Attention :,

Having gotten above 90% completion of transfers to beneficiaries on the same pay-list with you. We have concluded to review those that their funds have not been transferred/completed and that is why you are getting this official notification message.

 

We have a little time to give the final report on this project/initiative as we should submit all file allocation completion transfers as a form of auditing to enable a comprehensive record on the beneficiaries before cancellation on those that failed to receive their funds. We want to have a legal back-up on that to avoid any legal tussle with any beneficiary when his or her funds are cancelled.

 

Therefore we need to hear from you as soon as possible to enable the aforementioned. Urgently expecting your response for a review. Have a nice day.

Dear Friend,

Have you received your fund since last year? I saw your payment file that is why I decided to contact you. You have suffered for nothing without receiving your fund due to over greediness by the officials.
You would have received your fund since last year but your problem is over greediness that cost you a lot of money and still yet, you have never received $1 into your account. Reply to my email address: ( infor0983-gmail.com ) for more details if you still need your fund. Please don't reply if you are not owner of this email address.

"Good Day to you .

It is a Business Deal , This message might meet you in utmost surprise, however, it's just my Urgent need for foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction I have a proposal for you, I decided to contact you and ask for your assistance in this urgent matter that requires trust and confidentiality.

Although this may be hard for you to believe because i know that there is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email as this might sound strange to you and coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate persons to get attention and recognition. Please grant me the benefit of doubt and hear me out.

I am Mr Akbar Siayad , Managing Director of a private bank here in Istanbul Turkey ,I write you this proposal in good faith hoping that I will rely on you in a business transaction that require absolute confidentiality and of great interest and benefit to our both families.



Note , In 2007, one of my client from South Korea Yoo-sun made a fixed deposit for 36 months, valued at $8,745,000.00 with my bank. I was his account officer before I rose to the position of Managing Director. The maturity date for this deposit contract was 27th of November 2019 . Sadly my client was among the death victims in the September 2009 earthquake in Indonesia that left over 1,200 people dead while he was there on business trip.



The management of my bank has been finding means to reach him so as ascertain if he will roll over the Deposit or have the contract sum withdrawn. When I discovered that this will happen, I have tried to think up a procedure to preserve this fund and use the proceeds for business.



Some directors here have been trying to find out from me the information about this account and the owner, but I have kept it closed because, I know that if they become aware that my client is late, they will corner the funds for themselves. Therefore, am seeking your co-operation to present you as the one to benefit from his fund at his death , so that my bank headquarters will pay the funds to you. I have done enough inside bank arrangement and you only have to put in your details into the information network in the bank computers and reflect you as his next of kin.




On the sharing of the proceed, i will like to propose the following, we will bring out 10% for charity as part of our contribution to help the needy in our society and the remaining we will share it 50/50, this is my own opinion subject to your ratification and confirmation.


One Passionate appeal, i will not like you to discuss this matter with anybody, if you have any reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any Leakage of this information will be too bad for me at my work place as the Branch Manager .

Thanks and remain blessed,

To: undisclosed-recipients:

I AM Mr Ahmed Mattar
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must , come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.

Please I want you to read this letter very carefully and I must apologize for barging this message into your mail box without any formal introduction due to the urgency and confidentiality of this business and I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. Please, this is not a joke and I will not like you to joke with it OK, With due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great assistance, to me. My name is Mr Ahmed Mattar, from Burkina Faso, West Africa. I
work in Bank as telex manager, please see this as a confidential message and do not reveal it to another person, and let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is top secret.

I am about to retire from active Banking service to start a new life , but I am skeptical to reveal this particular secret to a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life. It has been 10 years now 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. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transferring to foreign accounts, so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of

how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer. I acted as the Bank 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 because the money was too much for them to control, They laundered over $5billion Dollars during the process. Before I send this message to you, I have already diverted ($10.5million Dollars) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to the funds is because

they have made a lot of profits with the funds. It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($10.5million Dollars) has been laying waste in our bank and I don't want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver (a foreigner).
The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me by providing a reliable bank account where the funds can be transferred. You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you a detailed

information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance to grab my own life opportunity but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid any leakages as no one in the bank knows about my plans. Please get back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project, I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate,do declare your consent to me, I am looking forward to hear from you immediately for further information,

I contacted you to seek for your opinion, assistance or partnership in getting back some amount of money left behind by a citizen of your country Philippines. Late Ms. Angelica Mae Rodriguez a Filipina who resides here in New Jersey, United States. She is a nurse and was also into Real Estate management but she died of heart attack here in the United States since September 2013 leaving behind in our bank the sum of ( Five hundred and fifty thousand US Dollars ) as fixed deposit for a period of two years, it's five years now still yet no claim has been put on the fund.

I have tried to find Late Ms. Angelica Mae Rodriguez or any of her relative but to no avail and the last date given by the bank to claim this fund is fast approaching, I want you to stand as a relative to Ms. Angelica Mae Rodriguez since both of you are from the same country so that we can claim this fund. We will share the money into two equal parts once we succeed.

This transaction is safe and everything will be done legally, have no fear about this. I have all the copies of the documents relating to the deposit she made that you will file to back up this claim. All i need is your honest and sincere cooperation to enable us make this claim successfully. I am waiting for your consent in order to move to the next step towards getting the money. Thank you.

According to the ethics of an office, introduction is always very important on a first contact like this. I am Mr. Dennis O'Connor, Chief of the United States Mint Police. This Official Memorandum is to inform you that we discovered that some officials whom work under the United States government have attempted to divert your Funds (US$5,000,000:00) through a back-door channel.

In respect to the money laundering decree of United States, such amount of money cannot be moved in cash outside United States because such attempt is a criminal offense and is punishable under the money laundering act of 1982 of United States of America. This decree is a globalize law applicable in most developed countries in order to check-mate terrorism and money laundering.

From our gathered information here in this Unit, we discovered that the said Funds in question actually belongs to you, but it had been purposely delayed because the officials in charge of your Payment are into some sort of irregularities which is totally against the ethics of any Payment institution. Presently, this said Funds valued US$5,000,000:00 is under the custody of the Paying Bank (Scotiabank USA) and I can assure you that your Funds will be released to you without a hitch provided that you are sincere to us in this matter. Also, we require your positive co-operation at every level because we are closely monitoring this very transaction in order to avert the bad eggs in our society of today.

Today dated 26th October 2019, we have instructed the Executive management of (Scotiabank USA) to Release the said Funds to you as the certified Beneficiary in question, because we have valuable information's/records to authenticity that the said Funds truly belongs to you.

Subject: Re: 10/7/2019..

Hello
​
Good day, I do hope you doing great, and thank you so much for replying and willing to know more about this proposal. This message is sent with the best of intentions as I was encouraged to do so because all through my life strangers have played so much importance, even up to this point, that got me where I am today starting from my childhood experience. For this reason, I'm not in doubt contacting you because I have met strangers, just like you, who have helped me in the course of life in the most supportive and trusting way. So please keep a fairly open mind, let my disclosure stand on its own merit to ensure that you have made a well-informed decision on the long run. ​
​
Permit me to introduce myself once again as Sgt Dave Alejandro deployed to Afghanistan, I am an Spanish American, with original family roots to Madrid, Spain. I am a Mechanical Engineer and member of a USA Elite Special Activities Division (SAD) / Special Operations Group (SOG) which is a division in the United States Central Intelligence Agency's located at the U.S Embassy in Kabul. I got your contact from Google email database directory after an extensive search on the Internet and you may be wondering why I choose to trust a delicate matter like this in the care of a stranger, but this is the best I can do in my present situation. I would have trusted this kind of project in the hands of my wife who was my closest confidant, but I lost her to cancer on 22nd April, 2006 7 months after we got married, and my only brother has ruined his life with hard drugs, As i also lost my parents in a car Accident, when I was 7 year old back in Europe (Madrid, Spain) were i was born and raised up by my adopted parents before moving to the USA but they died years ago, the relatives of my adopted Parents threw me out of the house saying that I was not their own blood. So I lived in Utah before joining the Force. This is the reason why i decided to work with a neutral person if we can establish some trust between ourselves instead of confiding in my buddies back home so that this little secret can be preserved. ​
​
MY PURPOSE OF CONTACTING YOU.​
​
I acquired ($7.6 Million USD) from the oil business deal like you already know. This amount ($7.6 Million USD) is my personal share of the deal, due to my status as a US Special Agent, I cannot be able to handle this huge funds personal or move it to my account in United States because our accounts are been monitored by the USA government as well as to avoid further interrogation's or face any kind of probation by the U.S government so the funds was packaged in a metallic box (luggage) and have sent it to the United Nations Air-force Authorities here in Afghanistan, because there is no other way out to keep it with me here, because of the recent bomb-blast here in Afghanistan, so with the help of a American contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, as I have deposited the consignment as a family treasure. I'm writing to personally invite you to join me for something truly life changing and rewarding. I'm setting up an Endowment Fund to finance a non-profit foundation providing asylum for Afghans who face the most risk to their lives because of public support for the U.S war and reconstruction efforts. This was suppose to be at the end of my current and last tour, by the year-end, after processing a honorable discharge from military service. I believe by now you may be curious to know how this matters to you or how it could possibly be of interest to you. The issue is that with my current deployment extension by 3-months due to the fragile security situation and dire risk of Afghanistan falling back into the hands of the Taliban, after exit of the last contingent of foreign troops, I'm desperately in need of your assistance to help me evacuate the sum of $7.6 Million USD as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your custody until I complete my service tour here. For your assistance in this, you will have the right to claim a retainer amount of 30-percent of the cash amount, during this interim period it's in your custody. ​
​
I ask that if you find no interest in this undertaking that you should discard this email. Please respect the gravity of the situation and do not send a reply contrary to my expectation. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. However, if you are a person with good intentions and have a genuine interest to offer some assistance, then endeavor to contact me immediately to enable so as to start cash shipment arrangements. Most importantly, please be discreet about this and maintain strictest confidentiality until the cash deposit is confirmed delivered to you . ​
​
Please observe this instruction religiously. Don't try to spoil my image as it will not be a good thing. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my life experience. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response on my email to enable us commence this line of discussion.​
​
*This funds is NOT stolen and there are NO danger or risk involved.​
​
Your acceptance to this would encourage me to send further information for us to proceed.​
​
Lastly, If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you, but if you are ready to work with me let me know and I will give you the relevant details and initiate this process towards a conclusion. ​

Hello Dear and Compliments of the Day.

I send you this mail without knowing what the consequences might be, I know within me that you will not disappoint me.

I know what am about to tell you will come to you as surprise, i know this is as a result of the fact that some mischief-makers
who have taken to the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it little difficult for some people to believe
that not all things in the Internet are genuine. But what am about to tell you is very real, it will serve as a life changing to you.

My name is Sgt. Lauren Nowak, native of Fremont,Ohio,USA. Am 27yrs old, A team leader with Female Engagement Team 13,
currently in support of Weapons Company,1st Battalion,9th Marine Regiment Afghanistan with high hope of working together.

In Iraq before my exit to Afghanistan,on a routing patrol with some of my team member in an Iraqi remote village we discovered
in an underground abandoned militant bunker hidden money in boxes in US currency ($132M USD). Together we kept it secret.The money
was later shared among us and after sharing I got ($10.5M USD). Due to my status as a US military, I can't be able to move the money
out to my Account,if traced to my Account will be problem for me,I will be interrogated,court-martial and then dismissed subject to
US military law. I then decided and packed the total $10.5 Million USD in a Safe Box and sent it to Red-Cross office,this is because
there is no other way out to keep it with me here in Afghanistan. With the help of a German contact working with the UN here I was
able to get the Safe Box out to a safe location entirely out of trouble zone. As i write you, the German does not know what is

However, I will appreciate if you can be of good assistance to me as I am willing to invest this money heavily in the real estate investment or any other investment sector provided I will have a good partner or investor as well as fund manager who will guide on this business framework and as thus, share with me on the ROI in any venture which we have considered lucrative to invest in. I am (MRS.VONDA SABULI BANYERE) a widow the wife of Late (MR. KIALA BANYERE FAMILY.) who was a Gold and Diamond Dealer in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I am contacting you based on my need to have a foreign partner in your country as its necessary due to my plans to relocate from here and to establish a private company under your care in your region. I have not managed any business before but i always have a dream of running my own company establishment hence it has been my desire to recapitalize in the GCC market. Basically, I am married to late (MR. KIALA BANYERE) As the present political instability in my country Democratic Republic of Congo, does not encourage financial investment, as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all security is not insured, just as reported by international media.

Myself and my only son ( Mr. Dennis John Banyere) have decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of USD$20.5Million United States Dollars) to your personal company or your private bank s account, pending if the fund will be safe without any problem. This money was part of the fund secured by my late husband when he was still in power. As the wife, he relied on me; my attention was to manage this said amount, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

This fear was actualized on when his bodyguard, Mr. Rashed assassinated my husband on a cold blood (May his soul rest in peace, Amen), Presently this fund is currently deposited with a private Security and finance company in South Africa in favours of my son, he is presently residing as an Asylum seeker in South Africa and the financial law of South Africa does not gives us some certain financial right as a result of Asylum seeker, So have we decided not to invest this fund here in Africa coupled the way this fund was acquired as well as the pressure in my family from my husband first wife and her son (President Joseph Desire Kabila) who is currently succeeding my late husband as my country president?

Please do not hesitate to contact my son (Mr. Dennis John Banyere) on his direct Email Address( mrdennisjohnbanyere1112-gmail.com ) so that he will direct you on how we can start the transfer. AND his Number IS: 27 630 125 998.

Hello

I’m contacting you with a strong hope that your email is still active and that you are the right person for this business opportunity which I’m about to share with you.

My name is Yusuf Lawal, I’m a board member and, I'm also in charge of contract allocation with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

There is an over invoice that originated from my office in connection to unpaid contractors and contract funds. An excess of $81,450,000.00USD was added to the payment ledger submitted by me to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for payment of domestic and international contractors. The CBN has started disbursement of payment to each company upon presentation of valid Contract Award Certificate and Contract Completion Certificate. These certificates are the only requirement to establish that a company has been awarded and completed a contract, hence entitled to receive payment from the CBN.

My proposal, therefore, is to issue you these certificates and upload your details on our systems using my official capacity. Once this is completed, I will then direct you on how to approach the CBN for your payment. This payment process is simple and all that is required is your identification and, of course, presentation of the verifiable Contract Award and Completed Certificate which I’m going to make available.

I’m happy to give you 30%-35% of this sum on completion. I will provide you an offshore account to transfer my share once this deal is over and relevant taxes paid off in your country.

Note; this is not my first time of doing something like this and the success rate so far is 100% if you follow the process to be advised by me.

Please send your response to my private email ( gaballawal062-gmail.com)

Kind Regards

Jersey Channel Islands,
PRIVATE AND URGENT.
I am Mr. Denis Girault, and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION:

I am an account manager with UBP Bank here in Jersey Channel Islands, in charge of all nonresident accounts. I have been in this capacity working with the bank for the last 15 years and I joined this institution in 1983 as a junior clerk and worked my way up through the ranks. On assumption of duty in November 2002 I discovered a dormant account in my branch that was opened in 1985 in the name of Karl Henning and I have kept close tab on this very account for the last 15 years and it has remained dormant even from the day the first deposit of (US$37, 000,000,00)Thirty Seven Million United States dollars was made to this moment, we have been investigating this account for the past 15 years and discovered that Karl Henning was used as Pseudonym Name to open the account while the original owner of the funds in question was the late president of Philippines Ferdinand Marcos. The next of kin part was left blank hence it was impossible for them to have claimed the funds these past years or they have fo

1.Beneficiary name and address
2.Identification documents
3.Direct Telephone and Private Email Address.

These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments and file your name in all the forms and other vital documents as next of kin to the Pseudonym Name Karl Henning which before now was left blank when the account was opened many years ago. Upon your reply, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and advice you the detailed procedure to follow and achieve this once in a life time opportunity without any hitch. I must assure you that if you are serious and follow my lead religiously, these funds will be processed and released to you within 14-working-day period. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your Immediate Reply.

Denis Girault"

Hello Beloved One,

I believe that you have not forgotten me, although it was indeed a very long time we communicate last. Well, this is to thank you for your past effort to assist me in moving out my late Father's funds out of the country at that time. You did your best to assist me but could not conclude the transaction with me. I thank God for his grace and favor upon my life because there was a man called Hagen Bengt from Denmark who finally helped me to move the money to his account so our government did not seize my father`s money any more. I thank God too much for all He has done.

I am so glad to write this email to you today, God is really wonderful and so kind to me, God makes a way where there is no way, I did not believe that I will move out from Benin by now, but God has made it possible for me. So I am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under my new partner from Copenhagen, Denmark,I am currently in the Copenhagen for my studies here in the Denmark, Meanwhile, I did not forget all your past efforts and attempts to assist me that time in transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow due to one reason or the other. But because i made a promise to God that i must surely compensate you as the first person who tried all your best to help me despite that you did not conclude the transaction but i could not forget your good advice and encouragement which you gave me at that time.

Now i want you to contact our Parish Sister: Reverend Sister Rita Raymond who used to be a good Mother to me when I was in UN refugee Camp in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, her e-mail address is : (sister.rita0-outlook.com) and Cell: ( 22961665177)

I told her to send a certified bank check of ($250,000.00 USD) Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State dollars, which I prepared for you and kept for your compensation for all efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter, knowing fully well that i would have not succeeded if not your advice and encouragement to me at that time. Please accept this little token as it is, but I really appreciate your efforts at that time very much. So feel free to contact Reverend Sister Rita at: (sister.rita0-outlook.com) and Cell: ( 22961665177) and inform her how to send you the Cashier Check of $250,000.00 USD.

Note: Below is the required information you will send to Reverend Sister Rita Raymond:

(1) Your full names:

(2) Your house address:

(3) Your telephone number:

Please let me know immediately you receive it so we can share our joy together after all the sufferings at that time. At this point, I’m very busy here because of my studies and some project that we have at hand. Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the Reverend Sister Rita Raymond on your behalf to receive that money but you have to reconfirm it again to avoid any mistake. So do not hesitate to contact her and she will send the amount to you without any delay.

And please do not forget to inform me as soon as you received the money.Take care and God bless you. Good bye for now.

Yours friend,
Ms. Linda Olivier."

BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO
WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,

With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank last
account and auditing evaluation, my staffs came across an old account
which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learn was among
the deceased passengers of motor accident on November.2003, the
deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account
has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since
it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment
by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven't applied for
claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account
until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is
A foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to
file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this
discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done
.I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of
the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is 18.6 million with my positions as
staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign
accounts and cannot lay strong claim over this money. The client was a
foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin
and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data
to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of
your choice where this money could be transferred into .The total sum
will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses
incidental occur during the transfer will be incur by both of us. The
transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my
instruction till the fund transfer to your account. Since I work in
this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this
transaction because you will be updated with information as at when
desired.

"Hello,

I would like with your agreement, you present my situation.

I am of French origin, in 2012, I married a young Ivorian Ivory Coast, because my father was there for 20 years. My father was a partner of Bouygues in Ivory Coast, he did not want not of this marriage, because he found that this young man was an opportunist. But unfortunately, I did not listen to my father and I married this young and worse, I even took his nationality to avoid my father.

A few years after my father died and left me a sum of (4.7 million) as well, I informed my husband of this money and he advised me to put this money in his name and that he will make plans for us, I point out that we had a daughter. Unfortunately, my husband to recover more than 1 million euro and the latest news, he is in Switzerland with another, when I heard the news, I contacted the bank manager who blocked the account.

I offered him to give these funds on behalf and also to help me transfer him to Europe so that I could go back there, he said it was impossible, because it needed the signature of my husband, but if I want to do it well, I would have to hire a notary who can help me. I do not have the means to hire a notary, because I have nothing so me and my daughter go through bad times. I hope that you help me to transfer the money in France, if possible on your account, help me in the steps and help me to enter Europe.

I promise you (1.2 million euros) if you help me.
