Dear Comrade,

I hope this contact will not surprise you. I am Mr. Austin Mulani Matuba a brother to Catherine one of the wives of Jonas Savimbi the leader of the UNITA movement in Angola, who was killed on February 22nd. I got your name in a list of our past international donors and supporters so I decided to look up your email address over the Internet, which was my source of your email address.

One week before he was killed I was designated to handle and supervise the payment of $18.5million for supply of arms and materials to UNITA movement. This sum, which came from cash sales of diamonds mined in the UNITA controlled province had been deposited in cash with one of our cash deposits security companies abroad waiting for collection by the arms potential seller.

This money was shipped in cash by a diplomatic courier to the finance and security firm and kept in their safe deposit vault as personal effects. My aim of contacting you is to ask your assistance to help me collect this money in your name while I give you $8million. The procedure for claim of this money is quite simple. We shall go to the security in Europe, I will present the deposit documents and security, code and pin numbers while you will just present an invoice for the release and transfer of the funds into your bank account at no risk whatsoever to you or me.

I have decided to convert this money for my personal use since our leader is dead. The faith of the UNITA movement is yet unknown so it will be unwise for me to commit this money into the purchase of arms that might not be needed anymore. I am presently on exile in a close African country.

Your soonest positive response would be anticipated.

Best regards,

Austin Maluani Matuba

They've got this old scam down to a science.

I think there is a program the scam people use to fill in the blanks on the basic scam email. In some of the copies that I get they fill in all the changeable bits with ALLCAPS text. Oh yeah, quite authentic and natural...

Delete that crap ASAP!

BTW, Phantom, my uncle MR. ANNUTU BANUTA from the country GABON, AFRICA, has $100,000,000 for you, but I need your account details in order to do some fishy moving the $$$ around.

please I am Mr Suleman Mohammed, the only son of
late KABOURG MOHAMMED from Sierra Leone. I got your
contact from the Ecowas Infomation Center in Côte d'Ivoire.
My sources of your contact gave me the courage and
confidence to rely on you. I am writing you in
absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance
to transfer our cash of twenty one million eight
hundred dollars ($21,800,000) now in the custody of a
Security company here in Abidjan to your private account
pending our arrival to your country.

SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, KABOURG MOHAMMED, a native of
mende district in the Northern province of Sierra
Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining
co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my
father. This money was the income accrued from mining
co-operation's over draft and minor sales. Before the
peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of
major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG
peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my
country, following the forceful removal from power
of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by
the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for
his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to
be evacuated to Abidjan with our personal effects including
this trunk box containing this fund to Cote d'Ivoire . My
father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after
the war when he will join us. During the war in
my country, and following the indiscriminate looting
of public and Government properties by the rebel
forces, the sierra Leone mining co-operation was one of the
targets looted and destroyed. My father including other
top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by
the rebels in November 2000 because of his relationship
with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a
result of my father death, and with the news of my uncles
involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope
of survival. The untimely deaths of my father caused my
mothers heart failure and other related complications
of which she later died in the hospital After we must
have spent a lot of money on her. Now
my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this
strange country suffering without any care or help.
Without any relation, we are now like refugees and
orphans. Our only hope now is in the fund that our father
deposited in the security company to this effect, I am
humbly solicit your kind assistance in the followings ways.
To assist me claim this consignment from the security
company as co-beneficiary.

To transfer this money in your name to your country.
To make a good arrangement for a joint business
investment on our behalf in your country and you will be
the major caretaker on the areas of our investment in your
country.
To secure a good college for my little sister and my self
in your country to further our education.
And to make arrangement for our travel with you to
your country after you have transferred this fund.
Most importantly. The whole documents issued to my late
father after deposit are in my custody. For your
assistance, I have agreed to offer you 15 % of this money
and 5% is being set aside for any expenses that we might
incure in this transaction. Please call me through this
number 225 07779-092immediately you receive this proposal
for more details.
Looking forward for your response

Best regards

ambition of enjoying the proceeds from our labour with
100% peace of mind. Regrettably, the Code of Conduct
Bureau of the Nigerian civil service, forbids the
operation of foreign and domiciliary accounts by civil

in Nigeria, government officials set up companies and
awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over -
invoiced in various ministries. We have discovered a
lot of these inflated contract funds which are
presently trapped in the Central bank of Nigeria ready
for payment. However, by virtue of our position as
civil servants and members of this panel, as mentioned
earlier, we cannot legally acquire this money in our
names, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct
Bureau (Civil Servants Laws). I have therefore, been
delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the
panel to liase with you as our foreign partner into
whose account we would be able to transfer these funds
being the sum of US$21,320,000.00 (Twenty One Million,
Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand U.S. Dollars)

We have agreed to share the money thus:

1. 20% for the Account owner (you)
2. 70% for us (The officials)
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local
and foreign expenses.

It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the
importation of the Machineries. Please, note that this
transaction is 100% safe and risk-free, we hope to
finalise the transfer latest seven (7)Banking days

I sadly informed him that I just gave all my money to the poor as the only thing I need in life is my bible.

My Dear Partner,

I am Dr.Francis S. Mboma, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am
an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Mining &
Natural Resources affiliated (created ) to the Department of Minerals and
Energy. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you
for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to
Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that
a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at
the Government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave
your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I plea 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 it as a top secret
because of the nature of this transaction.

Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an
Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of two other top officials,
we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Forty - Five
Million, Five Hundred And Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ($45,560,000.)
which we
want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are
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 $45.560m 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 which we have in principles gotten approval to
remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will
provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in
South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former
contractor to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that, should you
be willing to assist us in this transaction that is 100% hitch free, your
share of the sum will be 25% of the $45.560 million, 70% for us and 5% for
taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, 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 my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above Tel
number 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 my partners and myself are in a
position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give
us a very strong
Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember
to treat this as very confidential because, we will not comprehend with
any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and
remember once again that time is of the essence in this business.
I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.And you can also
reach me with this private email address:francismboma@nescape.com

Yours faithfully,

DR Francis Sonto Mbomam

Dear Sir,

SUBJECT: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

With full confidence I do hereby contact you in a bid for the claim of an unclaimed sum of

Twenty five million US dollars belonging to one of our Foreign deceased customers, Eng.

Alexander Jefferson in our branch office here; I have decided to contact you following the

impressive information I have, through one of my friend's who assured me of your

capability and reliability to be of trust in this business Transaction. We would want you to

stand as the beneficiary or the next of kin, to this fund for its claim. Hence for over 12years

nobody has come for this fund and we don't want this money to go into the Government

treasury as unclaimed Bill, as it have been declared in our own bank.

We are going to prepare all the documents to cover this fund into your account as

"LOAN" from our bank or "INVESTMENT FUND"so as to protect it from suspicions. We

have decided that 30 % of this money will be for you as our foreign partner, in respect
to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred on the

course of transfer and 60% would be for me and my colleagues.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged and upon the

receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of application for claim

which you will send to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased.

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 arrangements have been made for a smooth transfer.
Do call me for more details, which will be made to you on my subsequent mails.
Anticipating your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
