Dear Deborah,

Compliments,I barrister MOHAMMED have decided to bestow this trust on you,
which I pray you will not ignore or betray.I appologise in advance for any
inconviniences this may cause you. I am Barrister MOHAMMED the Personal
Attorney to late Mr. George K.Marshal, who was a contractor here in Benin
Rep., On the 3rd of Oct 2002,my client with his entire family were perished
in a fierceful Auto-Crash along Midombo Togo express way.As a matter of
fact, my client made a fixed dopsit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M)with
African Development Bank here in Benin Rep, and upon the duration time of
their agreement his bank started contacting himbut no response.
Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the
deceased as his personal attorney,or have his account confiscated after
four years, as it is in the law of this country.

Since then, I have made several contacts to His Countries Embassy in order
to locate any of my clients extended relatives,which had also been
unsuccessful. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over two years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since none of his relatives were no way to be found so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $10.7m could be transffered into
your account, thereafter,we will both share it in percentage according to our
contributions to boost the success of this great transaction. I have all
the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up all the claims
we will make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us makethis
great benefiting transaction successfully.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
as fast as possible to enable us discuss further the progress of this
business.

Hon:Barr. MOHAMMED GARUBA Esq,

:Yep, they do keep trying over there, not sure what they do with the rest of their time, but there can't be that many people falling for it, at least I hope not.

that has to be the most unique "kenyan" scam i've ever seen. props

 

I usually see 4 or 5 a day in my work email. I'm more than a little sick of them.

 

i guess i have it lucky; my email provider must have an extremely good spam/junk filter. while everyone's getting spam after spam everyday around here, i only get one spam/junk message every few days... but since 90% of them are the same local singles spam mail, i just told outlook to block it, so yeah.

 

An opportunity to give them a bit of a runaround for their trouble. I confess to having slightly copied the style/approach of a guy who does this regularly Anyhow, here goes with the suggested text:

Dear Hon. Barr. Mohammed Garuba Esq.

Felicitations and greetings. I would like to thank you so much for taking the trouble and time to contact me with such a propitious and munificent offer. It truly gladdens my heart (which is fortunate as I recently had quadruple bypass surgery on said organ, and my Doctor has been advising me to seek out such marvelous opportunities in order to help aid my recovery).

Now, with respect to the tragic story of your client, Mr. George Marshal. What a terrible thing to happen to him and his family. My goodness me, how many of them were in that terrible crash? You say his entire family. Did that include grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers and children? He must have been driving a bus at the time. I do hope the authorities have taken appropriate safety measures on what is obviously a dangerous freeway.

Anyway, enough of that. You have come to the right person. So that you know me more intimately, my full name is Miss Deborah Rorchach Isidora Golightly, and I believe you have chosen very wisely in contacting me. I am already very wealthy indeed due to a substantial inheritance from my Grandfather, Julius Hieronymus Golightly, who made his fortune from gopher farming for the scientific research industry here in the famous Iowa potato belt. As a result I shall be delighted to endeavour to enable transfer of the funds you mention, and will seek to spread them around a number of worthy causes e.g. Widows and Orphans of The Priesthood of Deceased Clerics of the Holy Roman Church, which is one of my favoured charities. Others that spring to mind are the Sacred Communion Adherents Movement, and Counsellors of Non-Believers. As you can probably tell, I am quite a fervent follower of religion and our Lord, Jesus Christ. In fact I am a regular attender of our local Church of the Second Coming of Our Lord, where the Pastor is my very good friend, Father Seamus O’Blarney, a renowned saver of souls. Perhaps if you are a good Christian yourself, you will have heard of him on the grapevine (he does like the odd drop of wine, perhaps to make up for the fact that he has been celibate these last few years, apart from the time when he and I became intimate one Sunday after services, after he told me that he was simply bursting at the seams and would only be able to continue Gods work if he could just once savour the delights of earthly love and understand more fully why he needed to avoid any further carnal knowledge from that day forward.

Sorry, I digress, but have been a bit lonely laid up in my bed after my operation, and it so nice to be able to communicate with a man of your obvious standing so far away.

Now, then perhaps you would like to tell me just how exactly you propose to execute this almighty transaction. I am a little concerned as to how we will persuade the necessary authorities that I am related to Mr. Marshal when my name is, as I mentioned above, Golightly. However, no doubt a man of your excessive wisdom and scholarly capabilities will have a suggestion.

I do so look forward to hearing from you soon. Please, in your reply, do reassure me that you are a religious man. I do not mind which religion as I am not prejudiced in any way. I simply want to be sure that I am only dealing with a devout person as I am myself.

Yours sincerely,
Deborah Golightly

 

hahaha... reminds me of the p-p-p-powerbook now i wish i get one of these. i honestly have never seen one of these or any scam in my email before.

 

lol I get these quite often. almost everyday. People who are dying or "aren't worthy" for their money, so they want me to take it .

 

Take a look at this... Scamming the scammers and where I got my inspiration for the response.

You gotta laugh. Maybe we can add our very own string along a 419 scammer story.
