FROM MR. TONY MORGAN
OFFSHORE PAYMENT OFFICER
DIAMOND CREDIT BANK (GH) LIMITED.
ADDRESS: #14 KWAME NKRUMAH AVE,ACCRA GHANA.
TELEPHONE:00233-24-819070
EMAIL:[email protected]

Dear Jeremy Daniel Eckberg,

I am Mr. Tony Morgan, the Offshore Payment Officer at
the DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED and close friend
to Late Mr. Mathew Eckberg from your country. First, I
got your contact address through YOUR COUNTRY CHAMBER
OF COMMERNCE WEBSITE DIRECTORY

In my files I discovered that my customer abandoned
sum of US$18.5Million (Eighteen million Five Hundred
Thousand United states Dollars) in our bank DIAMOND
CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED. On a record before my
department I was made to know that on the 1st of June
2001, him and his family were involved in a car
accident along Kumasi-Aburi Express road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to trace your name as his relatives because he
is from same country with you.

Since I got information about his death, My office has
been expecting his next of kin to come over and make
claim of this money which is currently deposited in
our custody because the DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA
LIMITED cannot release it directly to me or any other
person unless somebody applies for the release of it
as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our
mutual agreement (Between THE DECEASED and the DIAMOND
CREDIT BANK MANAGEMENT), unfortunately his supposed
next of kin died along with him at the Fatal auto
crash.

It therefore upon discovery of the ugly news that I
now decided to make business with you to direct you on
how to apply with this office (DIAMOND CREDIT BANK
GHANA) to assist in repatriating the money left behind
by my friend before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank. The request of a foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the
fact that my customer was a foreigner and the next of
kin died been the wife died alongside with him and
also a citizen of Ghana cannot stand as next of kin to
a foreigner.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over two year now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are from the same country so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD$18.5 million
can be paid to you and then you and l can share the
money. 60% to me and 40% to you, I have two necessary
legal documents that can be used to backup any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation
to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law.

Please endeavour to contact me immediately through my
private and confidential Email Address(
[email protected]) or call me on my private
number+233-24-819070 for briefings

Expecting a positive response soonest.

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Tony Morgan

NB:PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR TELEPHONE /FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY
COMMUNICATION.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[pennywisesb]

haha, thats awesome, i would say to call him just to laugh in his face when he continues to try to BS you over the phone, but the number is an english number and the cost probably wouldn't be worth the laughs you would get out of it.....

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Set up a phony hotmail and see what this guy's next great idea to get you is.

umm, you don't go to harvard, do you? I hear that people in Cambridge fall for this sort of thing...

[rkmsuf]

"so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD$18.5 million
can be paid to you and then you and l can share the
money. 60% to me and 40% to you"


What a pal. I say you push for 45%

[corbes]

Hey, that guy contacted me about splitting a contract surplus with him one time. Hold out for 50/50. He'll back down eventually. I mean, where else is he going to find a random American to pose as next of kin?

[Desnudo]

It's DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED for crying out loud! You haven't heard of DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED? Everyone has heard of DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED.

[corbes]

Anyone who knows anything about DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED knows that if you really want to do business, you go to the Accra branch of CHASE MANHATTAN.

That depends if you are trying to do business through YOUR COUNTRY CHAMBER OF COMMERNCE WEBSITE DIRECTORY or not.

Oh, good point.

See, the tricky thing about the CHAMBER OF COMMERNCE WEBSITE DIRECTORY is that they'll be happy to provide information about you, but not your phone or fax number. You've got to work for that.

I would rather have gotten this email than the one I inadvertently opened earlier today; I didn't notice it was titled "pee tastes good"

I didn't know the president's email campaign had started yet...

This is the greatest logic in the world. I can't find his relatives to give money to, so I picked you since you are from the same country. I am so getting ripped off, millionaires in America die everyday, and despite being from the same country as they are I never see a penny! Just the man keeping me down.

Easily the best one I've seen so far.

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA

Dear Mr. Sir,

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.

Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.

Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager

That guy has been in space all this time? The bankrupt Russian Space Agency has managed to keep this guy going? All this while keeping it a secret from NASA? I am really impressed now. It would only take $3,000,000 to bring him home, so instead of that they spend countless more millions on supply flights for 14 years...hahah. I love that one. I wonder if it would work on someone.

[ice4277]

I REALLY wish there had been a cheapo-looking, doctored website at that address.

Wow... how stupid do they really think Americans are???
