Fraud email example:
From: "Heguangbe" <heguangvolr@fibertel.com.ar>
Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:07:55 -0200
Subject: Good Day
FROM: MR.He Guangbei
Bank of China ( Hong Kong )
Hong Kong .
Hello,
You might be apprehensive because you do not know me but I have a business
proposal of mutual
interest to share with you. Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.HE
Guangbei, Vice Chairman
and Chief Executive with overall responsibility for the business and
operations of Bank of China
( Hong Kong ) Limited ("BOCHK"). I have a Business suggestion for you.
In October, 2002, my late client Ghazi Musa Hassan, an Iraqi Crude oil
merchant made a numbered fixed
deposit of Thirty million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
(US$30,500,000.00) only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war
(U.S and Iraqi war), Five years
ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him.
We later found out that Ghazi Musa Hassan, and his family had been killed
during the war in a bomb
blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Ghazi Musa Hassan
did not declare any next of kin
in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit and he
also confided in me the last time
he was in my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
So, Thirty million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars are still lying in my bank and no one will
ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the
expiration six {6} years the funds
will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the next of kin
to Ghazi Musa Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have
an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up
as the next of kin to Ghazi
Musa Hassan, all that is required from you is to provide me with your Full
Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin,
the attorney will also fill in for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the
movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. We are
going to adopt a legalized
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents in your
favor.
There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking.
There is no risk involved at all in
this matter, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is
for you refusing to work with me and
alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good
fortune has blessed you with a
name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Please
endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been
transferred to your nominated
bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you but
this can be subjected to further
negotiations. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what
the consequences, but I know
within me that nothing ventured is gained and that success and riches never
come easy or on a platter of
gold. Please observe this instruction religiously.
Should you be interested please send me your,
1, Full Names,
2, Private Phone Number,
3, Current Residential Address,
And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below and
finally after that I shall furnish you
with more information’s about this operation. Your earliest response to
this letter through my private email
address: heguangbe@yahoo.com.hk will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. HE Guangbei.
