Today's Scams
Dear Sir/Madame

It is with mixed feelings that i communicate you through this medium
because am seeking a faithful, sincere and reliable foreigner who will
assist me in investing my late father's fortune in the amount of
US$15,745, 000.00.

This amount was originally deposited by our late father in a security
company in Ghana and just before my parents and two of my siblings were
killed by rebels in our family house in Sierra Leone, my father had
successfully lodged the money at the International Commercial Bank (ICB)
in Accra, Ghana.

I am the only survivors of our family. Before my fathers friend died who
is a diplomat, he successfully moved the funds through the assistance of
the foreign operations director of the ICB,transferred the amount from
ICB's pool account to that of Standard Chartered Bank In New York U.S.A.

I am therefore seeking your assstance to stand-in for us as our late
father's business partner and foreign investor, to claim this money from
the bank in New York as the beneficiary. You will also be required to
assist me in investing my own part of the money into viable business
ventures abroad and for all this am offering you 25% of the total funds as
reward.


If therefore, you can assure me of your sincerity, honesty and ability to
help me secure the release of this amount into your account /invest it, i
will give you the contact details an attorney who will make every
neccessary document available to enable you have total control of the
funds.

Please note that you stand no risk at all in assisting me to conclude this
transaction because the money is legitimately my family fortune.

Please if you are willing to help me, i will like you to furnish me with
your complete information, your complete house address, home telephone
number, fax number and mobile phone number.

Best Regards

Master William Bukare

From: Mrs Zainab Sharif Ahmed Demak Laut street, 93050 Kuching,Sarawak Malaysia.

Dear Friend,

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now.
I am married to Sheik Sharif Ahmed who worked with South Africa Embassy in
Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for
eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days. Before his death we were both are Muslims.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside
my matrimonial home which my prinsple is against.When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of $5.3Million (Five Million three hundred
thousand U.S.Dollars) with one Security Finance Company in Europe.

Presently, this money is still with the Security Finance Company .

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any Islamic or
better still an muslim individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct here in.

I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the
Dubai,Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close
one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one
knows of is the one that is with the Security Finance Company.
I want a muslam or individual that will use this to fund Islamic orphanages
and widows propagating the word of Allah and to ensure that the house of
Allah is maintained.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money USD$5.3M and my husband relatives are not Muslam. and I don't
want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where these money USD$5.3M will be used in
an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not
afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be
in the bossom of the Allah the almight.

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health,and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always who are not muslam. I don't want them to know about this development.

With Allah all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply
I shall give you the contact of the Security Finance Company abroad. I will
also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Islamic to always pray for me
because the Allah is my shephard.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing for a muslam or Islamic individual for
this same purpose.

l will require your Personal Phone number and if possible your
Residential address to include in the Power of Attorney that my lawyer will
prepare in your name as the Beneficiary that will empower you to act on my
behalf when you contact the Security Finance Company to receive the money
USD$5.3M on my behalf.
The Holy Quran emphasizes so much on Allah's benevolence and this
has encourage me to take the bold step.I took this decision because of my
faith towards Allah ,and with Allah every things are possible.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in.

Hoping to hear from you.
Allah be with you
Mrs. Zainab Sharif Ahmed
