Subject: Dear Beloved In The Lord,
Dear Beloved In The Lord,
My Christian Greetings to you beloved, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who make it possible for me to be in contact
with you these day to his glory, the LORD is the Arthur and the finisher of our faith. My name is (Mrs Susan Agali) from the
United Kingdom .
I was married to (Dr. Frankly Agali DON), he passed on to death on 28th November 2006. until his death he served as an
archdeacon in the St.Micheal's Archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for 14 years. We were married for 33 years without any child.
His death occurred after a brief illness that lasted for only four days, he was my whole life and everything I lived and cared
for, but that was how God wanted it, may his soul be in the hands of the LORD.
Before his death We loved each other so much after all those childless years, he was very supportive in everyway. Since
his death I decided i feels like i have lost part of myself till these day.
When my late husband was alive he DEPOSITED the sum of $6Million U.S. Dollars in A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY
IN ONE TRUNK BOX This box was deposited as containing family valuables , That the security company does not know
the exact content of the box . HERE in Abidjan the Commercial Capital of Cote D'Ivoire for Establishment and
Development of Charity Organisation but death could not allow him to see the vision ALIFE. I am in need of a HONEST
Hearted Individual Christian or Church that i will OFFER this funds:
(FOR THE ESTABLISMENT OF ORPHANAGE HOME, FOOD PANTRIES, CLOTHES BANK FOR DISTRIBUTIONS FOR
THE POOR OF THE POOR IN THE WORLD).
Just Some Few Months Ago, Medical Medicine and Doctors confirmed to me that I have a serious illness which is Stroke
with my left side which does not allow me to move freely and my present health situation is in a very ritical shape, i don't
know what might happen to me in the next few days or weeks ahead that is the reason why i want to take this BOLD
DECISION.
Having known my present health condition I decided to make the donation of this funds to any (churches) or individuals
who can in real honesty will utilize this Funds the way I stated herein for the USAGE and the who i will handle all the
Related Legal Documents covering Funds to made the claim on my behalf.
My Bible made me to understand that's lessed is the hand that giveth's This decision was taken because I didn't have any
child that will inherit this funds and my husband relatives are not Christians, and greedy people, They wouldn't want me
and my late husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers and greedy individuals for non profit. i do not want a situation
where this Funds will be in the hand of ungodly persons.
This is why I am taking this BOLD DECISION. If the funds are withdrawn ASAP it will Go to My WISH which i have stated
above and that was the agreement i had with my husband before he passed on.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14
VS 14 says that's he lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace· I may not need any telephone communication
because of my present health situation hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want any
of them to know about contacting you for this donation.
With God all things are possible, for that i know. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you my doctor's contact who will
forward you the security company contact so that you can contact the security company on how they will cliam out the
money and transfer the money to anywhere you want, and other important information,s I need you with the whole of your
congregation members to always pray for me because the lord will protect me Ps 121. My happiness is that I have lived a
worthy Christian life.
Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth, always be prayerful all through your life.
Dearly Beloved in Christ Please, i will want you to know any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another
church or individual for this same purpose.
Please kindly assure me that you will act accordingly as I have Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply soonest.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the name
of the Lord.
Your's in Christ.

Note: A number of reports have been sent through that are variations of this scam - the common thread being a tax refund of $234.00. In some cases the sender's email address has been spoofed - if the domain doesn't relate to the email but the organisation is legitimate (i.e. if the email is from say, info@dia.govt.nz and the content of the email relates to a tax refund) then it is probable that the address has been spoofed and the 'owner' of the address has not been a party to sending the message. NZ Tax Refunds have a statement on their website about this scam.

The reporter of this scam contacted the Maris office in the United States directly to query the legitimacy of the communications and the email address 'marisfreightforwarding @ yahoo.com'. He received the following response:
Subject: Re: Shipping Quote investigation
Definately looks like some kind of scam - while we have representation in N.Z., the Czech Republic and the U.K., we have
no yahoo address or requirement for Western Union. The author is obviously not a native English speaker. Seems like a
variation on the "Nigerian scam".
Please let us know how it plays out, and if there's anything we can do to help.
Best regards,

Hello.
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of
causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Kamil Muhanna, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have
been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my
health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical
experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I
am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only
thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the
money in the world. I believe if i have a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I
have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate
and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to
some charity organizations in the U.A.E, England and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I
have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash
that I deposit in a bank in England Uk.
I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Kamil
Muhanna that is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed in England
where I wait for my time to come. If you are interested to help me i will give you more information about this like the
amount that i deposited in the bank and Contact of the bank so you can contact them. I will also send you pictures of my
self when in the hospital.
Note that you will take 20% out of the funds and give 80% to the charity organizations. I pray that God uses you to support
and assist me with good heart God be with you.
If you can help respond back to me on my private email: (link removed)

Dear Friend,
I just want to inform you that I have deposited your ATM MASTER CARD of USD $800,000,00 United state dollars to the
UPS Delivery services here in West Africa, due to I have waited enough to hear from you so that your funds will be
transferred through CENTRAL BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) here, but because of the late response I now decide to deposit
the ATM MASTER CARD with the UPS DELIVERY SERVICES with your previous information as you listed it that time.
I have paid to them their delivery charges & insurance coverage fee, the only fee to be paid again is their security safe
keeping fee of $110 dollars only.I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact
them and in case of demurrage.
I will be traveling to IRAQ to see my boss and I will not come back till next four months, therefore I will advise you to
contact the UPS SHIPMENT officer with his contact information as listed below for the avoidance of increase of their
security safe keeping fee.
Note that I packaged the ATM MASTER CARD inside a magazine where nobody will notice the content, I also told the
shipment officer Mr.James Walter, that it is ordinary African magazine I want to deliver to my friend abroad to avoid further
delay unless you delay to send their security safe keeping fee.
Below is the shipment officer contact information including his email address with the parcel reference number, note that
without you indicating your parcel number as listed below the UPS delivery services will not listen to you they will be
imagining if you want to steal another persons parcel.
Attention: Mr.James Walter
UPS Courier Company Dispatch Officer
Email Address: (link removed)
Telephone: +234-8072-789-860
Shipment Code: CPEL/OWN/9876
Parcel Number: EG2272-NIG
Also below is the information they need to deliver the ATM MASTER CARD in form of African Magazine to your address,
this is to avoid wrong delivery as I already gave them your delivery address but you have to re-confirm it to them ok.
Full name......................
Home address............
Country....................
Telephone...............
Please make sure the information is complete as they promised that once they receive their security safe keeping fee
within 2 to 3 working days the magazine will arrived your door step according to the shipment officer.
Once again, the UPS delivery services do not know the content of the parcel, I registered it as an African magazine they
don't know it contains ATM MASTER CARD inside, this is to avoid them delaying the delivery and besides I don't want you
to lose your inheritance funds.
Your ATM MASTER CARD withdrawing access pin code number is (1148) take note, once you receive the card you take
it to any cash point around your area, slot it in and enter the pin code for withdrawal, the amount you are to withdrew per
day is USD$20,000.00. (Twenty thousand United State dollars) each day.
Also ask them on how you are to make the payment for the security fee to them so they can effect immediate delivery on
your parcel.
Remain blessed and enjoy your funds.
Thanks.
Mr.Michael Winston

Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU??
Hello (name removed)
I thank you immensely for your response to the mail i sent to you and will surely buy the property.My name is Jonathan
Morte,A master Captain of The U.S. Army, deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the war in 2003, I have a business proposal
for you that will be of immense benefit to us.
I have in my possession the sum of $25.750.000 which was recovered from one of our raids on terrorists here in Iraq.
Which they normally get through illegal deals on crude oil. I deposited this money with a Red Cross agent informing him
that we are making contact for the real owner of the money; it is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for this
money. I cannot move this money to Britain as i intend to invest out of England and i am a uniformed man so I need
someone I could deal with. I chose your company because of its versatility as read over the EU website and because i
need somebody i can trust and it would be wise working with somebody like you. If you accept, I will transfer the money to
Europe where you will be the beneficiary because I am a uniformed person and I cannot be parading such an amount so I
need to present someone as the beneficiary.
If you are interested please let me know and also send me your personal mobile number so I can call you for further
inquiries when I am out of our military base, if no response after 3days I will then search for someone else. I am doing this
on trust and i pray you are not the bad type. $25.750.000 is a lot of money. I wait for your response so we can go on. In
less than 7days the money should have been delivered to you and I will come over for my money. I will give you 30% of
the sum and 70% of the sum will be for me. I come to you with trust and sincerity of purpose.
Best Regards
Captain Jonathan Morte

REPLY ME BACK WITH THIS EMAIL ID. (link removed)
It's my profound pleasure to contact you, knowing and believing God you will give my family and I every consideration. I
need you to read this mail attentively to know the reason and purpose why i have contacted but before i go further i would
like to introduce myself to you.
My name is Beatriz Yusi, The wife of Albert Yusi who was coordinator of Bayan Muna for Misamis Oriental and Chairman
of MOFA. He was gunned down and killed in our home in the Philippine on July 20th, 2008. As i am writing you this letter
my children and I are constantly on the run from the assassinators of my husband. We can’t live as normal farmers inside
the hacienda. At night we sleep in different houses, we can’t sleep well.
Before my late husband was killed, I inherited from his estate a total sum of ($9.5 Million Dollars) Nine Million five Hundred
Thousand Dollars Which was made from the last cocoa business import we made together, this money which my late
husband put in a metallic trunk box and deposited it in a security and finance company ABROAD. This deposit was coded
under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.
This means that the security company does not know the content of this trunk box. My main purpose of sending you this
mail is because of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the box of money to any
address that you think is very secure and save in your country. I hope that you can be trusted, that you will not sit on this
money when you claim it. I have made up my mind to give you 15% of the total money for your help, after you have
secured the box for my children's future.
I can be contacted with my most private email address: (link removed)
Hoping to hear from you soon, Best regards
Beatriz Yusi.

Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any
knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the fund I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the
bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with.
My proposition to you, is to seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin and beneficiary of this late client, so that
the proceeds of this account valued a huge sum shall be paid to you, and then we can share the amount on a mutually
agreed percentage of 30% for you, While 60% for me and others involved, 10% shall be used for expenses while the
remainder shall be given to a reputable charity home because the money is owned by a deceased person This transaction
is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money Laundry, terrorism or
any other illegal act, funds will be released to you after necessary processes have been followed.
Let me hear from you as soon as you get this message, so we can proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
