Dear Friend,

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise.
I am the Auditor General, International Bank of Trade Nigeria.

I Hope that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that i am about to
repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($25.6)million to your account
within 14 banking days. This money has been dormant for years in our Bank without claim.
I want the bank to release the money to you asthe nearest person to our deceased customer,
the owner of the account died along with his supposed next of kin in an air crash since
July 31st
2000.

I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasurer as an abandoned fund.
So this is the reason why i contacted you so that the bank can release the money to you as
the next of kin to the deceased customer.


Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not
interested.
Upon receipt of your reply,i will give you full details on howthe business willbe executed
and also note that you will have 35% of the above mentioned sum if you agree to handle
this business with me.


Best Regard.
Mr.Charles Osareme

The worst part about that is you know someone is going to fall for it. Of course, anyone stupid enough to fall for it deserves to have their money taken away. dry.gif It's certainly a way to make them wisen up.

Many of us have recieved Emails, from these Con Artists.The Internet is full of these types, making a quick buck from the gullible.There are warnings posted all over the Internet,but sadly,there is a Sucker born every day.Another problem,they operate out of Countries,where they are relatively safe from prosecution.

Oh, no - now Jeff Lee is trying to take my money! When will it end!

From: Mr. Tony Egobia
Federal Ministry of Finance
5th Floor, Annex 3, New Federal Secretariat Complex,
Shehu Shagari Way, Central Area Abuja Nigeria.

Dear Beneficiary,

My name is Mr. Tony Egobia I'm the personal secretary to the Minister of
Finance. I'm contacting you to confirm from you if actually YOU know one
JEFF LEE who claims to be your business associate/partner from AMERICA.
Following the protest of the International Community, The World Bank, IMF
and the instruction from THE PRESIDENT UMARU YAR'ADUA that all outstanding
foreign DEBTS especially CONTRACT/INHERITANCE PAYMENT should be released
to the BENEFICIARIES.

The said JEFF LEE is claiming to us that you were dead and have instructed
him to make a change of ownership to your funds before your death, thereby
providing this account information (BANK NAME: CITI BANK, NEW YORK. BANK
ADDRESS: NEW YORK, USA. ACCOUNT NUMBER: 6503809428.ROUTING NUMBER:
122006743 A/C NAME: JEFF LEE) as the original account information where
the said approved $35Million Dollars will be remitted into.

This development is coming now that the Ministry of Finance wants to
offset all outstanding payments owed to all foreign beneficiaries around
the world by this Country in which your payment file was affected. As you
may know, the total amount approved in your favor is the total sum of
$30Million Dollars. And by virtue of claim we need to confirm from you if
it's really true that JEFF LEE is your business Associate/partner in
AMERICA and if we did not hear from you soonest it automatically means
that you are actually dead and the information passed to us by JEFF LEE is
correct.

You are to contact me through my email address as soon as you receive this
message so as to know the true position of things with you so That we
won't make any mistake in remitting your outstanding payment to a wrong
Person/account. Your swift response will help this ministry a lot. Do
email me with your information below:

Your Name:
Address:
Sex:
Age:
Occupation:
Your Next of Kin Name and your date of Birth:

Yeah , it's another scam ( dagnabbit ) , if it was for real he wouldn't have said "My name is Mr. Tony Egobia I'm the personal secretary to the Minister of Finance." he would have said "My name is Mr. Tony Egobia I'm the personal secretary to the Minister of Finance For Life"(Insert Name Here). hysterical.gif

Our Sphinx is right - unfortunately someone (many someones) will fall for it. And not just the dumb 'gee I can get something for nothing' people that get scammed and then expect sympathy (they get none from me), but many elderly and perhaps mentally sagging people will. Boo and hiss to the buggers that send these things!

More money, more money, more money -

From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
No:36 Old Shrewberry Street,
London England.

Beloved,i am Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment.I used to
be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an Englishman who is dead and resting
peacefully. My husband was into private practice all his life before he
passed. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without
offsprings. My husband died after a protracted illness in an accident he got
from Africa while on humanitarian duties. My husband,while he was alive made a
vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had
passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or
financial predicament.I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child
from the marriage, which never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million Pounds
(20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling)which were derived from
his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that
I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.

Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the
cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate
this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands
effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-
trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to
be genuinely handicapped financially.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this
money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I
do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill
perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the reason
for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I
am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my
deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives
around me. I do not want them to know about this development because i want
the money used for the Less Previledged.

My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please assure me
that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon.

You can contact me through my personal email address at:
thatcherfunds73@xxx.co.uk

Thanking you in advance for everything,

Sincerely yours,

Lady Rebecca Thatcher.


Note: I've changed the Ladies email address so none of you could get to her before me. I would certainly honor her wishes, especially since I'm one of those Less Previledged of whom she speaks.
