PRIVATE LINE 00228 907 8630

My dear Friend,

Pardon me for the mode that I have chosen to contact you,
inappropriate maybe,but prompted by utmost need and urgency.Be informed
that this is a sensitive proposition for assistance that must be kept
between the two of us in confidence. Express your acceptance of this
term when you respond.

I am Mr.Morgan Smith,the Head of the FOREIGN OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT. BANQUE TOGOLAISE POUR LE COMMERCE ET L`INDUSTRIE of Togo in
West Africa. I am contacting you for a transaction that will be mutually
beneficial.

My bank has on its list of "Dormant" accounts, one in the name
of a John Schelpert, formerly a resident in Lome, Togo, and owned
SCHELPERT & BROTHERS TRADING COMPANY SARL in Lome, Republic of Togo. He
died in the United States on 30th of October 1999. He did not leave a
Beneficiary to be reached in such event.

This bank account has been under the dormant status for more
than three years now without any claim for the fund in our custody
having been made. The said account contains the amount of USD$8.5M (
Eight million, five hundred thousand in US$).The plan for you to put
claim over this fund as the bona fide Beneficiary to the deceased, get
the required approval and transfer this money to your account has been
put in place by myself and a couple of my key co-wokers, myself being in
the Foreign Operations Dept.Directives and needed information will be
given as soon as you indicate your desire to assist us. It will be worth
noting that, as far as you have insiders like us to work with in this
very scheme, this is 100% risk free.


On conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30%
of the total sum,being your reward for your valued assistance, 5% will
go toward the offsetting of any incurable transfer and taxation fees etc.
The remaining 65% will be shared between us bankers. We will be
monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the
money in your account, then we
will come to
your country for our share.

You are required to be physically present here or to engage the
services of a local Lawyer. If you can do your part, take your share and
keep it as a `TOP SECRET`,then respond immediately, sending your full
name, address, private email address and contact phone number, failure
to send these details of you requested herein
when you respond, will indicate your unwillingness to assist in this
regard,and will meet with my silence.


Yours faithfully,

Mr.Morgan Smith

Ive got a similar email:
am ______ a Liberian by Birth. I am
the Personal Assistant to late Mr Gerald Smith a
foreigner (American), who was a contractor to African
Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria. On the 31st
October, 1999,Mr Gerald Smith and his wife Barbara
were involved in a Plane crash on Egypt Air Flight 990
in one of their numerous trips.Since the news was well
announced on CNN you may view the link below for your
record;
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
Unfortunately they both lost their lives in the plane
crash.Since then I have made several enquiries to the
American Embassy here and the home address he filled
in his file to locate any of his extended relatives
are not valid.Since I have never been to the U.S
,everything has proved unsuccessful.After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to use the
Internet to locate any member of his family, but to no
avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to
assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by Mr Gerald Smith before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge
money is deposited. Particularly, the FINANCE HOUSE
where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$21M (twenty one million dollars). Consequently,the bank
issued me a notice to provide the next-of- kin which
was his wife or have the account confiscated according
to the law. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating
the relatives for over 3 years now,I seek your consent
to present you as the next-of-kin of the deceased
since you are also a foreigner so that the proceeds of
this account valued at US$21M can be paid to you and I.
We shall share the money thus: 70% to me and 25% to
you, while 5% will be used to re-imburse any expenses
that might be incurred on both ends and to service the
tax that might be incurred in your country. I have all
the necessary legal documents that will be adjusted to
favour you and to back up any claim we may make. All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.

TELE+228 9 181271.
PRIATE:collins888uk@yahoo.co.uk

Dear Sister,

I AM COLLINS GREG THE AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through the website your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of $18.5 million US dollars (EIGHTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRAD THOUSAND US DOLLARS). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Mr John Schelpert from united states of america who died along with his entire family in October,1999 in a plane crash.

Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after long period, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family. We agreed that 25% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction and 70 % would be for me and my colleagues.

There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awareness as we are civil servants. We can conclude this operation within ten banking days.

Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you want.May God be with you. Trusting to hear from you shortly for a detailed information which are
confirmable before you can make up your mind to apply.

Peace and love always.

Best regards.

Collins Greg.

FROM THE DESK OF DR.BOB EMMANUEL
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPARTMENT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
COTONOU,REPUBLIC OF BENIN.WEST AFRICA.
TEL:00229-647-883
ALTERNATIVE EMAIL ADDRESS:drbob2300@yahoo.fr

ATTN:My Dear,
  
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

After due deliberation ,I decided to forward this business proposal to you
because I am very much interested to enter into a mutual business relationship
with you, after going through your profile.due to the fact that I want a
reliable person who can assist me.

I am a Manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department
Of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF BENIN. I am writing following the impressive
information about you through an internet business proposal.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5M, Us dollars (Ten
million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 30/JANUARY/2000
IN THE PASSENGER PLAN CRASH WITH KENYA AIRWAYS AIRBUS A310-304 5Y-BEN.IN
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE(IVORY-COAST).
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody applies forit as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated
in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately I learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane
clash leaving no body behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and I don?t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
bill.

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Two years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasure
as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninois
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me. There after
I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arrange,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next or kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account, your private telephone and
fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the
money will be remitted.
upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business
is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact
me immediately as soon as you receive this letter on my private line Trusting
to hear from you immediately.

Yours faithfully,

DR.BOB EMMANUEL.

From Dr TOFA IBRAHIM
Audit & Account Manager
Continental Trust Bank Of Monaco
Websit:www.continentaltrustbank.com .


Dear friend,

I am Dr TOFA IBRAHIM, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Continental Trust Bank Monaco.  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 October 31st
1999 in a plane crash and the fund 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 keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of transfer. The said amount was (U.S $10.5M UNITED STATES
DOLLARS).

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directivesand
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self 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(A Banker),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 with affidavit of trust of oath 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 our correspondent branch where the whole money will be
remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction,  Please, you have been adviced to
keep "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,eitherin your country or any country you advice us to investin.

All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you .I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in
this deal.
Go through this web site and see the deceased person name John Schelpert.

Yours faithfully

Lome Togo.

Attn:Sir/Madam,

Dear as it may be of your keen interest, I am Barister Moses Uchendu,a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr Hamed Abdel Wahab Ahmed a contractor with Shell Oil Development Company S.A.R.L in Lome Togo, Here in after referred to as my client.

who on aboard EgyptAir Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31,1999 Ref. website http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
and unfortunately lost his life with his entire family known to me .

Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here to locate any of my clients further extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to look for someone who can collaborate with me to get his money out of the bank here instead of losing it to the Government treasury. I am contacting you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$14.5 million left behind by my client before it is transfered to the government treasury or declared unclaimable by the bank where this huge amount is deposited.

The said bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have this account transfered to the Government treasury if no response is gotten within their next Board Meeting.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating anymore relatives for over 5 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information needed to back you up for this claim.

I require your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me.

I will secure the High Court mandate to claim this money in your name ever before the application for claim is made in your name.
Please get in touch with me to enable me know your stand.

Dear  ,

With good faith i have come to you about this Legitimate Business of mine, but i must first introduce myself to you.

I am  Elder Maxwell Johnson. The manager Credit and Account Department of Apex Global Trust and Finance Security Company"AGTFSC" Lome Togo.

I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit belonging to a foreigner, Late Mr. Arthur Smith of America, with account #AGTFSC/1001/44986-00/tg. Who perished on the plan crash of 31st of  october,1999 with egyptian airline 990 with other passengers aboard. Since the demise of Smith, I personally have watched with kin interest to see any next of kin or beneficiary to this deposit but no one has come up for the claim of usd$14.5m(fourteen million, five hundred thousand united states dollars)has being in our security vault for a very long time. On this note, i decided to seek for your noble assistance to help me come for the release and transfer of this fund into any of your nominated bank account abroad, In the sense to make you the beneficiary to this unclaimed deposit. As no one both friends and relatives has come up as the next of kin to this deposit and our banking ethnics here does not allow such deposit to stay more than six years, because after six years the money will be confiscated into the nations treasury as an unclaimed deposit.

In view of this, I got your contact in my country's trade journal after which i was convinced to contact you and introduce this business with you as a foreigner. The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that, the customer was a foreigner and a togolaise can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I have agreed to share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%/35%. You keep 35% while i keep 65%, How about that? Thereafter i will visit your country for mutual sharing between both of us. Bear in mind also that i would like to invest my own part of the share in your country. As i am almost due for retirement. For us to proceed towards this transaction, you have to send an application text to the security company as the next of kin to their deceased customer.

I will send to you a text of application which you shall re-type and send to the finance house, Upon your response to this mail. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangment has been perfected for the successfull claim and transfer of this fund.

Don't forget to keep this transaction a top confidential untill we achieve our goal.
Thank you and God bless you.
Waiting for your positive response.


Best Regards,
Elder Maxwell Johnson.

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 me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously

FROM MR MICHEAL UDOH.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
ECOWAS BANK, LOME- TOGO.

Dear Sohel ,

I am writing following the impressive information about your profile
through
the website your capability and reliability to champion this
opportunity. In
my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of (10.5 million US
dollars).
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died
along
with his entire family in 31st OCTOBER 1999 in a PLANE CRASH. Since we
got
this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
Kin to
come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody
applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in
our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his
supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the
accident
leaving no body behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to
make
this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next
of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since
nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go into the
Bank
treasury as unclaimed bills. The Banking law and guideline here
stipulates
that if such money remained unclaimed after long period, the money will
be
transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.


The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine cannot stand
as
next of kin to the deceased family. We agreed that 30% of this money
will be
for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this
transaction
and 60 % would be for me . Thereafter I  will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to
enable the
immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply
first to
the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your
private,
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and
location
where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will
send to
you by fax or e-mail the text of the application. I will not fail to
bring
to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free and that you
should
not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been
made
for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you
receive
this letter. I decided to contact you as you have products of interest
in
your part of the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid
peoples awareness as we are civil servants. We can conclude this
operation
withing ten banking days.

Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, By
phone 002289273855 all confirmable before you apply if you want.
May God be with you.

Trusting to hear from you shortly. Peace and love always.

IF YOUR CAPEBLE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSACTION, YOU WILL CONTACT ME
THROUGH THIS EMAIL ADDRESS  (udoh_micheal@rediffmail.com)

Best regards
MR MICHEAL UDOH

---------------------------------------------
Dear Friend,

First, I must apologise to you for using

this medium
to communicate about this

transaction, though it is my great
pleasure

in writing you this letter on behalf of my

colleague and
myself. I am Mr. Idrissa Diop

the Director of Bill and Exchange at
the

Foreign Remittance Department in the bank

where I work. I am
writing to you this

urgent proposal following the impressive

information about you through one of my

friends who runs a
consultancy firm. Though,

I did not disclose to him the nature of my

proposal to you to avoid any leakage. My

colleague and I have
decided to contact you

on a business transaction that will be very

beneficial to both of us at the end. I would

be brief and direct to
ensure you understand

everything properly.

In my department we
discovered an abandoned

Sum of $13.7M USD (Thirteen Million, Seven

Hundred Thousand US Dollars), in an account

that belongs to one of
our foreign

customers, an American by name: Mr. John

Schelpert who
died along with his wife and

other passengers in EgyptAir Flight 990
-

October 31, 1999. Since we got information

about his untimely
death, the fund has been

dormant in his account with my Bank without

any claim, we have been expecting his next

of kin to come over and
claim his money

because we cannot release it unless somebody

applies for it as next of kin or relation to

the deceased and the
person must be a

foreigner as indicated in our banking

guidelines.
Before our observation in this

development, we discovered that the
owner of

the account died without a Heir/WILL hence

the money is
floating and if I do not remit

this money out urgently it will be
forfeited

for nothing. The Banking law and guideline

here
stipulates that if such money remained

unclaimed after Six (6) years,
the money

will be transfered into the Bank treasury

account as
unclaimed fund. It is therefore

upon this discovery that I and my
junior

colleague in the bank now decided to make

this businness
proposal to you and release

the money to you as the next of kin or

relation to the deceased for safety and

subsequent disbursement since
nobody is

coming for it and we do not want this money

to go into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed

Bill.

Meanwhile the whole
arrangement to put claim

over these fund as the bonafide next of kin

to the deceased and transfer this money to a

foreign account has
been put in place.

Directives and needed information will be

relayed to you as soon as you indicate your

interest and willingness
to assist us and

also benefit from this great business

opportunity.
We could have done this deal on

our own, but because of our position
in this

country operating a local account 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 foreigner
as second party that will

forward claims as the next of kin to the

Bank and also present a designated safe

foreign account where he will
need the money

to be transferred into after due

verification and
clearification by the bank.

May I at this point emphasize that this

transaction is a successful arrangement, and

as an insider of the
bank I have the

capacity to monitor that everything is

smoothly
perfected. On smooth conclusion of

this transaction, you will be
entitled to

your own share of the total sum as

gratification We
have agreed that 20 % of

this money will be for you as our foreign

partner, in respect to the provision of a

foreign account, 5% will be
set aside for

expenses incured during the business and 75%

would be
for me and my colleague. There

after I and my colleague will visit
your

country for disbursement according to the

percentages
indicated.

This share of yours is negotiable as long as

it is
reasonable. Please, you have been

adviced to keep this information a
topsecret
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

we shall
agree upon. All other necessary

information will be sent to you on
your

acceptance to champion this transaction with

us. I suggest you
get back to me as soon as

possible, stating your wish in this deal.

Please do call me on my direct line for more

clearifications: 00 221
560 3589.

Thanks and best regards.
  
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Idrissa
Diop
Telephone: 00 221 560 3589
