You wouldn't think people would fall for scam emails like this but they do and people lose millions of dollars every year.
Do you really think someone is going to give you money for nothing?

Beloved,
I pray you find peace with this. I'm Mrs. Ellen Wilson from Scotland, wife to late Dr. Michael Wilson an Ex-Chairman of T.O.C. London who died in a ghastly motor accident on his way to a board meeting. We were married with no child and I decided not to remarry since I'm now old. When my husband was alive, he deposited $16, 500, 000.00 with a bank here in London. And the bank wrote me a week ago to come and claim this money as the next of kin or give an authority letter to someone who can do it for me. I can't do this myself because I am presently in a hospital where I've been taking treatment for cancer of the lungs for the past four years. My doctors have told me that I have only few weeks to live that is why I decided to use this fund for charity work. I have no family who can do this for me, so I decided to look for a sincere person who can or family who can use 80% of the fund to run the charity. As soon as you respond, I will write an
authority letter to the bank to release the fund to you. I want you to promise me that you will use this fund exactly as I said.
I await your urgent reply.
Mrs. Ellen Wilson

Dear beloved,
I am Mrs. Nancy Robert from New Zealand, I am married with dr.Wilson Robert who work in the chevron / texaco in Egypt for twenty years before he died in 2005. We have been married for twenty five years without a child, he died when the rebellion in Egypt. He was held hostage and killed by the dead youth Christian.
Since his death I decided not to marry again. When my husband alive he deposited some ($ 60 million) with banks in the federal republic of Benin and the bank management has to contact me to receive money or issue a letter of authorization to someone to receive me with the name if I can not come because the conditions on the myself.
I only accompanied my laptop in the hospital now, where I currently receive medical treatment for cancer in the lungs that have since lost my ability to speak and doctors have told me that I only have a few months to live.
Now I just want to see the money invested my husband can be distributed each year to charitable organizations worldwide organization. The purpose of this letter I want to find someone to receive this funding. And as compensation for you as soon as the money into your account, take 30% of the total money while 70% will be used in the way of God.
I took this decision because I know that there are many poor people suffering from various types of disease and does not come to him for help from someone who is able to help him.
As soon as I receive your reply, I will provide information to you about what is needed management bank from you. I will also issue a letter of authority that will prove that you are the recipient of this fund.

CONTACT THE FEDEX COURIER COMPANY NOW.
Good day.

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800,000 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since for a couple of weeks now.

Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and Dr.Wilson the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $800,000 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for five Months Course and I will not come back till ending of may 2010.
What you have to do now is to contact Fedex Express Service Burkina faso as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium.

The only money you will send to the Fedex Express Service to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US) Eighty Five United States Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Fedex Express Service so far.


Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $105.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

You have to contact Fedex Express Service now for the delivery of your consignment with this information bellow;
Directors Name: Dr.Alhaji Muhhamed Koka
Companys Name:Fedex Express Service Burkina Faso
Email Address: (infor_fedexexpressserviceburkinafaso@ubbi.com)

Please, Send them your contacts informations to enable them locate you immediately they arrived your country with your BOX.

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $105.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.

Note this. The Fedex Express Service don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don't let them know that box contents money ok.

I am waiting for your urgent response.

Another 13.5 million for me!

My name is Andrew Erickson, How are you doing sir with your family? I hope you are great. Please kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you, I got your information online while searching for a name that could match with one of my deceased client with a huge amount of S$13,500,000.00 Million in his account which I have tried to locate the family members but this has proved unsuccessful.


I therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity so that the proceeds can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed percentage between us. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance.

In your acceptance of this deal, I request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance to enable me file necessary documents for the release of this sum of found to you. Please contact me for further details.

Yours Faithfully,

Andrew Erickson,
Attorney at Law.

Unfortunately, Andrew Erickson - Attorney At Law would be able to read and write English where obviously this person cannot. One of the identifying marks of a scam, I try to share with my clients, is the broken English. The problem is, I'm not sure the world is producing many people that know how to read and write anymore so they can't tell the difference.

lol!! dont forget the FBI emails and of course Nigerian emails and letters. people get fooled i feel mainly because they are greedy, i would've put ignorant first but you'd be surprised (maybe not) of how many well educated people are so easily lured into these scams. another is Craigslist. they put an add for a beautiful apartment/house at a ridiculously low price. when you reply to the add its pretty much like what everybody copy and pasted above. it always begins with God bless you am so happy to.....in the email they ask you some questions and use lords name many times over and then they send you pictures that look like they were copy and pasted right off the net...oh and of course the keys arent here, they're with her husband, the minitster who is on a mission from God in africa, if you'll just.....i can get the keys to you!
