Republic of Togo.

Dear Friend,

I am the Director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section Eco- Bank lome-togo and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.

With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a Business Transactiothat will be very beneficial to both of us and our families in future.

During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson 61 years, of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st 2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261.You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the incident.

WEBSITE: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/

As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as these.

Although personally,He had only twenty four Million one hundred thousand united states dollars (US$24,100,000.00) in his account and the account is coded,It is only an insider that could produce the code of the deposit particulars.


As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome -togo though I did not disclose the deal to him. Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money will be transferred into your account.

I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a staff of the bank as well.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 70% will be for me and my partner. Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than 5 working days and you confirm the money in your bank account.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your bank account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.All other necessary vital information
will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this message

God bless you And your family.

Dr Amel Ahmed Moukhtar Sedak

Don't ban them.
People still fall for the hoax. At least let them ask if it is real or not.

I'm actually surprised that the OP hadn't a clue what a 419 scammer was, I would have thought that by now anyone with an internet connection would have at least some idea or experience with these people (the scammers).

Someone should create a thread with every scam encountered so far and make it a sticky in here (mainly because this is where people would check first).

You would think that, perhaps something along the lines of "Your Scams Go Here" stickied at the top of the forum, so everyone knows where to put them. However, have a look in the cool videos/links/pics sub-forum and you'll see that even though at the very top of the forum theres a thread stickied with YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS GO HERE as its title, you still have lots of users creating new threads for their YouTube links. Whether its pure and utter stupidity/ignorance, I don't know.
