Dear Friend
As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. Mrs Helen Steward a 69 years Old British citizen presently in a care home in Netherlands
I have been diagnosed with Cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the Haiti, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit in a finance/Security Company in Holland. I Want you to help me collect this money an set of A FOUNDATION All
  you need to do is to claim the m
I have set aside some part of the money for you and for your time. If you are interested contact me via this email mrsshelensteward@aol.co.uk All the details and documentation you will need to claim the funds and set the foundation will be given to you when you contact me.

Thank You and God be with you.

Looks like the Nigerian scammer crowd is finally hopping on the BP bandwagon.

In this case, you’ve reached someone who is only about 1300 or so miles away from the Gulf of Mexico.

Better luck next time, moron.

The following is a statement from the real Brent Coon & Associates who contacted me regarding this scam. Their representative was actually quite pleasant about the whole thing, so I offered them some space here in the hope that it might help shed a bit more light on this scam and make it clear that the real Brent Coon & Associates are not involved with these scam e-mail messages:

It has been brought to our attention that an email scam regarding the BP Oil Spill Claims Process has been making its way around the internet.  The email in question uses the name Barrister Brent Coon.  For obvious reasons, it’s disconcerting that a scam email is making its way around the internet using our name (whether coincidentally or not).  We would like to make it clear that this email certainly wasn’t generated by anyone associated with Brent Coon & Associates.  While we are currently involved in the oil spill litigation, our goal is to help the victims of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill recover any damages they have suffered as a result of this tragedy through legal and legitimate means.  It is unfortunate that some would use this tragedy as a means to obtain personal information for unscrupulous use.

Thank you,

Brent Coon & Associates

He left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents related to the deposit still in my possession. Recently, the financial company contacted me asking for the next of kin to the funds or funds may be declared to the government as unclaimed.

Upon a clear and legitimate agreement with you, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin, so that my late client’s funds will not be confiscated by the Financial Authority.

You will be entitled to 40% of the total fund, 50% for me while 10% is to be marked out for any expenses that will be incurred during the clearance process of transfer of the fund to your bank account. Be informed that there is no risk involved as all necessary legal documents that will be used to back you up as the legal beneficiary and next of kin of my late client will be procured.

Kindly, get in touch with me by my e-mail (johan.bosch@live.nl) or telephone (+31 64 541 5206) to enable us discuss further.

You should also send your telephone number so I can call you when necessary. Do not forget that a transaction of this magnitude requires utmost confidentiality and sincerity.

I look forward to your urgent response.

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr.Nelson
Fernandez  who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in  the year 2007.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a  brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were
both born  again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 25Million Dollars
(Twenty Five Million United State Dollars) with a Bank in 
Amsterdam-Netherlands. Presently, This  Money is still with the Security Company. 
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three 
months due  to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having  known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to Charity or better
still a  Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct  here in. I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches,
orphanages  and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God  is  maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I 
took  this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money  and my husband
relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my  husband’s hard earned
money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want  a  situation where this money
will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the  reason  for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am  going. I know that I am going to be in
the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS  14  says that the lord will fight my
case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t  need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health and  because  of the presence of my husband’s relatives
around me always. I don’t  want  them to know about this development. With God all
things are possible. As  soon  as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank in

Greetings,

I am Christopher Evans. A financial consultant and analyst based in London, and i was a former financial consultant to Late Mr. Morris Thompson, an American citizen who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.This you can confirm with the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261

I decided to contact you purely on the personal conviction of trust and confidence to assist in distributing the funds left behind by my client. My deceased client, had a deposit of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pound Sterling (GBP 5.5 Million) which I helped him to open in one of the leading banks here in London two years before his death. Being his former financial and business consultant,I still possess the evidence and the whole paper documents of this deposit with his bank and hence the bank has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or beneficiary, otherwise the account would be CONFISCATED since nobody has come forward to lay claims on the money since his death.

My search for his relative was not successfull and my proposition to you is to seek your consent and to present you as a relative/next-of-kin and beneficiary to my client, so that the proceeds of this account could be paid to you and we share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.Kindly note that all legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided, what i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. Moreover, this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision is do let me know as i await your utmost response so we can proceed with this transaction.Write me via my private email on (chris.evans@msn.com).

I am Johnson Motene Lucas, an Accountant with Capitec Bank South Africa. My boss, Richard Viser, who is the Chief Executive Officer, has made a huge profit since he assumed office in 2006. He has equally contributed to the enhancement of the well being of the staffs of Capitec Bank. However, he will be retiring from his position by December 2010.

Due to this development, he asked me to seek for an individual or corporate body that can receive the sum of Seventeen Million, two hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars (US$17.250M) in any designated account that he/she might provide in any choice country.

This sum of US$17.250 Million realized from undeclared taxes and abandon funds was discovered after the current auditing of the bank. We have agreed with other colleagues involved to put up all the necessary documents required and to ensure we get a reliable person who can secure this sum pending our readiness for disbursements.

Sequel to this development, your role will be only securing this sum by providing account details where this fund will be transferred into, and also your private email address, phone / fax numbers for easier communications. This will enable us expatiate action to ensure a hitch free transaction. As soon as you respond to this, we will open an immediate communication with you.

Therefore upon finalization, 30% of the total sum of US$17.250 Million will be release to you for your assistance in secure this sum.

Finally, we are assuring you that this transaction will be concluded within 21 working days. Please you are kindly advised to contact me as I will be your guide in the conclusion of this transaction.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Johnson Motene Lucas
