Dear friend,

Please accept my apologies if this request does not meet your personal ethics as it is not intended to cause you any embarrassment. I got your contact email address from the internet directory, and i decided to contact you to seek for your consent to entrust my last resort to you.

Although this may be hard for you to believe because i know that there is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email as this might sound strange to you and coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate persons to get attention and recognition. Please grant me the benefit of doubt and hear me out.

My name is Ms. Mary Fischer; I held from the Regional Council of Goyder (Australian Local Government Area) South Australia. I was married to Mr. Jacob Fischer before he died nine years ago after suffering a malignant brain tumors. Before his death we use to live here in Abuja, Nigeria where he worked with the Nigeria Ministry of Solid Minerals Development as an Expatriate.

We were married for twelve years without a child. We were both born again Christians. I decided not to re-marry nor get a child outside my matrimonial home in order to respect the love i have for my late husband. While my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($10, 800,000.00 USD) with a finance institution somewhere for safe keeping. This money is still with the finance institution as i have not been able to claim it due to the ugly situation of my health.

Presently i am having a serious cancer problem, and I have been suffering from this disease for many years now to the extent that i can no longer go out of my house. I am presently under going treatments here in Nigeria as i was not able to move back to Australia after the death of my husband.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I have only three months to live due to this ugly cancer problem. Though i am aware that am going to die someday but what disturbs me most is my paralyzed left leg which happen as a result of dangerous stroke i suffered six months ago.

Having known my condition I have decided to donate this fund to church or better still an individual who can utilize the money for charity and humanitarian works as i and my husband planned to set up a foundation for the less privileged in any of the countries of the world before he died.

I want some one who will use this fund to build orphanage homes and provide food and supplies to poor people. I took this decision because I don't have any child who will inherit this money. Secondly, I and my husband grew up as an Orphan and we don't have anybody as my family member who can inherit the fund.

Can you handle this? Can i also trust you? My Lawyer will officially guide you to the legal process to claim this deposit from the finance institution. 20% of this deposit will belong to you while you will use the balance to set up a home for the less privileged in your country and for charity works.

As soon as I receive your trust response I shall reveal to you the contact of the Finance institution, and also tell you how to deal with them. I will also issue to
you a letter of authorization that will empower you as the true beneficiary of this fund to enable you claim it from the finance institution. I want you to always pray
for me and also dedicate the foundation to my name as i may join my creator in no time.

Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely yours
Ms. Mary Fischer

Dear Dr. Catherine Holloway,

Greetings to you in the name of the most high God.

I am truly pleased to receive your response mail to my proposal today.

I pray that God in his infinite mercy will guide us and give us one spirit
and one accord to realize this aspiration which will definitely give
happiness to the lives of less privileges especially poor children. This
has been my dreams especially to see poor children happy and comfortable.

Is quite unfortunate that i may not be alive to witness this great
aspiration as this ugly disease has already destroyed me. However, i still
give God the glory because he told us to thank and glorify his name in
every situation.

Like i said previously, the fund is deposited in a bank somewhere by my
late husband and all the documents of the deposit are in his names.
I have not been able to change the documents to my names as the beneficiary
due to the ugly situation of my health.

Presently the fund is in the bank where it was deposited by late husband. I
won't be able to claim the fund due to this ugly situation of my health,
and even if i do claim it from the bank i won't be able to utilize it since
i have only few months to live. More so, i do not have any child nor
relative who can inherit the fund after my demise. This is why decided to
channel the fund to charity work at least to make the less privileges happy
and comfortable.

I want you to claim this fund and use it to build orphanage homes, and
provide food and supplies to poor people (especially poor children) just as
i stated in my previous email, and do not forget to take 30% of the total
sum to take care of your self and your family. This is my dream and i trust
that you will not fail me in fulfilling it all.

Since the fund will be released directly to you now, the documents should
be changed to your names as the new beneficiary instead of me. I shall also
prepare a Letter of Authorization instructing the bank to release the fund
to you. In this regard am going to need you to send to me your full contact
information which i will use to prepare the letter of Authorization and
also make change of ownership to your names as the new beneficiary.

My attorney will help in handling this legal process since the change of
ownership will be done in the high court probate division. You may need to
contact my attorney in this regard for further advise. I have already
explained things to him. So, he will be there to assist you whenever you
called for his assistance.

In my next email I shall send to you the deposit documents of the fund for
you to review and also the contact of my attorney where you can reach him,
but before then you should send to me your full contact details so that i
can forward it to my attorney for him to commence the legal documentation
process. Kindly send down your contact information as stated below.

Full names:
Delivery address:
Copy of work I.D or any form of identification:
Direct telephone numbers:
Occupation:
Age:

I may not be able to communicate with you always due to my present health
situation. I also cannot speak to you on phone as my doctor advised me to
keep away from phone call for now. I am managing to send emails to you
through the assistance of a sister nurse who God purposely used for
assisting me here in the hospital, please always commit her in your daily
prayers as you do to me. Always keep your faith in God and commit this
transaction in his guide.

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours sister in the lord

Dear Dr. Catherine Holloway,
How are you today? I hope you are good? I have not heard from you since you declared your interest in handling my last resort ($10.8M Charity Project). Is everything OK with you? If you are still interested in handling the project on my behalf please do get back to me so that i can give to you all the information you need to pick up the fund from the bank. Meanwhile if you are not interested kindly update me as soon as you receive this email so that i can look for someone else who can help me. My Doctor told me that I have only three months to live due to this ugly cancer problem that has already destroyed me, and already two months and a week has gone, and i do not know what is going to happen to me in the next few weeks. So, please kindly get back to me so that i can hand over the fund to you before my demise which is fast approaching. I am here waiting to hear from you.
God bless you.

Attention Dr. Catherine Holloway,

Are you alive or dead? We have received several calls and emails from one Mr. William Berkley who narrated to us about the auto car accident you had two weeks ago. Mr. Berkley made us to understand that you are in hospital for treatment at the moment and that there is no hope for recovery.

He stated that he is your business associates and your next of kin whom you have chosen and permitted to inherit all your properties.

He is contacting this office base on your contract/Inheritance payment fund valid USD$7,500,000.00 (Seven million, five hundred thousand dollars only) which is about to be pay to you. He requested that the payment should now be transfer into his own personal account as he stated below.

Account Name William Berkley
Citibank Banamex USA
2029 Century Park East Los Angeles, CA 90067
Phone: 1-800-222-7534
Routing Number: 122233645
Account Number: 5944130210

We request your confirmation before we can process this transfer to Mr. Berkley's Bank Account. This is to avoid releasing your money to wrong person because Mr. Berkley is too eager and ready to follow every instruction to have this money into his account.

Waiting to hear from you

Dear friend,

If this message intrude into your privacy or cause you any inconvenience, I sincerely apologize as that's not the intended purpose.

I am one of the senior staff of Emirates Development Bank, here in ABU DHABI, UAE. We have an amount of money to the tune of five hundred million United State dollars

(US$500,000.000.) only, floating in our Bank that we can re-profile for our mutual benefit, if you agree to cooperate with me. This is just between You and me, and we can split the fund in the ratio of 50/50%, as I do not want to be greedy. You will be the recipient and I will show you how we can execute the transaction successfully. There is no risk involved and it will be a hitch-free transaction.

If you want to work with me, kindly indicate your interest to do so and I will give you the details. This is strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to a third party please. I look forward to hear from you.

Dear friend,

Thank you for your interest and response to my proposal. As you requested, I will freely give to you full details of this transaction with strong belief that you will not betray me. The name of the bank I work is Emirates Development Bank here in UAE and presently I am a Member of the Board. You can read more about me on this website; http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/board.asp?privcapId=53474158

In a brief, the fund in question was deposited in my bank by one late MEHMET who met his untimely death in a cross-fire in the on-going civil war in Syria. He had fixed the sum of US$500, 000,000.00 (Five hundred million United States Dollars) only in 2012 for 36 calendar months, and the due date for this contract deposit was 16th of Match 2015. The reason I have chosen you to work with me is because you have the same last name with the depositor and you can easily fit in as his next of kin since he had NONE in his mandate with the bank.

As the former account officer to the depositor, I can work out a structure that will allow you to be the Next of Kin and receive the fund for our mutual benefit. I know what to do to position you as the beneficiary and we will share it 50% apiece when you receive it in your account. I plan to invest part of my share into charity as that is the burden in my heart. If you accept to work and partner with me in this opportunity provided to us by providence, I will give you the blue print of how it will work out perfectly without failure.

I will send you a copy of the deposit certificate and a copy of his company registration when I get your positive reply. Most important, this transaction requires utmost trust and dedication from your side, since you will be receiving the fund as the Next of Kin/Heir to late Mehmet and you will be in control and the custodian of the money until I come over for my share.

I want you to bear one thing in mind, there is no risk involved in this transaction. It is 100% risk free and secured once you follow my instructions and keep everything secret between us. What I have to do is just to put your information in my bank's computer system as the Next of Kin/ Heir to late Mehmet, and you will apply for the claim through a lawyer here in UAE which I will recommend to you. The secret of the bank system is on my palm, so putting your details in the

system as the Next of Kin/ Heir to late Mehmet is an easy work for me. The transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of law.

I am going to recommend a lawyer here in UAE to you, who you will contact and request for his legal services to represent you for the claim. Once this is done, the lawyer will do all the work and documentation required for the release of the fund to you as the rightful Next of Kin/ Heir to late Mehmet.

Below are the information I will need from you to do the changes I need to do in the bank and in the computer system so that your name will be posted to the bank's database as the new beneficiary of the fund:

1. Your First/middle names.

2. Your last/surname.

3. Address/telephone.

4. Occupation/designation.

I will start working with the particulars immediately I receive them. Please remember to treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality

for our own good.

Awaiting your urgent response.
