Internet Email Scam's


Do to the large number of scam emails I receive I have placed all the ones I have not had the time respond to at this point but, I felt it necessary to put them up so that you could see them for what they are "SCAMS". I may respond to some of them at some point since they don't care how long it takes to respond. All they care about is trying to steal your money. The only reason they would not respond is if their email address has been canceled.

At first glance they stands out as a scam, but I do searches on them anyway.

HENRY OKUKU

RUE 25 MACCORY

ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.

WEST AFRICA


GOOD DAY DEAR

My name is henry okuku from Sierra Leonian. I am 22 years old and a student.


Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill me.My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last year when my father's associates began suspecting that my father is not givingn prope accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmersn in some villages. This mistrust deepens between Oct-Sept, 2003 when they discovered avery large some of money my father deposited with a Bank here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE (FORMALLY IVORY COAST in West Africa. As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisioned by his associates.

At his hospital bed ,he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit which he made on my name as the next of kin, being the only child. He advised me that in case he die, that I should not stay in this country Sierre Leone because his associates will equally kill me hence my mother had died five years ago of breast cancer.

He also instructed that if he dies, I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money out of this place (Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire), to his account and the person will help me to invest the money in that country. Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life.

My father finally died on the 5th of june,2004 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $5.000,000.(Five Million United States Dollars) that was deposited in a Commercial Bank by my late father, are with me now.


I will give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transferring it into your Account, for onward investment in your country.

Please contact me immediately with the above E-mail address and include your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all necessar documents asregards the money before they kill me. It is a risk free transaction.

I'm waiting for your urgent reply.

Best regards.

For this, you shall be considered to have executed a contract for the Department of Transport for which payment should be effected to you by Ministry, The contract sum of which shall run into US$15.5Million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars) of which your share shall be 10% if you agree to be our overseas agent.

As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transfered into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring some estates and setting up trust accounts abroad. For this too you shall also serve as our agent. In the light of the above, I would like you to forward to me the following information's:

From Mr Lawrence Mathe,

Cape Town South Africa

Tel: +27 83 987 9288.


Attn : Hello,

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.


Before I go further I will like to introduce myself, I am Mr Lawrence Mathe,a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Minerals $ Mining

First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you the other time for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep itas a top secret because of the nature of this transaction.

Within the Department of Minerals & Mining where I work as an Executive Accountant, I have in my possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty Eight Million U. S. Dollars ($28,000,000.00) which I want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on my behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, I am handicapped in the circumstances; as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.

This amount US$28Million represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount.

I have the authority to propose that should you be willing to assist me in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 35% of the US$28 million, 60%for me and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe and risk free, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed myconfidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above telephone or my e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want to assure you that I am in position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give me a very strong assurance and guarantee that my share will be secured and please remember to treat this matter as very confidential matter, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as am still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business.


I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation

Yours faithfully,

Mr Lawrence Mathe

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same surname or last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$20,000,000,00 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.I am willing to compensate you with 40% of the total funds while 50% will be for me to invest in your country while 10% will be for any expenses that may be incured between both parties during the process of transaction. I 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 achieve our goal. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law or interpol.So if you are interested, kindly get in touch with me at my private mail box (adams_rotimi1000@myway.com)

MRS.BINBO AHMED

Email:binbohmed@webmail.co.za

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

ATTN.THE PRESIDENT/CEO.


You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally, but for the purpose of introduction. I am MRS BINBO AHMED . the wife of MR.SULEMAN AHMED, an Iraqi citizen. I got your contact from the South African information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and I decided to write for assistance.

My late Husband was among the few Iraqis rich politicians murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president saddam Hussein for his alleged support and sympathy for our citizen of Iraq opposition party controlled by the president. Before the death of my husband, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS (US$20.5 MILLION),with the security and finance company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Iraq.

The money was deposited in a consignment as a family valuable use/precious stone to the Security Company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This money was embarked for the purpose of new machinery and for the campaigning for the parties in my country.

This problem arose when president GEORGE BUSH intended to invade the country Iraq which remove the former president saddam Hussein which affected rich people and some few foreigners vehemently condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the government, this resulted to rampant killings and mob actions by the war veterans and some political thugs. Precisely, more than hundred-thousand (100,000.00) people have been killed ever since the evention which my husband was a victim.

Heads of Government from the west, especially British and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of sadam hussein’s plan. Subsequently the South Africa Government community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported the Arab world.

It is against this background that I and my children who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my late Husband money into a foreign accounts, as the only Wife of my late husband, I am saddled with the responsibilities of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of Government who are technically freezing our family wealth .

We are faced with the dilemma of investing this amount in South Africa for fear of seizure and encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same history. Moreso, the South Africa foreign Exchange policy does not allow such investment since we are asylum seeker. As a businessman who we must entrust our future on his/her hands, I must let you know that this transaction is very free. Therefore, if you accept us we are willing to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 70% will be for my family investment in your country while 5% will be used for all expenses that you might beincurred during the process of the transaction. If this proposal is acceptable to you, contact my son (IDRIS AHMED)on [+27-735-509-840],


Email;idris_hmed@yahoo.com


but you should know that this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within yourself.


Waiting to hear from you soonest.


Best regards

MRS. BINBO AHMED

For the family.

PROF JIMROSE

WEST AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(WADB).

13 rue du Commerce,Lome,Togo.


Attn:Friend,

With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one apprehensive.


I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well that we have neither known nor met each other before, but because you and the late Mr.William Church MAYBE from the same country. Having searched through the internet,from where I got your email address, I hereby request that you become the Next of Kin to the late customer of our bank, Late Mr.William Church, who died in West Africa here and abandoned a fixed deposit of Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD $ 5.500.000.00), without a specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time of his death.(Maybe he did this because of the fact that he was into crude oil deals called)"Oil bunckering" here in west Africa.

My name is ................................ I am an accountant and the accounting officer to the Mr.William Church,in the West African Development Bank Lome Togo. In the financial Laws of the Federal Republic of Togo, the holding bank is required to repatriate any abandoned fund by a foreigner if nobody comes to claim the said funds after three (3) years of the confirmation of the death of the depositor.

For the past three years, all the effort of our Customer Service Department to trace any relative of the Late Mr.William Church, has proved abortive. I do not want this funds to go into the hands of our corrupt government officials, who have embezzled our national funds all these years.


My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:

(1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over to the corrupt government officials of our recent President Faure E.Nyanssibge.

(2) To make you the Next of Kin to the late Mr.William Church and whom he has willed the said deposit before his death.

(3) To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to you as your INHERITANCE.

(4) To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country in any viable area of investment.

Bear in mind that the entire transaction will be risk - free involvement from your side and legitimate since the funds will be coming to you as your INHERITANCE. If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP but if not acceptable by you, do not take advantage of it to betray me.

Remember that doing business over the Internet could sometimes be unconfidential. If acceptable by you, send me your private telephone and fax numbers for me to call you for detailed discussion.

God bless.

Dear Friend,


I am the AUDITIING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$14m(fourtheen million united states dollars).in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer(MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany)who died along with his entire family in Monday,31 July,2000, in a plane crash.FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT THIS SITE BELOW: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unlessn some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after fours years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of application .I will not fail to bring to your notice this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

GREETING.

How are you today? I hope you are in a very good state of health and pray that this mail will meet you in a sound state of mind. I will like to tell you little more about myself, this is very important because it will make you to have full knowledge of me, my family and my country. My name is Joyce Moris, i am a 27 yr. old pretty black woman from Sierra Leone and the second born in the family of two children from the same parents. My older brother died at a very tender age, leaving me as the only surviving child and daughter of my parents. My father is also dead,he died 3 years ago but my mother is still alive but she is sick and we are presently living in Lome the capital city of Togo.

I love meeting and making friends with people who are loving, open minded, caring,easy going,honest and understanding. Life being what it is, i love to live a very happy and peaceful life, i have come to a conclusion that the entire world is bedevilled by mostly people of moral decandence and this type of behaviour continue to make peace and happiness to elude many people, in my daily prayers i always ask God to lead me through to someone who can at least make me have a sense of belonging and peace of mind, after passing through hell in the war that ravaged my country all this past years.

My hobbies are travelling, reading christian literatures and magazines,singing,sight seeing and cooking. I know it will take more than email exchange to establish a lasting relationship between us. Hence, i have two major objectives. I have a very serious concerns at the moment, my late father have money deposited with a security company in Europe.

Beacuse of the nature and conditions of the deposit, we do not currently have access to the money until it is transferred into a normal bank account which we don't have now. My mother has being surffering from the injuries she sustained during the war, and because of our present status here at the moment we cannot run a commercial bank account with our name. My plans is to present you to the securuty company as my gardarn, whom i want the money to be transferred into your account.

I know God has destined our meeting, and i would like you to send me your photo through my private mailbox(babysharon_30@yahoo.ie}, i hope to hear from you as soon as possible and also please indicate if you can help us receive this money into your account. I will send my photo as soon as i receive your private mail address. Have a wonderful day, kiss.

My name is Stephen Ayling, I am the credit manager in a bank here in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you regarding a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION; I am the account officer of a foreigner named Richard Burson who died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD NEWS.

WEBSITE. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm .

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his beneficiary,because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife(May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand in as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds (US$5,000,000.00) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin, Because after seven years the money will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.

It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.


1.A Beneficiary name..In order for me to prepare the document for transfer of the funds in your name.

2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other.

Upon your acceptance I shall send you a copy of my international passport for more confidentiality and trust. I shall be compensating you with a million dollars ($1Million dollars) on final conclusion of this project for your assistance, while the balance $4 million dollars shall be for me for investment purposes. Because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail .

Dear Sir,

I am Miss Linda Maxwell, the only daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Miss Maxwell. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 25th.Febuary 2003. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been master minded by an uncle of his, who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 25 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Four million Five Hundrend thousand United State Dollar (USD$4.5m) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa.

He further told him that he deposited the money in my name, and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank. I am just 23 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I need an overseas account where I can transfer this fund and after the transaction I will come and live with you and I?m ready to do anything of your choice. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Nigeria. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life and I wished to invest under your care please.


I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in these regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

1. Can you honestly help me?

2. Can I completely trust you? . What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account while I finales my education? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.


Sincere regards,

Miss Linda Maxwell.

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this mean.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Kareem , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.

But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I have done on earth.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash(Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars) deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad.

I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it i Hassan Kareem that is making this donation.

I am writing this from my personal computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart.

I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish. and Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.

ATTENTION:SIR/MADAM


May I use this opportunity to introduce myself to you as Mrs. Victoria diego, I am the wife to late Mr Jonas diego, the leader of an Angolan revolutionary group know as the UNITA who died while on active duty in effort to liberate our people. I am contacting you with the believe that we will develop a cordial business relationship which will be beneficial to both parties. I am currently in possession of seventy five million United States dollars, which I intend to use for investment purposes specifically in your country.

The money came about as a result of my late husbands inability to proceed with the purchase of military hardware, which he contracted with South Africa Arms Company. Since the start of our civil war, the source of funds in prosecuting the war has been from the sells of diamond from the Angolan diamond rich area, which is under our control. My son is the secretary of state in mining under the leadership of my late husband. The diamonds were always exported to South Africa for sells and part the proceeds usually used in buying military hard wares from South Africa arms company. Upon the death of my husband, which led to cessation of hostilities, I traveled immediately to my late husbands private residence in South Africa and discovered the sum of seventy five million dollars cash hidden in his underground safe.

Due to my status as a refugee, I cannot invest these funds here in South Africa. I therefore seek your assistance in transferring this fund out of South Africa, all necessary arrangement have been prepared by me and I assure you that there is no risk attached to this transaction. Upon your acceptance I will give you detailed information and we will work out modalities for the success of this transaction. I promise to give you 15%of the total funds for your assistance and my family for investment in your country will use the remaining 85%.

I hope that this proposal will interest you and I await your immediate you can contact my son who is staying in Rome Italy as a refugee through this private phone no:00-873 763226325 and email:vicdiego@outgun.com, please I implore you to hold this transaction in utmost secrecy for its success.

22 BOTHA CRESCENT ,

SOUTH AFRICA,

+27-83-4848-456, mobile.


ATTN: Sir, Madam

I am mr, Paul Kuma Bank Manager of {ABSA BANK}, AMAGATMATED BANKS SOUTH AFRICA.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. I do foresee the surprise this letter will bring to you as it comes from a stranger. But be rest assured as it come with best of intentions. However, your address was courtesy of a business journal at the World trade Center in Johannesburg. But after due consideration from your profile, I became aware and assured of your credibility of handling this trust and my future. Thus, after my humble decision to solicit your understanding and co-operation in this transaction, as it will be beneficial to all of us involved.

On June 6 1999, an American Business consultant/contractor with the South Africa Gold Minner Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time(Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,South Africa Gold Minner Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has come forward to claim it. According to the South Africa Law, at the expiration of 6{Six} years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old man’s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple;

1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.

2)We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

3)A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will thenfacilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin of Mr. Barry Kelly. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you,while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.


NB; PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THIS DEAL CONFIDENTAIL BECAUSE I AM STILL WORKING IN THE SAME BANK , SO I WILL NOT LIKE TO LOSE MY JOB.

Awaiting your urgent reply.


Thanks and regards,

MR, PAUL KUMA .[ absa bank manager].

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London, England. I am married to Dr. Richard K.Williamson who worked with British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of £7.5 Million (Seven Million and Five Hundred Thousand pounds) with one Finance House and Presently, this money is still with the Finance House. Recently, I found out that I had cancer, which my doctors said that I am still lucky to be leaving. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universe.

I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. 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 Almighty. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance House. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived alife worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to specification herein.


Hoping to hear from you.

Thank you and May the Almighty bless you.

Anna williamson.

Raas Al Salmiya 24757 Street

Togo.


Dear Sir/Madam,


Greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As you read this, I would not want you to feel sorry for me because I believe everyone will die someday. I am Mrs.Mary O. Kazeem Khalid, the widow of Kazeem Khalid, Kuwait citizen who worked with the Foreign Mission of the Royal Embassy of Kuwait. For your refernce his last posting was Ivory Coast until his death in June 2002. We were originally both Muslims.

Currently, I am down with ill health, having suffered major strokes in 2003 and now diagonised with Esophageal cancer. My doctor said that I may not live for more than six months. My difficult condition has brought me close to the christian faith. I am now baptised and born again having recieved Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour.

I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members.I have also distributed money to some maney charity organisation in the U.A.E, Algeria, Malaysia and Germany.

I asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money to charity organisation in Bulgaria and Canada, because my health has deteriorated so badly that I cannot make any trip and do the transaction myself anymore, they refused and kept the money for themself. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them.

Before the death of my husband in June 2002, we had deposited the sum of US$12.6M (Twelve million six hundred thousand US Dollars) with a Finance Security company in Europe. The money is still with the security company desposited as family treasure.I have all the documents of the transaction.

It is my sincere wish to donate these fund to a any charity organisation or individual who will utilize it very well.I am taking this decision in good faith as this is the least gesture I can give to the Glory of God. I and Kazeem are childless and I am not certain that my family members being moslems will grant my wish to utilize this fund for charity organisation..

Therefore, I would need your mutual assistance to collect this money and give it to any charity organisation in your country. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.

You may not need to contact me on telephone as our telephone conversation may not be secured as my family members are always round me in my bed.I want to keep this donation private from my moslem family beliving God, you will be able to secure this fund before I breath my last.

If you are a Church or an individual and you can handle this I will provide you with the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you with a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of the fund. I will want the transfer completed while I am still breathing and alife I am delighted that I received Christ and I am saved by His Precious Blood.

Please know it that any delay in your reply will give me room to source for another Man of God for the same purpose.

You can reach me on my email:(mary_onu2@yahoo.co.uk)


Bless you and best regards

Mrs.Mary O. Kazeem Khalid.

FROM: DAVID COLEMAN,

ASYLUM SEEKERS CENTER,

HEERENVEEN,

NEDERLANDS.


I am Mr David Coleman the eldest son of Chief Michael Coleman from Liberia presently in Netherlands. My father was killed three years ago (2002) in the war in Liberia including my only brother.

During the war in my country and following the indiscriminate looting of Public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Liberian mining co-operation was one of the target looted and it was destroyed. My late father was a top official with Liberian Mining co-operation, he was among six other top Government functionaries that were attacked and killed by the rebels because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Charles Taylor.

I and my two sisters relocated to Ivory Coast with my mother to stay with the only surviving relative of the family to secure ourselves until October last year 2003 I and my two sisters relocate to Nederland seeking asylum here, we lost our mother after a brief illness in Ivory Coast.

Since our arrival in Nederland, I have been searching for a liable person who can help us secure my father's wealth deposited in Europe in a security out fit.


I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of Eighteen million U.S Dollars ($18,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security trust firm in Europe, the money is in trunk boxes deposited and declared as Precious stones by my late father as a matter of fact the company does not know the content as money, although my Father made them to understand that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.

Source of the money: My late Father Chief Michael Coleman is a native of Kru tribe in the Northern province of Liberia, was the General Manager of Liberia Mining co-operation (L.M.C.) Monrovia. According to my Father this money was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation’s over draft and minor sales of Diamonds and Gold. My Father was ready to go to Europe to clear the goods before he met his on timely death. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces and the Government forces demanding forceful removal from power of the civilian President Charles Taylor by the rebels.

My Father had already made arrangement for his family to be evacuated to Ivory Coast with the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT AND THE AGREEMENT OF DEPOSIT he made with the security firm in Europe. As a result of my fathers death and with the information we got that the rebels are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled with the ill health of my mother she died in the process as I could not afford her a decent medical care. The unrest in Ivory Coast and the threat from the rebels against our lives, made us to be evacuated to Nederland last year October 2003 where I and my two sisters are seeking political asylum, we are at present in an asylum camp in a small village in Nederland(HOLLAND).

Our only hope now is in you and the boxes deposited in the Security Firm To this effect, humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.

1). To assist me claim this boxes from the security Firm as our foreign partner,

2). To transfer this money (USD$18Million) in your name to your country,

3). To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country and you, our Adviser/ Manager. For your assistance, I have decided that 20% of the total amount will be for your effort and another 5 % to cover all the expenses that may incur during the business transaction.

Whether or not you are interested in assisting us. This will enable us make alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.

Lastly, I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential as no one knows our where about. Please as you show your willingness, forward to me your full name, address and Tel/ Fax numbers, to me via my private email, and I will get back to you immediately with more information's and subsequently send you the necessary documents needed in this transaction.

Please reply to davidcoleman555@yahoo.it

Disclaimer's :

     All the poems and stories in my site were written with the hope that they would stir the reader's emotions. I wrote most of them from my own life's experiences and those of the people I have met through out my life. The others I wrote simply from an over active imagination.

     They are not meant to portray my emotional state or that of anyone person, but rather the possible emotional state of most people at sometime in their life.

     Although some deal with what some people would call fantasy. The ones about Dragon's (who's to say there were no Dragon's once or that they may still be around), even they can stir up ones emotions.

DragonMay's Lairs History
and updates.

For more current updates visit My Lairs Web Journal's. The links are at the bottom of all my pages.

I started building my Lair back in late 1996 when I was with AOL. In 2001 I left AOL and moved my lair to its current home.

It was originally created using Allaire's - HomeSite 3.0, then Homesite 4.0, and as of Feb. 6th, 2005 I started using HTML-Kit Version 1.0 (Build 292).

Also on Feb. 6th, 2005 I began updating DragonMay's Lair from HTML code to CSS code, and I finished it on March 7th, 2007.

On Monday, Sep 26th, 2005 I started adding my Rail Way Station to my site. Due to some small bugs which were quickly worked out as we came across them, and my work schedule I finely got it up and running with 4 (four) different internet "Rail Way" trains running in and out of it on Saturday, Oct 8th, 2005.

I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.

You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.

There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.

For Best Viewing:

My Lair is best viewed at screen resolution 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch or larger monitor or 800 x 600 with a smaller monitor.

It is best when viewed on Internet Explorer Version 6.0
