For your attention,

I hope that you will treat this proposal with utmost concern and urgency as it comes as a surprise to you. I’m Col. Ahmed Dagar, a Chadian and also a commandant of the Rebel force led by the former diplomat, Sir. Mahamat Nouri, a leader of Chad’s main Opposition Alliance,who is fighting war to overthrow the current government of President Idriss Deby,who has been accused of running a corrupt government by mismanagement of our newly discovered Crude Oil resources.

I and my colleague were assigned by Sir. Mahamat Nouri to procure arms (Fairly Used-Light Fighter Aircraft/Helicopter and Skyrockets) worth of $32,000,000.00 (Thirty two Million United States Dollars) with independent arms dealers here is South Africa to continue rebellion which we didn’t support in anyway and have vowed to God to assist stop further blood sheds in Chad .

Upon our arrival to South Africa on 3rd of October 2007, we then decided to divert these funds for our private use. Hence this information, we have carefully deposited the funds in a private security firm pending when we find a reliable investment partner, since we frankly, don’t want to invest the funds in our names and particulars for security reasons.

We therefore solicit for your assistance in investing these funds here in South Africa or any part of the world.

Conditions:

-You’ll not disclose the source of these funds now or forever.
-The investment of these funds must be shared in an agreed terms and
conditions
-The transaction/Investment must be kept as a TOP SECRET.

If you agree to this proposal, you are kindly required to contact us immediately using the above informations for more details.

Thanks,

Col. Ahmed Dagar

Hey, lookey here, I won a lottery in the UK that I never bought a ticket for or even heard of. What are the odds!?!?!?!

Funny, they seem to have the commas in the wrong places, or is that supposed to be a decimal point at the end. I cannot tell if it is a hundred million or one million or what. Batch numbers, and luck number references? Sucker number 29...

These are amusing. This one is an 'obscured business suggestion'. Gott'a love the bad Engrish. I guess I am related to some General Mohammed Ali? I thought he was a boxer... go figure.

FROM: Liu Yan
Bank of China Ltd.
13/F. Bank of China Tower
1 Garden Road
Hong Kong,


THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION

I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete
intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my best option of
communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation
to ignore it as frivolous could come into your mind; but please consider it a
divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility

This letter must surprise you because we have never meet before neither in
person nor by correspondence,but I believe that it takes just one day to meet
or know someone either physically or through correspondence.

I got your contact through my personal search, you were revealed as being
quite astute in private entrepreneurship,and one has no doubt in your ability
to handle a financial business transaction. I am Liu Yan a transfer
supervisor operations in investment section in Bank of China Ltd. Secretariat
of the BOCHK Charitable Foundation 13/F. Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden
Road,Hong Kong I have an obscured business suggestion for you.Before the U.S
and Iraqi war our client General Mohammed Jassim Ali who work with the Iraqi
forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar
months, with a value of (I will disclose amount upon your reply) in my branch.

Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even early in the war,again
after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from
him,We later find out that General Mohammed Jassim Ali 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 General Mohammed
Jassim Ali 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,
(I will disclose amount upon your reply) 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 3 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 General Mohammed Jassim Ali so that
you will be able to receive his funds.I want you to know that I have had
everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.

I have contacted an attorney who will prepare the legal documents that will
back you up as the next of kin to General Mohammed Jassim Ali, all what is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Names, private phone number 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 transfer of the funds to an account that will
be provided by you with my guidance.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 discuss the percentage issue on your reply.

If you are interested please send me your full names and current residential
address, and I will prefer you to reach me on my private and secure email
address below and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of
this operation.

Best Regards

Liu Yan

Wait, so how much do you have to pay to get money back!?

I love these emails, theres soo many of them.

I like this one, it's new to me.

I found it in the link in Jackaranda Thread.

By Katrina Manson — GlobalPost
Published: October 30, 2009 07:25 ETLONDON, U.K. — Recently I received an email labeled "Strictly Confidential" from Dr. Bakare Tunde, who said he was astronautics project manager at Nigeria’s space agency. He also told me he was the cousin of the first African in space, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde, and that this poor intrepid astronaut had been stranded on a secret Soviet military station ever since the Soviet Union dissolved in 1990.

“He is in good humor,” read the email, “but wants to come home.” No wonder he was keen to hurtle back earthwards, Tunde told me his cousin had accumulated almost $15 million in pay. For the price of my bank account details, I could claim 20 percent and fly the brave chap home to collect my portion of the earnings and transfer the rest on to him like the good space-supporter that I was."


Nigeria space agency is no joke

Bruce Hopf

I get these emails all the time to. One was from some General of the USA armed forces, declaring had found some odd million in Baghdad, and wanted to put it into an account for me to hold. I sent him a reply, asking him if he was for real, and serious. I never got a reply to my email. What a joke. Bruce.

This one looks "official" from the Committee of Foreign Payment, Office of the Finance Minister, Nigeria. Of course, the entire government there in Nigeria is probably in on the global internet scams.

Funny thing though, I do not have any relations in Nigeria. Most distant cousins that I have are in Australia and Norway. Maybe one of my Viking ancestros in Norway moved to Nigeria and I have distant relations there, eh? I mean, what are the odds? About the same as getting $10 million?
