It's so good to see that it's made the email rounds again...

BARRISTER YASSIN ALI MOAHAMED


Dearest,


Please permit me to make your acquaintance in an informal manner. This
is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trustworthy
foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I
will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously.

I am Barrister Yassin, Ali Mohamed from Sudan. I am the family attorney
to late Vice President John Garang. He died of the terrible helicopter
crash on 1st August 2005 together with his family on his way coming
back from Uganda for a peace talk between the two neighboring countries
may his soul rest in perfect peace.

My client Vice President John Garang, have some consignment Deposited
with Fidelity Finance Security company in South Africa that contains raw
cash, because of the anti-terrorist law, this funds was moved to the
Finance company through a diplomatic means so as to avoid international
money laundering law. Because of his position of my late client as the
vice president of Sudan, he is been forced by the law of Sudan to
declare all his assets; this includes all his bank account, both home and
abroad as the number two citizen of the nation.

You will agree with me that Sudan has been in civil War for the past
3decades. This has drawn the attention of the western world including the
united nation to impose serious economic sanction in our great country
Sudan.

My client Vice President John Garang, have a concrete plan seeking for
a foreign partner to invest the funds, as he can not deposit the funds
into his account because of the Sudanese law that does not permit any
of the government official to operate a foreign account, before he died
of this terrible helicopter crash on the 1st August 2005.

You can read more on this website for clearer understanding:

<http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exer...076B47F915.htm>

As a matter of fact, my client died together with his family and this
funds will remain unclaimed in the Finance company in
South Africa as non of Vice President John Garang's family knew nothing
about this project as myself is afraid to tell any of them as I do not
know who is loyal to the present government of the rebels, which I
believe some of the family members belongs to, and there is no way I will
be able to put claims to this funds, as I am a well known as a
reputable attorney to the late Vice President John Garang also one time the
attorney general to my country-Sudan. I will need a help of a
trustworthy foreign partner to enable us put claims to this funds hence
I decided to contact you as a foreign partner to present to the Finance
company in South Africa as a next of kin to the late Vice President
John Garang to enable us secure the funds from the custody of the Finance
company for the mutual benefit for both of us.

The entire amount that involves in this great project is US$65.4m.
(Sixty Five Million Four Hundred Thousand united state dollars) for your
assistance in helping me putting claims to the funds in the Finance
company in South Africa into your nominated bank account for safe keeping, I
will offer you 27%, while 5% has been set aside for any expenses both
parties might incurred during the completion of this project, 23% will
be used for charity organization, while the remaining 45% which is my
share will be used for any lucrative investment you will introduce me
into in your country.

Yours sincerely,

Barrister Yassin, Ali Mohamed.
(Principal partner)


N/B: The Darfur rebels killed my wife on her way back from work last

So much for being confidential...

[Treibenschnell]

Just got another one today!

STANDARD TRUST INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC.
Plot 101c, Park Street Lekki
Phase 11, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Private / Highly Confidential.

Subject Matter: Invitation to Act as Next-of-Kin.


I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach
you
in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence
and
trust matters of this nature requires. Though, I know that this
proposal may
make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that all will be
well at
the end. Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself. I am Dr. Mike
Williams, Deputy General Manager, (Credit Controls) with Standard Trust
Bank
Limited, Lagos. I got your contact from a reliable fellow.

The Proposal:

An American Citizen, Late Engineer. Roy A Bruce, a Petrochemical
Engineer
with Eleme Petro-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his death in ADC
plane
crash in November 2000, he operated a domiciliary account with us and
had a
closing balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting to
$10,500,000.00
( Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the
bank
now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no avail. Valuable efforts
have
been made by Standard Trust Bank Plc to get in touch with any of late
Engineer Roy A. Bruce's family as beneficiary to his estates without
success.

It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate
any
of Late Engr. Roy A Bruce's next of kin, since he had no wife or
children
that is known to the bank.

Consequently, the Chairman and the board of Directors are planning to
declare the fund Unclaimed and transfer it to Special Trust fund for
purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in Sierra Leone and
Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-regions. In other to avert this
negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as
next-of -kin to the estate of late Engr. Roy A Bruce , so that the fund
$10,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your account as
beneficiary's
next of kin.

I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us get this
fund
out. I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to
locate
any of the deceased beneficiary and more so; I am assuring you that
this
transaction is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated
account,
you will be entitling to 35%. Your share stays while the rest be for me
and
some people I will settle here. You will be entitled to substantial
part
from my percentage in trust for investment.

As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I will furnish you
with
the necessary modalities for commencement. Finally, I am relying in my
confidence in you, having opened up to you.

If however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy this
information as I will continue to look for a willing partner(s).

Yours Faithfully,

Dr. Mike Williams.

I hope to the great heavens above that no one falls for this crap...

[Titus]

You got my letter!

[black roadster]

I hope to the great heavens above that no one falls for this crap...

What do you mean? I just sent this guy a draft from my bank!

[black roadster]

BTW,

There are folks out there who have baited these guys in return, wasted there time, strung them along and actually in some cases got money from the scammers!

[Treibenschnell]

Wow... the third one in as many days...

Good Day,

Please bear with me for now and do not ask my name. What I have may be of interest to you. It's an obscured business suggestion/proposal that will be beneficial to you and I. Before I start explaining it all to you, I will want to advice that you should not consider me a dishonest individual in the end after reading this email for deciding to do this because no matter what your decision is going to be, the late man's money will be going into someone else pockets, and this is either going to be me and you or the United Kingdom Government eventually. I am doing this for out of desperation for myself, my family and for their future's sake.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war broke out again our client Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with the Iraqi forces and also a businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan 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, Twenty Four million Five Hundred 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 according to the laws of my country at the expiration 5 years, the funds will be reverted to the ownership of the United Kingdom Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that you will be able to receive his funds.

MODALITIES:

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Name and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will be preparing all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you.

Should you be interested please send me your:

(1) Full names,
(2) Private phone number,
(3) Current residential address,

And I will prefer you reach me on my anonymous email address below: (emailaddress) and finally after that, I shall provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Warmest and Kindest Regards,
BKW

They took me off their lists... It took about 3 months but I hadn't gotten one in about 1 1/2 years...

I would use www.samspade.org and look up the abuse address for the email domains listed in the emails (both the from address and the reply-to addresses) and send them emails asking the accounts be terminated for ToS (Terms of Service) violations.
