I am popular this weekend first a Colonel and now a Miss
Greetings,

Actually, my name is Miss Celina kouame 20 years old am only child to late parents Mr. and Mrs. Alban kouame from a Royal family here in Cote d’Ivoire. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2006. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by my uncle who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!

Before my father poisoned to died in France he let me to know that he deposited USD$8.300.000 million dollars here in Cote d'Ivoire international bank as my inheritance. He informed me of the money before he died and handed to me all the legal documents which were issued from the bank.

Please I will be very happy if you promised me that you will keep this secret until this money arrival your account in your country.

I need who will help me for good investment and help me to enter good school in his country.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

1. Can you honestly help me as your family?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?

Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

My sincere regards,
Miss Celina Kouame.

For both PAYPAL and EBAY

NEVER NEVER NEVER open the messages outside of the paypal or ebay site -

When I first joined ebay I accidently opened what looked like a genuine ebay message from another member. I automatically clicked on the reply button and it gave me the ebay log in screen. It looked perfectly the same as the genuine ebay log in screen so I logged in.

They stole my ebay user name and password and started selling forged rugby and football tickets. It was only because I logged into my ebay the next morning that I found out. EBAY were brilliant, they suspended my a/c and took action against the seller.

SO BEWARE even opening a simple message from another ebay member in your email can cause you real hassle.

Paypal and Ebay will never ask you to update your details and both have helplines you can phone or email.

Good luck xxxx

Any email asking you to send confidential information over the email system is a SCAM.

It is that simple.

NEVER NEVER NEVER send confidential information over the very insecure email system.

Dear friend,

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London,England.
I worked with British Drilling Corporation East London forover a decade I married for fifteen years without a child. my wife died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks.I vow to use my wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since the doctor hadcomfirmed my situation that I will not live long I have decided to giveout my money to the poor. Deposited the some huge amount (Million's of Pounds Sterling)in a Vault with a Security company and also all my entire estate.Presently, this money is still there. But i need a trusthworthy person.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 30 days due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia and the Hurricane Katrina Disasters.I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner I will not like and I also do not 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 Almighty.I do not need any telephone communica tion in this regard because of my health,and because of the presence of my relatives around me always.

I do not 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 Bank. I will also issue them a letter of authority and change of ownership certificate,that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcingfor an individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will actaccording to my specification herein.
Hoping to hear from you at my private

eMail: malcolmgunda1@live.com

Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
God Bless You,
Malcolm Gunda




Good Day,

I am Thomas Walford, staff of SG International Private Bank. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management three years ago.

I am contacting you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. In the year 2004, the subject matter; came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Six Million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.

In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Helsinki- Finland. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I informed him that my Bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process.

Cash movement across boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to the security firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security firm.
The Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with the security firm.

The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th of November 2005. In June last year, and we got a call from the security firm informing us about the inactivity of that particular portfolio. I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of SG International Private Bank. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead.

A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, in Southern part of France. We were soon enough to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful; we've used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those that occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is Six Million United States dollars deposited in a security firm, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so.

I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as my Bank is concerned.
My proposal: I now seek your permission to present you as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the funds $6,00 000 00 (Six Million United states Dollar); I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct The security Firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the proceeds 60/40.I would have gone ahead to ask that the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.

I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and myself. My official lines are not secured lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy.

Please observe this instruction religiously. Do not betray my confidence. Kindly send your response to my private email: tmwalford1@yahoo.co.uk

I await your response.

Thomas Walford
