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.

Hello My Dear,
I am really sorry if this mail gets to you
without any notice. As a matter of urgency, I want you to advice
me on
what investment opportunities you can assist me on. It has become really
difficult to get a reliable
investor to assist me because of the rate
of scams that I hear about. Firstly, I will introduce myself to
you.
I am Mr. Vincent Smith, The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department of the Africa
Development Bank Group of Benin
Rep.
I am writing this letter to ask for your support and cooperation
to carry out this business opportunity in my department.
I discovered
an abandoned USD 15 MILLION in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers, Mrs. Mary Lou Sterner, 66, Olmito, Texas. who died in a Plane crash
october 31, 1999 [With Egyptian Airline 990] with other Passengers Aboard as
you can comfirm it by yourself through this web site.
www.greatdreams.com/plane990.htm
Since I heard of her death, I have been expecting her next-of-kin to
come over and put claims for her money
as the heir, because I cannot
release the fund from her account unless someone applies for claim as
the
next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has
ever appeared to claim the said fund.
Upon this discovery, I have
agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into
your
account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or
discovered she maintained account with our bank,
otherwise the fund
will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
I have agreed
to compensate you with 30% of the total funds on successful completion of the
fund transfer process.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer,
I will come to your country for investment on a lucrative business that you
may direct.
To commence this transaction, I require you to immediately
indicate your interest by a return e-mail: v_smith2007@yahoo.co.uk
to
enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary
approvals before
the transfer can be made.
Note also, this
transaction must be Urgent because of its nature.
I look forward to
receiving your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Vincent
Smith
