FROM MRS MONICA MARSHAL
NO 22 ABA OWERRI ROAD PORTHARCOURT
RIVER STATE OF NIGERIA
DATE -- 20TH MARCH
REPLY TO mrsmonica1966@yahoo.com

ATTN: FRIEND,
This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter from me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it.By way of self introduction,

I am Mrs. MONICA MARSHAL , the wife of late HARRY MASHAL AN ASPIRANT OF PEOPLE DEMOCRATICAL PARTY(PDP)UNDER OUR PRESENT HEAD OF STATE CHIEF OLUSEGUN OBASENJO BEFORE HE DECLINE TO ANPP WHO WAS ASSISNATED AT ABUJA NIGERIA STATE CAPITAL ON 5TH MARCH 2003 AND LEFT ME AND MY THREE daughters trapped in obnoxious custom and traditional norms.

We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir apparent] for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband had, [wealth] belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is to be remarried by his immediate younger brother which I vehemently refused. They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including treasures, houses and his bank particular seized by them.

I wanted to escape to the United State of America [USA} OR EUROPE with my children on exile, but again they conspired and stole my international passport and other traveling document to further frustrate me. Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a BANK, that my late husband deposited U.S $7.5 Million cash with this BANK. (UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC LAGOS)

It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure these funds overseas in a reliable bank Account(presumably an empty Bank Account, if available) and to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting out to meet with you in your country. These funds are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE with the BANK to avoid detection, seizure or diversion.

This is why I have contacted you to help save my children and I, receive these funds on our behalf. But, you would need to give me sufficient assurance (PROOF) that if you help me, you would not divert the funds.

My children and I have resolved to give you 30% of the total sum. This is all mychildren and I have got to live on.Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not disappoint me.

I look forward to your urgent response, including your private phone / mobileNo and also your fax no AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMEBR AND YOUR BANK NAME AND ADDRESS

FINALLY I HAVE THE DEPOSITE CERTIFICATE OF THE FUND AND THE DEATH CERTIFICATE WHICH MY LAWYER WILL SEND TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU SEND YOUR PARTICULARS AND SHOW YOUR INTREST TO ASSIST ME TO CLAIM THIS FUND TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, YOU WILL BE DEALING WITH MY LAWYER TILL THE COMPLESION OF THIS TRANSACTION SO THAT MY LATE HUSBAND BROTHERS AND RELATIVES WILL NOT BE AWARE OF THIS TRANSACTION.

Stay blessed.

MRS MONICA MARSHAL

Many of these scam emails derive from Nigeria. I know quite a few people fall for these and lose thousands. The saying applies "if its too good to be true, it probably is!" always comes to mind.

How to detect a Scam Email
Copy any paragraph of the suspect email and paste it into Google search engine. A majority of the time it will come back with many results stating it's a scam or hoax. So just bin it, or copy and paste it here on our forums.

As a few of you have already stated they come in the forms of sad news about children, others include lottery wins, a husband or wife has died or some other relative - all scams!

Never reply to these either, normally that will target you for spamming!
