    Sorry for the delay in your inheritance payment, because of the
    distraction we have from Mr.Axenidou Antigoni,Prof Charles Soludo and

    you are dead, and my wife is in trouble now because she is the only
    one who knows that you are alive but there are greedy people over here
    who did not want you to receive what belong to you, and they have
    conspired a great deal to transfer my wife to World Bank in
    Switzerland so that my wife will not sue them to court, so please we
    want to be sure before releasing your fund, did you send them to claim
    your $10.5m dollars, if not, reconfirm.

I’m Dr. DR. CALEB Martins, the Auditor General of ABSA, in the course of our audit, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 2009 and since 2012 nobody on this account again operated. After going through some old files in it strings, I discovered that the owner of the account died without an heir; so the money floating and if I did not transfer the money out urgently it forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Allan P. Seaman, a foreigner, and an industrialist, he died since 2010. And no other person knows about this account or anything about you, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Allan P. Seaman until his death was the manager of Diamond Safari (Pty) South Africa. We want this sum US $ 10,500,000 (ten million five hundred thousand US dollars) into a safe foreigners account abroad, but I know no foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money is not to obtain a permit local person here, but can only be approved at each alien with a valid passport or driving license. The money is in US dollars and the former owner of Mr. Allan P. Seaman account is alien to and the money can be approved only in a foreign account. Considering the recommendation I received in your favor by the South African Chamber of Commerce in relation to their suitability and reliability in carrying out this transaction, I ask hereby for leniency for cooperating with me in this mutually beneficiary transaction. I reveal this to you, to believe in God, that you never disappointed me in this business, the first and only person who I contacted for this business, so please reply urgently so that I can inform the next step are to take.

With my influence and the position of the bank officials we can use this money to reliably balances of strangers that you provide to transmit with certainty that this money be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The Bank Official all documents of the transaction immediately we destroy this money received without a trace anywhere. How do these funds in your account. I will use my position and influence to obtain legal permits; because I want to apply for annual leave visa immediately.

Please, if you are on this transaction, please contact me. With these phone numbers, and over, and I will give you the procedure of the company I look forward to your earliest reply.

    This scam is sent from

    Mr. Mike <q20@fasticmails.com>

    Dear Beneficiary

    I am Mike Johnson Director Inspection Unit United Nations  Inspection Agent in JFK Airport New York. We are rounding up for the last Quater of the auditing, all abandom Consignment in US Airports are being transfer to our facilities here for inspection and confiscation. During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment on your name which was transferred to our facility here in New York and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money, rather it was declared as  personal effect to avoid diversion by the Diplomatic Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

    On my assumption, the boxes will contain more that $6M and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a Courier Dispatch Service. The Consignment is a metal box with weight of about 242LBS (Internal dimension:  W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.)Approximately.

    The details of the consignment including your name the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.

    I want to use my good office and clear the Consignment and deliver it to you. If you want us to transact the delivery for mutual benefit, you should provide your name, Phone Number and full address, to cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport around you and other details. You should send the required details to me for onward delivery.

    All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you will give me 30% of the amount contained in the boxes and i must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before i will proceed.

    I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the shipper have abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, Once i am through, i will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company to provide the security it needs to your doorstep. or i can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But i will share it 70% to you and 30% to me. But you have to assure me of my 30%. do respond to me if you are interested to conclude this with me.

    Please strictly reply to my private email; dipdipmikejohnson@gmail.com

    Looking forward to hear from you

    Best Regards,
    Mike Johnson
    INSPECTION OFFICER
