Email scams
Some how my email got out to these scams that I'm guessing are related. I was wondering if anyone else has been getting them. Here are 2 samples.
Quote:
Dear Friend,
I got your address via the internet. I have a proposal for you - this
however
is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against
your
will.
I am 49, and work with a bank (one of the African leading banks in the
West
Coast). Here in this bank existed a dormant account for the past 8
years
which belong to a Lebaon national who is now late.
When we discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from
this account for this long period, I and my two other colleagues
decided
to out a system
investigation and discovered that non of the family member nor
relations
of the late Lebarnies is aware of this account.
This is the story in a nutshell. Now we want an account overseas where
we
can transfer this funds. There after, we had planned to destroy all
related
documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past
eleven
months we have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free opperation.
The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
interest
the balance in this account stands at-(US$ 10.5 million US dollars).
Now our questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can we give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission?
Consider this and get back at us as soon as possible.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained
herein
be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it
deserves.
We Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.
Respectfully yours,
Ahmed Kokou.

Unclaimed Inheritance fund/Relative(Keys)
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Keys,
I am Barrister John Great an advocate and Solicitor. I am the Personal
Attorney to Mr. Fredrick Keys a foreigner,who used to work with
European
Development Company in Nigeria.On The 21st of April 2001, my client
his
wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along
Sagbama
Express Road.All ccupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if i
can
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has all the while
roved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
trace
his relatives (i.e. same surname) over the Internet, to locate any
member
of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind
by
my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank
where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased
had an account valued at about 15.5 million dollars has issued me a
notice
to provide the next of kin to the deceased or have the account
confiscated
within the next twenty one official working days. Since i have been
unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are still a
foreigner,
so that the proceeds of this accounvalued at $15.5million USD can be
paid
to you and then you and me can share the money, 60% to me and 35% to
you,
while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claimwe
may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
