Abacha? I thought they had given up with this one

Seeing as the all the Abacha family clan are involved in corruption on a scale which is hard to comprehend for normal citizens, a story like this could capture the imagination of people who have never heard of this family.

Funny how they all insist that the victims should be totally honest :-)

FROM HAJIA MARIAM ABACHA

Dear Sir/Madam,
Following the sudden death of my husband, General Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country. My son 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 have lost confidence with anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail.
In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium. I will give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of $28.6 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Mustapha alone, so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being. I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all
possible, just help me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund .
Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things.

In case you dont accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence. I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action. Please contact me through my alternative email: mariamabc22@katamail.com
Sincerely yours,
Hajia Mariam Abacha

Same text, another scam!

If you look closely at all these lottery e-mails, you recognise that they are all the same. Considering the ammount of this type of scam being sent out and reported on, it is surprising that people are still losing money on this.

Most of the victims who report their losses to us come from regions such as India or the Phillipines. We have recognised the fact that these criminals do not have any qualms in taking people's money, who may only earn a few hundred dollars a month.

For these people 800 dollars could be 2 or 3 months earnings! It's bad, regardless how you look at it.

This time it's the "Christian with Cancer from Where?" story

Greetings,

I am Mrs. Rosaline Holstein I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old; 2 years ago I was diagnosed for cancer, immediately after the death of my husband Mr. Gregory Ray Holstein, who has left me everything he worked for while in America.

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than one hour.

I decided to WILL/donate an amount that will be disclosed to you later for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my representative is aware I have changed my will and he will arrange the transfer of the funds to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.

Contact my representative who is in person of Mr. Mark Johnson with this specified email; infomarkjohnson@netscape.net and inform him that I have briefed you about the Will and he will inform you of the amount I am willing to you for the good work. I know I dont know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.

Regards,

Mrs. Rosaline Holstein.

The "Christian with Cancer from Kuwait" story

There are a whole lot this kind of e-mails going around. The story variations are as mainfold as grains of sand on the sea shore.

PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOUR ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD.

Dear Brethren in Christ,

I am Mrs. Mary Surana, a Kuwaiti National I was married
to Dr.Jacob Surana who worked with Kuwait embassy in
South Africa for nine years before he died in the year
2000,He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days.Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home
which the Bible is against.

We were married for eleven years and the union
unfortunately did not produce any offspring. Before
his death we had given our lives to Christ and were
living according to his Words. A few weeks ago I was
diagnosed with cancer and the doctor has informed me
that I do not have much time to live. Presently I am
practically an invalid as the cancer has ravaged my
body and I can feel my life slowly ebbing away. I do
not have much time to do the Lord's work but He will
give me strength to see my last assignment through.

My husband, Dr.Jacob Surana before his death deposited
his life savings of $8.6Million (Eight Million Six
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a consignment trunk
box as gem stones with a financial institution in the
European continent.Before his death, we were committed
to the growth of the church And the propagation of the
word, but I can no longer partake in these noble task.

I need a church, Christian individual or individuals
who can continue the work on our behalf and will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here
into-funding churches, orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained. To care for the sick, the
poor, the downtrodden wherever they may be The Bible
made us to understand that blessed is the hand that
gives. I took this decision because I don't have any
child or next of kin who can inherit these
funds.Though the internet is a seemingly unlikely
place to find such individuals, I believe that the
Lord hides jewels in the most unlikely places. It is
not the means that is important but the message. I
know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case
and I shall hold my peace.With God all things are
possible.

My lawyer who is presently on an assignment in The
U K will issue you a letter of authorization
that will prove you as the present-beneficiary to
these consignment funds and also other documents
backing the claim of the consignment funds. I want you
and the church to always pray for me because the lord
is my shepherd.Happiness is that I lived a life of a
worthy Christian.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you.

N.B-PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO CONTACT THE LAWYER IN
CHARGE IN LONDON IMMEDIATELY, HE DOES
EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING
AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD YOU TO SUCCESS IN JESUS
NAME.

Hello,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good health.

However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and the immense benefit it will be to you.

After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you for your most needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing in your privacy if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. I got your contacts through my personal research and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.

First, I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. Glory Zuma, mother of three; my husband?s name is Mr. Bertus Zuma. He was on holidays in Thailand when the Tsunami struck and Swept him and others away on the 26th of December 2004.Shortly my husband died, a private securities firm in Europe contacted me as Next of kin to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit and all the relevant documents to claim a safety deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name.

I went through his library collection and to my astonishment, I discovered a file containing the Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with this private security firm, and other documents relating to the safety deposit.

The safety deposit, which is in trunks containing the sum of $18,000,000.00 which was generated from cash payments from his business associates in diamond trade from Antwerp, Belgium. Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, I did not have the knowledge that he moved funds in cash. This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to have this funds tansfered back to south africa for invested immediately in commercial and residential properties as well as profitable ventures, hence we sincerely propose to you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard.

If you agree to render us your assistance, your role in this project will be to act on my behalf as a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the funds from the Security firm. However, I believe this transaction should be based on mutual benefit and interest.

For your reliable assistance, we are offering you 15% of the funds. I thank you in advance as we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, I will forward the documents with the contact information the Securities Company for immediate commencement of the transaction.

Whether or not you are interested in assisting us please let us know. This will enable us make alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.

With warm regards,

Mrs.Glory Zuma.

SOURCES OF THE FUND
My late father, chief John Richard Wilford, a native of Mende District in the northern province of Sierra-Leone, he was the general manager of Sierra-Leone
Mining Co-operation (S.L.M.C) Freetown. According to my father, this money was the income accrued from mining co-operation overdraft and minor sales.
Before the peace of the civil war between the rebel forces of Major Paul
Korormah and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal of the civilian elected president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah from power by the rebels.

My father had already made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Spain, with our personal effort and the box containing the money. My father deposited the box in a private security company here in Spain for the safe custody until after the war when he will join us. During the war in my country, and following the! Indiscriminate searching of the public and government properties by the rebels forces, the Sierra-Leone mining corporation. Was one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including other top government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels because of the relationship with the civilian president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.

As a result of my father's death, our hope of survival was shattered. The
untimely deaths caused my mother heart failure and other related complications of which she later died in hospital after we spent a lot of money on her. Now, my 16 years old sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans In The street,We dont even have a home,we only survive By the food given to us by the Cruz roja of spain,Meaning Red cross..
Our only hope now is in you and the box deposited in a Security Company.
To this effect, I humbly solicit for your assistance in the following ways.
To assist me claim this box from Security Company as co-beneficiary. To transfer this money in your name and to your country and to make good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country, and you will be the caretaker, and also to secure a college for my little sister and myself in your country to further our education. And to make arrangement for our traveling with you to your country after you have transferred this fund. Most importantly, the security company officials do not know the exact content of the box because it was declared as family valuables. The whole document issued after deposit is in my custody. For your assistance, I have conceded 45% of the money to your efforts assistance. Please reply at richard1wilford@yahoo.com

Dear Partner,

My name is Hurbert Duke a member of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP),Switzerland.

ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which haveremained dormant since World War II. It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the Swiss Bankers Association published a list of dormant accounts originally opened by non-Swiss citizens.

These accounts had been dormant since the end of World War II (May 9, 1945).Most belonged to Holocaust victims.The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of additional dormant accounts -54,000 in December, 1999. The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts,securities accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts.Numbered accounts are also included.

Interest is paid on accounts that were interest bearing when established. The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A dormant account of ORDNER ADELE with a credit balance of 45,000,000 US dollar plus accumulated interest was discovered by me.

Subject: Your Cooperation. (17-Sep-2005 23:47)
From: michaelowusu@tiscali.it
To: xxx@xxx.xxx

Greetings to you,

Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it seriousness. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.

My name is Mr. Michael Owusu, the present branch Manager of a bank here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.

I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in Kumasi who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $12,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER a German great industrialist and a resident of Munich, who unfortunately lost his life along with his entire families in the plane crash of CONCORDE AIRLINE [Flight AF4590 ] which crashed on 25TH JULY, 2000. You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site, which I got during my investigation;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.

The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner, meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.

I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to you. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed Under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of Law. If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details.

Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.

I wait your urgent response to My phone number is tel: +233 24 3581661 or email: michaelowusu@tiscali.it

Best Regards,

Michael Owusu

Lottery Scam Number 9889 or there abouts

These guys are churning these lottery mails at the rate of about 40 to 50 a week. That's what we receive anyway. More than likely it is more.

If you do the maths it looks like this:

40 e-mails x 1500 e-mail accounts = 60.000 recipients

minus 50% dead or blocked accounts leaves 30.000

Say 1% answer (It is more believe me!) = 3000

Of which 50% pay, let assume 800 Euros (Most pay more!) = 1.200.000 Euros!

This sum is weekly!

Now you know why these guys are doing this.

Norman says I should remember him

To tell the truth, this one is completely new. Sure, the story is old, but the characters are new. The names are a dream; "Sir Goethem Haemer" and "Dr. Norman Kenneth de Andrade". They sound like something out of a Frankenstein movie .....

Subject: HELLO MY FRIEND--DO U STILL REMEMBER ME???URGENTLY REPLY ME AS SOONEST AS POSSIBLE.. (18-Sep-2005 19:28)
From: normanken001@walla.com
To: xxx@xxx.xxx

My Dearest Friend,
Please permit me to address you as a friend with every believe and hope that you are indeed one after making a proper research and going through your profile which aroused my confidence to regard you as a competent person.

I am,Dr. Norman Kenneth de Andrade Barrister at law and attorney to late Goethem Haemer, a Greek Merchant otherwise known as my client who was based in the United Kingdom/SPAIN and died of complications from injuries sustained after a ghastly motor accident.

As the attorney to Sir Goethem Haemer I was his confidant as he shared with me virtually everything about himself, his business and family. I was his attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote his WILL and was also named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled. I am also aware due to my closeness to him that the amount of 18 Million Pounds he deposited with a bank was not willed out.

He only told me about this on his sick bed and even instructed that I should prepare a codicil to that effect, however before I could finish my work he had died.

After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of his will I went into action to ascertain the information passed unto me by my client which i eventually confirmed.

My investigation conformed to the information; at that point I knew I had to do something to move the funds out of the bank and knowing that I cannot do this alone I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to this effect.

It is necessary for us to move the money out of the bank now because if we do not do this within the next two years the bank would regard the money as sundry funds, which becomes as good as their own money,so what does anybody stand to gain by letting this offer pass by without utilising this one great opportunity of a life time.

I cannot move the money in my name because he was my client, for it could arouse suspicion thus the importance of your assistance. Have my assurance that there is nothing to fear about,as I also need your assurance that you would work with me without fear or favour to achieve our desired objective. The legal back up is no problem for I would be responsible to empower all my professional and expertise experience in realising this dream.

Since the codicil was not ready before his death, Letters of Administration without Will,would be secured from the probate office by my person on your behalf if you truly agree and give out your concept,with this document granting probate rights in your favour I would personally apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the funds to you.

What I require from you to enable us achieve the above are your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers. to be forworded to my personal email address; NORMANADKEN@YAHOO.CO.UK

Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would be worked out between us on the most liberal terms magnanimous terms.

Please be rest assured that my agitations are real and I shall equally furnish you with every of my detailed profile to help clarify your doubt if you accept my proposal,so please treat as urgent and confidential.

Take care and have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Norman Kenneth de Andrade
