privacy reasons.

We understand that the content of your package itself is a Bank Draft
worth of $800,000.00 USD, FedEx do not ship money in CASH or in
CHEQUES but Bank Drafts are shippable.The package is registered with
us for mailing by your colleague, and your colleague explained that he
is from the United States but he is here in Nigeria for a three
(3)months Surveying Project as he works with a consultant firm in
Nigeria West Africa We are sending you this email because your package
is been registered on a Special Order.

What you have to do now, is to contact our Delivery Department for
immediate dispatch of your package to your residencial address.Note
that as soon as our Delivery Team confirm your information, it will
take only one working day (24 hours) for your package to arrive it's

that is made on the Insurance, Premium & Clearance Certificates, are

help you avoid any form of query from the Monetary Authority of your
country.

However, you will have to pay the sum of £105GBP to the FedEx Delivery
Department being full payment for the Security Keeping Fee of the
FedEx company as stated in our privacy terms & condition page. Also be
informed that your colleague wished to pay for the Security Keeping
fee, but we do not accept such payment considering the facts that all
items & package that are registered with us have a time limitation and
we cannot accept payment not knowing when you will be contacting us
for your package or even responding to us.So we cannot take the risk
to have accepted such payment incase of any possible demurrage.

Kindly note that your colleague did not leave us with any further
information.We hope that you respond to us as soon as possible because
if you fail to respond until the expiry date of your package, we may
refer the package to the British Commission for Welfare as the package

Wed, 2009/07/01 - 02:49

Here is an e-mail I just received About some Money..I am sure it is a "scam"

Dear Friend,

I am Mr. David Zuma, from Burkina Faso-West Africa, working with African Development Bank (ADB). I am contacting you independently of my investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of $11.3million to your private account.

The money has been here in our Bank lying dormant for 8 good years now without anybody coming for the claim of it.The money was deposited in our bank by Mrs.Joyce Lake an American citezen who died in a plane crash in 2000 Since we got information about her death, we have been expecting her next of kin or relatives to come and claim her funds.

Unfortunately i learnt that she died along with her husband and children who are supposed to be her next of kin, It is there upon this discovery that i decided to release the money to you as her next of kin since nobody is coming for the money, is better we use it for profitable investment because i don't want this money to go back into government treasury as unclaimed fund.

You shall read more about the crash on visiting these website: http://html.koat.com/sh/news/stories/nat-news-20000201-133854.html

The Banking laws here does not allow such money to stay more than 9 years,because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund.

By indicating your interest I will send you the full details on how the business will be executed. Please delete if you are not interested.

Regards,

Mr. David Zuma.

Another Internet Scam

Wed, 2010/03/31 - 12:09

I just received this one via email...

"Hello My Beloved One In Christ.

I greet you with the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, It is true that this letter may come to you as a surprise. Nevertheless, I humbly ask you to give me your attention and hear me well. My name is Mrs. Marcelin Edward from Australia. I am married to Dr.Edward who worked with our Embassy in Ivory Coast ( Cote D'ivoire ) for a period of 8years before he died . We were married for 9 years without a child before he died after a brief illness. Since his death I decided not to remarry due to my religious belief . When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$6.5m(Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State American dollars ) with a Bank in Cote D'ivoire. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank in Cote D'ivoire. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Four months due to cancer illness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this money to churchs, organisation or good person that will utilise this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want you to use this money for churchs, Charity organisation, orphanages, widows and other people that are in need. l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money . Moreover, my husband relatives are not close to me since I devolop a Cancer problem and it had been their wish to see me dead in order to inherit his wealth since we have no Child. These people are not worthy of this inheritance. This is why I am taking this decision.

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my ill-health. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the Bank in Cote d'ivoire where this money is deposited. I will also issue a letter of authorisation to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. I also want you to always put me in prayer.

Any delay in your reply may give me room to look for another good person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response soonest.

Thanks and Remain blessed .
Yours sister in the Lord,

Mrs. Marcelin Edward"
