However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Mr.Simon Smith Jr, the son of Dr. Stephen Smith who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe as a result of land dispute. Before the death of my father (Dr. Smith), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the sum of Ten Million United States dollars (US$10.000,000) in a security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which my father rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and Mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society, infact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father^Òs money to a foreign account. Since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred . I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. As a businessman, whom I have entrusted my future and my family in his hands, ! I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I need you to do for me is to make arrangement and come to AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, so that we can open the non-resident account which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend using for investment. I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for the transaction, 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. I have mapped out 5% of this money for all expenses incurred in processing the transaction. If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% that is meant for me, will be for the investment in your country. Please, contact me on the above Email,provide me with your telephone number so we can discuss further and a chance for you to ask me any question you may have in mind, while you maintain the absolute secrecy required in the transaction.i will give you my telephone number if necesary.please kindly get back to me with your detail contacts. Yours faithfully, MR.SIMON SMITH JR. Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 18:38:35 +0100 From: sam obi To: sam.obi@lycos.co.uk Subject: REQUEST FOR YOUR UNRESERVED Dr.Sam.Obi Dear Friend, I, on behalf of my colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards transfer of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million,five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) into your bank account. These funds emanated from unclaimed contractual proceeds of foreign contracting firms who could not meet their financial obligations to their creditors. We, as holders of sensitive positions in our various parastatals, were mandated by the Federal Government to scrutinise all payments made to certain foreign contractors and we discovered that some of the contractors have not been paid their contractual entitlement which collectively left the sum of US$15,500,000.00 (Fiftheen Million, five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) lying in a suspended Account. However, from our investigations, we discovered that the foreign beneficiary companies have since been liquidated, and to a ll intents and purposes no longer exist in Nigeria,thus providing us with this opportunity, provided that we have a capable partner, to execute a transaction of this nature. We agreed that the said amount would be transferred into an overseas Bank Account to be provided by a reliable foreign firm/associate. This is because as serving Government workers the Civil Service Code does not allow us to operate foreign Account. In our initial attempt to do this, we succeeded in transferring part of this amount US$5m (Five Million Dollars) into a United States Dollar Account in Beirut, Lebanon, but our foreign associate failed to honour our mutual agreement insisting instead that the total amount be transferred into the Account before we can share the money. As a result, we have lost confidence in the ability of our Lebanese partner to see this matter to its logical conclusion, and until the initial transaction is satisfactorily resolve d, we have cancelled further transactions with him. In the light of the foregoing, it is clear that we require a partner that is not only capable of rendering assistance and cooperation in executing this matter, but will honour the terms of agreement when we reach the concluding stages of this transaction. We therefore offer the amount of 20%Of the entire sum in return for services/assistance rendered in successfully carrying out this project. We trust that you appreciate the sensitive nature of this matter and the need for initial caution on our part, but when a relationship is confidently established and operations commence you will be provided with all relevant information. I remain at your disposal to entertain any questions/enquiries relating to this proposition and you may contact me as a matter of urgency via e-mail for further information on the procedures and requirements of this transaction. In your replyremember to indic ate a safe telephone number where I can always reach you. Hope to hear from you soon.Please treat with the strictest confidentiality and expediency .

Valuable efforts have been made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Claude's Family or Relatives but to no success.

Since we have no place or person to turn to for assistance, I feel it is very necessary to bring to your notice, the problems we are going through, now, I am a very optimistic that you owe a moral obligation to look into our plight and come to our rescue, thus my writing to you. I got your contact through the directory,after due consideration and believed that your must be a trustworthy and reliable person that will not like to intimidate me or betray my trust after hearing this news. I am a Native of Konobo in the local District of Sierra Leone in West African region and the first eldest son of late Major Massarah Ekun Zubairu, who died about eight months now. My father served in the Military regime of Major Paul Johnny Koroma that ousted the civilian government of President, Ahmad Tijan Kabbah, as a special duty officer overseeing the affairs of the AFRC Military force that overthrown the then civilian government. However they were forcefully ousted by the ECOMOG peace keeping force that came to restore peace and they was granted political asylum to reside in Abidjan-Côte d'Ivoire (A neighbouring Country) until his death and where we are still residing up till now. As the first son among Eleven Children from two (2) wives of my late father, I and the entire family wish to let you know that we inherited our father's Property and wealth of cash sum of US$ 12,000.000.00 ( Twelve Million U.S.Dollars) this money was his own share of the money gotten during his service days in the then military tenue, Purportedly meant for the welfare of the AFRC force. Through a diplomatic connections, the boxes containing the money was possibly brought down from Sierra Leone to Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and deposited with a financial security company for safe keeping with the help of his friend in the security company. His ( my father ) intention was to open an Bank account in Switzeland and transfer the money for foreign investments, but later declined from this intention as his illness deteriorated of which eventually lead to his untimely death. However, I was just contacted by a friend of my father ( in the security company ) advising me to move the money out of Côte d'Ivoire to a foreign account due to the recent political situation in this country. Now my problem is to negotiate with a foreign partner who is reliable and honest to confide my trust upon my intention to move this money out immediately, as I do not want this money here neither would I like to involve any local person/s in this affair, because it is private and I do not want to lay hands to this money until I concluded all arrangement with a foreign partner and moved this money to an overseas Bank Account. Please, my reason of contacting you is to request for your co-operation and assistance to help my family move this money out to foreign Bank account of yours,by providing a Bank account either company's or private account where the fund can be remitted, alternatively, you can open an account with $100 dollars in your name and send the account details to enable me arrange for the transfer. Note: that the modalities of this transaction is subject to negotiation between us and we have decided to give out (US$2 Million dollars)Two Million United States Dollars to any one who would assist my family finalise this project. To prove my sincerity, I will like you to visit Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire in person to see things for yourself, because seeing is believing and also to bear in mind that my father was never accused in any form of embezzlement by our country's government or any government /person, but made this money during his service days in the military regime. Please note that this arrangement is confidential. Please be rest assured that there is no risk of any sort behind this money as the money is just as mine. Please do contact me immediately through my above Telephone number 225 07611835 for more directives on modalities on how we can move this money immediately.

Because of the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death I can not contact any of my fathers friends to assist me in recovering this fund since I do no longer trust anybody. Presently, I have been able to get all the particulars that will enable me establish claim to this fund but I cannot do this alone without the assistance of an outsider who does not have any relationship with my country. It will be impossible for me to divulge all the needed information concerning these funds to you now until I am sure I can trust you adequately. I have contacted you hoping that I can trust and rely on you. Your assistance will be highly financially compensated and I am willing to negotiate with you whatever compensation you want.

His business associate on one of their business outing poisoned him to death.

From guelsp@go.com Thu Dec 12 08:50:48 2002 Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 21:22:15 -0800 (PST) From: help help To: pidoo@uymail.com Subject: MR GARUBA USENI ear Sir, My name is MR GARUBA USENI the eldest son of Rtd General JEREMAIAH. J. T.USENI who was the est. while Minister of the Federal Capital territory Abuja in the late GeneralSani Abachas Regime of 1993-1998. I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a moneytransfer of $60M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair,I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country. During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani Abacha as the head of state, they were both involved in several deals that yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Ammunitions to boost the Nigerian Defense, funds set to embark on an oversea campaign to counter the United States action to put a stop to the self succession bid of the Abacha^Rs government to retain power, and monies set aside to rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If you are conversant with world news, you would understand better. During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts. The then head of state General Sani Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissarto bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation agencies set up by the successive governments and most of the Abachas loots were traced and repatriated from the various accounts to the Federal Government Treasury. Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50 Million (Fifty Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign account and a sum of $60M (Sixty Million Dollars) was kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abacha^Rs Family, the N50 Million was recovered by the investigating agency from the CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $60M, which he kept in the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds. Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the consignments. Note that I have these information in my custody. Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $60M is successfully transferred abroad for investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Is rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will be absolutely right when you say that this project is risk free and viable. If you are capable and willing to assist, contact me at once via email for more details. Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again. All my fathers^R friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. As it is said, "it is at the time of problems that you know your true friends". So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 20% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest. Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please; do not undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so much to gain. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. BEST REGARDS, MR GARUBA USENI.

From bafor_fog@mail.com Fri Jan 3 11:57:36 2003 Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 12:08:22 From: Abdul Gambo To: tony@math.sunysb.edu Subject: Buisness Proposal Dear Sir, I am writing this proposal hoping that you would be of assistance in this business of mutual benefit. My name is Abdul Gambo an auditor at one of the Banks in lagos-Nigeria. During our last audit exercise,some amount of money totalling $18.5Million was discovered and traced to be owned by one late Engineer Manfred Becker , a foreigner who died in a crash. The source of this fund was further traced to be a contract payment made to him but has remained unclaimed till now.Since his death, nobody has shown up to claim this fund and this attracted our curiosity. I therefore made a research and found out that he did not leave any next of kin in his confidential document with the Ministry that he executed the contract for and also with our Bank. A panel setup by the Federal Government on recovery of funds expects that this fund should be unquestionably claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively the fund should be donated for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Fervent valuable efforts were made by the Panel to get in touch with any of the family or relatives but all have proved to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any next of kin ( he had no wife and children) that the panel under the influence of our chairman, Rtd Major General Thomas Danababa , that arrangement is being made for the fund to be declared UNCLAIMABLED and then be donated to the Trust Fund for arms and ammunition which will further enhance the perpetration of war in Africa and the third world in general. To forestall this move, my colleagues and I have taken it upon ourselves to source for a foreign partner who could assist in claimimg this fund for further transfer abroad. I have been given the sole mandate to source for a partner as soon as possible to that effect.All documents and proof to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount if you agree to assist while 10% would be set aside to offset all expenses in course of the transfer and the rest would be for us for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is OK by you, and you do wish to take the advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly reach me immediately via my confidential e-mail or fax number +23417597019 furnishing me with your most confidential telephone and fax numbers and exclusive email so that I can forward to you the relevant details of the transaction.

Our Ref: JLTC/001/02 Your Ref: Date: 21 November, 2002 Dear Sir, I am Barrister James Thompson of James L. Thompson Chambers, Virgin Island, U.S.A., a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to [Mr. Frank Serres], an indigene of your country, who used to work as a Director with Gold Melting & Mineral Exporting Company, Accra Ghana, in West Africa. Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 17th of April 1999, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a fatal car accident along Accra - Kumasi Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security company where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the Univasal Security Company Accra, Ghana where the deceased had a Deposit valued at about US$45.2 million dollars. The search for the deceased next-of-kin became imperative since the security company has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the deposit confiscated after four years if not claimed and We have just one year left. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$45.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you after which we can then share the money between us. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation 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. Please get in touch with me through my e-mail or my fax numbers above, better still you can call me on my Mobile Phone for further discussion on this transaction. You may also, send your phone/fax number so that I can contact you. I look forward to your urgent response. Best Regards, BARR. JAMES THOMPSON.
