UNCLAIMED FUND NOTIFICATION I am Mr. Thomas Alexton of the newly inaugurated World Debt Recovery committee (WDRC). My committee has a mandate to recover unpaid debts associated with NNPC contracts, Lottery fund, inheritance fund, loans and grants etc ranging from $1M-$19.5M owed to various beneficiaries and companies across the globe (Asia, Europe, USA, Africa, and Australia) and submit the list of the unpaid beneficiaries/companies to the 2 appointed official paying Banks for immediate payment of the fund. In the course of our investigation, your email address/particulars were shortlisted among the first fifteen individuals yet to be paid hence this email. However, we received a petition today from one Mrs. Christina Morgan that you are dead. According to her, you died in a plane crash as such your fund should be paid to her as the apparent heir. She has also submitted her Bank account with Bank of America for the transfer of the fund to her. To avoid undue delay or paying the fund to wrong individual/beneficiary, I have decided to contact you for confirmation. If I fail to hear from you after 72 hours, it will be assumed that the petition of Mrs. Morgan is true and the fund will be paid to her without further delay. Therefore, if you are still alive, reconfirm your particulars, (1) Your full name. (2) Phone, fax and mobile #. (3) company's name, position and address. (4) Profession, age and marital status.

Dear beloved one, I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to chose you amongst the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say why I have chosen you but do not be worried for I come in peace and something very positive is about to happen to your life right now and to the lives of others through you if only you can carefully read and digest the message below. The internet has made the world global villages where you can reach anybody you have not met before. Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I am Mother Emilly Olivier, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva. Please see site below for more information. http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now that I am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to donate half of what we have worked for to the less privilege and charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close friends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with me and I am very weak and old now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I. Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes and to some of the less privilege in different countries. Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also agreed to render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to the fact when we were still young in life we receive an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know till date, the impact we got from such gesture made us to do same. I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing. I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of 5,800,000.00 British Pounds with DHL express to deliver to you, what you have to do now is to contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country You have to contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your cheque with this information bellow; Contact Person: Mr. Mark Allen Email Address: mrmarkallen@hotmail.com,dhlmail@blumail.org Tell: +44 702 403 1424 Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charge, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is 165 British Pounds for the security keeping of the cheque so far. I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost. You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery. Postal address; Full Names: Direct telephone number; Below is the security keeping code: (SCT/0433/F) of your draft, you are to also present it to them for verification before delivery. Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in receiving their security keeping fee of 165 British Pounds for their immediate action. Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to do is to invest wisely with it and do the same good to someone’s life someday as this is the only way this world would be a better community if we render selfless services to one another. Yours Faithfully Mrs. Emilly Olivier Jackman

From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher. No:38-41 Old Church Street, Manchester, London England. Kindly accept my apology for sending this mail to you. I believe you are a highly respected person, I am writing this mail with tears, sadness and pains. I know it will come to you as a surprise since we haven't known or come across each other before, considering the fact that I sourced your email contact through the internet in search of trusted person who can assist me. i am Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment. I was married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an English shipping tycoon notable for his great wealth, influential extended family, and charitable activities all his life before his death.My husband died after a protracted illness in April 2nd, 2006.Our life together as husband and wife lasted for about three decades without a child.My late husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals in the society, as we both had passion for those people who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that we both needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million Pounds Sterling(20,000,000.00 GBP) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK and named me as the beneficiary of this trust fund.(all records are kept with my family lawyer). Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live, due to the cancerous problems that i have been suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition with the cancer. Hence, With this hard reality that has befallen my family and me, I have decided to donate this fund to you and i want you to use this gift which comes from my Late husbands effort to establish a charity home called "Thatcher Charity Foundation" for the upkeep of the down-trodden and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financiall this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. Also i do not want a situation where this funds will be used in a worldly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relatives around me, as i am currently bedridden in the Family house here in 38-41 Old Church Street, Manchester and do not receive any visitors unless approved by Talmund Thatcher who is the immediate younger brother to my late husband.I do not want them to know about this development in order to safegurad this bequeast. So, i want you to Contact my family lawyer Barrister Matthew penny. (ESQ) with this specified email address: pennymatthew@rocketmail.com and Tell him that I have WILLED the ?20,000,000 to you by quoting my personal referen ce number Law/chamber/solicitors/rt/cfd/WILL/9834520012, as I have earlier notified him that I will be WILLING the funds to you for a specific purpose and good work. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation, and i want you to be kindhearted all through your life.Please, assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. as i hope to hear from you soon that you have contacted my family lawyer with the email address that i have given to you above, as he is presently waiting to receive your reply. Remain blessed, Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
