Attn: Recipient,


The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) was created in 1991 as a subsidiary organ of the UN Security Council. Its mandate is to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage suffered as a direct result of unlawful scam invasion carried out by some banks, Security Company and other payment agencies.
In its decision 13 January 2012, the Governing Council established basic principles for the distribution of compensation payments to successful claimants. This decision was made two months before the resolution of the first installment of claims before the Commission. As stated in the Secretary-General's report of 17th of January, it was anticipated that the value of approved awards would far exceed the resources available in the Compensation Fund at any given time. The Governing Council therefore devised a mechanism for the allocation of available funds to successful claimants that gave priority to the three urgent categories of claims and which, within each category, would give equal treatment to similarly situated claims. Only when each successful claimant in categories "A", "B" and "C" had been paid an initial amount up to US$500,00! 0.00.

Good day,

I am Mr. Tim Tookey, the Group Finance Director of LLoyds Banking Group United Kingdom.

I am contacting you for a legitimate business transaction strictly for you and me alone. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of USD$95,000,000.00 (NINETY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) here in our bank.The owner of this dormant account died on 4th Jan 2002. Since his death, nobody has operated in his account because the account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it.

According to our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS, this dormant fund will be confiscated by law if it remains dormant for a period of [9] Nine years without any claim.I therefore solict for your sincere cooperation in transferring this dormant fund to your foreign account as the foreign beneficiary of the fund to avoid confiscating it by our bank.

HOW THE TRANSACTION CAN BE HANDLED: As the group finance director of our bank, all our client account details and file are in my possession and that makes it easy for me to include your name as the beneficiary of the fund in all necessary documents involving the money we wish to transfer out from our bank.Most importantly, you will be required to:

(1). Act as the original beneficiary of the funds.

(2). Receive the funds into a business/private bank account.

(3). At the completion of this transaction, the sharing rates shall be 60% for me while 40% for you.

I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer.Firstly, I will transfer $5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will nominate. After a successful transfer of the fund, I will fly to meet you in your home destination for sharing. Thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of $90,000,000.00 for big investments.

This transaction will be done in a legitimate procedure within 6 banking days to avoid any breach of the law. Sharing will be 60% for me and 40% for you. If you are willing to cooperate in this transaction.

Reply now to my private email: tim009tookey@yahoo.com.hk

Anticipating for your positive response for more details.

Yours truly,

Spam email with subject as Good day!!! from Mrs.Anna van Gogh. The message extract is as shown below

Dear Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,having known the truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & his mercies and glory upon my life.

I am Mrs.Anna van Gogh the wife of Mr Harold van Gogh,my husband worked with the shell in Netherlands for twenty years before he died in the year 2001.We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband 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 US$3.5M.(Three Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Asia.Presently,this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of this money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.Presently,I’m in a hospital in Netherlands where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

Spam email with subject as Cry Of Orphan / From Anita — ADVICE from Anita Molamba. The email message extract is as shown below

Introduction:

I am Anita the only child of Mr. Abbas S. Molamba a licensed solid mineral (gold, diamond, etc) exporter before he passed away. My father apparently married a woman who became my stepmother because my mother died when i was very young.

My stepmother already had two daughters of about my age, and they came with her to live in my Father’s house. I discovered that there was some ill-feeling from my stepmother towards me, since then i have been badly treated; being forced to undertake work befitting only a servant, in my father’s own house. When my father died instead of being in the state of mourns as custom demand, she went as much as desired and claimed my father’s property as well into the future regarded as a possible danger to my live.

My father before passing away informed me privately that he had an account valued nine million, two hundred and ten thousand Euro ( 9,210,000 ) which he intend to transfer into his foreign associate’s account for investment abroad , this money he acquired from the export contract he secured and executed under the umbrella of the government.

IMMEDIATE CONTRACT PAYMENT.CONTRACT #:

MAV/NNPC/FGN/MIN/009.

Attn: Beneficiary

This is to inform you that the Presidency has stepped into the payment of your contract / inheritance fund. The instruction to this Board to authorize your payment was given by the President himself Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua following intelligence report on contract payment he received which revealed that the lower offices and department including some departments of Apex bank are engaging in the practice of payment delays through unnecessary use of bureaucratic office processes and imposition of unauthorized fees. This apart has been allegations that some officials of NNPC and CBN deliberately divert funds approved with the name of a beneficiary to accounts that were not given by the known contractor/ inheritor after the due processing and approval of such payment.

To avoid and curtail such official misconduct and deliberate delay of foreign contractor?? payment under one flimsy reason or the other, the President of the Country therefore mandated me the newly elected Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to raise contractor?? and inheritance payment and ensure that such payments are received by the beneficiary within a short period of five (5) days from the day of notice.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money.Unfortunately i discovered that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of the funds behind for claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that i and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go back into government treasury as unclaimed bill.

Watch out for Spam email with subject as Assalamu alaikum!!! from Khalid Abdul-aziz. The email message text is as shown below

Dear Beloved
Assalamu alaikum!!!
My contacting you is based on trust. I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger on daily bases. And I am quite certain that life is vanity; the only life worth living is a life of service to the almighty One God, most merciful, most compassionate and most benevolent. This is the reason for my present decision based absolutely on taqwa.
I am Khalid the only surviving child of the Gen. Abdulaziz Shihab, one of the UNITA rebel leaders of Angola. My late father fought the agonising protected Angolan civil war from the very scratch, and was in charge of selling diamonds and other solid minerals of the rebel strong hood area, as well as purchasing arms and am munitions in return. This position made him very rich and powerful. So powerful that the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi the head and founder of the UNITA guerrillas felt threatened that he planned to get rid of my father.
As much as I can remember, one Sunday I was away with my mother when a handful of soldiers obviously sent by the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi went to our house and killed my father, my two sisters and brother. They also executed everyone that bear ed the same surname with us in my village, thus making sure that we were completely wiped out the surface of the earth. An aid loyal to my father met with me and my mother and sneaked us to Zambia a neighbouring country, from where we travelled to London, My mother died of extreme cancer a month ago here and here am I on my sick diagnosed of HIV 1 & 2 i.e. full blown AIDS and I have a few months to live. Three months ago my late mother took me to the Bank Finance Company where my late father deposited large sum of money ($2.5m) he acquired during the war, and I took posses ion. I do not want this money to get into wrong hands by means of intestate laws.

I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On March 15, 2004, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, Mohammad Al Nasser made a fixed deposit with my bank in 2004 for 36 calendar months, the mature date for this deposit contract was this 14 of March 2007.
Sadly he was among the death victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disaster in Jawa, Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end.

Dearest one,
Good day,I am Leaticia Brimah the only daughter of Mr.SIMON BRIMAH a licensed solid mineral (gold, diamond, etc)exporter before he passed away.
Before his untimely death, my father apparently married a woman who became my stepmother because my mother died when i was six years. My stepmother already have 2 children for her former husband before she got married to my father who are almost my age, and they came with her to live in my Father’s house.
I discovered that there was some ill-feeling from my stepmother towards me since after the death of my late Dad, since after then I have been badly treated; being forced to undertake work befitting like a servant in my own father’s house. When my father died instead of being in the state of mourns as custom and traditional demanded, she went as much as desired and claimed my father’s house properties etc which in future regarded as a possible danger to my live.

From Mr. Leon Jones
Fidelity Investment UK.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Leon Jones, A Fund Manager Executive with Fidelity Investment UK, the world leading Investment & Fund Management Institution based in UK/Channel Island. I have an investor under my portfolio with a closing balance of GBP £15.745,000.00 as his first initial deposit. This investor died four years ago without a written WILL or AUTHORIZATION for re-transfer of his investment and its accrued interest to the INHERITOR.
I have personally carried out an investigation on the subject matter that took me 12 months to finalize and was made to understand that the family or relatives of the investor knows nothing about his investment with Fidelity and none have any record of all his deposits and investment with us, thereby creating an avenue for claiming of the said funds with its accrued interest on presentation of a trustworthy person that can stand as the INHERITOR to the deceased.
