Mrs Moami Joel

Dearest in Christ,

I am Mrs Moami Joel from SIERRA LOENE. I am married to Joel Mark who worked with SIERRA LOENE embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2003.We were married for 25 years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian.Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $(5.5m) in a Security Company here in Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a servant of GOD that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth". I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives are around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in Abidjan. I will also issue you an authorisation letter that will proove you the present beneficiary of this fund.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.Contact me on my email any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

Hoping to receive your reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Your's Sister In Christ

Dear Sir,

I am soliciting for your interest for gold transaction, I have discussed with the local minners in the village who owns the Gold dust in Guinea Conakry as their representative. I have explained to them that I want to contact a capable person in abroad who has the resources and capability to buy all the gold dust that is on the floor.As you may knows these minners have 250 kg of Gold dust and bars deposited in a security vault in Guinee Conakry.

This gold is owned by the local Minners, these people instructed me to search for a capable person who will be their permanent buyers of the gold for four years. At the present, they are waiting for a reliable and capable person who will be disposing the gold for them. As you may know due to their inability to sell by themselves directly to the buyers,they contacted me to be their Representative on searching for a reliable and capable person abroad who will be handling the disposal of this gold dust for them.

They assured me that once you showed a sincere interest on working with them confidentially, they would sign contract with you on this respect.Consequently, they instructed me to inform who so ever I may trust to start coming to Guinea Conakry for the commencing of this project,

I assure you should not worry about your security as i will welcome you directly from the airport with an adquate security who will be guiding and protecting you until you leave the shores of Africa to abroad. As you may know,They told me that their positions in the government will expire in the next four years and that is the reason why you should enter into a contract with them for four years as they will be in position to be making the gold available for disposal through you for that four years.

Finally, on your arrival to Guinea Conakry, all of us will have a meeting and decide on the commission that will be given to me on each batch of transaction executed, forget about the price as i will bring the price to your favor per kg. and will help secure a visiting visa for you come to Guinee.

Will be waiting for your urgent response with your direct telephone number.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr Joe Kabuga.

Dear Colleague,

On a very happy note and bearing in mind the staunch commitment that you had put into the quest to see that the fund was transferred to you for claim as we had arranged but to no avail, I write to inform you that at last, the fund transfer had been a SUCCESS. Since all our effort in conjunction with yours were met with various failures and disappointments after the other, there was an influential party from Britain that was approached on our behalf by a Finance & Management Supports Initiatives (a consulting firm); and with her (influential party) imputes, the Fund was paid out and I have collected my own share.
Presently, I am in Ecuador where, in partnership with a core investor in the Mining Sector of their economy, we are investing in the industry.

But, I am not oblivious of the fact that you did your best in that context, although, it seem that element of doubt crept in. You were not to blame, as there were many circumstances that wouldin the reflect such scepticism to any reasonable being.

For your sincere but unfruitful sacrifices, I pressurized the influential woman to concede some amount as COMPENSATION to you, for the resource that you implunged even the time and inconveniences.

The sum of $US 800,000 was what she agreed to as your compensation value, and the sum was made in draft but, because of my appointment in Ecuador and too, I
could not get through to you since your number at any time indicated "not in use", I then handed it over to the Secretary of the Finance & Management Supports Initiatives, the consulting firm. His name is MR. CHRISTIAN MBA and his email: christian_mba33@yahoo.fr

The Secretary is very much informed by me about you and I instructed him to hand over the Draft you as soon as you contact him. I gave him the CODE 53455, which you have to mention for identification.

Frederic C. Wesson

Compliment of the day to you!

I am Fredrick C. Wesson the branch Manager of a commercial Bank here in United Kingdom. In the process of auditing our bank accounts this quarter, I discovered that there is a dormant account with the sum of Three Million British Pounds trapped in it. After thorough verifications and investigations, I discovered that the account owner is a foreigner and that he is dead.

This money can be paid to the relatives of our late customer only through our head office; I have contacted you to present you as the next of kin to the deceased before our head so that the money in the dormant account will be paid to you. The reason I contacted you to stand as the deceased next of kin is because the deceased operated this account secretly without the knowledge of anyone because he lied during his divorce that he didn't have any wealth except those he declared before the court and for this reason, he kept an open next of kin to this account. Since the dormant account is domiciled in my branch, I will provide you with all necessary information from my branch to back you up as the next of kin at our head office. I will also write a letter to our head office from my branch recommending that you are indeed the true next of kin to the deceased.

In view of this, I am seeking for your co-operation and understanding to stand as the next of kin to our deceased customer to enable us claim the fund from our bank. If this idea is accepted by you, kindly reply to me and upon your reply, I will give you details. On getting your response, we shall discuss on the percentage ratio to share the money upon conclusion. Note that this mail is intended to you the Director of the company.

Best Regards,

Mr. Fredrick C. Wesson

Having known my condition and I can not survive this cancer illness, and I don't want to lose my only son, I decided to transfer this fund and my son out of this country to your care.

I took this decision because I don't want to lose every thing my husband has worked for, and my husband relatives are not even good at all because they are responsible for the death of my husband in other to have all his properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by those that conspired for his death because they may return back to still kill my son if they have the opportunity. so please if you are willing and honest to assist me, kindly respond back to me , and as soon as I receive your reply of accepting to help me I will give you all the details including your percentage for assisting us.

Welcome to 419 Laughs

Ok I'll admit - its probably very tasteless to develop a blog around 419 Scams but this is one of those things that I've been wanting to do for ages.

For those who don't know, a 419 Scam is often linked to Nigerians and basically involves a person receiving an e-mail from "a dear friend" who would like to drop a gazillion or so dollars into your account... All they need is a couple of bucks from you to "facilitate" the transaction.

For more info please check out www.419eater.com to see some of the stories.

Anyways, one of the things that always amazes me is the sheer creativity that some of these authors come up with when crafting their letters to prospective marks. I'm going to be using this blog to post some of the most outrageous ones I receive and poke a little fun at the weirdos who write them...
