My Dearest,
I am writing this mail to you With due respect trust and humanity, i appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read
through my letter i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business having gone through your remarkaable
profile, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and
sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a special reason why i decided
to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my situation, My name is Miss. Diana Kipkalya Kones,
25yrs old female and I from Kenya in Africa. My father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister
of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a
remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya .. The plane crashed on the Tuesday 10th, June, 2008.... You can read
more about the crash through the below (link removed) After the burial of my father, my stepmother and uncle
conspired and sold my father's property to an Italian Expertrate which the shared the money among themselves and
live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he have
deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina
Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the
Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instruction to the bank is that the money would only be
release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas... I am in
search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the
Bank for transfer of the money to his bank account overseas.
I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as
your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will
say that my mind convinced me that you may be the true person to help me.. Moreover, I will like to disclose much to
you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmothers have threatened to assinate me. The
amount is( $9.4 USD )Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank in Burkina Faso on my arrival,
You will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country. However, you will help
by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate
you with 40% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon
as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately.
In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this
transaction sincerely. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self for now until
the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am afraid of my wreaked
stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone ,I thank God Today that am out from my country
(KENYA) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited these money with my name as the next of Kin.. I have
the documents for the claims.
Yours Sincerely

Hi,
Hope you are doing good.
I am Jonathan Crawford from England, a legal solicitor practicing in the field of; business disputes and litigation, Will
and estate disputes, inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975 applications. I am contacting you
regarding my deceased client deposit amounting to four million us dollars currently in storage at a deposit vault here in
England. The deposit was made in the year 2005 and his unfortunate death transpired on August 8th 2007. After
proper identification of his body, I immediately notified the deposit firm and launched an investigation into possible
surviving family relatives to alert about the situation and receive the funds from the deposit firm. Till date, my search
has proved abortive.
According to the recent notice from the deposit storage vaults; failing to receive viable claims, they shall declare the
deposit unserviceable and remit to the government reserve thus, the portfolio would be out of reach. I have contacted
you in good faith as someone I can confide in to help receive these funds, acting as a close relative of my deceased
client. I shall prepare the necessary papers to this effect and also assist you till the funds are released to you as I am
not in a position to claim the funds, being the lawyer to the deceased hence; I need your assistance in this great
endeavour. Let's share this blessing together, as good fortune has placed you as a foreigner that has been planted
into the centre of relevance in my life. I have decided to apportion the funds in the following percentage; 30% for me,
40% for charitable deeds and 30% for you as well. Please affirm your willingness to work with me and provide your
direct phone and fax numbers.

abandoned sum of (US$ 22.5 Million Dollars)Twenty Two Million Five Hundred thousand United states Dollars,
deposited by a major supplier of Agricultural Equipments in West Africa named Mr.Christian Eich who die along with
his family on 31st July 2000 in Concorde Air Crash.
Through my investigation, I find out that he die along with his next of kin and the roll-over on the funds has also expire
because the bank law stimulates that after Twelve years where the next of kin did not appear for the claim funds, the
fund will transfer into bank treasury as unclaimed funds. In order to avert this negative development, I will like to seek
for your permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Christian Eich so that the fruits of this old man's
labour will not be use for financing government. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 40% for you and any expenses incurred in the course of the transaction will be made by both of us.
There is no risk involve in this project as my position in my bank and with the aid of my personal information I will be
provided to make you the legal beneficiary and the legality of this project will correspond with local and international
laws of inheritance.Upon your response, I shall then provide you with further information and modalities that will help
you understand the transaction.You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this project would be
most profitable for both parties because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Subject: Supply of Agricultural VETERINARY Medicine
Dearest One,
How is business? I hope you are doing quite well.
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your help in the context below. For this reason, I have belief that you
would be able to execute a business presently at hand for our mutual benefit.
I am Ms.Joyce Loveday.., I work with a Republic of Biafara based Private Veterinary firm "Vineyard &
Associates".I work as the corporate affairs Manager. I attended a business seminar held at Singapore in JULY. 2007.
At this seminar, I was introduced to one Mike Hill, the PRESIDENT / CEO,of TRUSTIN OIL AND GAS DRILLING
SERVICES UNITED KINGDOM AND ALSO THE OWNER OF MAC DOWELS FARMS ETS.
Mr.Hill (The CEO of MAC DOWELS FARMS ETS.) is an accomplished and widely known farmer in this part of the
region, He is a respected personality, who specializes in CATTLE AND GOAT farms, including various agricultural
products for export. He has farms in different countries of Europe in UK. But above all he is one of the greatest
suppliers of cattle, and dairy products. Realizing my profession, Mr.Hill, took me into confidence to inform me of the
amount of money he spends in purchasing of a particular Medicine ( very important medicine for his livestock). He let
me know that he buys quantities of 500-1000 cartons of this product at a time for $6000.00 per carton. And he was
curious to know if my organization could source a cheaper supplier of the same product for him?.
When I came back from the seminar,I discussed this business with my company's Director, who decided it would be
better if we handle the supply ourselves. We carried out research and discovered that we could obtain the same
product at an exact cheaper price of production in Asia at $3,000.00 per carton.
We immediately made a proposal to MAC DOWELS FARMS OWNER, to make supply to him at $5,800 per carton for
which he accepted.
For my involvement in this arrangement, my Director offered to give me a 30% of whatever profit realized on each
supply and I accepted. On the OCT, 2007, the first supply of 500 cartons were made to MAC DOWELS FARMS. My
Director at this juncture practically forgot our understanding. When I questioned him,he did not say anything than
further protest from me was threatened with a dismissal from his company. The business between him and Mr.Mike
Hill, has also ended in a bitter note as he led me to believe. Just recently I saw some mails from MAC DOWELS
FARMS to my Director. I was shocked to find out that two additional supplies have been made to MAC DOWELS
FARMS, and which I was not informed of.
This time Mr.Hill is requesting for a supply of 2000 cartons of the same product because of a suspected out break
among his livestock. He is also requesting for another supply meant for storing( 5,000 cartons), but 2000 cartons are
more urgently needed at the moment. I have contacted Mr.Hill and convinced him that I can arrange for an
International supplier who can supply the same product at $5,200 per carton and Mr.Hill, is awaiting further directive
from my foreign contact as he has suspended all dealings with my Director.
Sir,I want somebody who can handle this transaction even if it is not your field of business and because I am still
working for my Director I can not be able to handle this transaction myselve. If you can handle this project, please
contact me on my above e-mail, for more details on how to go about it. I contacted you because I need a foreign
partner who can honestly go into business with me and who will not give me the same treatment that I hard from my
Director.
I will like if you can supply this medicine and I will introduce you to the manufacturing company from where the
supplies will be made in your name . What I care for is the 30% profit after the transaction. This business could last
long if well negotiated and the Cow Medicine is free and acceptable by every
Government because it is ligal Agricultural Medicine. I expect your urgent reply,
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Ms.Joyce Loveday.

Note: The Anti-Spam Compliance Unit is aware of a scammer on Trade Me communicating with traders selling their vehicles. The "buyer" purports to be from Malaysia and, after an Interchange of emails, sends through PayPal instructions to the seller. The account holds the proceeds of the sale of the car plus shipping costs.
Before the buyer will release the funds, the seller is asked to pay the amount of the shipping costs to a shipping agent in Malaysia (rather than the buyer undertaking this part of the transaction). This indicates the scammer is engaging in fraudulent activity and may be using the seller to launder money. If you suspect you may be engaging with a suspicious trader, please contact the Trade Me security team.

that the proceeds of this account valued at $30million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, I have

Let me explain to you what it entails what is a mystery shopper? A mystery shopper is like being 007 at the mall.
Mystery shoppers must complete their assignments and go un-detected.
Mystery Shoppers receive assignments consisting of a variety of business types such as: restaurants, food chains,
automobile dealerships, retail stores, and more.
Businesses benefit from the services of a mystery shopper because they report their unbiased review from a
customer's standpoint.
This enables the business to identify problems that could result in a unhappy customer and loss of sales.
As you can see, mystery shoppers have a great responsibility and are paid accordingly.

CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT
TINUBU SQUARE , LAGOS NIGERIA .
Attn: Sir; PAYMENT NOTIFICATION/ FINAL ORDER:
This is to draw your attention that your fund is now ready for payment but we have dictated a lot of irregularity
involvements attached to your payment file.
(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your family to claim your fund on your behalf?
(2) Were you involve in a motor accident?
(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Baker from your country?
Please reconfirm and answer the above questions because one Mr. Thomas Baker came to our Foreign Payment
Department and submitted an application that you have authorized your fund to be paid into the account of Oceanic
Bank of Switzerland with Account number SW-A943BDG99. Then he said that the earlier submitted bank account
information¢s for your payment will not be further used as you are now paralyzed in the hospital as a result of the
ghastly motor accident you had last month.
Infect, after processing the application by Mr. Thomas Baker himself which he made known to us that he came from
you, he was anxiously ready to clear all the bank charges that you are supposed to pay so as to make sure that we
effect this transfer payment as quickly as possible without any further delay. All duplicate copies of his application
letter
and documents are attached to your files. Due to this reason, we have decided to make this contact and verification to
find out exactly what is the true position of Mr. Baker's representation.
The delay in the transfer is from us now just because we requested for a power of attorney from him which is an
authorization from you, for him to act on your behalf as regards to the pursue of this payment. He asked for a week so
as to submit the documents but up till now we have not receive any of the documents from any of you, why? So you
are requested to acknowledge this department on your readiness to receive your fund and forward to us a legal
authorization (power of attorney) for us to give the final payment instruction to credit your nominated bank account in
switzerland without further delay.
Thanks for your corporation.
Yours faithfully,

about the fund and the bank has asked me (as the account manager to the late customer)to find any relation of the
late customer for claim of the fund. But I know that the late Mr Jake died with all his immediate family during the
tragedy.This is why I have to conduct a search over the internet to see if I can get some one with similar names so that
I will present to the bank as the late customers next of kin. (message ended here)

It took me a lot of time to summon courage to email you. It is a fact that we have had any previous business dealings,

My name is Craig Jones, the Chief financial officer of New Zealand’s Oil & Gas Company Ltd. For proper

to be the first phase development of gas field discoveries first made by New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) in 1986.
The project was given the final go ahead to move into the construction phase in July 2006. However, a large amount
of design, assessment and pre-development work preceded this decision. For proper verification on this project visit
(hyperlink to the Kupe project removed)
I have access to very vital information that can be used to move a huge amount of money out of the project account to
a secured account. I have done my homework very well .I have the machineries in place to get it done since I am still
in active service. If it was possible for me to do it alone I would not
have bothered contacting you, ultimately I need an honest foreigner to play an important role in the completion of this
