Charity Assistance - Nigerian Scam Example
Nigerian Scam Example:(Received from scammers, July 2004)
Subject: Charity Assistance
Hello Friend.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because i
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Sanni Saed, a
merchant in Dubai U.A.E.
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all
forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few
months to live, according to medical experts.I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I
was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only
focused on my business asthat was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the moneyin the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world
I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members
as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have
decided to give alms to charity ganizations, as I want this to be
one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this
myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to
charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and
kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore,
as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of twenty million united states dollars that I have with
a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 10 % for you and for your time. God be with you.
Regards,
Sanni Saed.
