I AM BARRISTER CHISOM
A SOLICITOR AT LAW
CONTACT ME WITH THIS EMAIL
ADDRESS (chisom_2009@myway.com)
Dear Friend,
I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we have not
met before. I am Barrister Chisom, a solicitor at law, I am the personal
attorney to Engineer Edward. A, qa national of your
Country, who used to work with Mobil oil Nigeria plc. Hereinafter shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their children were
involved in a car accident along Kano - Sokoto express Road while arriving
from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State.
All occupant of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since then I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has been unsuccessful. I came across your name andcontact, while I was
searching for Edward's relations, since my search did not yield the desired
result, I had to contact you for this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the finance house where these funds were deposited. Particularly, the
finance house where the deceased has an account valued $USD18 Million
Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to provide the Next of Kin
or have the fund consignment confiscated,and this altimatum expires by next
month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceed of this deposit valued
at $USD18 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax. Please, find , picture of the funds as was taken by my
client before it was deposited at the bank, because he made the money in one
of the Oil deals he had with our Oil Minister.
Also is the family picture of Engr. Edward. This is just to proof to you
that my proposal is genuine. I also have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Get in touch with me through my
emailaddress(chisom_2009@myway.com) so that we can proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
Barrister Chisom

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA
Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde

Last week I had a mail, presumably from my bank, saying to update my online banking details. There was a link to a perfect copy of the bank website where I'd normally log in. I called the bank and they said they hadn't send that and would never send anything to my e-mail account anyway.
So, be very careful with those!

Just received this one today and thought of this thread. I'm not a christian but i remeber the Holy Church of The Order of The Red Breast from the 419eaters.com website.
Just wanted to see whether they or anyone wanted to take up the opportunity to receive 15 million dollars.....
DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs. Millicent Godwin
Beloved In Christ,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above name person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr Theophilus Godwin who worked with Sierra Leonian Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happilly. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is really against.
When my late husband was alive he secured $15Million (Fifteen Million
U.S.Dollars) with financial institution here in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians. I don?t want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS
14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial institution in Ivory coast. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Millicent

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial institution in Ivory coast. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Millicent

Big up the Red breast
Ive read the book from the site as I was given it for Christmas. Its brilliant!
Anyway, i got an email this morning informing me that I had won the South Africa 2010 World Cup.
The title of the email was: "YOU HAVE WON SOUTH AFRICA 2010 WORLD CUP SPONSORED BY CANADIAN EMAIL LOTTERY"
I reminded them that if they are going to attempt scam emails, at least have the brains to masks the originating IP address so I couldnt actually trace where the email had come from ( ). I told them that I had forwarded the email to the Met Police's advanced Fee fraud squad (it does exist). I also asked them what their mother would say if she knew they were doing this.
I dont expect a reply.

Found this on Facebook. Nice to use as a reply:
To Whom it may concern,
Whilst I am positively overwhelmed by your remarkable generosity in selecting me. out of all the rainbow coloured people of the world, as an associate with whom to share your wealth, I'm afraid I must decline. Tempting though it is to remove (insert financial amount) from (insert dictator/political system/medical condition) for (insert distant relative name), I am currently unable to support you in your endeavours. I trust, however, that should such an opportunity arise again, you will contact me forthwith.
Yours in immense gratitude,
Email recipient.

Hey Guy - that's awesome! although I am appalled that the assassins these days seem to be restricted in the use of good grammar - they seem to be missing the space bar on their super assassin computer! Little things like the inclusion of "whom" and then ruining it with the singular when a plural is called for etc.
It makes me sad for the modern world. I did however feel comforted by the "if you appreciate and love your existence" bit.

That's great. If their skills at assassination are anywhere near on par with their grammar, you should be alright. You'll hear them coming from a long way away and will probably try and introduce themselves to you and show you their cool guns. They might even let you hold one or two of their weapons before they spring to attack...
