Urgent Attention,


I am Mr.Ban Ki-Moon, Unted Nation Secretary for International Affairs.

Following series of complains from Citizens of the United States as well as
Citizens of Other Countries In Europe over the Discrepancies and fraudulent
ways in which fund transfers are handled by Africans which has made it
impossible for a lot of People to claim their Winning or Inheritance funds
from most African Countries due to frauds and illegal activities, A decision
was reached recently by the United Nation and United States Treasury
Department under the authority of the White House to compel African Financial
bodies (Banks) to urgently release all funds of American,Asia and European
citizens that are trapped in most Banks and Courier Companies in Africa.

(Nice capitalization here.  And fantastic grammar.  As soon as you see Africa in one of these emails...delete it!  Scam, scam, scam.)

It was discovered that some bureaucratic bottlenecks was put by these Banks
and Couriers to make it impossible for beneficiaries to claim their funds so
that they will fraudulently divert those funds to their private accounts.

Consequent upon the aforementioned, I was personally mandated to handle this
matter to ensure that all funds of foreign Citizens and others which are
fraudulently being trapped in African Banks are urgently retrieved and paid to
the actual Beneficiaries under a legal manner. Our team of experts were
delegated to Benin Republic, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana for this task and
we discovered your File NO: BR227/9005666/00 as unclaimed fund. It was
discovered that officials of the Bank has only put up illegal requirements in
order to make it difficult for you to claim your fund.

The United Nation, Department of Treasury has retrieved all Files of illegal
transactions and we will be working under a legitimate arrangement to ensure
that you follow the normal process to receive your fund.

Yet another classic Nigerian scam.  Do NOT provide personal information.  Do NOT send them money.  There IS no fund with your name on it!!!  Remember - if it looks too good to be true...IT IS!
