Here is rather a jolly tale from a chap calling himself Mark Escrupolo Masilag junior.
He claims to be living in the Philippines, but originally comes from Iran.
Needless to say there has to be a dead body, he uses his father's corpse as bait. However for good measure, and in bad taste, he links it to the recent earthquakes in Iran.
He scoured the net looking for a reptuable person, and found me!
I am, so he believes, God fearing. Therefore an ideal chum for a business relationship.
His poor dead father, fearing war in Iran, sent all his money ($28M) to Holland.
Now I can help him in this "once in a lifetime opportunity" (whenever I hear these words I instinctively reach for the sick bag).
Rather amusingly, he advises me that there are many frauds about and one can never be too careful; quite so!
Rather oddly, despite the fact that he claims to live in the Philippines, his email address is South African; how very odd!
The phrase "wouldn't touch with a barge pole comes to mind".
Hello,
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I
am Mark Escrupolo Masilag (junior) from Philippines
(The only surviving son of late Sir Mark Escrupolo
Masilag)
I came to know and pick on you in my Private Search
for a Reputable Person to handle this Confidential
Transaction. The only reason I am contacting you, is
that I have gathered that you are a God fearing person
who would not take advantage of my situation.
My late father was a crude oil consultant based in
Iran until his unfortunate death as a result of the
earth quake disaster that just occurred in Iran
killing thousands of people which include my father
and my mother I was fortunate to have been in TOMATU a
village thousands of kilometers away from where my
parents lived on a school escortion.
As I write this mail I am still very much in shock and
pain on what has happened to my parents. My reason of
contact you is that before my fathers death every year
he moved all of his profit made for the year from
Iran to Holland just in case there is any war in Iran
so he would be sure he would have money to fall back
on when he goes back to Philippines, the total amount
of this funds as we speak is US$28 million.
I have been in contact with this security firm via
mail as that is all I have for now they have said that
in other for them to be able to release the funds I or
the MARK ESCRUPOLO MASILAG FAMILY representative must
come to their office in Holland to sign the funds
release document before they can release the funds.
Please all I want from you is to act as the ESCRUPOLO
MASILAG FAMILY personal representative sign the funds
release document and have the funds transferred into
your account I would be willing to share the money
with you 50-50 if you can do this to help save my soul
from this poverty I am facing now.
I would completely understand if you do not want to
help me out in this transaction even though it is of
mutual benefit, with the high rate of fraud going on
around this days one can never be too careful, but I
would be willing to send you my personal social
security card of Philippines so you can be sure this
is for real and you stand to change your life if you
take this life time opportunity to make some money.
Pleas reply to my private mail box ..
For refence to what I have said,the relevant webpages
about the earthquake can be viewed:

Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

I received this fine literary masterpiece today, this time there are no diamonds or even a rotting corpse.
This gentleman claims to be involved in the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas company, in fact he claims to be the chief accountant.
He and the Auditor General no less, definitely a sign of an honest enterprise, wish to use my bank account to place a "whopping" (his words) $20M in.
They, being top civil servants, cannot open a foriegn bank account; of course not!
Well that would resolve my issues with my underperfroming endowment policy! (see The Endowment Diary)
As usual it poses no risk to me at all. How reassuring!
NIGERIAN LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS
LAGOS CENTRAL OFFICE
LAGOS-----NIGERIA
ATTENTION:
RE: TRANSFER OF US$20.500,000 (TWENTY MILLION,
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) TO A
SAFE ACCOUNT
I wish to intimate you with this proposal in my
capapcity as Chief Accountant and in full agreement
with the Auditor-General of this company (Nigerian
Liquified Natural GAs). We scrutinised all records and
the accounts of awarded and executed contracts of this
company (NLNG) during the previous military regime,
since the inception of democracy in Nigeria and
carefully uncovered and mapped out a whopping sum of
USD 20.5m which we want to transfer into your account
as the beneficiary. It might interest you to know that
the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas came into full
working capacity during the beginning of this current
civilian government at a working assets capital of USD
3billion and will definitely gulp more USD 2 billion
on the completion of the fifth part. You can
authentically apply for supply if it interests you to
be our client with full guarantee from me.
The money US$20.5m has been approved for payment by
this company, NLNG, the Federal Ministry of Finance
(endorsed by the Accountant General of the Federation)
and to be paid by the Apex BAnk of Nigeria under
contract number, NLNG/FGN/FMF/CBN/B2517/99.
As top civil servants, we are not authorised to
operate foreign bank accounts hence our decision to
use your account in full trust and confidence to
transfer this money outside Nigeria. We have accepted
you as our foreign partner and will regularise and
update the approvals to reflect you as the true
benefiaciary of the contract sum USD 20.5m (twenty
million, five hundred thousand US dollars only).
Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not risky
and does not require much engagements since we have
taken care of the deal in full capacity. We have
resolved to negotiate the percentage which you will be
offered for your assistance when we finalise on the
deal with you.
If you are interested in this deal, please contact me
through my email address above for more lively
information. Remember to give me your phone and fax
lines through which I can send you approved documents
for your perusal.
I am anxiously waiting for your response with hope
that you will understand the confidential nature of
this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
MR IKEM

I received this work of literary fiction yesterday; subject line titled rather oddly "Divine".
This chap claims to be a farmer from Zimbabwe, his father was murdered in a "gruesome" fashion along with a few others.
He has $14M; and, rather oddly, claims to be living in Germany.
I am offered two options; take a percentage or go into partnership.
Don't think so matey!
HELLO,
I WISH TO BEGIN BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION,
I AM JAMES UGOMA, THE FIRST SON OF THE LATE EGOH UGOMA, ONE OF THE
FORMOST
BLACK FARMERS IN ZIMBABWE WHO WAS MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN MY
COUNTRY.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE HAD TAKEN ME TO JOHANNESBURG IN SOUTH
AFRICA, TO DEPOSIT THE SUM OF US$ 14.5MILLION (FOURTEEN POINT FIVE
UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) IN ONE Â OF THE PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES, AS FAMILY
VALUABLES, WHEN HE REALISED THE LOOMING DANGER IN ZIMBABWE.
THIS AMOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINERIES AND CHEMICALS
FOR
THE FARMS AND ALSO FOE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARMS IN SWAZILAND.
THIS LAND DISPUTE STARTED WHEN PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE INTRODUCED A NEW
LAND REFORM WHICH HAS PARTICULARLY TARGETED AT THE RICH, WHITE FARMERS
AND
A FEW BLACK FARMERS WITH MY FATHER INCLUDED.
THIS RESULTED IN THE GRUESOME KILLING OF RICH FARMERS (MAINLY WHITES AND
FEW BLACKS) AND THE UNLAWFULL POSSESION OF THEIR PROPERTIES BY MUGABE'S
WAR
VETERANS,UNDER THE DISGUISE OF FIGHTING FOR THE INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY.
IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND I FLED THE COUNTRY WITH MY FAMILY, TO THE
EAST OF GERMANY WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING POLITICAL ASYLUM (REFUGEE).
I HAVE DECIDED TO SEEK FOREIGN ASSISTANCE, AS THE GERMAN LAWS PROHITBITS
ASYLUM SEEKERS FROM OPARATING BANK ACCOUNTS OR INVOLVE IN FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS OF ANY KIND.HENCE THIS LETTER TO YOU.
ALL I NEED IS A TRUST WORTHY PERSON IN WHOSE CUSTODY I SHALL ENTRUST THE
ABOVE SAID AMOUNT AND HELP ME WITH INVESTMENT OPPORTUNTIES.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS, FIRSTLY, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF
THE
TOTAL AMOUNT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE OR GO INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH ME FOR
PROPER
INVESTMENT OF THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
WE SHALL DISCUSS IN DETAILS WHEN YOU REPLY. I AWAIT YOUR REPLY, WHILE I
IMPLORE YOU TO MAINTAIN THE ABSOLUTE SECRECY REQUIRED TO ENSURE A SAFE
AND
HITCH FREE TRANSACTION.I SHALL FURNISH YOU WITH MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.I
WISH YOU THE BEST IN LIFE (GENERALLY) AS I AWAIT FOR YOUR POSITIVE
RESPONSE.YOU CAN REACH ME ON THIS SAME E-ADDRESS.

I assume that they will require full proof of my id; ie bank details, signature etc etc....dream on guys!
This is just another form of the Nigerian scam, this time coming from the Netherlands.

This gentleman appears to be under the impression that I have only just finished celebrating New Year (I wish!).
As usual he has a dead mother and father, he lives in a refugee camp; but "grips" a certificate for a box in London containing $12M.
His spirit has moved him to contact me.
I think these guys need to consider hedging the dollar value of the "assets" they hold; given the collapse of the Dollar, their "wealth" is erodoing fast!
He very kindly informs me that I do not need to go to Africa.
All I need do is email or call him, he looks forward to hearing my voice...don't hold your breath matey.

This gentleman is offering me a healthy 5% on a property deal worth $230M.
Now that's easy money!
All I have to do is act as property agent for him and his money which is, of course, in escrow.
All he needs from me are a few details, so that he can discuss the "modalities".
Don't think so chummy.
Dear sir,
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATE
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties in
your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of
the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria.

the funds to your country in a convenient bank account that will be provided by
you before we can put the funds into use in your country. For this, you shall be
considered to have executed a contract for the Federal Ministry of Works and
Housing in Nigeria for which payment should be effected to you by the Ministry.
The contract sum of which shall run into US$230 Million, of which your share
shall be 5% if you agree to be our overseas agent.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully
transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring some
estates abroad. You shall also serve as our agent.
In the light of this, I would like you to forward to me the following
information:
1. Your company name and address
2. Your personal fax number
3. Your personal telephone number for easy communication.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal through my

Now that's easy money!
All I have to do is act as property agent for him and his money which is, of course, in escrow.
All he needs from me are a few details, so that he can discuss the "modalities".
Don't think so chummy.

This lady wrote to me three times today.
She claims to be a mother of three (all together now "aaaahhhh!!"), and the deputy minister for minerals in South Africa.
She is offering me a share of $18.5M if I help get her late husband's money (coming from diamonds of course) out of the country. He was a businessman who was vast and successful (or was it his business that was vast?)
Rather ironic (or using her words "strange and surprising") that she picked me, as I did once work for De Beers.
Do I believe her story, no!
From: Mrs. Susan Shabangu.
Greetings to you,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,
and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However
strange or surprising this contact might seem to you
as we have not met personally or had any dealings in
the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration
of its importance and the immense benefit it will be
to you.
After careful consideration with my children, we
resolved to contact you for your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize
for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not
acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a
person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly
to you. My name is Mrs. Susan Shabangu, mother of
three and the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy
of The Republic of South Africa for seven years
running.
I will now give you a general overview of the
situation. When I was sworn in as Deputy Minister of
Minerals and Energy in 1996, with my influence, my
husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu a very successful
businessman was awarded several contracts in my
ministry and had direct dealings with foreign
investors in this field. Due to my political status, I
was not involved in my husband's business which was
very vast and successful. My beloved husband died
whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in
February 2001.
When my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin
by a private security firm in Europe to come forth
with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety
deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name. At
that time, my children and I did not have an idea
where the Certificate might be. We then instructed the
security firm to continue holding the safety deposit
until further instructions from me. Whilst preparing
for the second remembrance of my beloved husband, I
was going through his library collection and to my
astonishment I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for
the safety deposit with this private security firm,
and other documents relating to the safety deposit in
a book. The safety deposit which is a trunk, is
stocked with hard currency (US Dollars)totalling
$18,500,000 which was generated from cash payments
from his business associates in the diamond trade from
Antwerp, Belgium.
Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond
business, I did not have the knowledge that he moved
funds in cash. This has came as a shock to me and my
children, and we have decided to have this fund
invested immediately in commercial and residential
properties abroad as well as profitable ventures, as
any member of my family cannot hold such a huge
amount in our name due to my political status, hence
we sincerely propose to you to render us your most
needed assistance in this regard.
If you agree to render us your assistance, your role
in this project will be to act on my behalf as a
trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the
funds from the Security firm. Though I believe this
transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's
interest will be protected by a family associate, who
is my son . He is now aware of the safety deposit, and
I have informed him that I am locating one of my
husband's business associates (you) to handle the
funds and invest on our behalf.
For your reliable assistance, we are offering you 15
%($2,775,000) of the funds. I thank you in advance as
we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve
this goal.
On hearing from you, I will forward your contact to
my son and give you his contact for both of you to
communicate and proceed with the transaction.
He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of
the process and I look forward to a long lasting
business relationship with you. As you may
understand,due to my sensitive position in the present
government,it is not safe to communicate with me via
phone or fax.
This is why I have communicated with you with my
private email address, and I like us to keep this way,
for the safety of this transaction.
With warm regards,
MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy
South Africa

I came across an interesting article on the website of the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The article notes that the Nigerian Authorities are taking measures to recover laundered money, which has been deposited in UK bank accounts. The money was laundered for the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
The British Financial Services Authority (FSA) estimates that in excess of $1.3BN has been laundered through British bank accounts, between 1996 and 2000, by Abacha's henchmen.
The full article can be accessed here.
