Compliment,

I appeal to you to exercise a little patient and read through my letter, I wish to contact you personally for a long term relationship and investment assistance in your Country, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you.

My name is Mr Gabriel Zoure I am in the Office of Auditing and Accounting File Manager with Bank of Africa Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of (US$10M DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. RICHARD BURSON from Florida, U.S.A) who died along with his entire family on November 1999 in a plane crash.

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($10M USD) to your account within 7banking days, while every necessary arrangement should commence after I have hear from you.

This money has been dormant for years in our Bank without claim, and I don't want the money to go into the Reserve Bank of Burkina Faso (RBBF), as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why I contacted you so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer.

Please I would like you to keep this transfer as a top secret between me and you alone ok.

I promise you that i will direct you on how this transfer will go successfully if only you can abide to my instruction.
Upon receipt of your reply i will give you full details on how the business will be executed.

Kindly send me this information below to have trust in you that you would betray me.

(1) Your full name...
(2) Your address...
(3) Country..
(4) Age...
(5) Occupation.......
(6) Private telephone number
(7) Sex.
(8) Bank account number and sortcode
l will send you my details of this transaction as soon as I hear from you thanks, trusting to hear from you immediately with your contact information


My Regards.

Mr Gabriel Zoure

how thick do these people think we are Willo that is awful . They probably play on people of a certain greedy nature ,too greedy to be realistic about what`s actually going on .lol

send the money or they will be upsettings...

lol dave_g

Well apparently they think people are thick enough to make a profit from which is why they keep sending these emails. People are stupid, make no mistake about it.

People that send these use mass mailers and buy email address lists (there's loads of places online where you can buy a thousand for as little as 10cents) and just load up a few hundred thousand into a script and hit send. They easily make their money back from the cost of the emails. (Assuming they don't harvest the emails themselves.)

Worth noting that the perception people have that it's only african countries that send these kinds of emails is way off. There's organised crime that raise funds through this method, europe, america, south america, and a huge amount in Russia too. I have a friend from antichat.ru that lives off the money he makes from these kinds of emails and he's in Ukraine. It amazes me that these sort of things ever make money
