This story was from a certain Mr. Clifford Ekeson Ali and was received 11 November 2002.
Please compare to another story about another deposit (US$ 29 million) made by Mr. Barry Kelly on April 6, 1996 in another bank.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL - I NEED YOUR COOPERATION.
Dear Sir, A REQUEST FOR BUSINESS COOPERATION.
I am Mr. Clifford Ekeson Ali, Bank Manager of National Fidelity Bank
Limited, Lagos Branch.I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.On June 6, 1997, an American 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$15,000,000.00( Fifteen Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.After amonth,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Federal Ministry of Solid and Liquid Minerals 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 ofUS$15,000,000.00 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 as it stands by statute, 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 foriegner 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.upon consideration of this proposal , I will like you to provide
immediately the name and address that you intend to use for the preparation
of the relevant probate documentation that will reperesent you as next of
kin to Mr.Barry Kelly to achieve the requiste documentation ,we shall
employ the service of two independent Attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter
of probate/administration in your favor for the payment of the inheritance
entitlement. Furthermore, you will be required to act independently as a
Foreigner , next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mr. Barry
Kelly to claim this funds through any of the bank's Fiduciary Agents /
offshore clearing house in Europe or Canada.

The money will be paid to you for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me
and 35% 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 below.
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,and also meet with you personally.

This story was from a certain Peter Odili and was received 11 November 2002.
urgent reply needed
Greetings, It is with my profound dignity that I write you this very important and highly confidential letter. First, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and "TOP SECRET". Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,considering the fact that we have not met each other before, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you by email 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, so we decided it is best using the e-mail,which is quicker and also to enable us meet up with the second payment quarter for the year 2002 which has already begun. However, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr. Peter Odili, a Director in the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) and I presently head a seven man tenders board incharge of Contract Awards and Payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum CONFIDENCE. I and my colleagues are Top Officials of the Federal Government Contract Review and Award Panel. Our duties include Evaluation, Vetting, Approval for payment of Contract jobs done for the D.P.R. e.t.c. In order to commence this business we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into your Account the said funds. The source of this funds is as follows: In the second quarter of 2001 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$428 million United States dollars with the main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$28 miilion amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has since last year approved the sum of US$428 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 various contracts done, but since the companies are entiltled to US$400 million dollars only, we are now left with US$21.5 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$21.5 million. Hence we 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$21.5 million), while 60% will be for us (OFFICIALS) and the remaining 20% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses and Taxes incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. 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 seven bank working 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. There is no cause for alarm. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with us. Transactions like this have been successfully carried out in the past by most Government executives. Here in my country there is great economic and political disarray and thus looting and corruption is rampant and the order of the day, thus explaining why you might have heard stories of how money is been taken out of Nigeria, this is because everyone is making desperate attempts to secure his or her future, so that when we retire from active service we donot languish in poverty. 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 receive your confidential telephone and fax numbers to enable me fax to you all necessary information you need to know about our pending business transaction. I will also send to you my private telephone and fax numbers where you can always reach me. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to enable us transfer the funds under this Fourth quarter of the year 2002. Thank you and God Bless. Yours faithfully, peter odili.

This story was from a certain Mrs. Ankoh and was received 11 November 2002. Compare to the story of JOSEPH ADEBOYE chief auditor of ECOWAS as received 5 November 2002.
URGENT REPLY
  DEAR FRIEND,

 My name is Pauline Ankoh Davis. I am writing you this mail from the ECOWAS Refugee Rehabilitation Camp in Corte – D Voire. I am a Sierra Leonine National and the wife of Late Dr. Johnson Ankoh Davis, my late husband was the General overseer of Diamond and Gold Mines in the Kaneina District of Sierra Leon, until April 16th 2001 when the military forces loyal to the government of president Ahmed Jijan Kabbah, invaded the Diamond and Gold Mines and Killed my husband, mistaking him for his junior brother Mike Ankoh Davis, who is the deputy leader to the rebel leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF) Mr. Friday Sankih.  When the news reached me, I hurried gathered some valuables in our house and escape with my two kids George & Lynda along with other displaced people to safety.

We were eventually picked up in a bush on the 22nd of April 2001 by the Ecomog Soldiers who immediately handed us over to the International Red Cross Society in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the red cross society finally arranged for our safe movement to the Ecowas refugee camp in Coite De Voire.  Presently we are camped in one of the Ecowas refugee rehabilitation centers in Abidjan, and the hope of returning to our home country is not in sight as the war between the government forces and the rabel forces is still going on.

Among the valuables I took along with me was my husbands personal file which contained details of a deposit of uss30.5 million u.s.Dollars my husband deposited with a security company in Spain as family teasure, with the name of our son George.  Although I suspect this money was illegally made from the sales of gold and Diamond mines and was immediately moved to Holland for safety when my late husband was the general overseer of the gold and diamond mines in sierra Leone.

 Presently as a registered refugee-my movement is retracted. I have no access and fund to travel to Spain to negotiate for the release of this money, Sir under this terrible condition we are in the camp, I have no other option than to seek for your assistance good legal agreement, armed with all the legal document about the money you should now act on my behalf as the beneficiary, and help me to sign this money out from the security company if possible transfer the money to your country where possibly a small scale industry can be establish with such an amount under my supervision. I promise to give you 20% of the amount in question, and 20% share in any investment we will jointly embark on upon if eventually you assist me. You can also reach me on my private e-mail address: mrsp_ankoh@mail.com

Thanks and God bless

(Twenty Nine Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars
only) 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
National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly
died on 1 February
1997 in a plane crash on air Senegal on aircraft
Name Hawker Siddeley HS-748.This crash happened in
Tambacoumba, Senegal, Africa and the registration
number of the aircraft is 6AV-AEO, and since his
untimely death the funds has been dormant in his
account with my Bank without any claim of the fund 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$29,500,000.00 has carefully been moved
out of my bank to a security company for safe-keeping.

deposited it in a security company in two trunk boxes
though the security company does not know the contents
of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic
materials for export.

I am writing you because I as a public servant,we can not
operate a foreign account or have an account that is
more than $1m.I want to present you as the owner of
the boxes in the security company so you can be able
to claim them with the help of my attorney.All these
are to make sure 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 which will put you in
place as the as the owner of the boxes.

The money will be moved out for us to share in the
ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you and 5% will take
care of all expenses.There is no risk at all as all
the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
Attorney and this will guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction.

email address. upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction.

Please observe with utmost confidentiality, and be
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.

Greetings and Compliments.

My client is the Son of a prominent figure in my country who has been under probe since the demise of the last Military President of our country and he has had a lot of his phisical and monetary assets siezed by the Nigerian Government who consider him as a part of the corrupt machinery of the then Military Government, now he has a substantial amount deposited in a bank in Nigeria (US$ 25. M.) and he is very scared that this account will be discovered because similar accounts in Switzerland and England were previously discovered and frozen by the governments of those countries in collaboration with the Government of Nigeria.

Precisely, my clients family have just returned been forced to promise to return US$ 1B. to the government of Nigeria under the direction of the Swiss banking authorities, this is a confirmable matter, even as the existence of the funds mentioned is confirmable.

Now it is his intention to migrate with his family out of Nigeria and he depends so much on these fund, thus he is looking for a reliable and trustworthy person who will recieve the money discreetly and then transfer the money at a latter date to a nuetral account to be established outside Nigeria pending when he finaly succeeds with his emigration plan.

If you accept my proposition and agree to participate in this transaction, you will in no case whatsoever undertake risk, expend money or execute any unreasonable task, whereas you will be well renumerated, in principle you will recieve 10% of the amount transferred into your account once the transaction is completed.

Compare to the story from a certain Mrs. Ankoh from the ECOWAS Refugee Rehabilitation Camp in Corte – D Voire.
Attn.

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as
a surprise and if it might offend you without your
prior consent and writing through this channel. I am
MR JOSEPH ADEBOYE CHIEF AUDITOR IN THE LOME BRANCH OF THE
(ECONOMIC ORGANISATION OF THE WEST AFRICAN
STATES) ECOWAS.I got your information when I was
searching for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person
to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired
and motivated to pick your contact from the many names
and lists in the web site. I wish to transfer the sum
o$14,300,000.00 USD (Fourteen Million Three Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only.)into your
personal or company`s bank account. This fund was a
residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by
THE ECOWAS to some foreign firms to supply some
foods/Industrial Contract to the sierra lone
government during there civil war. This DEAL was
deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with
all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the chief
auditor,I have the cooperation and mandate of the
Financial Director and the Secretary. It was my
consensus to seek the assistance of a willing
foreigner to provide us with the facilities to
transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne
out of our beleive in the non-stable and sporous
political nature of this sub-region. The original
contractors have been duely paid by the Banque
Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central
Bank of the West African States)This balance is
suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by

This story is from a certain Mrs. Mariam Abacha and was received on 4 November 2002. You might like to compare this story to that received on 24 October 2002 - evidently also written by a widdow of the Head of State, General Abacha; that story dealing only with US$ 25 million:
Your Honour,

STRICTLY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL

I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, widow to the Former Military Head of State, Late General Sanni Abacha, who died suddenly as a result of Cardiac Arrest on 8th of June 1998.

One early morning, I was called by my Late Husband General Sanni Abacha, who at that time was the Chief In Commander of the Army and the President of Nigeria. He conducted me round the apartment and showed me three metals boxes of money all in Foreign Exchange, my husband told me he was to use the money for the settlement of his Personal Royal Guards on his self Succession Bid and campaigns.

Upon his tragic and unexpected death, the new civilian Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has insisted on probing my familys financial resources and has gazetted all our properties, also. They recently seized all the known familys fund abroad with the
assistance of the British Government. It is only this money US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United States Dollars Only) that he deposited with a security company vault , that they can not trace because the funds were deposited as (ANTIQUITY) African Art Work from the National Commission for Museum and Monuments (N. C. M. M.) Nigeria, the family intend to use this money for investment purpose to enable the family start life all over again.

Therefore, the family is 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 the funds from the security company. Since no names were used in securing the vault.

I got your contact address and name from our Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture and Industry Office in Lagos - Nigeria, if the proposal is acceptable to you, after getting the money out from the security company vault to your country, my family have agreed to offer to you
25% of the total sum for the kind assistance you rendered to us. And in addition bank the familys own part of the funds and assist us in investing (with my approval on project) as a front for us until the
situation becomes more favorable for us to now meet and discuss the way forward, most especially now that my elder son, Mohammed Abacha and I are under pressure from the Government, despite the fact that my family had already returned the sum of US$3 Billion my Late
husbands Account in the U.S.A, Europe and other countries.

Please kindly state your early response immediately on this email: is_aba11763@eudoramail.comcom for more details on the logistics and modalities.

NOTE: I do not need to remind you of the absolute secrecy and confidentiality that this transaction demands. You are free to speak directly with my son Mallam Isa Abacha on the phone.

If you are not interested, please kindly reply me immediately to enable me search for another interested partner.

I await your kind reply.

Thanks and accept my regards.

This story is from a certain Sodindo Malinga and was received on 4 November 2002:
                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 I 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 more so 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 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.  0031613777023 HARLEM, THE NETHERLANDS. sodindo4@rediffmail.co

This story is from a certain Smith Collins and was received on 4 November 2002:
 
Dear Friend,
This contact has become imperative based on the recent tribulation in Zimbabwe which has led to my present predicament. I am therefore using this medium to appeal to your good conscience to come to my rescue and the rescue of my family. I am Mr. Smith Collins,a white commercial farmer from Zimbabwe and I got your contact from one of my business directories. I was born and bred in Zimbabwe to the best of my knowledge,my parents and grandparents lived all their lives in Zimbabwe  africa.I have also lived all my life in Zimbabwe and so has all members of my family,therefore it is right to call me a Zimbabwean though white,I am by law a Zimbabwean.I have little or no knowledge of my roots save
for the fact that  my forefathers as I was told,hailed from Australia,which I have never visited all my life.It is pertinent that I tell you all this  so that you can come to a full comprehension of the ill treatment that I have received from the Zimbabwean government of late.

The government of Robert Mugabe,president of Zimbabwe,in the year 2000 promulgated an abbysmal land law,the fast  tract land resettlement program,aimed at taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe and given it to the so called poor natural inhabitants of Zimbabwe,the black Zimbabweans,who as the president claimed are the rightful owners of these land.To this effects,our lands,including the lands where our personal houses where built on have been taking from us,rendering us homeless.In pursuance to this law,the so called natural inhabitants,the black Zimbabweans,have committed serious human rights violations in the process of forcefully taking our lands from us.Many of our white brothers were maimed, killed and rendered homeless.Those of us that are alive now live in fear.

As the victim of this inhuman treatment,I have been rendered homeless,that I now live in a village in the far north of Manica  land,Zimbabwe,where I have to travel 100 kilometers to send this mail to you.We were hoping that the international community will come to our rescue,but this hope has been dashed since all we hear is that the international community is
still appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider the law,which clearly has fallen on deaf ears,since most of us have been relegated to abject poverty and homelessness while living in fear.All our properties have been confiscated including our bank accounts which have been frozen.The rest of us who managed to flee Zimbabwe at the inception of
this law are now the lucky ones.

My dear friend,I have lost all I worked for all my life.As a tobacco farmer I have lost both my farm land and all my financial resources in Zimbabwe.I only have one hope left,which is to leave Zimbabwe alive.

I am using this medium to appeal to you to come to my rescue and that of my family by helping us get out of Zimbabwe  to a safe abode,where we can start life afresh again.I have some money in London Which I deposited there in a security firm to enable float an export and import company to facilitate the transportation of my farm produce which was costing me
alot.I cannot reach the money because of my present isolation,moreover I do not have a bank account anymore in Zimbabwe to facilitate bank to bank transfer.I need your help to withdraw this money as all the documents neccessary for this withdrawal is still in my possession so that I can leave Zimbabwe as soon as possible and settle down with my family in your country.Please endeavour to try and help me as you will be greatly rewarded for your effort.

I thank you for your anticipated cooperation as I await your response to this mail. Regards, Smith Collins  <smithcollins102@post.com>

This story is from a certain Hassan Ahnad and was received on 4 November 2002:
Dear sir,
  I am Dr. Hassan Ahmad former special adviser on Petroleum matters to the late Head of State of Government of Nigeria Gen. Sani Abacha. Because of my strategic position in the former Government and also being a close confidant of the late Head of State, I was able to acquire personally the sum of $50,000,000.00 USD ( fifty million United States Dollars only) presently lodged in a Security Deposit in Europe. I made this money largely through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and Good Faith Fees" paid by foreign Oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil Blocs and other Lifting/prospecting Right. Nigeria is the 6th largest Producer/Exporter of Crude Oil in the World. As you are probably aware of the fact that Nigeria is prone to Military coups and the resultant Political/Economic Instability has fueled hyper Inflation, amongst other problems. I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad, preferable in Rea! l Estate Properties and Importation of Goods from your country for safety and optimum returns on Investment.
      However the, present civilian administration of president Olusegun Obasanjo has placed a restriction of movement on every member of the cabinet of the past military government. This is as a result of the Justice Oputa panel of inquiry slated to investigate most of the atrocities perpetrated by the late former head of state. This means that I cannot travel out now till the panel conclude its investigations which only God knows when that would be. Straight transfer of this money into a bank abroad will present two major problems one, the tax incidence will be too high, as much as 60% of this money will go up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc. as a result of Government deliberate restrictions on flight of capital Abroad.
       However arrangement have been put in place for you to receive this money from a trust worthy security Deposit Company in Europe. As soon as you indicate your interest.  I will send to you the security Code number, certificate of deposit number and airway bill number of the Deposit that will serve as the onus of proof to enable you claim the Money, which is tagged, Diplomatic Luggage.
All I now need is an honest partner who can receive the money on my behalf and help me to invest as aforementioned. There is absolutely no risk involved in this transaction, as the money will be delivered to you in United States Dollars Bills. If you are interested in assisting me, please send to me by email immediately your preferred contact address where you can be reached at any time, upon receipt of the money, you are to lodge this money in a bank account and contact me for ne! cessary arrangements for the investment of the funds. For your help and assistance in this deal, you will be entitled to 25% of this money in cash or Equity if you wish to join the proposed company.
       Finally you are to please urgently send to me through  the required contact address that include your telephone and fax number). So that I can instruct the West side Deposit Company to go ahead with the transfer to you. Please contact me immediately or my lawyer at (rotimichambers05_ng@lycos.com ) so that I can give you further briefing.

Best regards, Dr.Hassan Ahmad  <hassan02_ng@latinmail.com>



This story is from a certain Wilson Kamela and was received on 1 November 2002:
ATTN: SIR/MADAM,
                      STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
I am pleased to introduce myself  to you.My name is Mr.WILSON
KAMELA a native of South Africa and a senior employee of mines and
natural resources department currently on a trainning course in Holland for few months.
I  am writing this letter to request your assistance in order to
redeem an investment with the South African mining Corporation.The
said investment, now valued at  ($22.5 million dollars) Twenty-two
 million,five hundred thousand dollars only was purchased by ( Lucio
Harper ) and contracted out to the South  African Mining Corporation
in 1977 now recognised as mines and natural resources department.This
redeemable investment interest,has now matured since March last year.
Since MARCH last year, several attempts have been made to contact
Lucio Harper without success and there is no way to contact any
of his close relatives in whose favour the investment cash value
can be paid.

Since we have access to all Lucio Harper's information,we can claim
this money with the help of my partners with the South African Mines
and natural resources department.All we have to do is to file claim
using you as Lucio Harper's relative.
I will like to assure you that there is absolutely nothing to worry
about,because it is perfectly safe with no risk involved.Please
ensure to keep this matter strictly confidential.My partner will
file a claim for this money on your behalf from the South African
mining Corporation.When the claim is approved,you as the beneficiary
will be paid (25%) of the total amouth.
Since this money can be paid directly into any bank account of your
choice,you have responsibility to ensure that my partner and I receive (70%) of
the total amouth.While the balance (5%) will be set aside for any
unforseen expenses in the cause of transfering this money.
I will appreciate if you can give your assurance and guarantee that
our share will be well secured.Please for the sake of confidentiality,reach
me on my e-mail address: wilsonkamela@hotmail.com  .And let me
know if this proposal is acceptable to you.And kindly reach me immediately
with any of the stated contact addresses so that better clearifications
relating to the transaction will be explained to you.

This story is from a certain Godwin Odeku, 8/9 Cethswayo avenue, Johannesburg. south Africa,  and was received on 1 November 2002:
Hello,
I am Mr.Godwin Odeku, the Bank manager of First
National Bank South Africa Pty, Ansbacher banking
johannesburg [www.fnb.co.za], and for reasons which
will become obvious to you as read on, I obtained your
address particulars from an Internet address listing.
Please exercise some patience and read through my
message.  You can reach me immediately on this my
private email address  (odekuku162003@yahoo.com )
I have a very urgent and confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6th 1997, a Gold
Consultant/Contractor with the South African National
Gold Corporation, Mr. Ahmed Youseff Mustafa , a
national of Iraq, made a numbered time ( fixed)
deposit for 12 calendar months, value
USD52,000,000.00 (FIFTY TWO MILION DOLLAS)  in my
branch. On maturity, we sent a routine notification to
his  forwarding address but got no reply. After a
month,
we sent a reminder and finally, his contract
employers, the South African National Gold Corporation
wrote to inform us that Mr. A .Y Mustafa died in an
automobile accident; that he died without making a
WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin
through the Iraqi embassy were fruitless. At first I
was surprised that I did not receive much official
cooperation in my inquiries in order to trace his kin
in Iraq, and inform them about Mr. Mustafa’s deposit
of USD52m plus accrued interest. I therefore made
further investigations and discovered that Mr. Mustafa
had actively opposed the Government of President
Saddam Hussein of Iraq, and was consequently driven
into exile. Being an minning Expert, he subsequently
obtained a job with the South Africa Gold Coporation,
and settled in South Africa. Thereafter, he walked
into my Office to make the aforementioned deposit of
USD52m.

He did not declare any kin in his application paper,
contrary to laid down procedures, and when I asked him
he informed me that he wished it so. I accepted his
application because banks are conservative and will
always honour a customer’s wishes, especially high
networth customers. No one knows the source of his
money because apparently the time frame of his
employment with the ASGC does indeed preclude such a
large amount of money. It can be assumed that he
brought his money over from Iraq, but that is open to
speculation. However, the point is that his employers
are not aware of this money , and therefore it can be
safely assumed that no one will ever come forward to
claim this money. This money total USD52m (inclusive
of accrued interests)  is still sitting in my Bank in
the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one will ever come
forward to claim it now, and according to South
African law,  after 5 years, the money will
automatically revert to the Federal Government
Treasury if the Account
owner is a foreigner, is certified dead , and there is
no valid claim. This indeed, is the situation. My
proposal therefore is that I am looking for a
foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to  Mr.
Mustafa. It is not necessary to be a blood  relation
to Mr. Mustafa, nor have the same name. It is not also
necessary to come from the same Country. I have worked
out the modalities to achieve my aim of appointing a
next of kin, and therefore also by this means transfer
this money total USD52m abroad for us to share.
The method of achieving the objective of  transferring
this money abroad in a completely legal and proper way
is simple. I intend to use an Attorney ( representing
you as the  BENEFICIARY) to execute a series of
affidavits in support of your claim. These will be
approved.

The money transfer paperwork itself will include a
certificate of origin so that the receiving bank  does
not ask questions or refuse the money as money
laundering. Also, the paperwork will include proper
certification that the funds being transferred are
from non criminal sources. In short this will be a
proper and legal money transfer and there is no
risk!
I will have to process the initial paperwork to
obtain approval from the Probate Registry ( Ministry
of Justice ) to obtain the Letter of Administration
empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the Estate
of Mr. Mustafa.  If you therefore agree to be the
official
Beneficiary, then please note that you will not be
required to come and sign any Money Transfer Documents
in South Africa ( my Attorney will do all (that),
Only the following is required from you:
(1) Send to me immediately A bank account ( a bank
account with zero credit balance is ok)
(2) Complete name and address of the Bank
(3) Bank Account Number
(4) Name of Account Holder/Beneficiary
(5) Your address, phone and fax
(6) A brief background information on you (CV)
Once you send me the requested information as
above, I will initiate the processing of the transfer
and in about 7 working days the money total USD52m
will be in your nominated bank account for us to share
in the ratio of 70% for me and 20% for you. This
transaction is guaranteed to success without any
problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me the
above requested information, I will give you my
complete address, including phone/ fax etc and any
further clarifications you may require.
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
You can also contact me true my alternative e mail
address:odekuku1000@hotmail.com.

Yours truly,  Godwin  Odeku.


This story is from a certain John Slovo and was received on 31 October 2002:
 
Sir, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its confidentiality.
I am Mr. John Slovo, an auditor with a top auditing firm in West
Africa. In the course of our auditing jobs, I and my partner discovered a floating funds to the tune of US$85M(Eighty Five Million United States Dollars).This account was opened in 1990 and ran through 1994, and since then nobody has accessed the account up until now, it has been dormant.
After going through some files in the records, we discovered through an insider in the bank that the person who owned the account Engr. Allan P.Seaman,an oil merchant/Federal Government registered contractor,a German national died in an auto crash in 1994 with his wife and since then nobody has accessed the account.
The bank expects the funds to be claimed by Engr. Seaman's family or a next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund to acquire arms and ammunition for a war college.I gathered that the bank has made frantic effort to get in touch with the Seaman's family to no avail.It is because of the possibility of not being able to locate Engr.Seaman's next of kin that the management under the influence of the bank's chairman has agreed to declare the funds ''unclaimed''and subsequently be donated to the trust fund.
In order to avert this ugly situation,my colleague and I,couple with a top official of the bank seek your permission to have you stand as the next of kin to the Late Engr.Seaman so that the funds US$85M would be released and paid into your nominated bank account as the next of kin.We have perfected every necessary arrangement for a smooth and hitch free transfer of this funds into your account.We are assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement.We have also agreed to part with 20% of the total sum to you as your own share for your assistance,5% to reimburse any expenses both arties may incur in the course of the transaction and 75% for me and my colleagues.
Please,if this proposal is okay by you and you assure us that you will not take undue advantage of the trust we are placing on you,kindly get back to me urgently for us to direct you on how you will apply to the bank for funds claims and subsequent transfer into your bank account.
We shall solely depend on you to invest our own share of the funds in your country under your guidance. I await your urgent response. Best regards, Mr. John Slovo. joeslovo60@safe-mail.net

This story is from a certain Mr.Dema. A, PACIFIC BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA, 9TH FLOOR, HEERENGRACHT TOWER, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, and was received on 29 October 2002:
Attn: The President/CEO
Hello -confidential Business
I am Mr.Dema. A, Provincial Director Pacific Bank of South Africa, Capetown Branch.  I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the South Africa Mining Corporation, Mr. Charles Andason 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, 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 South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr. Charles Andason 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. Charles Andason 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 South Africa Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an American to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Charles Andason 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/beneficiary to his estate.  We shall employ the service of Attorneys to process the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor inorder for the transfer to take place.  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.

here is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Provincial Director 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 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:adamsjohn@send-e.net OR paul7@maktoob.com Thanks and regards. Mr.Dema.A, dabebe7@excite.com

This story is from a certain Dr. Francis Antonie and was received on 28 October 2002:
ATTN

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Francis Antonie, a native of Cape Town in South Africa, an Accountant/Senior Economist with the Standard Bank, South Africa. What you are about to peruse is a highly confidential and sensitive business proposal I would like to present to you which was why I decided to use this form of medium.  A business proposal of this magnitude requires the utmost confidentiality.

A foreigner, late Dr. Robert Wilfred, was a Gold/Diamond Merchant here in South Africa, until his death three years ago in Liberia, banked with us here at Standard Bank, South Africa. He has a closing balance of USD$9.5M (Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin.

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Standard Bank to get in touch with any of the Dr. Robert Wilfred’s family or relatives but all have proved abortive.  It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any of late Dr. Robert Wilfred’s next of kin (as he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of the Board members, is suggesting that the fund should be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further enhance the course of war in the African sub-regions and the world in general.

In order to forestall this negative development, myself and some of my trusted colleagues in the bank now seek for your permission to have you stand as late Dr. Robert Wilfred’s next of kin so that the fund, USD$9.5M would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary’s next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount. Five percent (5%) has been set aside for expenses while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes in your country. Though we are trying to make a better future for our families, and ourselves considering the poor standard of living in Africa, we also want you to see this proposal as our own contribution in putting an end to the irrational wars in the Africa sub-regions.

Please contact me immediately by fax provided at the bottom of this letter  by furnishing me with your full name and address and telephone and fax numbers. Should you decide to decline this business proposal, I would like for you to kindly contact me to notify us of your decision.  This will enable us continue our search for the right individual or foreign company to execute this business transaction.  I must stress that timing is of essence in this business.

I am currently on an official assignment here in the Netherlands and wait in anticipation of your decision.

Regards,
Dr. Francis Antonie

This story is from a certain Dave Coleman Union Bank Plc. Lagos Nigeria, and was received on 28 October 2002:
 I am the manager of bill and exchange Foreign Operations Department of Union Bank of Nigeria. I am writing following an impressive information about you through one of my friend who runs a consultancy firm. He assured of your capability and reliability, although I did not tell him the details of the business I want to do with you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $11.5million dollars (Eleven million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along side his entire family in November 1996 in the ADC plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his relation 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. Unfortunately we learnt that all his immediate family members died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim since the account is his private account. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don¨ˆt want this money to go back into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds and will further be handed over to government. 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 next of kin to a foreigner. We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while the balance will be for my colleagues and I. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the funds to you as arranged, you must apply first to my bank as next of kin of the deceased. Upon receipt of your response I will send to you a text of the application with the name of the deceased and his country and other information about him. Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you get this mail, do contact me with the email address. or call me 234-1-7753796 .

This story was written by a certain Mrs. Deborah Kabila, one of the wives of President Kabila of Congo and was received on 27 October 2002. There are other related stories from a certain Laurent Mpeti Kabila (Jnr) the presidents second son (received on 28 October 2002) and from a certain Mongunu Kabila, the president's junior brother (received on 16 October 2002)
save our soul ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO,
I am Mrs. Deborah Kabila, one of the wives of Late
President Laurent D. Kabila of Democratic Republic
ofCongo (DRC). Consequent upon the assassination of my husband, I am
in possession of USD 20,000,000 (Twenty Million
US Dollars Only) being funds secured by my late
husband for his personal use, which is in my care.
This fund has since been deposited in a
securitycompany in (Canada, North America.)
It is now my intention to move the said fund out of
the security company for immediate investment for the
benefit of i and my children.Based on this  I
solicited for your assistance to enable me move this money out of the security company.
However, note that my children and I have agreed to
give you 20% of the total fund if you can accept the
offer of assisting us.  Also it will be your
responsibility in directing us on a viable business.
It is also my intention to relocate and probably take
a temporarily resident in your country untill
all the troubles in my country will be resolved. We
advised that you look for a house we will buy as
soonas we arrived.
To conclude this transaction, you will be required to
travel to Canada to open an account in any bank there
in Canada where the security company will deposit the
total sum in your favor. From this bank the money will
be remitted into your original bank in your country.
Immediately this is done, i and my children will
depart Togo to your country, where we are expected
totake a temporary resident.
Please note that I can not do this transaction on my
own as i dont have the contacts and also considering
my position here, because My late husband's first
son-JOSEPH-who took over power in our country, don't
want to see me and my children, He claimed that when
our husband was alive, that I was very close to him
than any other of his wives including his (Joseph)
mother. And due to this closeness he claimed that  I
was able to get things from him more than others. As a
result he has been monitoring me. Infact this is one of the main reasons I took  my
children out of our country to a nearby country
(Togo)where we are now.
I will be expecting to hear from you.Thanking you in
advance.Yours faithfully, Deborah Kabila (Mrs.)
N/B:I do not understand english, my son speaks and
writes for me, do excuse me for that. Also for your
view i have a very confidential picture of the money
taken by my late husband before it was deposited with
the security company. Kindly give me your direct telephone
number for more explanations.

This story is from a certain ALKATIRI HARMITO, Jakarta, Indonesia, and was received on 24 October 2002:
INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.
I' m sure that this letter will come to you as a surprise
but please carefully read it and see how best that you
can co- operate with our family to actualize our
objective. My name is Alkatiri Harmito, the eldest
son of L.M. Harmito . My father was the personal
assistant on Special duties to President Suharto of
Indonesia -amongst other positions which he held.
With his positions in the reign of President Suharto
he was privileged to earn some money as goodwill
and kickbacks from his boss and other multi national
companies in Indonesia. Until his death on the 20th,
of March, 2002 he was a strong believer in the
policies/course of his former boss, President Surhato.
 MY REASON OF CONTACTING IS AS
FOLLOWS: Before my late father's death, he
managed through his Diplomatic contacts deposited
 boxes containing fifty million united states Dollars
(USD$50million) Dollars. My late father deposited the
 Trunk Boxes containing the money with a security
company and declared to them that the Boxes contains
 precious stones and vital Business Agreements
between him and his foreign associates. He did not
want them to know that the Boxes contained money
to avoid high custody fees and sabotage. Now, My
family and I would want to know if you could help us
take this money out of Security vaults company - I
would tell you the country where the company is after
getting your response to this mail. You will retrieve the
boxes containing the fund on our behalf as my late
father's foreign Business associates for investment
purposes. Currently our family including my mother are
now living in our country(Indonesia) as political refugee
because of the hostile attitude of the president toward
us after my father's death. This is one of the reasons
why we do not wish to use any of my late father's
contact so as to maintain secrecy and confidentiality in
this transaction. There is no problem whatsoever since
my mother shall physically handover to you all the
documents regarding the truck Boxes including an
agreement and memorandum of understanding dully
signed between my late father and the security
company. For your assistance and help, my family and
I have agreed to give you 25% of the total funds, 5 %
will be for any expenses you or us might incurred
during the course of this transaction, while 70% will
be for me and my family. I think this is fair enough, or
what do you think? Please feel free to contact us
through E-mail or Thuraya satellite phone:
+882 164 668 8451. Ask as many questions as you
like, but you must treat this letter as the highest secret
of your life since we wouldn't like to be exposed..
Incase you are not interested kindly inform us so
that we will make another contact. More details when
we hear from you.
Thank you.
GRATEFULLY TREAT AS URGENT.

This story is from a certain Hajia Mariam Abacha and was received on 24 October 2002:
Dear Friend,
It is with hope that I write to seek your help in the context below.I am Hajia Mariam Abacha, wife of Nigeria's former head of state; Late General Sani Abacha, whose sudden death occurred on the 8th of June 1998. Since my husband died, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration. The security agents in the country have subjected me to physical and psychological torture. My son (Mohammed Abacha) is still under detention arraigned before the federal high court of Nigeria for an offence he did not commit.

As a widow that is so traumatized, I am hopeless with my present faith. You must have heard over the media reports on the recovery of various sums of money deposited by my late husband with various security firms. Some companies willingly gave up their secret and disclosed our money confidently lodged there, or many, out right blackmail. Infact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $200 Million USD and they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I came in contact with your name and address in a website and would want to have good confidence in you as I view you to be a responsible personality.

I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to assist me in receiving into your custody( for safety) the sum of $25.2 Million USD willed and deposited safely in my favour by my late husband. This money is currently kept in Safe Deposit Box (SDB) at a security firm within South Africa. As it is legally required, the administration of my late husband's property is under the authority of the family's Lawyer (Attorney)Barrister Frederick Alade William (SAN).

The investigative teams set up by my Government have submitted their report after freezing almost all our account. Fortunately, our family lawyer had secretly protected the personal will of my husband from the notice of the investigators and have strictly advised that the $25.2m USD be urgently moved to an overseas account of any trust worthy but ANNONYMOUS foreign family friend without delay, for security reasons. All our traveling papers have been seized by the government thereby preventing us from traveling and all the local and international outfit of our business empire seized. This sum of money is our only hope to stay alive.

I have therefore agreed to compensate your goodself with 20% of the total deposit when you finally the deposit box from the security firm and lodged in your account. They have equally guaranteed 100% risk-free and smooth transfer. If you are interested in assisting me,you can write me through my email.

I got your particulars from a site in the internet. For obvious security reasons, it is imperative that you keep all our communication very secret.Donot mention my family,s name or disclose the transaction to anybody. If you are not interested in assisting me, still get in touch so that I can make alternative arrangement as time is of the essence. Please do not expose me.

Regards,
Hajia Mariam Abacha.



This story is from a certain Mr Daniel Osondu and was received on 24 October 2002:
Dear Sir,
I am writing this proposal hoping that you would be of assistance in this business of mutual benefit. My name is Daniel Osondu an auditor at one of the Federal Ministries in lagos-Nigeria.

During our last audit exercise,some amount of money totalling $16.5Million was discovered and traced to be owned by one late Engineer Muller Robert, a foreigner who died in a plane crash. The source of this fund was further traced to be a contract payment made to him but has remained unclaimed till now.Since his death, nobody has shown up to claim this fund and this attracted my curiosity.

I therefore made a research and found out that he did not leave any next of kin in his confidential document with the ministry that he executed the contract for. A panel setup by the Federal Government on recovery of funds expects that this fund should be unquestionably claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively the fund should be donated for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Fervent valuable efforts were made by the Panel to get in touch with any of the 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 next of kin ( he had no wife and children) that the panel under the influence of our chairman, Rtd Major General Usman Bello, that arrangement is being made for the fund to be declared UNCLAIMABLED 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. To forestall this move, my colleagues and I have taken it upon ourselves to source for a foreign partner who could assist in claimimg this fund for further transfer abroad.

I have been given the sole mandate to source for a partner as soon as possible to that effect.All documents and proof to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount if you agree to assist while 10% would be set aside to offset all expenses in
course of the transfer and the rest would be for us for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is OK by you, and you do wish to take the advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly reach me immediately via my confidential e-mail or fax number +23417597019 furnishing me with your most confidential telephone and fax numbers and exclusive email so that I can forward to you the relevant details of the transaction.
I expect your urgent response.

Subject:  Looking forward to hearing from you
From:   Kwame nyame-bako <kwame@dygo.com>

Hello, My name is Kwame Nyame-Bonso, a Ghanaian National. I work as administrative secretary with West Coast Security Ltd in Accra Ghana. I decided to contact you, believing that by the grace of God you will accept this and be my  partner in business. I have been working with this company for the past 15 years. Within this period, I have watched with meticulous precision how African heads of states and government functionaries have been using West Coast Security to move huge sums of money USD ($),Pound Sterlings,French Franc (Cash) to their foreign partners. They bring in these consignments of money (cash) and secretly declare the content as jewelleries,gold, diamond, precious stones, family treasure, documents etc.The late Mobutu Seseko of Zaire, Foday Sanko of Sierra-Leone, Babangida of Nigeria,the late Felix Houphet Buigny of Ivory Cost, Henry Konan Bedie of Ivory Cost and not forgetting late General Sani Abacha of Nigeria etc. These people have hundreds of consignments deposited with West Coast Security Ltd. Their foreign partners, friends, and relatives, are claiming most of these consignments. A lot of these deposits are lying here unclaimed for as much as 15years .Nobody may ever come for them because in most cases, the documents of deposit are never available to any body except the depositors and most of them are dead.

Since the inception of the new millennium,West Coast Security ltd management changed the procedure of claims of consignments.As soon as you are able to produce all the secret information as contained in the secret file of any consignment, it will be  released to you
upon demand. From our records, about 300 consignments belonging to these people has been claimed in the past six months. This is why I am soliciting for your co-operation and assistance.  The late Gen.Sanni Abacha has 160 consignments deposited with several names and codes.62 has been claimed in past(6)six months. Since he is dead and his first son died in a plane crash, the second son is facing trial for murder and embezzlement, the family members are restricted and under house arrest without communication. I have finished every arrangement for you to come and claim consignment, No. 1201 containing US$13,000,000.00(Million Dollars) and Consignment No.1200 containing US$ 17,000,000.00(Million Dollars).

My duty is to supply you with all the information and documents by Fax  then you will deal with the management directly. I will officially see to it that the director of operations West Coast Security Ltd.releases these consignments to you.They will demand for some documents and secret codes. Call me and I will supply you with every detailed information and you will fax it to them. As soon as they confirm it to be correct they will invite you for the collection. If you do not want to come to Accra, you can arrange with them to transfer the consignment to anywhere on agreement. No body will ever know I am involved in this deal in  the company.  I'll suggest upon conclusion,we share 50-50. I will then arrange to come over to your country.

I assure you that the business have  been hatched for 2 years now, it is very secure and risk
free. I shall give you my phone number as soon as you notify me your interest in this deal.

This is my opportunity to have a break in life and so would want you to keep this information
confidential  God bless you as you prepare for us to work together.

Best regards, Kwame Nyame-Bonso.

Currently, this proposal is to inform you that I want to transfer this fund into any of your personal account or company's account within the shortest possible time for self keeping.  Please note that this transaction demands the highest degree of trust and confidentiality between us, moreover, it's a risk free in sense that I have taken proper care of all formalities regarding it.

This story is from a certain Alkatiri Harmito, Jakarta, Indonesia and was received on 17 October 2002:
INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE REQUIRED.
I' m sure that this letter will come to you as a surprise but
please carefully read it and see how best that you can
co- operate with our family to actualize our objective.
My name is Alkatiri Harmito, the eldest son of L.M. Harmito .
 My father was the personal assistant on Special duties to
President Suharto of Indonesia -amongst other positions
which he held. With his positions in the reign of President
Suharto he was privileged to earn some money as goodwill
and kickbacks from his boss and other multi national
companies in Indonesia. Until his death on the
20th, of March, 2002 he was a strong believer in the
policies/course of his former boss, President Surhato.

MY REASON OF CONTACTING IS AS FOLLOWS:
Before my late father's death, he managed through his
Diplomatic contacts deposited boxes containing
fifty million united states Dollars (USD$50million) Dollars.
My late father deposited the Trunk Boxes containing the
money with a security company and declared to them that
the Boxes contains precious stones and vital Business
Agreements between him and his foreign associates.
He did not want them to know that the Boxes contained
money to avoid high custody fees and sabotage. Now,
My family and I would want to know if you could help us
take this money out of Security vaults company - I would
tell you the country where the company is after getting your
response to this mail. You will retrieve  the boxes containing
the fund on our behalf as my late father's foreign Business
associates for investment purposes. Currently our family
including my mother are now living in our country(Indonesia)
as political refugee because of the hostile attitude of the
president toward us after my father's death. This is one of the
reasons why we do not wish to use any of my late father's contact so as to maintain
secrecy and confidentiality in this transaction. There is
no problem whatsoever since my mother shall physically
handover to you all the documents regarding the truck Boxes
including an agreement and memorandum of understanding
dully signed between my late father and the security company.
For your assistance and help, my family and I have agreed to
give you 25% of the total funds, 5 % will be for any expenses
you or us might incurred during the course of this transaction,
while 70% will be for me and my family. I think this is fair
enough, or what do you think? Please feel free to contact us
through E-mail or Thuraya satellite phone: +882 164 668 8451.
Ask as many questions as you like, but you must treat this
letter as the highest secret of your life since we wouldn't like
to be exposed.. Incase you are not interested kindly inform
us so that we will make another contact.

More details when we hear from you.  Thank you.
GRATEFULLY TREAT AS URGENT.
Best regards,  ALKATIRI HARMITO.

This story is from a certain Alberto Martins and was received on 16 October 2002:
FOR SECURITY REASONS, PLEASE SEND YOUR REPLY ONLY TO
THE 4 EMAIL ADDRESSES BELOW:

(1)albins20@egyptemail.com
(2)albins20@CarrolltonGA.zzn.com
(3)albins20@langoo.com
(4)albins20@execs.com

My name is Alberto Martins, and I am writing you from
my home in Santa Clara, about 165 miles east of
Havana, the Capital City of Cuba. Santa Clara is known
for two landmarks; The famous Revolutionary, Che
Guevera is buried here; and it is home to one of
Cuba's largest universities, La Universidad Central
"Martha Abreu" de Las Villas.

This is a compelling story, and I beg you to be
patient and read through to the end…I was adopted in
1962, at age 14 months by Mr. Giovanni  Martins, the
Sugar and tobacco millionaire; some say he also made
his fortune from the lucrative illicit drugs trade.
My adoption brought so much controversy (probably
because I am black), that Mr. Martins was forced by
his family to put me into a foster home at age 5 ,
where I stayed until maturity; Like most Cuban youths,
I dreamt of freedom, which every one here  knows is
called America; like most youths, in time, I joined an
Anti-Castro group and that merited automatic 24 hours
round the clock surveillance by the Secret Police, but
this is also normal in Cuba!
 Mr. Martins, my father nevertheless funded my
education through the above mentioned university,
where I graduated in Automobile Engineering. I am now
a mechanic, making just enough to take care of my wife
Maria, and 3 boys, Junior,  Jose, and Giovanni.

Sadly, My father died in 1996; left only his wife and
family (he died childless), and I was not invited to
his funeral by his family, but we mourned him deeply;
I had no memory of my real father; but I loved him for
his kindness to me; he frequently defied his family to
visit me…When I got married, he gave my wife a ring
present which we later found out was a diamond ring!
His Last Will and testament was read and probated. No
mention was made of me and my family. Understandably,
I carried on with my life.

Two weeks ago, I received a letter from London, from a
private Security deposit firm, and the contents of
that letter put me into shock! I kept the letter for a
week without mentioning it to my wife. Eventually I
revealed everything to her…apparently My late father,
Mr. Martins had provided for us after all! Mr.
Giovanni Martins had bought shares worth about 10
Million USD in 1978, (when I turned 18) and left it in
my name; over time, My father bought more shares and
increased the shareholding to USD30 million! ( I am
made to understand that the current market value is
far in excess of this figure…). The letter explained
that according to the terms and agreement reached with
my late father, the shares were to be delivered to me
(The Beneficiary) one calendar year after his death;
The manager of this firm in his letter apologized to
me for waiting so long to contact me; information of
my father’s death simply did not reach him until a
chance newspaper publication alerted him of the fact.
I was then invited to come forward to London, to claim
my Inheritance! The total current value of my shares
now stand at approximately USD45 million and rising!

But this simple invitation to travel to London  is
fraught with problems!  I have no International
Passport! It is impossible to travel out of Cuba,
unless with special permission which will of course
take months of paperwork to procure…As an Anti-Castro
sympathizer , I have absolutely no hope of leaving
Cuba legally…The only option is to leave by illegal
ferry to the American Coast of Miami, which is
extremely dangerous…Every one knows that success rate
is about 20%, the unlucky get captured and repatriated
back, to prison! But the rich and the connected have a
better chance by using low flying aircraft ( which
will beat the Cuban Radar) to smuggle them selves out!

I therefore desperately need your help!  I need you to
contact the London Company on my behalf ; secure the
Share Certificates from the Company, and sell/redeem
the shares for the current market value and deposit
the money into a Bank Account. Once the money is
secured, I will make the usual underground deal to be
smuggled out of Cuba by aircraft, to freedom!
There is absolutely NO RISK to you  in this
transaction; I and my family are the ones at risk...
Therefore, I will make no attempt to call you by land
based telephone, which is routinely bugged and
monitored by the Secret Police; the only safe
telephone is a Satellite Telephone, which I have given
you below…Please dial this Satellite telephone and fax
straight, thus  ++ 871 762 127 825 Telephone; and fax
++ 871 762 127 823 ; You can reach me through these
numbers, and please remember NOT to add the Cuban
Country Code of 53 in front of these Satellite phone
and fax numbers! If you experience any difficulty,
please consult your international telephone operator
for assistance.

In consideration of your expenses during the course of
this transaction, I freely offer you 30% of the value
of my shares. If you are willing to help me recover my
inheritance, please so indicate in your return reply
mail and I will follow up with more details of the
London Company contact address and also more details
of the shares including the issuing company web
address etc. You will then contact the London Security
Deposit Company and thereafter schedule to travel to
London to close the deal on my behalf and put the
USD45million safely into the Banking system…

Looking forward to your urgent reply,
Sincerely,
Alberto Martins

This story is from a certain Alli Mongunu Kabila, president Kabila's junior brother and was received on 16 October 2002.  There are other related stories from a certain Laurent Mpeti Kabila (Jnr) the presidents second son and from a certain Deborah Kabila, one of president Kabila's wives.
Dear Sir,

I know you will be surprised to receive this letter.  My name is Alli
Mongunu Kabila, the junior brother of late Laurent Kabila, the former
president of Democratic Republic of Congo [D.R.C.] I got your contact through
the South Africa information Exchange [S.A.I.E] regarding your
trustworthiness; as such I decided to ask for your assistance to transfer some money
out of South Africa into your personal or company account.

I was the NationalSecurity Adviser to his government and I gave him
my full support to fightthe rebel out of D.R.C.

By virtue of my rank and status in his government, I am supposed to
be installed as the next president of the country.  But as the
situation will have it,and out of sentiments by some of the officers in the cabinet, the
government was handed over to his son.  This made me loose interest
in the government and I resigned from my service with the government.

My late brother Laurent Kabila had with him $16 M.USD [sixteen
Million United States Dollars], which was kept under my care, for the
purchase of ammunitions to strengthen the coalition of soldiers from different
countries fighting the rebels in our country.  Because of the apathy of the government
in power and with this huge sum in my possession, I quickly made an
arrangement for security reasons and moved it to South Africa; it's
now deposited with a Security and Finance Company.

 I am temporarily living in South Africa as an asylum seeker, and the
Financial Laws of the Republic of South Africa do not allow asylum
seekers certain financial rights.  In view of this, I am requesting your
assistance.  Because of the way in which this money was acquired, I
decided not to invest the money anywhere in Africa, hence my asking
you to assist me transfer this money outside South Africa for investment purposes.

For your efforts, 25% of the total sum of the money will be yours if
you will assist me in this regard.  I have also decided to use 5% of
this money to settle for any expenses we may incur during the process of this
transaction.  The balance I intend to invest in profitable ventures in your
country or elsewhere you may advise.

From the above, you will understand that my entire life and future
depends on this money, as such, I shall be very grateful if you can
assist me. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free and the major
thing I demand from you is an absolute assurance that the money will be
safe when transferred to your account.  If you will be of assistance, kindly
contact me on Tele/ or E-mail .

Even when you decide otherwise, I will be grateful if you
can maintain the confidentiality of this matter.

I am looking forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
Alli Mongunu Kabila.

This story is from a certain Johnson Mowete and was received on 9 September 2002:
                  Urgent Assistance   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 Johnson Mowete the first son of Frank Mowete ,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 telephone number and through my private E-mail address(mjohnson20@weedmail.com), while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.

Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Johnson, mjohnson20@weedmail.com

GOLDEN BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

I am an Attorney and close confidant of MRS. MARYAM
ABACHA, the former first lady and wife of the late
GEN. SANI ABACHA, the former head of state and
commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.

She (MRS. M. ABACHA), has as a result of the trust and
confidence she has in me mandated that I search for a
reliable and trustworthy foreign partner, who
will help receive some funds which she had in cash
totaling US$45m (Forty Five Million United States
Dollars Only) into a personal, company or any
reliable foreign bank account for safe keeping for a
short period of time, since her family bank accounts
within and outside the country have all been
frozen by the authorities. (I would refer you to the

http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/2000/27/swiss.html ,
 for further information about these monies and the ABACHAS)

This money in question has however, been carefully
keptin defaced form and deposited with a security
company that has branches in Europe and America.
You may therefore be required to travel to any
of the branches to collect the money on behalf of my
client for safe keeping.

It may also interest you to know that she (MRS.
ABACHA) and her family have, since the inception of
the present democratic government, been placed under
partial house arrest, with their international
traveler's passports withdrawn pending  the resolution
of current fund recovery face - off between them and
the present RTD GEN. OBASANJO led Federal Government,
which from all indications will not exceed this year.

She has decided to offer anybody who will be willing
to render this tremendous assistance 20% of the total
sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses.

Note that this transaction involves no risks
whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my
Country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with
the security company, which is based where the money
is right now.

Let me have your confidential Tel/Fax Numbers in your
response to this proposal.

I shall let you into a complete picture of this
mutually beneficial transaction when I have received
your anticipated positive reply. This matter should be
treated as urgent and confidential. This is very
important.

This story is from a certain Aliu Gwarzo and was received on 13 October 2001:
Request for Assistance
 My name is Aliu Gwarzo, I am the son of Alhaji
Ismaila  Gwarzo who was the security adviser to the Nigerian
 former head of state, late General Sanni Abacha.
 During my father's tenure in office, he was able to
 deposit the sum of US$18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million
 United States Dollars) with a finance house in
Netherlands.  This money was a part of the 1997
 security vote, which was given to him by General
 Abacha in compensation for his unflinching support
for  government's plan to succeed him.
 With the demise of Abacha and the assumption of
office  by General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) as the head of
 state of Nigeria, my father and his colleagues were
 relieved of their posts.  An ad-hoc commission of
 enquiry was set up to probe their activities while in
 office.  They were briefly detained and released
 because of their connections with some well-placed>
individuals in authority.
 General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd), in keeping with his
 vow of running a transparent and corruption-free
 government, continued from where his predecessor
 stopped in probing high ranking officials that served
 under Abacha.  As a result of this, my father's
 international passport was seized, his housing
estates  in Kano, Abuja, Lagos and Kaduna were confiscated and
 declared as government properties.  His accounts in
 five different banks in Nigeria were discovered and
 frozen.  Also frozen were four of his accounts in
 Geneva and one in Zurich.  The Swiss bank has agreed
 to repatriate the sum of US$150.6 million lodged in
 these various accounts to the Central Bank of
Nigeria.
  My father is presently in detention 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$18,000,000.00 my father transfered
 to Netherlands has not been discovered.  I am
 therefore soliciting your help to have this money
 transfered into your account.  All the necessary
 documents that will facilitate this transaction was
 given to me by my father immediately he got wind of
 government's intention to detain him.  My reason for
 doing this is because it will be difficult for the
 Nigerian government to trace my father's money to an
 individual's account, especially when such an
 individual has no relationship with the Gwarzo
family.
 If you indicate your interest in this transaction, I
 will enter into negotiation with you on what you
 expect to keep from the fund as your charge/fee.   I
 will also send you all the necessary documents
 purporting that you executed a contract for one of my
 father's companies in Nigeria.  With these documents
 you will proceed to Netherlands where the
 US$18,000,000.00 will be given to you as payment for
 the contract.  Alternatively, you can have the fund
 transferred into any account that suits you.  PLEASE
 YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY
REQUIRED.
 Yours sincerely, Aliu Gwarzo.
