Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.
If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage
to read more about 419 fraud. |

Gooday Sir/Madam
I really regret any embarrasment this mail might cause you as we've never by any chance met before I want you to patiently read this offer. I am Mr. Steven Wright the Head of Delegation to the World Bank in West Africa. I am the linkman between the Organization For Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC and the petroleum sector in a West African country. I also attend OPEC meetings constantly in Geneva.
Through the sale of our allocated oil quota in OPEC, I was able to make $7.4 million, which is currently deposited in a European Security and Finance company. I want you to assist me to claim this money as I cannot claim it directly because I am still a civil servant, and the code of conduct bureau forbids me to acquire such amount of money.
It is on this basis that I am contacting you for assistance, If you will be interested, claim documents will be processed and sent to you. The documents with which the fund is deposited will be changed to reflect you as the new beneficiary so that you will be eligible to collect the fund on my behalf.
I will give you 40% of the fund for this assistance. I am aware of the international monitoring of all large-scale financial movements after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack on America and to avoid any state of financial investigation I will provide a classified clearance paper from the relevant body which will exonerate the money from either drug, money laundered or terrorist related proceeds.
Upon the reciept of your mail, indicating your interest to help me in this transaction i will then send to you my indentity card and international passport to further buttress the bonafide nature of this transaction.
Kindly respond to my proposal via my alternative E-mail address:
barrsteven_private@yahoo.co.in, if you are willing to assist me in claiming this fund, due to security reason for the safety of this transaction.
I want to assure you that there is no risk attached in this transaction.
You should also provide me with your private telephone and fax numbers for easier communication.
Expecting your response.
Remain blessed,
Mr.Steven Wright
