The Original Value Of This Contracts Were Deliberately Over-Invoiced To The Sum Of USD$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million United States Dollars)this Amount Has Been Approved And Is Now Ready To Be Transferred, Being That The Companies That Actually Executed These Contracts Have Been Fully Paid And The Projects Officially Commissioned.

Consequently, My Colleagues And I Are Willing To Transfer The Total Amount To Your Account For Subsequent Disbursement, Since We, Civil Servants Are Prohibited By The Code Of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Law) From Operating And/or-opening Foreign Accounts In Our Names. Needless To Say, The Trust Reposed On You At This Juncture Is Enormous.

In Return, We Have Agreed To Offer You 25% Of The Transferred Sum, While 10% Shall Be Set Aside For Incidental Expenses (Internal And External) Between Parties In The Course Of The Transaction.
You Will Be Mandated To Remit The Balance To Other Accounts In Due Course. Modalities Have Been Worked Out At The Highest Level Of The Ministry Of Finance And The Central Bank Of Nigeria (C.B.N.) For The Immediate Transfer Of The Funds Within 14 Working Days Subject To Your Satisfaction Of The Above Stated Terms. Our Assurance Is That Your Role Is Risk Free. To Accord This Transaction The Legality It Deserves And For Mutual Security Of The Funds The Whole Approval Procedures Will Be Officially And Legally Processed With Your Name Or The Name Of Any Company You May Nominate As The Benefice Beneficiary.

Once More, I Want You To Understand That Having Put In Over Ten Years In The Civil
Service Of My Country, I Am Averse To Having My Image And Career Dented. This Matter Should Therefore Be Treated With The Utmost Secrecy And Urgency It Deserves. Kindly Expedite Action As We Are Behind Schedule To Enable Us Include This Transfer In This Batch Which Would Constitute The Second Quarter Payments For The 2015 Financial Year.

Possible For More Details Via email; alymohamed968@yandex.com

Yours Sincerely,
ALY MOHAMMED

How was your day?, Mine is a little bit hot over here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. I sent you this letter to you as my heart has been over occupied with thoughts and fear if my situation will touch your heart to come for my rescue. The most important reason why i choose to contact you is for you to stand as my trustee and provide account where the bank will transfer the money.

About the Rev.Father.James/Camp Authority

i am emailing you from the office of the Reverend Father James John in EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF GOD, I told the Reverend James about my communication with you and he permitted me to access my email in his office computer twice a day, As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilege to any thing, be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country. I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place. Where i am leaving now, in this camp we are only allowed to go out only on Mondays and Fridays of the weeks. It’s just like one staying in the prison and i hope by God's grace i will come out here soon.

About Myself/ Late Father/Mother

My name is Miss Anisa Ibrahim Coulibaly and a single daughter of my mother, 23 years of age, from Republic of Ivory Coast, West Africa, i am 5.6ft tall, (never married before) and presently i am residing in the refugee camp here in Burkina Faso as a result of the a fight with the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast (FRCI) and my wicked step mother who wants to kill me and sit on my inheritance, But God did not allow her to achieve her plans, My father was a well known Ivory Coast military leader. He died on Thursday 28 April 2011 following a fight with the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast (FRCI). My mother died during a child birth in 1992, I have been alone with my father and my evil step mother.

with the help of United Nation I managed to make my way to a near by country Burkina Faso where my father deposited these money (US$11.500, 000) with my name as the next of kin. It was only me that is alive now in my family, i don't have any relatives now whom i can go to, my step Mother wants me dead and the only person i have now is Reverend James who is the pastor of the (EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF GOD) here in the camp, he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels, one for men, the other for women.

About My Wicked Stepmother/Uncle

I am constrained because of the abuse/threaten I am receiving from my wicked stepmother and uncle. They took away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile i wanted to escape to the USA but they hide away my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily they did not discover where i kept my fathers File which contains important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where i am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Ouagadougou, Republic of Burkina Faso.

My feelings:

Despite the money I really want someone who will care and love me, I need someone who will always tell me the truth from his/her heart, I need someone who will be my brother, my best friend, even though you take me like your blood sister or part of your family, I will not mind but as long we got along together with real love i will definitely be satisfied. I want you to think very well and understand in your heart if you really want to help me, If yes’ i will live the rest of my life to appreciate it, But if no, i suggest you make it open to me before you will break my heart, Because i don't want to under go torture any more. I need a God fearing person that will not cheat on me when the money has been transferred to him/her, i keep on praying to God that he should give me a person that is honest and faithful so that he will be nice and faithful to me when the money is transferred to him/her. i need a person that will be faithful so that when the money is transferred he will send some money to me so that i will start preparing to meet with you, i have no money with me here in the camp, and i do not have any choice rather than to pray to God for a person that will love me like himself/herself so that love will stand for us.

After the transaction

After transfer of this money to your account: You will help me withdraw some money from the account where the money was transferred, and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you in order to further my studies .You will send a letter of invitation to me so that they will give me a VISA urgently to travel and join you over, to enable me continue my education. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment, please understand my condition and do not abandon me without help. Therefore my condition here is very bad, to eat is very hard for me but with God all things will be good just a day.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR EXPERIENCE IN BUSINESS SINCE YOU WILL BE THE ONE TO INVEST THE MONEY. WE NEED TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER FOR MORE TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN BOTH OF US. SECONDLY, I WILL APPRECIATE IT BETTER ONCE I RECEIVE THE BELOW INFORMATION OF YOURS.

I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment which i am receiving from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father because my mother died during child birth and i was left alone with my step mother to take care of me. Meanwhile i wanted to travel to Europe, but she hide away my traveling documents. Luckily she did not discover where i kept my father's File which contained important documents like the will and deposit certificate of my Father's fund which bears my name as the next of kin to inherit the money in his bank account. Now I am presently staying in the Refugee Mission Camp in Burkina Faso. I am seeking for long term relationship and investment assistance. My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$ 11.5 Million in Bank Of Africa here in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin.


I have contacted the Bank to clear the deposit but the Branch Manager told me that my late father place an instruction on the deposited fund that i must present a foreign trustee who will help me in investment of the fund.


However, the manager advised me to provide a trustee who will stand on my behalf for the transfer of the fund. i wanted to inform my stepmother about this deposit but i am afraid that she will not offer me anything after the release of the money because she threaten to kill me.


Therefore, i decide to seek for your help in transferring the money into your bank account while i will relocate to your country and settle down with you. As you indicate your interest to help me, i will give you the account number and the contact of the bank where my late beloved father deposited the money with my name as the next of kin. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% out of the total money after the transfer for your assistance and the balance shall be my investment in any profitable venture which you will recommend to me as i have no idea about foreign investment. Please all my communications with you should be through email address for confidential purposes.

And on a more serious note: in spite of card paranoia, I have lost money in fraudulent use of not one but two of my debit cards in the last fortnight... looks like I'll get it all back but it's a bit annoying to say the least, and a complete pain; I'm now on my second replacement set of cards.

Obviously I have not been foolish enough to respond to any of the notes similar to the above which I'm sure we all receive, but nonetheless, be careful out there folks!

Might be worth reading:


A message from the Met about the latest scam.

Primavera Quantrill, Fundraising and Programmes Director,
SPCK: Communicating the Christian faith since 1698

Message from Richmond Police
This victim very kindly notified the local team who passed it on

"Wednesday a week ago, I had a phone call from someone saying that he was from some outfit called: "Express Couriers,"(The name could be any courier company) He asked if I was going to be home because there was a package for me that required a signature.
The caller said that the delivery would arrive at my home in roughly an hour. Sure enough, about an hour later, a uniformed delivery man turned up with a beautiful basket of flowers and a bottle of wine. I was very surprised since there was no special occasion or holiday, and I certainly didn't expect anything like it. Intrigued, I inquired as to who the sender was.
The courier replied, "I don't know, I'm only delivering the package."
Apparently, a card was being sent separately... (the card has never arrived!)
There was also a consignment note with the gift.
He then went on to explain that because the gift contained alcohol, there was a £3.50 "delivery/ verification charge," providing proof that he had actually delivered the package to an adult (of legal drinking age), and not just left it on the doorstep where it could be stolen or taken by anyone, especially a minor.
This sounded logical and I offered to pay him cash. He then said that the delivery company required payment to be by credit or debit card only, so that everything is properly accounted for, and this would help in keeping a legal record of the transaction. He added couriers don't carry cash to avoid loss or likely targets for robbery.
My husband, who by this time was standing beside me, pulled out his credit card, and 'John,' the "delivery man," asked him to swipe the card on a small mobile card machine with a small screen and keypad. My husband, was asked to enter his PIN number and a receipt was printed out. He was given a copy of the transaction. He guy said everything was in order, and wished us good day.
To our horrible surprise, between Thursday and the following Monday, £4,000 had been charged/withdrawn from our credit/debit account at various ATM machines.
Apparently the "mobile credit card machine," which the deliveryman carried now had all the info necessary to create a "dummy" card with all our card details including the PIN number.
Upon finding out about the illegal transactions on our card, we immediately notified the bank which issued us a new card, and our credit/debit account was closed.
We also personally went to the Police, where it was confirmed that it is definitely a scam because several households had been similarly hit

Of course, it's easy to observe after the fact that gifts of flowers and wine have usually been paid for by the sender (!), but even the most alert of us can be caught out.

Which is not to say that it couldn't occur, but that warning's been doing the rounds for years!
