And another (this time a Reverend!! Don't they no that no one trusts the church anymore ;))

"Greetings to you, I am Rev. Father Shadrach Rolland, a senior staff with the World Bank fact finding & special duties office. I am writing you this letter because cool penny is better than million of dollars. It is better for one to live and die poor honest man than a rich dishonest one. The Chief security officer (CSO) of this organization and I have arranged with an officer in computer section, engineer Peter Cliff has agreed to bring out part of your total sum amounting to US$10 Million, why we did this is because according to information gathered from the bank’s/security computer, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your money without success. As I found out that you have almost met all the statutory requirements in respect of your fund settlement. Your problem is that of interest groups. A lot of people are interested in your payment and those people are merely doing papers works with you and that is why you receive messages from different people every day. Also we found out that some of the officials of the parasitals have been extorting a lot of money from you with the pretext of helping you to receive your money. I can assure you that this may last for years yet nothing happens, if you do not do away with those officers you call your partners, and for security reasons. Do not tell anybody that you have your money until you receive cash at your doorstep. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME FOR MORE INFOMATIONS reply to [xxxxxxxxx]@yahoo.com Yours faithfully, Rev. Father Shadrach Rolland."

Good Day,

After several attempt to reach you, The UNITED NATIONS MONITORING, VERIFICATION AND INSPECTION COMMISSION (UNMOVIC) was setup by the African Union in conjunction with the European Union, The United States Government and the World Bank for the sole purpose of resolveing pending transfer.I am sorry I have not email you We deemed it necessary and urgent to notify you finally about the outstanding settlement of your over due payment.

This is to inform you that World UNITED NATIONS MONITORING, has taken upon our selves to settle these very bills, because of the dubious attitude of the apex institution in Africa and all over the world who have made things difficult to their dear client.

On the detailed verification and reconciliation of your file,it was crystal to us that you are the rightful bonafide beneficiary to the said fund which has been delayed due to lack of information of which you were misled and misguided about the position of this fund that made it too longer up till date.

However after our due checking of your file and it was satisfactory approved for payment that is why you have to disengage from any body or impersonated officers who claim to be in position of your fund, thereby misleading and having the opportunity to extort money from you, If you know that you have not receive your money Contact Mr.George Nbam the settlement director for your payment of $750,000.00USD through this e-mail:(georgenbam@poczta.pl)with your below information

1,Your Full Name..........
2,Delivery address........
3,phone number............
4,email address...........
5,Age.....................

To enable them automate the information so as to give the payment bank in US the access to make your payment to you in any bank of your choice.We have paid for the processing and delivery charges.the only money that you are going to pay is $109 usd only for reprogramming of your payment before the transfer could be made to you.

Your advice to stop contact with any body in regard to any transfer originated from Africa both your local representatives and so here on-now and adhere to our advice to get your fund paid.

Accept our congratulations in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Madam Jane Law

I got this one in my work email today:

Hello,

My name is Sgt. George Morgan, an American soldier, I was serving in the military of the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. I am in Spain at the moment, I and my partner moved one of the boxes containing funds which we believe is belonging to Saddam Hussein in March 2003, the total fund in this box is $12,000,000.00 (Twelve million US dollars), this fund had been moved via a safe Diplomatic Courier Service to a secured security company, Click on this

link:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep these funds, since we are 3 that is involved. This means that you will take 30 percent, I will take 30 percent, and my partner will take 30 percent. 10 percent will be kept aside for expenses.

This business is confidential, and we plead that it should not be discussed with anyone. There is no risk whatsoever involved as we left this fund in the Security Company without declaring it's contents for this period of time to make sure that the fund will be safe for transfer and investment. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and will assist us. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also your contact details. I assure you that this transaction is risk free and its success is 100% guaranteed Please help us to help you.

Please get in touch with me On My Private E-mail Address: mgmorgan100@aol.com

Yours-in-service
Sgt. George Morgan.

The latest lot I seem to be receiving must be a "phishing" scam. Goes along the lines of :

"Please find attached a statement of fees as requested, this will be
posted today.

The accommodation is dealt with by another section and I have passed
your request on to them today."

Or:

"Hello!

Attention! The wire sent to Vladimir Kirkorov, Moscow, Russia has been blocked by our security service.

Your credit card issuing bank has halted the transaction by the demand of the Federal Criminal Investigation Service (case No. 19690 since the recipient has been undergoing the international retrieval by the InterPol.

Please contact the closest Western Union office and make sure you have your ID card, the credit card that was used for making the payment, and the invoice file with you.

(The invoice file is attached to this message; please print it out and hand it to our agent.)

You can find the address of the closest Western Union agent on our website at http://www.westernunion.com

Thank you!"

And there's an attachment of some sort. DO NOT open these kind of attachments as they will either be a virus or a phishing scam. They're getting bloody good.
