Someone forwarded a spammer's email to Spamnesty, which replied to the email, pretending to be a person called Laurie Leonard and starting a conversation.
This is that conversation.
Hello dear,
I am Yusuf Hassan. I am contacting you because I have a proposal that
I think may interest you. I represent the interest of my brother in-law
who is a minister in the Syrian Government. As you probably know, there
is
a lot of crisis going on currently in Syria and my brother in-law has
fallen out with the ruling Junta especially the president because of his
foreign policies and these senseless war and killings that has been
going
on for a while. Everybody in Syria is fed up and want a change but the
president is too powerfull and he simply kills anyone that tries to
oppose
him. My brother in-law has moved to support the opposition to empower
them
to be able to fight and repel the ruling party but unfortunately, his
efforts has been unsuccessful and he is now currently being arrested for
plotting to unseat the ruling leader. They have seized all his assets
and
he is now very scared for the safety of his family especially his kids.
Before he was arrested, he has asked me to help him find a foreign
investor who can help him accommodate and invest $100 Million USD
privately that he has lodged in a finance house abroad. He wants these
funds safely invested so that the future and safety of his family can be
secured.
I am contacting you with the hope that you will be interested in helping
us. We need your help to accommodate and lodge the funds in the banking
system in your country and also invest it in a very productive projects.
We will handle the logistics involved in the movement of the funds to
you.
Please note that the entire business will be executed in a legal way. My
brother in-law has promised to compensate you handsomely for your role
in
this business. Do you think you can handle this?
He wants this to be done discretely so I will be acting as his eyes and
ears during the course of this transaction.
If this proposal interests you, please kindly respond so that I can give
you more details.
Hello,
That is very helpful, thank you. Do you perhaps have some literature I could look at, or could you send me some more information about what exactly makes you unique?
Laurie Leonard
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Hello Laurie, Thank you for your reply. I apologize for my late response. I took ill and was admitted to the hospital. I am feeling much better now though. This is a very serious transaction that requires discretion. I hope I can count on you to keep the details of our communication confidential. As I have mentioned earlier in my proposal, the total amount of funds in question is $100 Million USD and it was made by my brother in-law when he used his position as a minister in the Syrian government to cut side deals for himself by inflating contracts that was executed through his ministry. Now, he is at loggerheads with the current Government because he has publicly opposes the decision of the Government to use weapons of mass destruction on our own people. He is also strongly against the current war in the country. I had to tell you all of this because I want us to be very honest and transparent with each other. I also want you to know this so you can understand the reason why we have to be extremely discrete when dealing with this transaction. The details must remain between yourself and us.
Now lets get back to the business at hand. As you can see this is a large volume of funds we are talking about here and its very important that I ask you a few questions to help me evaluate your capability to handle this transaction.
1. Have you handled large volume of funds before? (Not necessarily as large as the amount we are dealing with here). 2. Do you have a bank account that can receive this funds.
3. What are the investment ideas that abound in your country
4. Do you or your company have any project (current or prospective) that requires funding. If so, please give me a summary of the project
Please provide honest and detailed answers to these questions above so that we can move forward with this transaction. Once I receive your response and if we find it satisfactory, we will draft a contract for both parties to sign, work out the funds disbursement modality and also discuss your compensation for helping us move these funds and investing it in a profitable business in your country. I am looking forward to your response.

Dear,
My greetings to you and your family, I hope this communication meet you well as you will be curious to know why/how you were selected to receive the cash sum of $1,339,230.00usd, our information below is 100% genuine.
please kindly read this letter carefully because it contains the last wish of Mr. Allen Large, the Catalog Of Domestic Assistance is a company that disburses and distributes grants and donation funds solely giving to individuals and orphanages as well as churches and other organizations etc.
Note, Mr. Allen Large had lost his wife Violet Large she passed on July 16th 2011 in Colchester regional hospital Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada after they both won $11.3 million Jackpot Lottery and gave part of it to different communities and less privileges and after the death of Violet Large, her husband Allen didn't stop the good work despite his health condition and age. he had been away for 9 years under my watch because i am the only person he trusts to be around most of the time as he is still under intensive care and watch.
Allen Large stop giving out funds to individuals in 2010-2012 when the news came out that lots of scammers online and impostors started cheating on people using their names to lie but he was so smart and generous enough to have disclosed this to me 2020 December 12th.
Allen had kept only 2% of their winning and the remaining was gradually donated but it was not completely donated and this is why he had implored my service to go in search of 2 extra induvial for the final donation grant. In 2010 they only donated $500,000.00 to (5) five persons and in 2021 December Allen had wished to donate $1,339,230.00usd to only (2) two lucky individuals and you are one of the two lucky individuals.
please see the links below:

http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-244524-violet-large.html
Cause to the information in the article above, We have prayed and searched over the internet for assistance on our decision to donate $1,339,230.00usd to you because we saw your profile on Jackson Health System published email owners list and picked you, we have already finalized our decision to donate the sum of $1,339,230.00usd to you as part of our charity project to improve the lot of five (2) lucky individuals all over the world from the remaining of our old winning $11.3 million Jackpot Lottery winning fund. Violet my wife and i have decided to make sure this is put on the internet for the world to see before she died, my wife had cancer and she died July 16th 2011 at Colchester regional hospital in Truro, my wife just didn't die but she was a loving and caring wife and I miss her so much and this is why I have decided to do one thing i promised her forever. as you could see from the webpage above, my health is not getting any better and you can imagine having no kids at this age. Although we won this lottery funds July 2010 this money has been in my possession and we have helped some charity organizations from our winnings.
After taken care of the needs of our immediate family members and friends, we both decided on donating the remaining of the $11million to other individuals around the world in need, the local fire department, the red cross, Haiti, hospitals in Truro where violet underwent her cancer treatment, and some other organizations in Asia and Europe that fight cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes and the bulk of the funds deposited with our financial firm of this charity donation (Catalog Of Domestic Assistance). we have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to ourselves.
For me to facilitate the disbursement process of the funds ($1,339,230.00) which we have donated solely to you, you are to send us your full names for payment, your contact address and your personal telephone number, so that i can forward your payment information to you.

I will advise as you as the prospective lucky winners to be calm not to lose this great opportunity which millions of people are trying to entangled but the chances just couldn’t come for them because a lot of people are out there to discourage them as they don't know how it works, and have never seen such before

Hello,
Can you give me some more info about what you're offering? Specifically, how does it apply to our business? How can we use this?
Laurie Leonard
CEO, MNesty, LLC
This is a grant offering from a good man and his late wife which I already briefed you in my previous mail.
However in sequel to your question, this grant is specially giving to you to alleviate the standard of the less privileges, homeless and also the needy. Touch as many lives as you can and also use part of the grant to set up a good business for your self and also help members of your family. Note the major aim for this grant is to change lives around your neighborhood and in your community.
Apart from you this grant was also giving to some separate individuals in both San Francisco and Louisiana and we believe they will do the same by touching lives also.
If you keep the total to you self alone we would leave you with your conscience but if you help other around you then God will keep blessing you abundantly.
For now I will be waiting to hear from you with a positive response before we can move forward.
Hi,
Great, thanks. Could we have a short call to discuss the specifics? What are your contact details? Also, what is your pricing model like?
Laurie Leonard
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Compliment of the season and thanks for your message.
Note, I concur to the idea of having a phone conversation with you and which makes it more easier for good understanding.
I would suggest that you drop your personal mobile number and let me know the appropriate time and date to call you because I am also a very busy person despite I am surpose to have my leave but because of you and some other grant owners I have been reinstated to hold on until the grant is fully disbursed to the grant owners.
I will do everything possibly withing my power to make sure our conversation date and timing blends.
Hello,
Thank you for your email! However, I don't know if this will fit in our budget. Is there anything better you could do?
Laurie Leonard
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Dear
After reading your last mail then I understood what you meant when your stated that if it will fit in your your budget.
Well note: out of the total donation fund ($1,339,230.00 USD), 800,000 USD will be for your personal use as one of the helping hands, (volunteers) to reach out to the less privileged and the rest will be put into charity works as stated in the above line.
I hope this mail is satisfactory enough otherwise do not hesitate to ask any question in your next mail.
Best Regards,Andy Collins.
Hello,
I talked to my colleagues about this but they seemed to have some apprehensions; namely, they're worried that the offer isn't fleshed out enough. Would you be able to go into more detail about exactly how this would be structured?
Laurie Leonard
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Happy new year in advance and thanks for your message, I am indeed happy that our communication is moving smoothly.
I sincerely understand what people would think of such great news which most people may consider as too good to be true and same people also forget to know that good people like Allen and Violet large won such huge amount years back and still give out to support lots of people in need especially people they don't even know.
I will implore you to try and not listen to lots of talks from people outside our circle as it will only distract you from your blessings sometimes and some cases relating this good news to other people may lead to identify theft and double claims because some impostors will claim to be Laurie Leonard just to claim the money if they get access to your computer or mailbox however you have to be very careful.
What you are about to do is going to make you a great person for ever.
Out of the total funds $1,339,230.00, $800,000.00 goes for your personal use and the remaining $539,230 will have to be shared amongst orphanage homes that you know and pay bills of patients in any hospital around your vicinity or locality.
This may not seem simple as you will go around searching for hospitals and orphanage homes but I strongly believe with the help from God you will do very well in no time.
As soon as you completely disburse the amount tone of $539,230.00 then consider the project completed you can have your percentage share of $800,000.00 and live a good life for your self.
What we should be discussing in our next mail should be the process of getting the funds across to you which you will still have to contact Mr. Allen Large financier for help but I will look forward to your next mail before we can move forward.
Best Regards,Andy Collins.
