Fraud email example:
From: Annan Mike <annanmic1@email-me.cc>
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 09:23:23 +0100
Subject: FROM OUR BANK, PLEASE VERY CONFIDENTIAL !!
From; Mr. Michael Annan
International Commercial Bank,
Accra-Ghana.
Dear Friend,
I wish this very information will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mr. Michael
Annan, with accounts department, International Commercial Bank with regional
office in Accra-Republic of Ghana. We had a foreign client and a businessman by
profession, (Mr. Gerald Welsh) who deposited the sum of US$7.5million (Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with our bank.
Unfortunately, this our client was among the victims of Egypt Air Flight 990 that
crashed on the 31-10-1999 in USA. Confirmable from the website;
http://www.cbc.ca/story/news/?/news/1999/11/01/passengers991101
http://www.cnn.com/US/9910/31/egyptair.03/
But, since that year after the death of our client, we have not had anybody that
comes for the claim of this money as the second next of kin to our client, since
his wife whom he made the next of kin was also involved in the accident and dead
too. A situation I have monitored closely with my position in our bank.
Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before and after
his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the second next of kin for the past
years now, I have removed the file to my "private vault". I now humbly solicit
for your assistance in this issue. I wish to present you as the second next of
kin to this our client so as to claim out this money, before it is remitted into
the federal account where other people may as well claim it directly without
going to this length. This does not have any risk provided you give me your
assistance and support.
I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I will
furnish you with the full details and what to do concerning this deal. What you
stand to gain would be discussed and it is negotiable before the deal commences.
Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response to my request stating your wish
in this deal.
Kind regards,
Mr. Michael Annan.
