EXAMPLE # 8 FROM:MR STEVE KABILA
TEL:27-73-131-6566
EMAIL:stevekabila116@yahoo.com
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL
ATTN:DIRECTOR/C.E.O
I have the honor and confidence to introduce to you this business in
view of
the fact that you are trustworthy and reliable in business. Obviously,
you
will be surprised to read this letter from me, but consider it as a
request
from a family in dare need of foriegn assistance. My mother got your
contact information through a family friend working in Johannesburg
Chamber
of Commerce and Industry.
I am MR.Steve Kabila, the first son of the second wife of Laurent
Kabila,
the immediate past President of Democratic Republic of Congo. Before
the
death of my father, he deposited US$ 25.Million(TWENTY FIVE MILLION US$
DOLLARS) in my mother" name ( MARY KABILA) in a safe box of a
private
Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa.He did this because of
the
love and how intimate he was with my mother. He wanted to use this
money for
campaign for the next election, but unfortunately his own body guard
assassinated him. Now, my mother saw it as an opportunity to divert the
money for her own personal use because the first wife and her son
(President) did not know about this money and moreover they are not in
good
terms with us.Right now, we are living in South Africa as political
asylum
seekers and the financial laws of South Africa do not permit us certain
financial rights. In view of this, we can not invest this money in
South
Africa that is why my mother is asking you to assist us transfer this
money
out of South Africa for investment in your country.
At the conclusion, that is when the money must have been in your
account, I
propose to give you 25% of the amount, 70% will be for me and 5% will
be set
aside for any expenses both parties might incure during the
transaction.
Please, note that this business is 100% risk-free and our only worry is
the
safety of this money. Once it gets into your account, we want you to
assure
us the safety of this money. If you are interested send to me your
private
telephone/fax number for the confidentiality of this business.I assure
you
that if you show me your readiness and trust in the next 3 working
days,
this business will be concluded.
My dear even if you are not interested kindly get back to me so that I
can
as well look for some one else that can help me out of this terrible
situation.I look forward for your reply through the above email.
Best Regard,
STEVE KABILA
(ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER)

I AM MR.SAMER IZAR ,THE AUDITTING MANAGER OF INTERNATIONAL BANK OF

ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY

AMOUNT WAS U.S$ 7.5M (SEVEN MILLON FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US 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. THE TRANSFER OF
THIS
FUND WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIM AS
THE
NEXT OF KIN TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE THE
FUND
WILL BE RE-TRANSFERRED AFTER PAYMENT APPROVAL IS GRANTED.THE BANKING
LAW AND
GUIDLING HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH FUND REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER TEN
YEARS IT WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED
FUND.THE
REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASSIONED BY
THE
FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS
NEXT
OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.

RISK
FREE. AND ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION,YOU WILL BE ENTITLED

EXAMPLE # 11 FROM THE DESK OF MR SAIDOU ISSIAKA
BILL AND EXHANGE UNIT
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
URGENT ASSISTANCE IN TRANSACTION
I am the manager at the bill and exchange department bank of
african(ADB)here in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso.
In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$18.2m dollars (
USdollars)in
an account that belonging to one of our foreign customer.Who died along
with
his entire family in Monday,31 July, 2000 in a plane crash in
paris.Please
visit this site that is one of the evidence the directors brought in
other
to swallow the money at the end ofthe
day,http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm"
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we
cannot
release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but
unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside
with him
at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore
upon
this discovery that I 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
bill.The
banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this
business
is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this
money
will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account
,10%will
be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be
for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according
to
the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of
this
fund to your desiggnited bank account ,you must apply first to the bank
as a
relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application that
i
will send to you,so i will like you to send to me your private
telephone and
faxnumber 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 this
transaction
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. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Dear p/s reply this email thanks
Yours Faithfully, Mr.Saidou Issiaka.ADB)

EXAMPLE # 14 Dear Friend,
My Compliment to you,
I guess this letter will come to you as a surprise since I had no
previous correspondence with you. I am sending you this mail on behalf of
the tender board of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
Chairman, Prof. Maurice Iwu. We came across your contact in our search for
a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction involving
the transfer of Nine Million, Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand United
States Dollars (US$9.570M).
The above fund is not connected with arms, drugs or money laundering,
it is the product of an over invoiced contract awarded in 2005 by INEC
to a foreign company for the supply of electronic voters machines needed
for the 2007 generation electoral registration.
The contract has just been executed and payment of the actual contract
amount has been paid to the foreign contractor. The balance of the
actual contract is what my colleague and I now want to transfer out of
Nigeria into a reliable foreign account for our personal use.
As civil servants we are not allowed to run foreign accounts. Hence we
have chosen you to front and support us as the beneficiary to be paid.
If you are interested in the proposal kindly get back to me by sending
me your letter of acceptance along with your direct telephone and fax
numbers. For your support and partnership, please reply me to negotiate
your fees or the percentage you wish to be paid when the funds are
transferred into your bank account.
Thank you as I await your response.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ahmed Suleman.
