE NO TRAVELING DOCUMENTS (my International Passport was seized by the Government before I was jailed). Therefore, I CANNOT travel to the UK at this time Therefore, I need you to go to the Bank Vault and collect the money on my behalf. I will provide you with a properly signed and executed POWER of ATTORNEY, and the SECRET VAULT COMBINATION of the UK Bank Safety Vault so that you can access the money. After you collect the money, you should wire all the money to your own Bank Account. For your help and assistance in this venture, you will have 25% of the money as your share. And I will keep 75% of the USD20 Million. If you wish, you can ESTABLISH A JOINT-VENTURE CORPORATION, AND WE WILL INVEST THE WHOLE USD20 MILLION, USING THIS CORPORATION, WITH YOU HAVING 25% SHAREHOLDING, AND ME HAVING 75%, AS CHAIRMAN. I am therefore looking for a business partner who will help me to invest the sum of USD20, 000,000.00 (Twenty Million U S Dollars) abroad. Normal business practices and conditions will apply. This includes the establishment of a Corporation (and a corporate Bank Account) in which you will be the minority shareholder, and I will be the majority shareholder, as CHAIRMAN I know how difficult it is to trust a stranger, but I must trust you because I really have no choice. I pray and hope that you will reciprocate my trust, and help me, especially in the investing of my money. All my life, I have been a Soldier; I do not know how to tell a debit from a credit on a ledger, and I will appreciate very much your help in helping me to invest my money. This is very important; You have to understand that left alone with my money, I could lose it all in a wrong or poor investment It is therefore vital that my share of this money is invested profitably, and I am relying 100% on you for guidance and help. To summarize, I will request you to kindly travel to London, UK to manage the transaction as above. I am NOT able to advance any money for your traveling and hotel expenses. You will therefore kindly bear the expenses involved in this transaction, and thereafter deduct ALL YOUR EXPENSES accordingly when you have got the money from the HSBC Bank Plc. Finally, please let me assure you that this proposed transaction will be 100% legal and risk-free. Please reply immediately so that I can send you a DRAFT of POWER OF ATTORNEY that I have already prepared for your comments and review. Of course, you will need my signed and notarized Power of Attorney in order to transact on my behalf at HSBC Bank Plc, London. If you are interested in this venture, please reply immediately, providing the following information: 1. Your complete name and address 2. Your telephone and fax numbers 3. Your confidential email address for this transaction Regards, Brig-Gen.

It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Mr.William Zuka, the first son of Matimue Zuka,of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However,I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father forsaw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to Johannesburg, South Africa to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana and swaziland. President Mugabe's support for the violent imbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe to South Africa where I was arrested and detained for eight(8 good month)in jail.I fled south Africa for The Netherlands with the help of the present prison command chief officer in Charge(P.C.C.O) I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg here. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be ransferred, hence this proposal to you.You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Africa ! to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into artnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your ountry. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% ($580,000,00) for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting with opening an account, then 85%will be left in the account here for me. Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.

Je vous ecris avec une confidence absolue premierement pour demander votre assistance pour transferer notre liquidite de 25 000 000 Millions de dollar qui actuellement se trouve dans le coffre fort d'une compagnie de securite ici en Abidjan dans votre compte personnel jusqu'a notre arrivee dans votre pays. SOURCE DE L'ARGENT Mon defunt pere, chef WILLIAMS, le patron des extracteur d'or et de diamant en Sierra Leone (S.L.M.C) Freetown. Concernant mon pere, cet argent est le resultat de l'or et le diamant extraient des mines Sierra Leonaise avant le debut de la guerre civil entre les forces rebelles et les forces de maintien de la paix de l'ECOMOG qui a detruit mon pays apres le coup de force qui a chasse du pouvoir, le president democratiquement elu AHMED TEJAN KABBAH. Mon pere avait deja mis en place un plan pour nous evacuer (ma mere, ma petite sour et moi meme) sur Abidjan en Cote d'ivoire avec nos effets personnels et la boite contenant l'argent par le biais des forces d'evacuation des nations unies. Mon pere nous a demande de deposer la boite dans une compagnie privee de securite jusqu'a ce qu'il nous rejoigne apres la guerre. Pendant la guerre dans mon pays, et avec pour consequence le pillage des proprietes publiques par les forces rebelles, la cooperation des mines sierra leonaise etaient l'une des cibles pillees et detruites. Mon pere et plusieurs autres hauts fonctionnaires ont ete attaques et tues par les rebelles en novembre 2000 pour leur relation avec le gouvernement civil d'AHMED TEJAN KABBAH. Suite a la mort de mon pere, et avec les nouvelles de mon oncle a propos de son accident d'avion en janvier, nos espoirs de survie etaient completement noyes. Cette mort prematuree de mon pere et de mon oncle a provoque un arret cardiaque chez ma mere et d'autres complications qui ont provoques sa mort plus tard dans un hopital et apres on a eu a depenser une importante somme d'argent pour elle. Actuellement mon frere de 18 ans et moi meme sommes seuls dans ce pays etranger, souffrant et sans aucun soutien . sans aucune relations, nous sommes actuellement comme des refugies et des orphelins. Notre seul espoir actuellement est en vous et en la boite qu'on a depose dans la compagnie de securite. A cet effet, je sollicite humblement votre assistance dans le sens suivant : 1- m'aider a faire sortir la boite de la compagnie de securite comme CO- beneficiaire pour transferer cet argent en votre nom dans votre propre compte dans votre pays pour un investissement lucratif .avec vous comme principal acteur. 2- Le plus important c'est que la compagnie de securite ne connait pas le contenu exact de la boite parce qu'on l'a declare comme richesses familiales. 3- Tous les documents relatifs au depots sont dans mon coffre a la maison. 4- Pour votre assistance, je vous cederai 20% de cet argent pour vos efforts et votre assistance. 5- Enfin je vous prie de garder cette transaction strictement confidentiel. Merci et que Dieu vous benisse pour votre assistance a notre egard.

Dear Sir, First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability in prosecuting a business transaction of high net value requiring maximum confidentiality I am MR AHMED BELLO Personal Assistant to Alhaji Rewani Lukeman, the Presidential Adviser on Petroleum Matters. Sir my message to you was based on some money that floated into the Government treasury due to the recent boom in the International Oil Market because of the U.S. - Iraq issue. The Federal Government of Nigeria budgeted US$18.00 per barrel in this years budget, but due to price changes in the international oil market where by a barrel is being sold for between US$28-US$35.00. We are recording an excess gain, and because the government is yet to establish a dedicated account to take care of these proceeds , hence some executive members in the petroleum ministry have decided to stash away the sum of US$200,000,000.00,(Two Hundred Million, United States Dollars) to an off shore account of a foreign national or company. Please we are not contacting you because we do not have or know any person with whom we can do the deal with successfully, rather we are trying to avoid situation where by, after our tenure in office, a panel of inquiry may be setup to check our activities while in office or our investments through friends and relations, that is what we are avoiding. If you are interested to assist us, please let me have your personal telephone, fax and email address, so that I can furnish you with further details on the modalities of the transfer of the fund into your bank account. Please keep this matter to your self, as we do not want it to back fire. If you are not interested, delete this mail and take it as if you have heard nothing from me. I look forward for your positive response. Best regards.
