GEORGE ABBEY
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Sir / Madam,
                         CRY FOR HELP

You will be surprise to receive this letter since you don't know me
personally, but do treat this request as a call from somebody in dire need of your kind assistance,
but for the purpose of introduction. I am GEORGE ABBEY .the eldest son of Dr. WILLIAM
ABBEY who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe lastyear.ln my  keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact through the website and decided to write for an assistance.



My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean richfarmers murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUARD ofthe ruling government of President Robert Mugabe onthe 12th of march,2003 for his alleged support and sympathy  for the Zimbabwean Opposition party controlled by the whites and this crisis andcold-blood-murder reports  were communicated to thewhole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED NATIONS general assembly  meetings for heads of governments, of member nations.



Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg  to deposit the sum
of US$19.2 Million(Nineteenmillion two hundred Thousand United States Dollars)with a Security and EUROPEAN Company forsafe-keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in  Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled 'FAMILY TREASURE', with the Security Company.This frame of mind was informed as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious security reasons. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals for the farms and  the establishment of new farms-settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.


This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Acts which wholly affectedthe rich white farmers and some objective blacks vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings,arson and mob actions by the war veteran and some political thugs. Precisely, more than one hundred and seven(107)people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the past, and up till this year,BBC and CNN have reported of more killingsin the farm-land violence.

Heads of government from the Western World, especially Britain and the
United States of America havevoiced their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts .
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my family's wealth.Secondly,my mother is presently sick of HEART DISEASE and the need to for a medical operation soon is important.


Presently, l am residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to grant me asylum status.At the moment l amin dilema on how to move this money safely out of Johannesburg  due to the fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary policy.l request that you grant methe consent to present you and your company as the beneficiary of the Consignment{box of money} ,so that l can be able to transfer the money to your nominated account outside South Africa for investment purpose.

As a business man whom I wish to entrust my future and  that of my
family on his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free as far as you keep it secreet and modalities to effect this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer,a
member of a Bank-board, a South African and my late father's friend that helped him in depositing this money in the  said security company as a consignment.Therefore if this proposal is acceptable to you, we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance,
75%will be for me and my family while 5%will be used for capital transfer tax based on South African Banking stipulations and any other expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction.


If this proposal is acceptable by you please do not hesitate to contact me soon as possible, bearing in mind the confidentiality and privacy this transaction requires at the moment .

Best Regards,


GEORGE ABBEY

{For the family.}

From: Mrs.Joy Peters

Dear Friend,

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment for
cancer now.I am married to Dr. George Peter.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 born again Christians. Since his
death I
decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my
late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of$27.5Million (twenty-seven
Million
Five  hundred thousand US. Dollars) with one finance company in
Europe.
Presently,this money is still with the Security 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 church or better still a
Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in.I want a church or individual that will use this to
fund
churches,
orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that
the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that
Blessed is the hand that givelth. I took this decision because I don't
have
any
child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not
Christians and I don't want my husbands hard earned money to be misused
by
unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money 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
bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case
and
I shall hold
my peace. I don?t need any telephone communication in this regard
because
of my health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives
around me
always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the
contact of the Finance/Security Company Europe.

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 church to
always
pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I
lived a
life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must
serve
him in spirit, and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your
life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sousing for a church or
Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you
will
act
Accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,His Love.

I await your response.
Regards and God Bless.

Edward Yayi From Paraguay

I recieve mails like that too, but when i read and I'm not familiar with the sender i just delete it

Hi everyone

I get these all the time. I played around with it for a while doing some Scambaiting. Check out these entertaining sites www.419eater.com and www.ebolamonkeyman.com to see just how far it can be taken. But you have to be careful to remain anonymous.

On a serious note, vulnerable people fall victim to these criminals and it costs them thousands.

So if you really want to help shut it down, then whenever you get one, forward the email, with header information showing to abuse@<theISPof their email address> asking that they take appropriate action. A lot of the time they will terminate the account.

It only takes a minute to do and while it won't stop these people completely it will waste their time and may even prevent someone vulnerable from being able to reply to them.

All the best.
