Dear,Sir/Madam.

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me,since you do not know me personally, but for purpose of introduction.

I am MR. GEORGE PETER ANDERSON, the first son of DR. VANDERS ANDERSON, who was recently murdered in the land disputed in ZIMBABWE. I got your contact through my personal search for a honest and trustworthy individual,who can help my family in receiving this fund, for proper investment and safe keeping, And I decided to write to you, for assistance and business co-operation. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to oversea to deposit the total sum of(US$16,8Million United States Dollars ), with a security and finance company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.

The money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was made for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Switzerland.

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE, introduced a new Land Act which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted in killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, more than thirteen(13) people have been killed because of this Land Reform act.

Heads of governments from the west especially Britain have condemned Mugabe’s new Land Reform Act and for this reason,SADC(Southern African Development Community) heads of states have met and voiced their support for Mr.Mugabe. South African President and the President of Malawi have been sent by SADC to Britain to support Mugabe’s new Land Reform Act.

It is against this background, that I and my family who are currently staying in europe right now because of this problem, have decided to transfer my father’s money to a foreign account. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with this responsibility of seeking a genuine account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got and other African Governments seem to be playing along with them.

I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future since most of the countries have lost similar political history. However, the europian union Foreign Exchange Policy where i am right now, does not allow such investment as I am seeking for Asylum. I don"t want to disclose all the information about me, and where i am residing right now for fear of having my asylum request cancelled by the authorities in my host country,but immediately you get back to me, I will give you the necessary information.

As a businessman, whom I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk-free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. Therefore, if you accept to assist my family and me, we are willing to offer 30% of the total sum for your assistance needed,60% for me and my family while 10% will be mapped out for any pre-transfer charges or bank charges. I would wish to invest in your country on commercial properties and buying of rents based on your advice or from experts in your country.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, please, send me your contacts; your full name and address,telephone and fax numbers.

YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND SHOULD BE KEPT WITHIN YOU ALONE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE AND ACCEPTANCE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. PLEASE FORWARD YOUR REPLY TO THIS MY PRIVATE ADDRESS: andersonfamily@amuromail.com

REGARDS,

MR. GEORGE PETER ANDERSON (FOR THE FAMILY)

These days I receive almost one scam mail per day that I just delete without reading and I think it would be boring to post.

A couple of days ago I received a call from someone saying I won $100,000 dollars (in a lottery that I never bought) and for postage fee I have to send $300 dollars. I told the guy to deduct the $300 dollars and send the balance. He said the check is already made and he can't do that. I told him the postage costs less than one dallar, why he wants $300 dollars. He started mocking and said whether I want the money or not. Unfortunately I did not think quick enough to get all the information that he was going to give me and pass it to RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) So I told him that he is a thief and he has no conscience and why he does not search for a decent job and stop his deceitful way of making money. He said don't worry about my conscience and hanged.

Next time if someone calls me for that I know better.


A couple of days ago I also received an email saying that due to some mixups the Citybank wants to verify my account and I should fill my ATM number in a form that they sent.

Apparently the Internet scams are growing. This shows there are still some foolhardy people who fall for such scams.

Today I received this email

Note that they say my name came up as a winner yet they do not know my name and faithfreedomintl is mentioned instead, because that is on the email account. Also I never buy any lottery.

All you need to do is report these people to your provider: usually abuse@providername.com/uk

forward the mail including the header etc. so they can take appropriate measures. There's a few people on the web that made great fun of these t*rds.....one has an internetsite called 'scamletters' or something (it's hilarious if you've got the time) and there's also a bloke that actually 'arranged' to be picked up in kuwait or the UAE by a bunch of these clowns....he actually has their pictures (and their mobile number, in case you want to piss them off)....it's somewhere on Google too no doubt.

Knock yourself out. These people are just about as trustworthy as the Quran. I have no doubt that if Mahomet had lived today he would be using 419 scams to fill his pockets and spam the hell out of those western infidels.

I just signed up an account with yahoo (for a dummie account) and right away I got junk saying "you look just right for helping us invest our money from UAE/Yemen/Iran/somewhere else. Could you e-mail with your info". I said no go away. That happened twice. Not since. It's scary.

While clearing up the deceased estate of my parents recently I stumbled upon a book titled "The letter from Spain" by Frances Parkinson Keyes ...

The synopsis on the inside cover reads -

"That gag's as old as the hills" they said, when Allan Lambert told them about the letter from Spain , the letter from a mysterious prisoner who promised him a share in a large fortune if only Allan would pay a fine to help recover a suitcase which contained the necessary documents. "At least as old as Columbus," they said, and Allan knew they were right. Nevertheless, he persisted in his crazy intention of going to Spain to investigate. Why not? He was young; he had suddenly become unexpectedly rich and he had never had any fun. This is the story of what he found in Spain and how he became involved in a chain of fraud that might have ended ill for him."

The book was first published in 1959.
