Attn:

Sir / Madam,

I am MR Ahmed Oma, the Senior & Auditor General of
a Bank, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund
in an account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2003 nobody has
operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is a foreigner, a miner and an industrialist. He made millions of dollars before he died victoriously.

Since DEC 26 2003 website details as follow: no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it.

My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and that until his death he was the manager director of aluminium & steel industries (PTY). SA. We will start the transfer with the total sum involved [ Twenty Five Million USDollars [25.000.000.00 USD] only, into your account, as a safe foreigners bank account abroad, but I don't know any foreigner abroad that's why I have contacted you to bear the legal sole beneficiary of the fund.

I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this business proposition.

With my influence and the position in the bank, as an official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.

The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately you receive this fund leaving and they will be no trace to any place and to build confidence you can wrote immediately to discuss with me the modalities,after I will make this remittance in your presented account and fix my resign date, to fly down to your country at least 7 days ahead of the fund transferred and confirm into the account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 45% of the total amount, 50% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses might have incurred during the process of transferring. Reply to my private mail,

ahmedoma07@jmail.co.za

I am waiting for your reply.

Best

MR Ahmed Oma,

While doing this obviously takes more time for the scammer, it is likely more effective because of the personalization.

Subject: Attn: Aubrey Jones.

Good Day Aubrey Jones,

I crave your indulgence to kindly attend to this in good faith. I do not mean any disrespect approaching you through this medium. It is due to the time constrain of this matter.

My name is Steven Garrison,a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to
Mr.Quan Jones,a national of your country here in after referred to as my client. My client Mr.Quan and his family was involved in an unfortunate 21st April 2002 fatal auto crash along loftus road london in which people were burnt to death. he lost his life alone with his family.

My late client was an oil magnet working with Chevron Oil Plc United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Eight Million seven hundred thousand poundsonly (£8.7million) with a finance company.After the death of my client, the finance company contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. This according to them is their policy in sure circumstances. But Since his death I have made several Enquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my client's extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless effort in locating my late client close relative or his next of kin. The board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned fund.

The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after theexpiration of the period given to me.But after an investigation in the finance company, I found out that some membersof the company wants to divert this fund into their private accounts for their own interest and only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able to look for some one to make the claim, the money should be made unserviceable and that means submitting the fund to the federal government of this country and some to the company management which is not their main intentions.

I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client.This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing thesame surname and equally from the same country, so that the proceeds of This Bank Account valued at £8.7 Million pounds can be paid to you, before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.note that this is legal, and100% risk free since I have all vital documents that would be requested by them and that would confer you the legal right to make this claim.

I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable for his funds to be summated to the federal government of this country. My aim now is to retrieve this fund, and for this I seek your assistance. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name,sothat the proceeds of this account valued at £8.7 Million pounds can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, 60%to me and 40% to you.I know there might be other persons out there with the same last name as my late client. but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact you,can I trust you on this?will you be willing to assist me make this claim.I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documentsthat will be used to back up your claim.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by alternative email stevengarrison_esq@hotmail.com for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction. My phone number is :+44-70-3192-8458 if this proposal is acceptable by you; do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,I await your urgent response.

Subject: From George L. Savvides & Co



George L. Savvides & Co,
Omega Court,
1st, 2nd and 4th Floors,
4 Rigas Fereos Street,
Limassol 3720.

Dear Partner,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such.

Greeting to you, the inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I
Am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a
resourceful person to help me realize this project.

I am George L. Savvides, attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Jacob Smith
Johnson
, hereinafter referred to as my client' who worked as an independent oil
magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family on
the 4th
of Oct, 2003.

Since the death of my client in 4th of Oct, 2003, I have tried to
locate any of
his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned
personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.

More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of $12.2
million (USD).

My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. He left behind a large deposit in his
investment account in financial institution here upon his death the financial
institution contacted me as his attorney to provide them with a next of kin,
Extended family member or Foreign partner since the families he provided as
next of kin for the claim died with him in the crash leaving a vacuum to be
filled.

I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9, 2000.You will read more news about the crash on visiting these site;http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot irectly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an s istance to claim the funds and share it with me.
As the Auditing Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any oreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. I am seeking your operation to present you as the next of kin to the account.There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
