FINANCIAL TRUST BANK OF AFRICA
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
WEST AFRICA.
TEL:+229 44 78 77.
ATTN:Shawn,
I am Mr.Edwin Morgan, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of financial trust bank of Africa cotonou benin republic in
west
Africa with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be
very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
26th
December 1998 on Airline Transafrik International with aircraft
Lockheed
L-100-30 at location Vila Nova, Angola with registration number S9-CAO
while
travelling with his entire family, his wife, two children and a maid on
a festive visit to Angola and since his untimely death the funds has
been
dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in
our
custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.
Although personally,i kept this information secret within myself and
partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during
the
time of execution.
The said amount was USD$24.1M (Twenty four Million One Hundred Thousand
united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know,i got your impressive information
through
my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business
relations
here in Cotonou-Benin, it is him who recommended your person to me to
be
viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitudewithout any
problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide
next of kin to the deceased and get the required approval and transfer
this
money to a foreign account has been put in place, all
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
yourself
to this great business opportunity.
In fact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a
foreign
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time
of transfer because i work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who
will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a
foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request
as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent
branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your
own
designated bank account.
May i at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free
as
i have made all arrangements for a successful transaction as an insider
of the bank before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30%
of
the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take
care
of any expenses that may arise during the time of transfer like
telephone
bills, fax and our travel tickets to come over to your country for the
sharing
of the fund while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please you have been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still
in
service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal
with
you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and
further
investment either in your country or any country you will advice us to
invest
in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance
to
champion this transaction with me.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible or you contact me on
my
private line 229 44 78 77 stating your wish in this deal.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Edwin Morgan.

I would just treat it as normal spam... Do you submit spam to the 'authorities'?

Call it and see what happens <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. I dare ya!
Not necessarily. Scam emails differ from advertising spam in that they actually are looking for email responses and are eager to pursue them.
Bear in mind that what these people are doing is illegal and people HAVE been killed on scams like this.
Basically it's people trying to scam large sums of money from stupid people. I say stupid people because the scammers have got money and have also killed people.
I got one of these too but I never thought of that at the time. Oh well, one scammer is as good as another. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I would under other circumstances consider stuff like this spam, but its not, its fraud, which is illegal.
And this popular African emial fraud is one that has been around for a long time etc. So in the very least Ill notify the email provider.
