Some scams are so good that they must be sent twice:
FROM: DANIEL CHOICE
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
MAIL: osahonia@netscape.net
THE NETHERLANDS
Dear Sir,
SOLICITING FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE AND PARTNERSHIP
First and foremost, I apologize for using this medium to communicate a business
proposal of this magnitude this is solely because of the confidentiality nature
repose on the net; before I go on further, I must be grateful to introduce myself.
My name is Mr. Daniel Choice a Liberian. I was formerly the chief campaign manager
to Mr. Charles Taylor the president of liberia and I was also a personal aid
to the Minister of trade in the depose administration of Mr. Charles Taylor.
Due to my position and closeness with the President, I absconded with Seventeen.Five
Million United States Dollars (US$17.5M) which was part of the money that was
initially meant for campaigning for President Charles Taylor re-election into
office before the recent crisis that led to his depose from office.
Presently I have been able to move the funds diplomatically to a Security Company
in the Netherlands where I now reside as refugee; and I do not have the intention
of returning home for fear of being assassinated by members of the opposition
party to Mr. Charles Taylor under whose administration I served.
MY REQUEST
As a result of my present situation as a refugee who cannot have access to own
an account or accounts, I am therefore faced with the dilemma of seeking for
a trustworthy individual/firm that can advice me in making the rightful investment
as well as to provide account(s) where the funds will be lodge into. More also,
we are at the interim interested in buying properties for residence as my family
and I will be residing there in the near future. Please be aware that my family
are also in a safe location and I am in contact with them.
COMMISSION/REMUNERATION
As regards your commission/remuneration, I and my immediate family have decided
to offer you 20% of the total sum and also set aside 5% for all your expenses
(i.e telephone bills, traveling expenses, hotel bills and other miscellaneous
expenses).
NOTE: I shall commit half of my own share of the total sum into a joint venture
project preferably in the purchase of Real Estate or other profitable business
venture within your knowledge existing in your area. Be assured that you stand
no risk of any kind as the funds in question belong to me alone. As soon as
I get your consent, I will furnish you with the details and contact of the Security
Company and after a few more details have being communicated, we shall then
proceed to arrange for a face to face meeting in order to know each other better
and also discuss the terms and conditions of the partnership extensively.I strongly
believe that associating with you to embark on this and other
business ventures will derive a huge success hereafter and it will be a long
lasting business association. If you have any question, do not fail to contact
me with the above e-mail address.
I await your anticipated co-operation.
Yours truly,
Mr.Daniel Choice.

This really is unimaginative. Do these people have no new ideas ?

Thank for your exciting offer. I am certainly interested in helping you. Although I now reside under the name "Parker", my birth name was also "Choice". I had to change it to ensure anonymity. If I can now use my position to help you I will be only too pleased to do so.
Your offer of compensation for my time is exceptionally well timed and exceedingly generous. I have some experience in these sort of transactions and think we can proceed with both speed and secrecy. I assure you I will be most discreet as I appreciate that if this information was to fall into the wrong hands the whole deal could fall apart.
Let me know what I need to do and I will start work.
Thanks

Actually this is quite well timed. I'm in the process of buying a new engine for my car and so a massive injection of cash would be just the thing. I suspect I need to rely on you guys clicking the adverts on the home page of this site though.
Dear Friend,If this guy thinks I'm on the first Easyjet to Amsterdam, he must think I came down in the last shower, Time for a "curve ball" as our American cousins so quaintly put it:
DanielFor the less bright amounst us I will
point out that Pompeii was chosen because as programme about its destruction
has just been trailed on the radio. I don't know or care if it has an
airport. Also I know the scam involves me turning up with a large amount
of cash, which I would be relieved of at the airport.
Bet not many people try and turn the tables. Strange
how he never replied again...
Notes: These letters are genuine and were sent and received in October 2003.
