Subject: Emergency

Compliments of the season! I hope you are doing well. I don't really mean to inconvenient you right now but just letting you know that I had an urgent trip to Spain for a business-seminar. I'm passing through some financial problem due to my predicament here. I was mugged & attacked on my way back to the hotel.

Kindly observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that I'm fine and not hurt but I lost my money, cards & my mobile phone in the course of this attack. Can you please borrow me some money [2500euros] or any amount you can afford, I'll refund you back with interest upon my arrival. Let me know if you will be able to assist me with any amount, I can then forward you the transfer details. I don't yet have another mobile phone (still gathering my bearings and such), but you can contact me at my email anytime.

I’ll expect your response soon. Thanks so much,

Regards


Subject: I WAS PAID TO ELIMINATE YOU BY FRIEND.

Dear,

I felt very sorry and bad for you, that your life is going to end like this if you don't comply. I was paid to eliminate you and I have to do it within 10 days. Someone you call your friend wants you dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told us that he wants you dead and he provided us your names, photograph and other necessary information we needed about you. If you are in doubt with this I will send you your name and where you are residing in my next mail.

Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation, but I ordered them to stop for a while and not to strike immediately because I just felt something good and sympathetic about you. I decided to contact you first and know why somebody will want you dead by all means. Right now my men are monitoring you, their eyes are on you, and even the place you think is safer for you to hide might not be.

Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? It is up to you. Get back to me now if you are ready to enter deal with me, I mean life trade, who knows, and I might just spear your life, $5,000 is all you need to spend. You will first of all pay $2,000 then I will send the tape of the person that want you dead to you and when the tape gets to you, you will pay the remaining $3,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will have no choice but to carry on the assignment after all I have already being paid before now.

Warning: do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone because I will extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that somebody that want you dead know you too well and some members of your family as well. For your own good I will advise you not to go out once is 7pm until I make out time to see you and give you the tape of my discussion with the person who want you dead then you can use it to take any legal action. Good luck as I await your reply.

ABDULLAH AZZAM.

Subject: Mrs. Safia Gaddafi

Dear Beloved Barnett,

I am Safia Farkash, wife of embattled Libyan leader Colonel Mouammar Gaddafi, who is presently been embattled by the unfaithful opposition leaders in my country. Following the heat as a result of the crises in Libya against my husband, Col. Muommar Gaddafi, I have been able to escape to Republic Of Benin with my daughter to save our lives. I am desperately looking for a foreign reliable partner whom I can trust to handle some funds on our behalf. A deposit was made one time ago by my husband in one of the financial Companies here in Benin in my name.

The UN and the Western world have freezed most of our assets and funds bearing Gaddafi's name anywhere in the world Consequently, our status/position of the present state does not permit us to open an account or run any huge financial business at the moment, hence I contacted you to claim the funds. The necessary Legal documents will be changed to your name to enable the release of the funds to you by the fin. Company. Your assistance will enable us invest the funds in your country. But before we proceed, you will promise me that you will not betray or abscond with the funds when it eventually released to you. Last time the government moved to officially freeze the assets held by the Libyan regime in the UK following sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council

Find below the links where some of our assets were freezed.

I will furnish you with more info as soon as I hear your response indicating your interest to partner with me. At present I don't receive or make calls for security reason(s) as it is being monitored. All communication is based on internet.

Waiting for your prompt and positive response.

Thanks.
