My Dear,


Thanks for your mail.Before we proceed l would like you to have an insight of what this transaction is all about.It all about a transfer of fund which belong to one of our foreign custormer in the Bank.The deceased customer died in a plane crash together with his family. (Sure, I can understand)

Based on my personal banking experience, it had happened in the past, when a customer died and after several years the fund automatically transferred to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund, that experience ignited my thought to this deal.

It is my pleasure to inform you that this transaction is also 100% risk free, you should not entertain any atom of fear because I’m here to feed you with the whole information that might be required during the period of this transaction, in as much as you obey my instruction, success will be ours sooner than your expected.I cannot make this claim alone except with a foreigner.

I am just an average civil servant here in the bank and wouldn't like to miss this Golden opportunity.I want you to tell me more about your status because we are now partners.I would like to know more about your self.We have to develop our friendship strongly so that our partnership will be a successful one.I promise I will not let you down.

I want you to know that this transaction is going to join our families together because I will quit my job after the money has been successfully transferred to your account and I make sure I delete all necessary information’s regarding this transaction in the banks file to avoid any trace. (Yeah, we will have barbacue party in bahamas)

I will join you once the fund is credited into your account.I don’t want you to leak this secret to outsiders so that our secret will be forever to avoid any body knowing how we made our fortune.In all your correspondences with the bank,you don't let the bank know that you have any contact with me as that may create room for suspicion.

I hope you will continue in your honesty while I promise to do my best to see that we are victorious. We don't need to delay so much because the bank has already made it clear that this fund will be transferred to the reserve bank of Burkina Faso by the end of this fiscal year auditing.

This transaction will not last more than two to three weeks once you follow my instructions.I pray we will invest wisely once this fund is remitted.

For us to proceed I need the following information:(OK, am I an idiot or stupid to send all those info)

YOUR BANK NAME:
YOUR BANK FULL ADDRESS:
THE ACCOUNT NUMBER:
ACCOUNT HOLDER NAME:
YOUR HOME OR OFFICE ADDRESS:
MARRIAGE STATUS(SINGLE OR MARRIED OR DIVORCED)
YOUR PHONE AND FAX NUMBER:
YOUR OCCUPATION:
YOUR AGE:

With this information I will prepare an Application Claim for you.You will in turn send the application claim to the bank once you get it.

Reply me as soon as possible.

Yours Truly,

Humphrey Lama

Millionaire Mail - I

Thieves come in all shapes and all types. We have seen simple pickpocket thief in the bus to the next big planned thief scoot away the whole house in the night and then day light thief who try out his mischievous act to pull something from you.. The list goes endless..

In this current email era, there comes the high tech thieves who work diligently to rip us off with their innovative ideas. I like to call them Millionaire Thieves or Junk mail thieves. Nowadays Junk mails has became a part and parcel of this Internet days. Some of us became very cautious and avoid them by easily filtering them via spam blockers and direct them to go directly to trashbox.

I had just happen to read some of them which ended in my inbox recently and really amazed of the innovative ideas these junk mailers use to get you for the long haul. What a cool move to reel in with a small bait to catch a big fish?

I thought lets take roll. Here is the first one. How the heck the Banker in OUAGADOU(don't even know where it exists in the map) know just me to offer a business proposal. I guess I am famous all over the world huh..
