    MR. Debor Kobello
    ADDRESS:
    NO 24 ADENIYI JONES IKEJA
    LAGOS-
    NIGERIA,
    Tel-234-1-2481116

    Dear friend

    Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.I am an
    Accountant with the Bills and Exchange Department, Foreign
    Remittance office of African Express Banking Corporation (AEBC).

    I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and
    co-operation to carry out this transaction.
    We discovered an abandoned sum of US$25. 5Million (twentyfive
    million five hundred thousand US Dollars) in an account that
    belongs to one of our Foreign customer who died along side his
    entire family in November 1997 in a plane crash.

    Since this development, we have advertised for his next of kin
    or any close relation to come forward to claim this money, but
    nobody came to apply for the claim.

    To this effect, I and two other officials in my office, have
    decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who can stand in
    as the next of kin to the deceased and claim this money. We need
    a foreign partner to apply for the claim because of the fact
    that the customer was a foreigner and we don't want this money
    to go into the Bank's Treasury as unclaimed fund.

    Every document to affect this process will emanate from my table
    and I will perfect every document to be in accordance with the
    banking law and guidelines, So you have nothing to worry about.
    We have agreed that 20% of the money will be for you, 10% for
    expenses incurred on both sides, 10% will be donated to the
    charity organization while 60% will be for my colleagues and I.

    If you are going to help me, indicate by replying this letter and
    putting in your PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
    I await your immediate reply to enable us start this transaction
    in earnest.

    Once I receive your reply, I will send you the Text of Application for im=
    mediate
    of claim.
    Please reply me with this e-mail address.
    Thanks for your anticipated assistance.
    Waiting for your reply

    Yours faithfully,
    MR. Debor Kobello

    CONFIDENTIAL MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

    FROM: MR. CHEUNG PUI
    Hang Seng Bank Ltd
    Sai Wan Ho Branch
    171 Shaukiwan Road
    Hong Kong.


    Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui
    director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Sai Wan
    Ho Branch. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
    Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem
    who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a
    numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value
    of Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State
    Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was
    sent to him, even during the war early last year. Again
    after the war another notification was sent and still no
    response came from him. We later find out that the Major
    and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb
    blast that hit their home.

    After further investigation it was also discovered that
    Major Fadi Basem 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 millions 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 4
    years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong
    Kong 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
    Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his
    funds.

    WHAT IS TO BE DONE:

    I want you to know that I have had everything planned out
    so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an
    attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will
    back you up as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem, all
    that is required from you at this stage is for you to
    provide me with your Full Names 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 letter of
    probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an
    account that will be provided by you.

    There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are
    going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will
    prepare 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 share in the ratio of 70%
    for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested please send
    me your full names and current residential address and
    finally after that i shall provide you with more details of
    this operation. I will prefer that you reach me via this
    email (cheung_p100@yahoo.com.hk) or by Tel/Fax Number:
    +852-301-58197 for now, before I can provide a confidential
    telephone number for security purpose.

    Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

    Kind Regards,
    Mr. Cheung pui.

    Exclamation

    Hey...wait a minute....JUST WAIT ONE STINKIN' MINUTE....!!!

    Quote:
    20% of the money will be for you, 10% for expenses incurred on both sides, 10% will be donated to the charity organization while 60% will be for my colleagues and I.

    That's entirely unfair!! I will not absolutely budge unless I get 50% of the money, 10% for expenses, 40% for your colleagues and yourself, and of course, screw charity.

    Attn: The President

    Dear Sir
    BUSINESS PROPOSAL / CONFIDENTIAL
    May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion with you by an informal letter of this sort? It is pertinent that a business of this Magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting between You and us to enable both parties know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of both parties and appropriate shares accordingly. But as a result of the urgency of this operation I have decided to contact you by fax to hear from you first before planning on the next line of action.
    My Name is Johannsen Curt, I a vault Manager with a security company here in Germany. This transaction if handled with outmost care and secrecy will be successfully concluded within 10 days. In the year 2003 before the beginning of the American led Coalition war in Iraq, a deposit of a consignment was made here in our company by the late son of the former president of Iraq Saddam Hussein Mr. Qusai Hussein who was recently killed by the American Soldiers in Iraq.
    This deposit was made by Ouasai Hussein personally and no one in my office at this moment knows that this consignment belongs to him only me and the one other Computer Lodgment officer in our company. We have tried to investigate the content of this box and found out that the consignment contains money and in cash, worth US$35,000.000.00 (thirty Five Million Dollars), No one else in our office knows about the content and the owner of this consignment as this was declared as family valuables.
    We have therefore decided to find a way to take away this consignment from our office and move the money out. Hence we are looking for a trust worthy person internationally who will come forward to claim this consignment.
    I have made necessary arrangements for the change of ownership of this
    consignment to anybody name who is willing to work with us within 3
    working days of receipt of the information, we will need from you, we will do the change of ownership, so that no one in our office will ever know what is going on and move the consignment away from here to any of our company agents outside Germany to any other part of Europe where it will be easy to claim the items. Open a Bank account and distribute the cash.
    If this proposal meets your interest please get back to me immediately by on my alternative email (johansencurt@echina.com) giving me your telephone numbers to enable me give to you further details on how we have planned to carry this operation smoothly. Your urgent response waited

    Yours faithfully

    Mr. Johansen Curt.

    And that was almost 18 months ago now ...........

    Also, in the header, I can't find any identifying details of MY address ?

    Unless, of course, you can see different
    Which makes me think it's been sent out BCC [cheapskate / non-techy method of mass mailing ]

    Anyway, it's one more for the pot.

    Hi Eg :
    that lot are in the header of your EMails.
    In OE, RClick the mail in the In-Box, select properties, details, message source.
    A window will open with all this ID on it.

    Where the xxxx.xxxx@xxx.xxx are, is where MY EMail address was. changed for security reasons [mine ]
    The [200.53.64.61 as an example] numbers are the various IP addresses that the mail came from.

    You can use various tools to find out quite a lot about who sent it, where they sent it from.

    I'd advise reading tuts / books on TCP/IP to get a handle on it.
    quick and dirty :
    paste the numbers into google,
    some actually work.


    Plus you can see that they say Nigeria, BUT EMail is from mx = Mexico.
    so now I'm in my SIXTIES FFS
    WTAF, how did that happen, so no more alterations to the sig, it will remain as is now

    Dearest Valued Friend,

    Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not
    met,permit me however It is with deep sense of honour and respect that I
    humbly make this appeal to you with the understanding that any fact/s or
    opinion/s expressed in this letter are given in confidence and solely for your personal information and use. .If it does not interest you ,discard the mail but if it makes sense to you, I open my arms wide to do business with you

    Details OF THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL

    I am MR.Marcus Milton,a Zimbabwean Farmer. I am contacting you as the need for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my plans to relocate and establish a private company in that region, as the present political instability in the country (Zimbabwe), does not encourage financial investment as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all security is not guaranteed,just as reported by the International media. This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a decree on May 31st 2001 to seize more than 6000 white-owned farms. So far, more than 5,400 white owned farms have been invaded, properties confiscated and farm lands seized. During these
    periods, as reported by the international media and C.N.N, more than 500 white farmers were killed, the government didn't stop at this, as just recently the government have asked all white-farmers to give up
    their farms to black farmers or risk going to prison.

    Having lived in this country (Zimbabwe) for more than 35 years, I have no
    other country to go to, nor can I trace any of my distant relatives.
    Therefore, I decided to contact you for your assistance so that I can
    establish a company in your country and relocate there. Also, I must
    re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front as
    the owner of the enterprise, due to the fact that I will be a foreigner in your country.

    I have deposited in a BANK all the funds realised from the
    sales of my farmland and other farming equipment which amounted to
    USD8.5,000,000.00 (Eight million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) which I intend to start a new life with and do business with you as soon as I relocate.

    For now, I stay in Lagos because Zimbabwe is highly unsafe for me and my
    family. You can mail your immediate response to me. Upon your immediate
    response with the good intentions to help, I will immediately instruct the BANK to make swift online wire transfer of the funds to any of your nominated BANK account.I will arrange for and send to you all the documentation that will empower your good self in finalizing the transaction.I;e Power of Attorney, certificate of deposit,insurance certificate and a contract agreement by will be duely signed by both parties.Let me use this opportunity to also inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free and should also be handled in the most confidential manner.

    I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for your assistance, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever option you choose, feel free to notify me. If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 75% that is meant for me, will be for the investment in your country. So based on the above, it is important you communicate with me. On the event that you cannot assist me to do the business, I beg you to still keep my contact and existence of my fund a secret.I also want to make available from my share of the funds the sum of one million dollar (USD 1,000,000.00) to the TSUNAMI
    VICTIMS as my kind heart felt for the survivals.

    I also require you make available to me your confidential telephone and fax numbers to enable me comminicate with you easily.

    Sincere Regards,

    Marcus Milton.

    Hi foxyloxley,

    I never get to see my junk mail so I've never got one of those yet that I know of...my ISP has a virus and junk mail protection service...so all that stuff goes directly into a spamaccount that I have to go to and access with a password....I'm suppose to go there to decide which to forward to my account or delete...or it's automatically deleted after 14 days I think.

    how do you manage to get so many of these things?
