FROM THE DESK OF MRS HELEN ZONGO
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
THE AFRICAN BANK (T A B)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO

MY DEAR,

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of The African Bank. I saw your contacts in INTERNET SEARCH,After much consideration i decided to write you since I cannot be able to see you face to face at first. I will like you to take your time to read this mail
carefully. I did not mean to embarrasse you with my business proposal but I seriously need your assistance. Please this is a confidential matter and it requires urgency.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$12.5m dollars (Twelve million five hundred thousand USD) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 1998 in a plane crash.

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 unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlines 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, 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 I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidine here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Seven years, the money will be tranfered into the bank as unclaimed bill
I therefore agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 50% would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin to 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.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that 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. You should contact me immediately as soon as you recieve this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.for security reasons reply with jeni_zongo@yahoo.ca
Yours faithfully,
Mrs HELEN ZONGO

HA. AHAHAHHA.

[silver-rain]

Yeah, I get them. But they're scams and I don't pay any attention to it.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

I get those a lot. One was from a man in Italy who was looking for a rich, young, matured woman to marry him who had several houses and lived a luxurious life. He said he was tan dark tall and handsome and a buncha stuff.

[sw33t_rouge]

reatrded people trying to steal your money it is soooo "old " u beetches try something newer

[ecargnmyst]

i get em too

[*mona lisa*]

I get them all the time and find them in my Spam box. But technically, you shouldn't be opening them if it isn't from anyone you know and looks suspicious. There's a huge virus threat going on right now that can delete important files from your computer. Saw it on the news today.

[ecargnmyst]

such a stupid thing too..now that i actuallt tried to skim it..its soo obvious is fake..b/c there is no reason why she would pick "you" the recipient...out of alll ppl...when shes never met u..and just BLUNTLY ask for ur account #...psh..i hope no one actually falls for that tho..O.o

[sprezzatura]

I smiled as I read the email. Anyways I don't think I have received one of these or either I have deleted before reading them.

[fameONE]

NIGERIAN CASH SCAM!

Don't reply to them.

I entertained a guy once and actually gave him my number (I have international calling on my phone). The more you object with doing what he wants to do, the more they persist.

The con artists even try to prey on 'good people' or religious groups by claiming they are of faith and you'd be doing a good deed by helping them move XXX million dollars.

Eventually, they'll begin to ask for fees or payments of what starts out as 50 bucks and can possibly rise to nearly a thousand. And you're left broke. I was all for it until the guy asked me for money. Then I told him that his emails and calls were being monitored by the FBI.

No more emails. No more calls.

My advice, mark them all as spam and shrug it off.

[jnukes]

i get emails telling me that i won lotteries and i need to claim my prize







i never entered into any lotteries

[Retrogressive]

They had a special on this on 20/20 or something. People (old people mostly) usually fall for them.

[*liquidize*]

yeah they're scams, i watched tv and theres a million scams like that, and they'll ask you for a small amount of money so they can get it there or something and then, ask to meet you and jack you and disappear!

[starlette]

I got a guy to send me a check once. He claimed he was an african supermodel and wanted to help me with my career because he was in love with me and wanted me to work with him. He claimed to have won a 6 million dollar contract that forced him to leave the country to go to africa. He said he was from like, pennsylvania or something. But I would say common things about like new york or major cities, LA and he would no idea what I was tlaking about. He sent me a cashiers check for $5,000 and I called the back it was issued from who said it was a fake (duh) and then I got to talk to the fbi and give them all the info. It was really exctiting.

[WHOngos144]

Haha, I got that same one. I just clicked 'delete forever' without even reading it. SPAM.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I get those all the time. Here's my thing. If I don't recognize who the e-mail is from in the subject or contact info, then I delete it before even thinking of opening it.

[Teesa]

Huh..that's interesting, but yeah, they're obviously scams. I've never received them, I don't think. I usually just delete stuff that I get from people I don't know.

[*incoherent*]

yeah, there are many variations. ive gotten them before, but didnt do anything.

[AnnahhbeL]

yeh. i got those before. theyre so annoying. i never respond to them.

[EddieV]

It's just spam. Ignore it.
