I am from the family of late Engr Jafar Waleed. My late father Engr.Jafar Waleed, was One of the Board of Directors of Sudapet Limited (Sudan National Petroleum Company) Darfur. The  brutal killing of my mother and my father, one kid sister and kid brother  took place one early morning by the rebels as a result of the civil war that is going on until now in Sudan. I was in my second year in Applied Mathematics department of University of Darfur in Sudan before the death of my loved Parents. I contacted you for a possible help. My step mother was a very wicked woman and she intend to kill me since my father and my real biological mother is died. Then she planned to take away all my late father's property and some other valuable things from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Parents. Meanwhile I wanted to find my way out of my country because I have seen what she is planning to do to me.  I thereby plan to go to Europe or other part of the World, but she hide my international passport and other valuable travelling documents. Luckly she did not found where I kept my fathers File which contains important documents.

I managed to escape with the documents which covers my late father's deposited money $6.2 MD(Six Million and Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars). which he used my name as the next of kin. Meanwhile,I am still residing here as a refugee under the UNITED NATIONS COUNCIL FOR REFUGEES, i am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me transfer the money from the bank pending my arrival in your country cause I will like to see you face to face soon.

Furthermore,on your wish you can contact the bank for confirmation and you can communicate directly with them regarding this fund of my late father which was deposited in their custody. I am giving you this offer as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist me retreive the money from the bank and transfer to your nominated account.Remember is my wish to come over to your country but I don't have travelling documents such as International passport and money for the air ticket at the moment, all this is why I told you to contact the bank first so that this money will be transfered into your bank account,so that from there you can send some money to me to prepare my travellings documents to come and meet you face to face and start a new life with you also continue my studies cause I will like to further my studies as soon as I arrive to your country, please try to help me to achieve this goal as I have a desire to become a famous personality in the nearest future. I will be pleased if you can do this for me.

You can reach me through this number  (+221 76 746 4762) It is a Reverend Fathers phone number, by name Reverend Father John Muyila and email (rev_muyila@hotmail.com) he is the person that is incharge of the camp even it's his office computer I'm using to send you an email any time he is less busy in his office because there's no computer at the camp hostel except in his office.If you call, please ask of nadia Jafar. When ever you call, try to tell him that you want to speak with Nadia Jafar, I am staying in the female hostel. I have already inform him, that some one will call me through his phone. He will send for me from the hostel to come and speak with you. So please do not fail to call me, because I need to hear your voice too.

Remember I am revealing my secret to you,because I need help and I actually prayed that out of the three mail I sent the one that I received first will be the person to assist me, which is more or less  a divine thing. As you know one must certainly trust person notwithstanding the time we have known.  For me I trust you and I also enjoin you to trust me.The bank refused to give me this money because of my refugee status here in Senegal as the law of Senegal do not allow a refugee to per take in anything concerning money and I don't have any bank account where this money will be transferred that was why I contacted you because I do not permit to do that also the bank has advise me to nominate  any foreign partner I trusted which is why I approach you in this regard.

Bye and take a good care of yourself,have a nice day.

Yours sincerely,
Nadia

Greetings to you,

I got your information while searching for a reliable person who will assist me in a business proposal that will benefit both of us and I believe and trust in you, thats why I am opening this proposal to you.

My name is Barrister Solomon David, an Attorney at Law in Johannesburg , South Africa ; I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. I know this proposal will come to you as a surprise for the fact that we have not met before and for the fact that this transaction of this magnitude will make anyone worried but I can assure you that you will not regret being part of this mutual beneficial transaction.

SUBJECT: A deceased Client of mine name withhold made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at $23,500,000.00 (Twenty three Million, five hundred thousand U S Dollars) in aFinancial and Security Company on January 12th 2000.

My client was a Consultant and contractor with the South Africa Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC). Upon maturity, the Financial and Security Company sent a routine notification in accordance with the Company policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month they sent a reminder and finally it was discovered from his contract employers the South Africa Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC) that My Client, his wife and two children died in the AF4590 France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise on Monday 31 July, 2000.

Below is the link concerning the crash.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. On this occasion I made further investigations and discovered that my client did not declare any next of kin or relations in the Deposit paperwork with the Financial and Security Company.
This sum of $23,500,000.00 I understand was kept in the Financial and Security Company for safekeeping to enable him have direct and immediate access to the funds for a contract that he intended to execute. No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to the Government Law as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), South African Banking Edit of 1961 at the expiration of11 years the money will revert to the ownership of the South African Government, if nobody applies to claim the fund.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin and beneficiary of my deceased client as so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$23.5 million can be paid to you, so we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 50% for me, 30% for you and 10% for the Less privileged and 10% for any expenses that might be incurred during the transaction.

All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through and I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Your most urgent response will be highly appreciated to avoid making further contacts.

Warmest Regards and hoping to hear from you soon,
