Dear,
Please I am Mr MARTHIN WILLIAMS, the only son of latechief
GEORGE WILLIAMS from Sierra Leone. I got your contact from
the Ecowas Infomation Center in Coted'Ivoire.My sources of
your contact gave me the courage andconfidence to rely on

seek your assistance to transfer our cash of twenty one
million eight hundred thousand dollars ($21,800,000) now
in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to your private
accountpending our rival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, chief GEORGE WILLIAMS, a native of
mende district in the Northern province of Sierra .Leone,
was the general Manager ofSierra Leone mining co-operation
(S.L.M.C.) Freetown.According to my father. This money was
the incomeaccrued from mining co-operation's over draft
andminor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between
the
rebels forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces
of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost
destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from
power ofthe Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah
by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for
his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be
evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal
effects and the box containing team. My father deposited
the fund for the safe custody until after the war when he
will join us. During thewar in my country, and following
the
indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties
by therebeln forces, the sierra Leone mining coop. Was one
of the targets looted and destroyed.My father including
other top Government functionaries Were attacked and
killed by the rebels in November 1999 because of his
relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan
Kabbah. As a result of my father death, and with the news

THEM BELLY FULL BUT THEM HUNGRY STILL
Hi folk,
That's a particularly pathetic one.
And they care to send that over to Canada?
I thought all this was long gone,the ones we got date from 1996.
Think I received on average one a month for at least a year.
I actually went to my bank to ask them what was going on and was told I wasn't the only one receiving this.
When the company went belly up,all of a sudden I didn't get those any more.
Just to show you how well informed they are.
Unreal.

REF: DBP/OG/XX140/02
FROM THE DESK OF:USMAN BELLO
TREASURY CONTROLLER UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.
Sir
I am USMAN BELLO treasury controller Union Bank of
Nigeria plc. I have very strict and confidential
discussion to make with you. On the 3rd June 1996 an
American Oil Consultant/Contractor with Shell
Petroleum Nigeria Plc, in the name of Engr. Michael
Watson made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve
calendar months valued at US$10.5million dollars in
our branch here in Lagos.
On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address, but got no reply. After a month,
we sent him a reminder and finally his contract
employers, the Shell Petroleum Nigeria Plc, wrote to
us that Engr.
Michael Watson died in an automobile accident and that
he died without MAKING A WILL and all attempts by the
American Embassy to trace his next of kin were
fruitless.
I therefore, made further investigation and discovered
that Engr. Michael Watson was infect an immigrant from
Papua New Guinea and only obtained an American green
card. He did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his deposit paper
work in our Bank. The total amount of US$10.5million
dollars is still sitting in our bank as dormant
account, no one will ever come forward to claim it and
according to the Law of Nigeria after ten years the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government IF THE ACCOUNT OWNER IS CERTIFIED DEAD.
This is the situation and our proposal to you is that
we are looking for a trustworthy and humble foreigner
who will stand in as the NEXT OF KIN. All you need to
do is to provide me with:
1. A fresh bank account
2. Name of account holder/beneficiary
3. Your personal address phones and fax numbers.
4 After you might have sent all this particulars, I
will then arrange all the proper money transfer paper
work immediately. This whole amount of money valued at
the tone of US$10.5million dollars will be shared
thus:
1. 25% will be yours as the beneficiary of the account
2. 60% will be shared amongst the Board of Directors
and me 5% will be shared amongst the staffs most
especially in the computer department.
10% will be invested in your country for us in any
business you deem fit for us.
Be rest assured that the caliber of people involved
are men of honor and they also have their dignity to
uphold.
We are looking forward to hear from you soonest

Dear Sir/Madam ,
My names is PRINCE JIDE WILLIAMS, the elder son of Mr.
ANTHONY WILLIAMS,of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to
you where I got your contact address, I got it from
network on line, South African. During the current
crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all
the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all
the white farmers to surrender their farms to his
party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country
and knowing that he did not support the president's
political ideology, the president's supporters invaded
my father's farm burnt down everything, shot him and
as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick
and died a! fter two days. And after his death, I with
my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for
the safety of our lives to South-Africa.
BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads
"(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO
THE SUM OF ($25,000,000=00). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH
I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN

EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You should solicit for
reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer
this money out of South Africa for investment purpose.
I deposited the money in your name and it can be
claimed by you alone with the deposit code. your
mother has all the documents. Take good care of your
mother and brother."
>From the above, you will understand that the lives and
future of my family depends on this money as much, I
will be very grateful if you can assist us. I with my
younger bro! ther are now living in South-Africa as
POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of
SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain
financial rights to such huge amount of money .In view
of this, I cannot invest this money in South-Africa,
hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this money
out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your
efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total

international expenses and 75% will be kept for me and
my family .
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done
will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and
confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to your

I had traveled to Nigeria for official purposes, Unfortunately for me all my money was stolen at the hotel where I lodged, I am so confused right now, I don't know what to do or where to go,I didn't bring my phone here, I have access to only emails, Please can you send me $3500 today so I can return home, As soon as I get home I would refund it immediately.Write me so I can let you know how to send it.

It was the strange one only, that why wrote to me in English when we understand each other better in Hungarian. Possibly it, how did not say that he is about to travel into Nigéria early.
It turned out next that something seeming official one granted the password of the yahoo mail answering a letter on a quite stupid manner. Because of this next the person who figured in his mailing list obtained this it anyway quite awkward letter.
This thread is quite interesting according to me otherwise.
