Dear Friend,

I am Mr Phil Roberts, Auditor, with Accounting Department,Ecobank here in Cotonou, Benin Republic. I got your very good name and e-mail address from the online classified posted on the net.I have decided to contact you purely on the personal conviction of trust and confidence that we can co-operate with one another and do a very lucrative business for our mutual benefit. The Business I am proposing to you is in respect of the sum of US$11,183,000.00 (Eleven Million, One Hundred and Eighty-Three Thousand United States Dollars Only) deposited in Dollar account with my bank which belonged to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim who died on 25th July,2000 in a plane crash, is an Engineering contractor.My bank has made several efforts at contacting the family of Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim or his relatives, but all have proved abortive as he had no identifiable kin's men. This sum of US$11.183M have remained unclaimed ever since then and nobody has come forward as his next of kin.

The management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors has made an arrangement for the fund to be declared 'UNCLAIMABLE' and subsequently be turned to the reserve account of the bank. It is against the background of the foregoing, that two of my colleagues and myself in the bank have decided to contact you for assistance and partnership, for you to stand as the next of kin to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim . With your permission this fund will be transferred to your private account abroad as the beneficiary and next of kin to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim.

All proof of claim and necessary documentation will be carefully worked out in your favour and we assure you of 100% risk free involvement and protection. Consequently, if you find this proposal acceptable to you and you wish to assist us, I expect your urgent response and upon receipt of that,we shall discuss and agree on the disbursement and sharing ratio.Let me therefore expect your very urgent response through my phone,or e-mail addresses. Please endeavour to include your private phone and fax number and also your private e-mail where available. Please keep this proposal very secret and confidential. You can get back to me on this email address-: roberts_phil@hotmail.com

Thank you and best regards as I await your urgent response.

Yours Faithfully,

Good day,

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is that I am Sophie Kanga, the first daughter of Stephen Kanga one of the most popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security and finance company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this funds was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the security and finance company.This funds was meant for the purchase of new machineries and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland.

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest daughter of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where these funds could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving these funds out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history.I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security and finance company to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the funds for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above E-mail address,while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
