Hello,

Compliment of the day to you, I wish to apologize for bashing into your mail without any formal notification, the content of the message below is an emergency situation that need urgent solution. Kindly allow me to introduce my humble self to you.

My name is Master Nicholas Akpose I'm from Sudan, I'm 21yrs old, from a Christian back-ground, I live presently in Ghana at the United Nations High Commission for Refugee (UNHCR) camp popularly known as Buduburam Camp.

I write you this mail to inform you about my consignment that is in Ontario Canada presently. My late father's foreign partner who’s supposed to help me receive the consignment died almost a week now. What I want you to do for me is to help me receive the consignment from the delivery agent in Ontario.

If you can assist me regarding to what I am writing, you will help me to invest the money inside the consignment into a lucrative and profitable business over there in your country. The total money inside my consignment is $29,000.000.00usd.You will be entitled to 30% of the total sum if you are able to help me receive the consignment.

I really need your help because I don't want the delivery agent to bring the consignment back to Africa, It cost me a huge sums of money to get the consignment out of Africa and presently I'm broke and it will be disastrous if the delivery agent should bring back the consignment to Africa.

Kindly send me your address so that I can forward it to the delivery agent for him to contact you and meet you. I will also like to seek your permission for me to give the delivery agent your phone number so that he can call you regarding to this issue.

I will give you all the details concerning the consignment if you get back to me.
Thanks and hope to read your reply.
Nicholas Akpose.

Hello,

I am contacting you on a business transaction of a huge sum of money
from a deceased account,though i know a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I'm assuring you that
all will be well at the end of the day and this is why am contacting
you due to the urgency of this transaction.

We discovered an abandoned sum of (Seven million five hundred
thousand United States dollars) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customer who died along side with his entire family, and ever
since his death none of his next of kin or relations has come forward
to lay claims for this money as his heir.

We cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for
claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated on our banking
guidelines. And upon this discovery we now seek your permission to have
you stand as a next of kin to the deceased in which all documentations
will be carefully worked out by us for the (Seven million five hundred
thousand United States dollars) to be released in your favor as the
beneficiary's/next of kin to the deceased. And It may interest you to
know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate
any of the deceased beneficiary.

Kindly acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of
our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the
following;

1. Beneficiary name and contact address.
2. Direct telephone and fax numbers.
3. Date of birth and occupation.

These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate
departments and authorities for necessary approvals for the release of the
funds in your favor, before the transfer can be made to you. And we will be
compensating you with thirty percent of the total funds on final conclusion
of this project, while the rest will be for us and for investment purposes.
And If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust we have bestowed in you.

NB: If you are willing to assist me, including the information's i have
requested from you, call me on my confidential tel: +871-764107753 for
further details on what to do next.

US Soldier ,In need of Assistance, somehow, I dont really understand why.....

From: Major Selma Linda George (correo@telefonica.net)
Sent: February 20, 2009 12:11:00 PM
Subject: I am a US Soldier ,I need Your Assistance Please (Confidential)‏

Dear Friend,

My name is Major,Selma George. I am an American soldier with Swiss background,
serving in the military with the army 3rd infantry division.With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found
your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind
assistance to move the sum of ( $ 3.2 million u.s.dollars )three million, two
hundred united states dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share
will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, this is no stolen
money, and there are no danger involved. I am presently in a hospital
recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.

Source of money:

Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near
one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and
it was agreed by staff Sgt Kenneth buff and I that some part of this money be
shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw
the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No
compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell
hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week.

Please view website for confirmation;

http://www.voanews.com/burmese/archive/2003-04/a-2003-04-20-1-1.cfm

The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money
became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and
his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to move the money to a security
company in bangkok thailand as a diplomatic baggage. They are now waiting for
us to provide the name of beneficiary who they will transfer the funds to. The
reason i want you to claim the funds on my behalf is that as a soldier, i
cannot present a concrete evidence on how i made such a big amount of money
down here. Besides the US Government is trying their best to keep their eyes on
soldiers here inorder to effect a high level of discipline among us.The moment
i
am sure that you are willing to assist me, i will give you the information of
the security company and the security code of the baggage.I want
you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you
will give to me.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please
destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us
soldiers here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will remain here, and i have
been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace
of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach
out for help, i honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please
contact me as soon aspossible, my only way of communication is email.

Yours in Service.

No risk, All reward.....

Subject: Re:PRIVATE PROJECT
From: "Zaohang Lin" <info@lin.com>
Reply-To: boc_zaohanglin@yahoo.com.hk

Email::boc_zaohanglin@yahoo.com.hk

Dear Associate,

Thank you for giving me your time. Please be patient and read my email to you.

I am Zaohang Lin, bank manager of the Bank of China, Shenzhen branch.Prior to this position, I was attached to Private Banking services.I am contacting you concerning an investment placed under our banks management 4 years ago; you are contacted independently out of investigation in the bank. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

In the year 1998, a certain Mr Robert Rice came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 30 million United States dollars, which he wished to have us invest on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I then proceeded to provide numerous suggestions and advise in line with my duties as the de-facto Chief Operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed.
I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made very attractive profits margins during our first months of operation; the accrued profit and interest at this point stood at over 34.5 million United States dollars. He desired low risk and guaranteed returns on investments, and as such we could not utilize the full potential of the funds.

On November 6, 2001, he requested disinvestments and directed that the funds be deposited in a Fixed (Numbered) Deposit account in my branch for 12 calendar months. His instructions were precisely followed to the latter and all the funds recalled from the active market and deposited.

Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that he 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 he did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This money is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and versee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I am proposing.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.

We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and tarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% 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 to this email:boc_zaohanglin@yahoo.com.hk

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I am not doing anything against good conscience. I know that this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk

I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life.
Let's share the blessing.

Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. 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.

Thanks and regards.

Zaohang Lin.
