Fraud email example:
From: mattew lawson <magnus_victor2810@yahoo.com>
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 13:06:05 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Highly Confidential.
Pls consider this proposal and get in touch with me as soon as
possible.
I am Barr.Matthew, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney to Mr Robert Chapman, the African Area
Director of SIL Int'l, who unfortunately died in the crash of Kenya
AirwaysI
Flight 431 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Jan.30th 2000.
Chapman hailed from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Since the death of Chapman, I as the personal attorney have made
several enquiries to locate his only surviving relation, without any
success.
I came across your contact in the cause of my personal search for
Chapman's relations, so I decided to inform you about this project. I
am
contacting you to assist me in repatriating and securing the wealth
left
behind by Robert in fixed deposit account, before they get
confisticated or declared unserviceable by Union Bank Nigeria PLC
where my
client operates an account worths $USD2.5M.
The Board of Union Bank PLC has issued me a notice that after 2months
from now and no Next Of-Kin shown up for the claiming of the said
funds,the funds will be confisticated and declared unserviceable.
Since I
and my team have been unsuccessful in locating Robert's relatives for
sometime now, it is on this note that I seek your consent to present
you
as the Next-Of-Kin 0f the deceased since you are a foriegner, so that
the proceeds of this deposit valued at $USD2.5M can be released to you
for our disbursement. I and my team have agreed to negotiate the
sharing ration with you at the reply of this mail.
All requires your honest co operation to enable us see this business
successful, so I want you to forward to me in your reply, your full
names,address,age,occupation, phone and fax numbers that i will use to
reach you. The informations you are to send will be used to procure
all
the legal documents to present your name to the bank as the
Next-Of-Kin
to my late client. I guarantee that this business will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any breach
of
the law.
Robert was a nice person and it is not wise for me to allow his hard
earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of Union Bank PLC.
Further details awaits your response by email.
You can reply through my private email address
lawson2810@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
Lawson.
