Stupid Punts!

Another scam letter, from a particularly odious scum bag.

This person does not even bother trying to disguise the fact that the "deal" is "dodgy".

He claims that he has access to the bank account of a deceased person, which of course doesn't really exist.

However, let us pretend that this account does exist; the letter goes on to say that the deceased owner of the account wanted the money used for charitable purposes.

Our scammer friend happily tells me that he, and his associates, will steal 80% and only leave the remaining 20% for charity; they want me to help them steal it.

Now, anyone who falls for this deserves no sympathy whatsoever; they would have to be greedy, stupid and dishonest.

In fact, they would have to be as odious as the scammer who wrote this letter.

Dear Friend I am Bruno Williams a senior Manager at continental
trust bank, Benin Sarl
here in Cotonou RPB. Though we have not related in the
past, I am compelled
by the important nature of the opportunity at hand to
contact you so
that we can explore avenues for cooperation in this
mutually rewarding project.

A very wealthy deceased customer of our bank,
Mr.Talbot Camara - a Sierra
Leonean and one time minister for natural resources in
that country left
some large amount of money in a special domiciliary
account with our bank
since his death in 1998.
In his Will, which has just been made available to us
by his Lawyer and
family, he shared his other wealth located in some
other bank accounts judiciously
among his family members and local welfare
organizations, but requested
specifically
that the money in this account with our bank be
allocated 100% to a foreign
organization or individual trustee who will utilize it
strictly for charity.
In this Will also, he gave sole authority for the
nomination of this foreign
trustee to . So, the choice of a foreigner for this
project is in strict
compliance with the Will of the deceased account
holder who believes that
the fund will be better utilized by a foreign trustee
since there will be
no interference or manipulation by local authorities.
Due to the exigencies
of government legislation, there became the need to
acquire a Letter Of
Administration from the Cotonou Probate Registry to
give legal impetus to
the execution of this Will in Cotonou. For this
reason, the execution of
this WILL could not materialize until last month when
the court in Cotonou
issued the final Letters Of Administration. Having
secured this Letter Of
Administration from
the court, the authority for the appointment of an
administrator for this
fund now lies solely in my hands . In fact, we have
decided to utilize only
20% of this fund for charity while reserving the rest
for ourselves. After
deducting the overall cost (both
foreign and local) incurred in executing this project,
whatever balance
left from the outstanding 80% will be shared equally
between myself, and
the foreign partner who will assist us to receive this
money as the appointed
trustee. Also, the foreign partner will receive in
addition to his share,
the 20% earmarked for Charity under the strict
agreement that this part
must be spent for Charity through him/her or
organization in compliance
with the wish of the late customper . My reason for
contacting you therefore,
is to
solicit for your cooperation in this project so that
your name or that of
your company can be used as the appointed foreign
trustee to whose care
this money will be transferred. To complete the
necessary procedures, there
is absolutely no risk involved as we have the copy of
the Will and Letters
of Administration to back the transaction. But you
must also understand
that a transaction of this nature and magnitude
requires
absolute secrecy so that no one else hears about it
especially, our mutual
agreement to utilize and disburse this fund as stated
in the paragraph above.
If you accept to offer your cooperation for this
project, please reach me
urgently through my email address to enable me give
you the full schedule
of the transaction. You should also provide me with
your private telephone and fax numbers for prompt
communication.
Best Regards,
Bruno Williams
