Hi. To purchase the (VEHICLE), a certified cheque for $50,000.00,
in Canadian funds, is required. Once money has been deposited in our bank
account, you may arrange for pickup of the Rod. You are responsible for the
pickup, shipping, and delivery of the Rod. Thank's. Barry.

His Reply

ok, fine for your reasonable reply.i really appreciate this. anyway there this my asssociate that reside , he's actually, owing me some huge amount of money. He would have intented of sending the money directly to me for the method of transfered he want to use will take 30 working days before such check could clear the bank here in africa. so, he just gave me a word of advice that if only i will like to transact my money in this form. Since you reside in the state i will get him instructed to send u the cashier check bco's he told me that since it's in state such check only take 48hrs to clear the bank of them.that's why i will be transacting my fund in the form. so, after checking my mail, i saw ur reply still sounding so, interested in you selling the car for me, he will be send a cashier check of $100,000 cos.This is the actual amount of that he's owing me.And after u have must have cash the check and the real cost of your car i will implore you to kindly send my balance! through western union money transfer, co's i will be using the money to pay my shipping agent that will be coming for the pick-up of the part.My shipper his on ground they will get paid here in their local office, he will sign on my behalve when they come for the pick-up.I simply, think this is truly clear by you. so, this is the only way i think i can arrange for the payment of the car so let me have your full contact address, i.e your full name, and your phone number, so that i may associate could address the check with and simply send it down to you this in this lovely week. so, i will be expecting it if your ready. my expectation from you his trust pls. Regards Mr (NAME).

We Told Him We Weren't Interested



You should be aware that there are people sending out an email like the one's shown below. Some may say they are from Nigeria or Africa or some other foreign country. These people could pay with a bad cashiers check so be very leery of any email such as the one shown below. People all across the internet have been receiving these types of emails:



Attn:
We are specialised dealers on cars,trucks,boats and spare parts. have a client who is interested in buying your car for the rate of $17,000 i will like to know if it is still available, And if a certified registered US cashiers check will be acceptable as his mode of payment. kindly get to me ASAP for further enquiring. Do send me service history when replying my mail

Compliments of the season.I did like to send to you the best wishes of good
health and success in your pursuits particularly through my
proposal as contained in this letter.
I am Mrs. (NAME),the widow of the late Gen.(NAME) former
Nigerian Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of
Cardiac Arrest. Since after my husband?s death my family is under
restriction of movement and that not withstanding,we are being
molested,policed
and our Bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigerian
civilian government.Furthermore,my elder son was in detention by the
Nigerian
Government for more i
nterrogation about my husband?s assets and some vital documents.Following
the recent discovery of my husband?s Bank Account by the Nigerian Government
with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700 Million and DM450 Million
was logged.I therefore decide
d to contact you in confidence as a foreigner as our other family friends
gave up to the government our funds with them. but I was able to move out
the sum of US$40.3m Dollars,sealed in two Metal Boxesfor security reasons.I
therefore personally,appeal to
you seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money
into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannotleave the
country due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my
family by theNigerian Government. You can contact me through my email
address
as above and I shall ask my son (NAME) to come over to your country to
liaise with you towards effective completion of this transaction. However,as
soon as you indicate your interest my son shall send you the Air-Way Bill
of the Luggage and other related documents so that you can help to claim
the Luggage and subsequently transfer to your personal or company?s account.

Subject: Urgent From Taiwan.
(NAME).
Manager of Land Bank,
Taiwan
I am (NAME), Bank Manager of Land Bank,Kincheng branch, Fukien,Taiwan.
R.O.C.I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation, Mr. (NAME) made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty
Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese
Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. (NAME) died from an automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. (NAME)
(NAME) did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. (NAME) so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full
names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL
and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration
in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world
that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you
as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account
for us to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via this email address immediately. Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential
telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent
reply.
Thanks and regards,
(NAME).
