Compliment of the season to you.

I Presume this letter meets you in the best of all times.

I am Barrister Olumide Williams  a solicitor at law.

I am the personal attorney to Mr. Harry Davies
a national of your country, who used to work with
ZENON OIL REFINERY NIGERIA (PLC). On the 6th of May, 2002
it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their
only daughter were involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State, enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives, unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others. The following websites could be referenced:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm

Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

I contacted you to assist in claiming this fund from the
finance house where he deposited it bfore his untimely
death.

The finance company where the deceased had an account
valued at about USD$7.5 million dollars has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have theaccount
confisicated within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$7.5 million dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.

All I need is your full maximum suport and cooperation to
enable us achieve this transaction within 10 working days
and I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.

If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish
me with your full name, address, private telephone and fax numbers to enable us commence immediately.

Please Send Your Response to me at my private email as
below:
olumidewilliams@ny.com

Best regards,
Olumide Williams.

DEAR SIR,
May it not be a suprise to recieve this letter from me ,considering the fact that you do not know me. First I must seek for your understanding and with hope that you will have the wisdom to understand this matter and be in a position to help as you will be surely blessed as you help. I am MR GEORGE ABBEY,I am 41 Years old and also a Branch Manager with a Bank in Nigeria named, UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA{UBA} . I have a transaction which I think will be of mutual benefit to both of us. In my desire for a befiting foreign partner with whom to do this transaction with, I got your contact from a foreign trade Centre in my Country. As the manager of a branch of UBA, I discovered some amount of money while I was auditing accounts for the 2001 financial year which has been lying there for over 3 years. On further inquiry, I discovered that this money totalling about USD$2O.5 Million (Twenty Million! five hundred thousand United States Dollars) including accumulated interest which belonged to one MR. ROBERT LIN ,a Chinese Nationale who lived here and died intestate without providing anybody to claim the money. This man died through a plane crash of ADC airlines in 1998. I have Successfully secured the money and with the assistance of powerful contact, the money has been moved out of my bank and deposited in a security company for safe keeping. I am therefore requesting to have your personal information to enable me prepare documents which will authenticate that the funds belongs to you as the next of kin to MR. ROBERT LIN and to enable you claim the money since nobody has come to claim the money. According to the law here if by the end of this year nobody comes up for the money it will be claimed by the Management of my Bank. I am sure that you will be in a position to provide a safe account where the money will be deposited pending my arrival to meet with you.For us to file application of claim to this money as the next of Kin i will need to have your personal informations which includes , YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS,TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER, AND YOUR FULL BANK DETAILS WHERE THIS FUNDS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO. This transaction is absolutely risk free with no legal complications as we have made arrangements to secure all the legal documents that will free us from any litigation, I have made all necessary arrangements with the security company ,that as soon as i get your confirmation of interest in this venture,we shall put in all the necessary paper which will authorize the security company to process the funds and get it transferred through their offshore bank to your account. In doing this you must have to maintain a high degree of trust and adequate confidentiality is required and on suceessful completion of this transfer to your account ,I have agreed that you will retain 30% of the total sum while 70% will be for me.

Finally I want you to note that we are going to spend money where necessary to make this venture work out successfully.Therefore, confirm your interest in this transcation immediately by sending the above mentioned informations as to enable us finalize this issue as soon as possible. I need to emphasize once again that a high degree of trust and confidentiality is required in this transcation.Finally i want to inform you that as soon as the funds are in your account and the sharing completed between us ,you will introduce me into lucrative business in your country because i will like to invest most of my money in your country.Please reply through this email address{...@...}

Awaiting your urgent response ASAP.
Yours Faithfully
GEORGE ABBEY

What someone will go through to get money out of someone, of course I won't feel sorry for people who fall for these guys, don't believe these things unless you accually knew the person(s) who (supposedly) died.

I just like reading them. Some are really interesting. Like they say something like you pay 2000 dollars for the paperwork and then we put 20 million in your bank account.

I wouldn't want to call anybody stupid, but some people just are :D
