My French is not that good, but even I can see this was translated with some sort of online translator. It's enough to see what this is about, but does not instill very much trust in the senders.

Cher,
Je suis Mme dimingos de bonita, de verd de cap. Je suis marié à défunt M. brams adam, pour qui a travaillé avec l'ambassade de verd de cap en Côte d'Ivoire vingt-six ans avant qu'il est mort en l'année 2005, après une brève maladie qui a duré pendant seulement cinq jours. Nous étions mariés pendant dix-huit années avec un duaghter (Tonia) qui plus tard est mort dans un accident de moteur.
Avant la mort prématurée de mon mari, nous étions tous deux encore nés chrétiens. Puisqu'après sa mort j'ai décidé de pas remarry ou ne pas obtenir un enfant en dehors de mon matrimonial maison contre laquelle la bible est. Quand mon défunt mari était vivant il a déposé la somme de (US$5.5M) (cinq Million de cinq cents mille dollars d'Etats-Unis) à une société de valeurs mobilières ici en Côte d'Ivoire d'Abidjan.

Récemment, suivant ma santé mauvaise, mon docteur m'a dit que je ne peux pas durer les huit mois suivants dus à mon problème de cancer. Celui qui me dérange est plus ma maladie de course. Après avoir su mon état j'ai décidé pour donner ces fonds à une organisation de Christain (Église) qui utilisera cet argent la manière que je suis allant instruire ci-dessus, selon le désir de mon défunt mari avant sa mort.

Je veux ces fonds pour être employé dans des activités de Christain comme, des écoles d'orphelinats, de Christain, et des églises pour propager le mot de Dieu et pour essayer que la maison de Dieu est maintenue. 

La bible nous a incités pour comprendre que « béni est remettre ce giveth ". J'ai pris cette décision parce qu'I n'avoir aucun enfant qui héritera de cet argent et mes parents de mari ne sont pas des chrétiens et je ne fais pas vouloir les efforts de mon mari d'être employé par des incroyants. Je ne veux pas une situation où cet argent sera employé d'une manière ungodly. C'est pourquoi je prends ceci décision.

Je n'ai pas peur de la mort par conséquent que je sais où je suis aller. Je sais que je vais être dans la poitrine de le seigneur. L'exode 14 CONTRE 14 indique que « le seigneur défendre ma  cause et je tiendrai ma paix ". Je n'ai besoin d'aucune communication de téléphone à cet égard en raison de ma santé par conséquent la présence des parents de mon mari autour de moi toujours. Je ne veux pas qu'ils sachent ce développement. Avec Dieu toutes les choses sont possibles.
Dès que je recevrai votre réponse je te donnerai le contact de la société de valeurs mobilières à Abidjan. Je  vous instruire également sur la façon dont vous entrez en contact avec la sécurité compagnie pour le retreival de la boîte de tronc cela contient l'argent. Je veux toi et l'église à prier toujours pour moi parce que le seigneur est mon shephard. Mon bonheur est que j'ai vécu une vie d'un digne Chrétien. Celui qui qui veut servir le seigneur doit le servir dans l'esprit et la vérité.  Veuillez être toujours pieux tout par votre vie. Me contacter sur cet email address :
(bonital_2000@yahoo.fr) n'importe quel retard dans votre réponse
me donner la pièce dans l'approvisonnement une église ou un homme différente de Dieu, dans ce même but.

USD ($12,500,000.00) left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.

That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management .


Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to .

Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon.

Thank and God bless.

Best regards,

Miss Sandrine Nzi.

May I laugh rather loud at this one?

These crooks are targeting people who have already lost money to 419 scams. The Nigerians are world champions when it comes to cheating people out of their money for bogus lottery prizes and abandoned money in accounts somewhere in Africa.

Now they want previous victims believe that they will finally get their money back. Of course they will only be cheated once again if they believe this rubbish.

Son intérêt c'est d'investi dans des sociétés de potentielles pour la croissance rapide en longs termes.
Si les bi lois de votre pays permettent l'investissement étranger.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name over the Internet to locate any member of his family or next of kin/relative.

A short note from Austin Williams

Remember the message from the Union Bank of Nigeria a couple of days ago?

Well this one uses the exact same text, but this time it's from Augustin Williams.

Most people would not understand what this one is about.

Good/Bad news from the Union Bank of Nigeria

This short note came in a couple of days ago. It's exactly clear who they are targeting with this one. I don't think they are trying to get the casual reader who has never heard of 419 or lost money in Africa.

To me, it looks as though they are trying to catch previous victims anew.

With this one they promise you a Toyota Prius with the money

Someone is trying to be original here. Up until now I have now seen any of the crooks trying to make their lottery prize more attractive by adding bonuses.

To be honest I wouldn't mind winning a Prius myself, but you can be sure there is no cash prize to had with this. So I won't be getting the car either.

IN FACT I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT BECAUSE OF MY POSITION IN THIS COUNTRY AS A CIVIL SERVANT, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AND WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYE BROW ON MY SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER BECAUSE I WORK IN THIS BANK. THIS IS THE ACTUAL REASON WHY IT WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE HE WILL NEED THE MONEY TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO ON HIS REQUEST AS IT MAY BE, AFTER DUE VERIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION TO DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT.

The plane crash which killed Andreas Schranner

This e-mail does not use Andreas Schranner as the main character, but it does use the Concorde crash in Paris as the background for this story.

If you check the original BBC News report about the Concorde crash you will note that Andreas Schranner is named there along with his daughter, son in law and grandchildren as having perished in the tragedy.

Of course, it's stories and reports like this, which make it easy for the crooks to fabricate wild stories about abandoned accounts just waiting for someone to claim them.

A dormant account in the UK

Dear Friend

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I would like to introduce myself, I am Williams Cole and I work with the staff in the accounts management section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.

One of our accounts is holding a balance of £15,000,000 (fifteen million British Pounds) and has been dormant for the past 3 years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner by name of Mr. Gerald Stone who died on the 4th of January 2002 in a planecrash in Birmingham here in the UK.

Since then no one has responded in anyway in regards to claiming the funds. As far as we can tell he has no family member who are aware of the existence of either the account or the funds. Information from the National Immigration Office also states that he was single on entry into the UK.

I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin. We will process these funds from the deceased and release them toyou, after due processes have been followed.

This transaction is totally risk free as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Think this over and should you be interested, please let me hear from you.

Regards,

MR WILLIAMS COLE

This is a great story. The Nigerian President wants to send me a ATM card so I can withdraw the money I have been promised.

Dr. Abdul is no more a special adviser to the president than I am! So the debit card loaded with money is just an empty promise.

This is better than lotto!

If someone said to you, "Here's 2 million Dollars. Do what you want with it." Would you accept? Chances are you would.

That's what these jokers are counting on.

Make no mistake though, it's just a Money Transfer Fraud scheme.

The international registered Foundation is named after over 5 top company owners put together. The charitable foundation was reported by the business newspaper, the Economist between the year 2000-2007 to be technically one of the world's wealthiest charity foundation- worth billions of USD($) - but its primary purpose is, by some, believed to be BRINGING INNOVATIONS IN HEALTH AND LEARNING TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.  George Soros is chairman of the foundation.
