This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be.

Confidential Business Proposal!

I am Mr. Mamadou Kala, manager In charge of Foreign Remittance department I have a business which will benefit both of us,

The amount of money involved is ($20.2 Million Dollars) which I want to transfer from an abandoned account to your bank account; It is 100% risk free.

Upon the conclusion of this transaction, I accept that (45%) Forty FIVE Percent will be for you in respect of all your assistance for this transaction and (55%) FIFTY FIVE Percent will be for me being the pioneer of the business.

A lot of customers open private accounts with different Banks without the knowledge of their families and when they die, such money will be lost to the Bank unless someone comes to claim it. This is how a lot of Bank Directors make so much money silently.

I will like you to provide immediately the below information's, to enable me use it and get you next of kin application form from my bank.

1. Full Name:......................
2. Full Address:...................

Dear friend.

Greetings to you and your family, I am the manager of bill and exchange in THE BANK, I have a business of 5.5 Million United State Dollars to be transfer to your account for investment in your country, if you are ready to assist me get back to me, I will give you full details on how the fund will be transfer to you.

Be rest assured that everything will be handled confidentially because, this is a great opportunity we cannot afford to miss, as it will make our family profit a lot.

It has been 7 years ago, that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers.

Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores of Africa were gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent.

The Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transfer to foreign accounts so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the fund worth five million five hundred united state dollars I told you about and I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers of fund at that particle time were closed after transfer.

I am the account officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act, I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me for the money was too much for them to control, as I am sending this message to you, I was able to divert five point five Millions Dollars ($5.5M)which is in an escrow transit account belonging to no one in the bank, and now my bank is very anxious to know the real beneficiary of the funds is for they have made a lot of profits with the fund.

It has been more than Seven years ago and most of the politicians are no longer in power again and they don’t use our bank to transfer funds overseas anymore since their tenure had expired.

The $5.5 Million United State Dollars has been lying in the bank as unclaimed fund and I will soon retire from the bank immediately the fund is transfer into your account over there.

Immediately the fund has been successfully transfer into your account I will come to your country for the sharing of the fund, the fund will be shared 50% for me and 40% for you, and the other 10% for the orphanages home and poor with less-privilege people.

Please know that there is no one that is going to question you about the fund if you will comply with me and follow my instruction which will help us a lot to achieve this goal for everything is well secured.

Please indicate your interest in this transaction by replying back and if you are not interested do not waste your time to reply kindly delete my message from your box ok. Private Email la621816@yahoo.com

Waiting to hear from you soon.

Yours,
Mr Lompo Azis

Anybody responding to this garbage has to have a screw loose.

No emails are opened by me unless they are from an established contact.
All others are ignored then flagged as spam.
I check the original 'headers' to get a rough idea of their origin... then into the junk they go.

If it's so important, the people I do wish to communicate with have got my phone number.

[Steve.r]

Some people must reply though or they wouldn't do it I suppose. There are some very stupid people out there.

[grahamw48]

True.

They used to buy Lada and Yugo cars.

[Arthur Little]

Can't seem to locate the thread involved now, ... but I'm pretty certain I mentioned this on the forum several years ago:

Whenever the sender of almost ANY email or letter styles himself 'Mr' at the beginning and/or end of a communication (as in the examples shown above) ... then you may be very sure it's a SCAM!

Rest assured, NO legitimate, self~respecting businessman will ever style himself thus ... either online or on paper.

's definitely a dead giveaway - junk mail - as far as I'm concerned.

So you're advised to BIN those pronto!

[jonnijon]

Dammit, just checked my account and found $2 million in there
