    Dear Friend,

    I warmly greet you.

    Please forgive me if my plead sounds a bit strange or embarrassing to you.My family attorney who could have handled this executor ship of my WILL & TESTAMENT on my behalf died early this year after a protracted illness. I therefore prayed fervently and by the special grace of GOD,i got your email ID from your country's guest book.I am Mrs. Maureen Howell, a native of London, I am 58 years old. am suffering from protracted cancer of the lungs which has also affected part of my brain cells due to complications. from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious according to my doctors that i may not live for the next few months, because my condition has gotten to a critical and life threatening stage.

    I was orphaned at the age of four and was raised in an orphanage.i was married to my late husband Engr. Fidelis Howell for twenty years without a child. FIDELIS had cadio-vascular condition and died of cardiac arrest few years ago.I am a fervent Believer and a God fearing woman just like my late husband. Fidelis and i lived in Nigeria for over 18 years,where my husband a petrochemical engineer by profession worked and rose through the ranks to become an executive director with a multinational construction and oil servicing conglomorate, before his demise.He also established huge private investments that i assisted in managing.

    Sequel to the unfortunate and shocking demise of my priceless husband, i decided not to re-marry.when my cancer ailment became terminal & more so because i do not have a next of kin to bequeath all that FIDELIS & i labored for,i sold off all our choice properties and other inherited belongings comprising of a shopping mall,an hotel, shares, bonds,jewelries and other valuable family treasures and deposited the proceeds amounting to USD$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS ONLY) with First Inland Bank of Nigeria plc. (Now FIN-BANK PLC) At present, this fund is still deposited with the bank. The management of the bank just wrote me as the sole owner because of the unserviceable status of the fund. The bank suggested to me in a 2 paragraph statement to issue a letter of authorization to someone who can manage the fund on my behalf because of my ill health and also threatened that the fund could be confiscated upon my failure to adhere to their Banking rules and regulations within stipulated time frame.

    I have been hospitalized in a London hospital,located at fulham road in west London.It is the leading cancer treatment hospital in the world and i have been undergoing treatment there for late-stage terminal cancer of the lungs. I am computer literate and was fortunate enough to have my personal laptop with me,hence I am writing from my sick bed. I rarely talk, my doctors told me that I have only few months to live,unless there is a divine intervention.It is my last WISH therefore to see that 90% of this fund is invested in any charitable organisation of your choice and administered as you may deem fit, especially to the orphanage homes and homes for destitutes and the mentally retarded. you can also extend some part of the funds to churches and mosques,if you wish.10% of the fund could also be expended on cost of administration of WILL & TESTAMENT and also on logistic support and other sundry arrangements that you may require as soon as the fund gets to you.

    I crave your indulgence as a God fearing individual and as someone who cares for the less-privileged as much as i do, to take it upon yourself and use this fund for the above mentioned purposes,i took this painstaking decision in other to help humanity in my little capacity before i rest in peace in the bosom of GOD almighty.according to my physicians my time will soon be up.As soon as I receive your reply and personal informations as listed below, I shall give you the official contact of the First Inland Bank plc officials,to enable you contact the Bank without delays.I will also issue you with a letter of authorization.

    The letter of authorization will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my WILL & TESTAMENT. the funds have an open beneficiary mandate and as such, it is whom i authorize or appoint to act on my behalf that the bank will recognize and release the funds to.Please assure me that you will not treat this offer with levity but will rather give my bequest continued existence.

    Send the informations in this order:

    (1) Your full names :===================================

    (2) personal or official contact address:===============================

    (3) Home or Office phone#:============Cellphone#:==========Fax#:=======

    Dear Friend,


    I am Razak Ahmad presently undergoing medical treatment in doctors hospital Dubai. I worked with Qatar crude oil drilling Corporation for over a decade I married for fifteen years without a child. my wife died after a brilliantness that lasted for two weeks. I vow to use my wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since the doctor had confirmed my situation that I will not live long I have decided to give out my money to the poor. Deposited the sum of $160 Million (One Hundred and Sixty Million United State Dollar) with my Bank. Presently, this money is still there. Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 15 days due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.

    Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages,and above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia and the Hurricane Katrina Disasters. I understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner i will not like and I also do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Almighty.

    I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue them a letter of authority and change of ownership certificate,that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose.

    Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. Hoping to hear from you at my private email: [email protected]

    Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.

    God Bless You,
    Razak Ahmad.

Thank you for your prompt response to my mail.I must assure you that
this transaction is 100% risk free to you before and after it is been
completed. All I require from you is your maximum co-operation to
enable this transaction sail through,the total amount is 19MILLION
united state dollar.

I contacted you purely based on the fact that your last name tallies
with that of my late client, who here in after shall be referred to as
my late client, died as the result of a heart-related condition. His
heart condition was due to the death of all members of his family in
the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709598

Concerning the legal aspects of this inheritance claim,you have
nothing to worry about.With all my years of experience as a legal
practitioner,I can authoritatively and confidently assure you that all
aspects of this transaction are totally safe before and after the
transaction is completed and has no hazards whatsoever.

I was the legal representative/adviser of the deceased, and according
to law,this entails that I am mandated to take care of all legal
aspects of his business even though he is no longer alive. Based on
facts available to me,my deceased client,had no next of kin to inherit
the money he left behind.The bank is asking for the next of kin of my
late client for claims otherwise the money will be confiscated .

But due to the fact that i am the only one who is aware that my client
had no next of kin, I decided to carry out a research to find someone
with similar last name as my late client,this is actually my reason
for contacting you.

This transaction is expected to be completed in the next 10 banking
working days with your full cooperation .Therefore a high level of
seriousness and trust is required from you to enable us proceed on
this transaction.

It is pertinent to equally let you know that all legal angles has been
carefully examined before I contacted you,so that both parties can be
legally protected.You must not entertain any fear, as this
transaction is going to be legally documented in your name at the
Malaysia high court. All the formal documentation of this fund in your
name will be done with the court here in Malaysia where this fund is
lodged.

Upon your favorable response, I will send to you, my international
passport id card and other related documents backing this transaction.

High degree of trust is required from you to enable us sail through
this transaction, this will be completed in the next few banking days
with your co-operation and carefully following my advice and
instructions. I am prepared to offer you 40% of the total funds for
your assistance input to claim and keeping this money safe in your
Country 60% will be for me.

However, if you are ready to do this business with me, I advice you to
call me any time of the day my phone is a call forwarded line,you can
call on:011-60-176-647-267 or 00-60-176-647-267 for proper briefing

If you get more of those, could you post them in the categorized forums? They'll be easier to find if someone wants to bait a particular kind of scam; also posting in the employment scam forum, or the lottery scam forum, autc., means that you know it's a scam (because it was addressed to nobody or root or you recognize the script), whereas posting in here means you're not sure if it's a scam.
