J.H.B. SOUTH AFRICA

Attention :

 INVESTMENT PARTNER

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am MRS JOY MPELE the wife of MR. LEWIS MPELE, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through Johannesburg Chamber of commerce hence I decided to write you.

Before the death of my husband, he had notified me about the money $25m (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars) he deposited in Johannesburg South Africa with one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as personal valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.  In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my husband was one of the victims.

It is against this background that, my children and I who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my husband money to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa. I am now saddled with the responsibility of seeking for a genuine foreigner who can provide us with a reliable account where this money could be transferred into .All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust with my future and that of my family. I must also let you kno w that this transaction demands absolute confidentiality. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want from you is to help us with an account in your name, which will aid us in transferring the money into any account, you will nominate overseas.

 This money we intend to use for investment and growth in your country. For your efforts we are prepared to give to you 20% of the total funds, or you can go into partnership with us for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction.  If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you the percentage proposed above. 

 Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible I am in dire need to leave this country soonest with my family.

For Immediate response,you must contact me with this email address:mpele_family@yahoo.com or mpele_family@hotmail.com

subject line: Transfer Fraud Alert Unauthorized Transfer Procedures

email received: 8-04-08

Federal Government of Nigeria.

Office of the Hon. Minister of

Finance & Economic Development of

Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Attention:Beneficiary,

  Transfer Fraud Alert Unauthorized Transfer Procedures.

My name is Dr Shamsudeen Usman. As you must be aware, I am the newly appointed Finance Minister of Nigeria. I recently took over office from my predecessor,Dr.Mrs Esther Usman Nenadi.

I am writing you with regards to your stalled funds transfer. For your interest, I would urge you to accord this correspondence your full indulgence and attention, as you may likely have been receiving other emails of similar contents from the numerous Nigerian 419 fraud syndicate and impostors. The authenticity and difference would be evident in a moment.

In the course of the end of the year winding-up activities of all foreign transfers, I was specially instructed by the Presidency to embarked on a personal review of all long pending and stalled International Transfer Files at the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank of Nigeria, including those at our Offshore Foreign Correspondent Banks, with a view of redeeming genuine cases, and consigning others as bad debt in the 2008 Federal Budget.

Mr. President has mandated me to ensure that all genuine claim and transfers are paid this first quarter of the year as part of his pledge to the United Nations, World Bank, and our major western allies.

Your transfer file came to my attention just this morning, and I was compelled to take special interest in your transfer because of  its peculiar history of procedural inconsistencies and unauthorized  payment approval documents that are contained in your file.

Obviously all the persons you assigned to process your transfer have proved to be fraudulent and incompetent. Simply put, these persons have only tried unsuccessfully to smuggle your transfer  through a non-existent back door, while impersonating the offices of various government departments before you, and feeding you with forged transferred document.

Consequently, I have this morning ordered the heads of all the relevant Government Departments genuinely involved in the foreign transfer protocol, including the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the all our Foreign Correspondent Banks, to suspend all further action on your transfer pending conclusion of my personal investigation into the actual reasons why your transfer has failed to date. Official memos have been issued to the relevant

departments.

However, preliminary evidence shows clearly that these fraudulent persons you have assigned to help you process your transfer have been extorting monies from you through concocted excuses and lies, only for them to divert the monies colleted from you to their private pockets and return back to demand more monies from you endlessly.

Please you should not allow yourself to be deceived and extorted anymore. As the chief finance officer of Nigeria, I want to assure you that your transfer will now be processed through the simple, transparent and authoritative means where you will not be required to pay any unauthorized fees.

Please discontinue any form of contact with all those you have been dealing with before now, no matter the nature of your relationship with any of these crooks, including your local attorney. My intention is to quickly reactivate and sort out your transfer without any distraction. So you are forbidden to preempt anyone of this contact, otherwise I will be compelled to out rightly cancel your transfer along others a bad debt.

Reply immediately to acknowledge this advice, and I will instruct you further.

Regards,

Dr Shamsudeen Usman.

From the Desk of Mr.Jim Frank
HOUSEHOLD BANK (Ghana) Limited
Heritage Tower, Near Cedi House
Ambassadorial Enclave, Off Liberia Road
Ridge, Accra- Ghana.
E-Mail: frank_jim1@mail.md

Attn: Sir/Madam.

It is my great privilege and honor to get in contact with you today. My Name is Mr.Jim Frank, A citizen of Ghana and a credit officer of the HouseHold Bank Ghana Limited. Our Late Customer who is a national of your country and who (in this case I am his accounting officer) died along with his wife and his Two Sons in a ghastly motor accident along the express way, over 3 years now (August 13, 2004). All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. Our late Customer was a successful and an

accomplished family man, He was an Oil consultant/contractor with the Ghana Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Before his untimely death, he made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months with our bank valued at US$4, 955,000.00,(Four Million Nine Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand United State Dollars). Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, but all effort proved abortive.

Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of his extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded.

The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution, and as the accounting officer I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 90 working days or forfeit the money will be sent to the Ghana Govt. reserve account. Further investigations revealed that he did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper

work of his bank deposit.

And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, US$4, 955,000.00,(Four Million Nine Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand United State Dollars). is still lying in my bank, and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that The Directors of my bank had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me, Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness but fortunately, I came across you,

and to my utmost amazement, you are a nationals of the same country and shares the same surname. My suggestion to you is that I will like you to stand as the next of kin so that you will be able to receive this fund.

However, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same country, I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin. All I require is your honest co-operation 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 law. Be Inform also that we shall share the funds in the ratio 50% for me and 40% for you, while 10% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require.

Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. I will bring you into a more details of this transaction when I hear from you. Gets back to me with my privet Email: frank_jim1@mail.md

I await your urgent response.

Regards
Mr.Jim Frank.

Kindest attention,

My name is Luis Sacra, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

As my faith lays on the edge now, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as few close friends. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations and those in need. I want this to be one of the last good deeds I will do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organization when I was well. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity organization in the United States, Asia, Middle East and Europe; 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 money, which no one knows of, is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars ($18,000.000.00) that I have with a Bank in Nigeria. I will want you to help me withdraw this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations and use it to help those in need.

N/B; Kindly note that 30% of this fund must go to victims of Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, South Asia Earthquake, 50% to other charity organizations around the world and 20% for your effort and time. I cannot talk to you on phone due to my heath situation, as I am using my laptop computer to communicate with you. You should respond to this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf. Send your response via e-mail at: sacra_luis@yahoo.fr

God be with you.
