Dear John R. Chapman ,
I am Mrs. DANLA CHILE ,Ivorien widow with an only son DANIEL .
My husband was the chief security officer to the ousted President Henry BEDIE of Cote d'voire.During the over throw of 24th December 1999, my husband was among the people that were killed by the military. Since after his death, I ran away with my only son, I do hereby wish to ask for your assistance in urgent business transaction that requires absolute honesty and secrecy. Although I did not in any way disclose to my friend the details of this my proposal due to confidential nature of this transaction. By virtue of my husband's position. The former President(BEDIE)gave him US 20.000.000.00 Dollars(Twenty million US dollars) cash in US100.00 dollars bill stacked in a box when he got information that the militaries were planning to over throw him. Immediately my husband was confirmed dead, I made away with this box with my only son so that we can not be reached by Mr BEDIE. I have really been waiting for a more suitable time and opportunity to contact you concerning this transaction. Right now, the money is in a safe place, I deposited it with a security company for safe keeping. I am using this opportunity to seek for your assistance to move this money to your country, to be invested on behalf of my only son. For this business to be concluded immediately, all you need to do is to arrange to meet with me and my son where this box is been lodged, open an account in your name, pay in the whole money after clearing and transferring it to your chosen account. We can't do that on our own because we don't have account else where, moreover, we don't have any business to cover-up that is why we needed your assistance. I am ready to offer you 30% of the total sum and give you the full power to manage the remaining 70% on behalf of my son. Contact my son DANIEL where we are currently staying in a sister's house in LOME-TOGO. This money we deposited it in the best security company in LOME-TOGO. Upon conclusion of arrangement, we shall forward to you the certificate of deposit, and the phone and fax number of the security company for confirmation immediately. Please kindly send you reply to my alternative email address for security reasons at [email protected] Thanks and God bless you. Yours faithfully, Mrs.DANLA CHILE. --

From: David Tonah and sister, Abidjan- Republic of Cote d' Ivoire, West Africa.
My Dear, With utmost regards I crave your understanding of this proposal, I am David TONAH the son of late Dr. George G. TONAH the former Financial Controller of Cote d'Ivoire Telecommunication(CITELCOM) who was injured by the heat of the political crisis here in my country Cote d'ivoire and after some days, before he died in the hospital, and he handed over to us all documents where he deposited (US$6 million Us dollars) in the bank as the beneficiary contractor of the said company (CITELCOM).
I got a very recommendation of you in our private search and wish to propose this business to you in a strict manner and confidence. I am seeking your assistance for the Telegraphic Transfer of six million United States Dollars (US 6,000,000) to your account for further private investment and educational purposes in your country.
This amount to be transferred was accrued from an over-invoiced contract award for the construction of an underground telephone network to replace the former in the new capital city (Yamoussoukro) and other major cities also for installation of the microwave station awarded to my late father George G.TONAH in 2000 to expatriate companies.
The contract which was originally valued for ninety million United States dollars (US$90,000,000.00) was manipulated to read eighty four million united states dollars (US$84,000,000.00). The extra six million US$6 was deposited in a fixed deposit account by our late father and declared the money on behalf of his foreign partner overseas for security reasons, this is what I want to transfer to your account as the beneficiary / investor due for the deposit and payment.
This contract has been completely executed and the contractors have been paid all their bills completely. On your interest to assist me in this transaction, I require from you, a successful reply so that i will send you, the Bank contacts where this money is deposited, instructing them for the transfer of the $6 million Bank into your bank account. In conclusion of this transaction we will offer you 12% of the total amount, the rest will be released to us when we get to your country.
We have worked out all modalities concerning the transfer of this fund, so in this transaction you are required to treat it with the strictest confidence.
Thanks in Anticipation of your acknowledgement of this letter.
Waiting for your urgent response.
God bless you.
David Tonah and Rosemary.

Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability in prosecuting a business transaction of high net value requiring maximum confidentiality I am Barrister. Bello Personal Assistant to Alhaji Rewani Lukeman, the Presidential Adviser on Petroleum Matters.
Sir my message to you was based on some money that floated into the Government treasury due to the recent boom in the International Oil Market.
The Federal Government of Nigeria budgeted US$18.00 per barrel in last year budget, but the price was changed in the international oil market where by a barrel was sold between US$28-US$35.00. We recorded excess gain, and all these could not be accounted for, hence some executive members in the petroleum ministry decided to stash away the sum of US$14,300,000.00,(Fourteen Million, three hundred thousand United States Dollars) to an off shore account of a foreign national or company.
Please we are not contacting you because we do not have or know any person with whom we can do the deal with successfully, rather we are trying to avoid situation where by, after our tenure in office, a panel of inquiry may be setup to check our activities while in office or our investments through friends and relations, that is what we are avoiding.
If you are interested to assist us, please let me have your personal telephone, fax and email address, so that I can furnish you with further details on the modalities of the transfer of the fund into your bank account.
Please keep this matter to your self, as we do not want it to back fire. If you are not interested, delete this mail and take it as if you have heard nothing from me.
I look forward for your positive response.
Best regards.
Barrister. Bello.

Subject: Please use for Charity
Dear sir,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Jonathan Caru a merchant from Norway, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,andright now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Twenty Eight Million dollars ($28,000,000,00) that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for your time and effort.
God be with you.

Subject: PLEASE HEAR MY TESTIMONY
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and your staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4. Beloved in Christ, It is a priviledge to hear from God and it gives me joy to relate my testimony to you haven recieved instruction from God through divine revelation.I was a Moslem and a retired top officer in Estrada Government in Philippines that served under past Mr Estrada regime. I was the financial secretary to the Estrad Ruling Council in Philippines (ERC).With my position as a financial secretary, I was able to divert up to $15,000,000.00( Fifteen million U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping to invest the money when I am retired.Immediately I got retired, I was converted from Moslem to Christian when I was preached the words of God through my cousin Pastor HANRY FRED. I then gave my life to Christ and became a born again Christain. Since I gave my life to Christ, I had no rest of mind.Some times I think of my dubious ways I diverted my countrys money into my Personal Bank Account.
I then decided to seek the face of God for forgiveness and after fasting and prayer through Divine Revelation, the Almighty God revealed to me that the only way I could have rest of mind is when I used all my money to do the work of God. I immediately disclosed my revelation to my Pastor and he was happy with me.I have been thinking of the particular thing to do for my God before this present civilian president of my country set up a panel ( Panel) to probe the Bank Account of the past Civilan officers like me. Instead of loosing this money to my Government,I quickly withdrew my money out of my Account and packed it in a Trunk before i deposited it with the finance and security company as an valuable gift for safe keeping.My Pastor has adviced me to sow this money into a ministries work abroad. I have decided to sow this money into a ministry.
I am making arrangement to come over to your country but you need to receive this money as a consignment from the finance and security company in a trunk box before I come over. declared to the security company containing Valuable Gift items in a consignments trunk box and it's ready for shipment but the security company requires the address of the receiver. Please send to me your names, address and your telephone and fax number where I can fax the Airway Bill to you to I will be coming over to your Country with my family for thanks givingas soon as I sent out this money to you. Please act fast because I dont want the panel to know that intention to leave now that the probe is going on. I look forward to your response God bless you.
YOURS FAITHFULLY

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Ibrahim Baaji (SAN) - an attorney of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Allen Zook, a national of United States, who worked with Shell Development Company of Nigeria in-charge of crude oil exploration, herein after referred to as my client.
I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company to handle a confidential transaction on my behalf and my colleagues.
On the 21st of October 2000, my client, his wife Valerie and their two children (Larry and Daren) died in an auto crash on one of Nigerian roads. Since then I have made several enquiries to the Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives without success. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to look for somebody abroad who is reliable and trustworthy I will forward as next of kin to receive his fund, hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in claiming the money left behind by my client before the bank confiscates or declare the fund unserviceable. Until his death, my client had, and maintained a US Dollar currency deposit account with a closing balance of US$19.5M (Nineteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with a Trust Bank in North America, and have written us to recover all such dormant and unclaimed accounts to reinvest it with other funds through the capital market, but we have cleverly written and asked them to release the fund based on the instruction of the next of kin. It is for the urgency of this claim that I write to you to stand and receive the money as Mr. Allen's next of kin since I have failed in attempts 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 I have perfectly procure all the vital documents that would aid the release of the money and forward it either to Europe or America whereby you will receive the money.
I am prepared to disburse the money among ourselves in the following ratio: Beneficiary/next of kin 30%, 5% for Bank and legal expenses, while my colleague and myself in the chambers shall have 65%. If this proposal is acceptable to you and you do not intend to take undue advantage of the trust we shall bestow on you, then kindly respond immediately, furnishing me with your confidential telephone and fax numbers. I have all necessary legal documents for the release of the fund. On indicating your willingness, I shall contact you for us to work out the modalities for you to receive the funds. All I require is your honesty and co-operation. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangements that will protect you from any breach of the law. Yours faithfully,
MR. IBRAHIM BAAJI
