If I am gullible to believe these two emails. Don't know these people from Adam but they sure write convincing proposals...(Removed names and emails in post)
Dear Mr.MyLastName ,
My name is Joshua XXX, the Western District Manager of United Bank
for Africa Plc. (UBA). I write to you in confidence believing
that you you will be a worthy partner to receive money on my behalf for
our mutual benefit.
There is a domiciliary account opened in this bank in September
1990, in the name of Mr. John V. XXXX, an expatriate who then
was the manager of Petroleum & Technical Support services. The account
was operated for about 1 year and 6 months after which it became
dormant for about 91/2 years. Mr. XXXX died in June 1992 in an automobile
crash.
After going through some old files, I observed that the account
owner's next of kin is his wife who died with him in the auto crash.
Mr. XXXX had exactly the sum of US$1,959.20 (One thousand, Nine Hundred
and Fifty Nine U.S. Dollars, Twenty Cents) in his account when he died.
Over this period, I have successfully credited Mr. XXXX's account
steadily, bringing the amount to exactly US$19,592,000.00 (Nineteen
Million, Five Hundred and Ninety Two Thousand Dollars). I made
this credits mostly from our bank's reserves accounts into Mr. XXXX's
account without the knowledge of my colleagues. My intention is
to transfer this amount out of the country for myself with the help
of a foreign partner.It is impossible for anyone to lay claims to
the funds credited in the account since Mr. XXXX has no next of kin.
The top management of our bank are also unaware of the details of
this account because of its length of dormancy. As at this moment,
the amount in the account is US$19,590,000.00. I have observed that
if I do not transfer this money out of the country, it would be
forfeited. I therefore want to transfer this money into a foreign
account of an individual or corporate body for safekeeping and investments.
Since the funds officially belongs to a foreigner (even though I
credited them into the account, it is then necessary that only a
foreigner can lay claims to it. This is where your co-operation
and partnership is needed. And with my position and knowledge of
the history of the account, the transaction would be a huge success.
I propose a meeting between us as soon as you indicate your willingness
to co-operate with me in this transaction and a sharing formula
of 80% for me and 20% for you at the end of the transaction. The
transfer of the money to your mandated account will be by swift
to reach your bank within 24 hours.
I look forward to your response by e-mail and also include your
private telephone and fax numbers for more confidential discussions.
Yours sincerely,
Joshua XXX.
