Fraud email example:
From: "Ali Waheed" <aliwaheed25@hotmail.com>
Date: Sat, 02 Jul 2005 04:26:06 -0800
Subject: CHARITY.
From: Ali Waheed.
E-mail: aliwaheed@e-webmail.co.uk
My name is Ali Waheed, A Bahrain national I have been diagnosed with
Oesophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, 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 focused 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 when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live
my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a
few close friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul
so, 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, Somalia
and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, 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 leftfor them. The last of my money which no
one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen Million
dollars($18,000,000,00) that I have with a finance House abroad. I will
want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity
organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims
and another 10% for your effort and time.
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
Ali Waheed.
