Basically, when lads often cite articles to show the validity of their outrageous claims, I play on that saying I'm a news reporter who wrote that exact article.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To whom it may concern,

Your email has been received in warm hands and I sympathise deeply in the hearth with you. I am Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald, a news reporter at BBC and I actually wrote the very article you presented me with almost 15 years ago!! I am the author of http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm.

I am very glad I am able to talk with victims' families and would actually want people who I can interview over telephone. I can provide you with generous repayment during interview of up to 10,000 UK pounds

Sincerely and God bless,

Patrick Fitzgerald

I am Barrister Amos Sandile Khumalo. I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. I know this proposal will come to you as a surprise for the fact that we have not met before believing that transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive or worried but I can assure you that you will not regret been part of this mutual beneficial transaction.

SUBJECT: A deceased Client of mine Name withhold, A citizen of your Country whom here in shall be referred to as my client, made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$23.5Million Dollars (Twenty Three Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars Only with HSBC Bank(South Africa) on January 12,2000.My client was a Consultant, and contractor with the South Africa Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC).Upon maturity the Financial and Security Company sent a routine notification in accordance with the Company policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month they sent a reminder and finally it was discovered from his contract employers South Africa Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC) that My Client, his wife and two children died in the AF4590 France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise on Monday 31 July, 2000.

Please view this website for confirmation of the death of my client.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stmOn further investigation, I found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that my client did not declare any next of kin or relations in the Deposit paperwork with the Financial and Security Company. This sum of US$23.5million i understand was kept in the Financial and Security Company for safekeeping to enable him has direct and immediate access to the funds for a contract that he intended to execute. No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to the Government Law as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), South African Banking Edit of 1961 at the expiration of 9 years the money will revert to the ownership of the South African Government, if nobody applies for claim the fund.

After preliminary efforts of search for a direct family member which came to no avail, I decided to contact you. My suggestion is that I will like to present you as the beneficiary to this fund, I know you may not be anyway related to my late client but there is a possibility that the fund will be released to you. I guarantee that if you are willing and interested, I will put all in place in accordance with the Law to legally present you as the Next of Kin and true beneficiary.

This transaction is 100% risk free as I have worked all out to complete the operation effectively. Once this fund is released to you, it will be shared in the ratio of 40% for you, and 60% for me as our benefit. kindly indicate your interest by mail to: ([email protected])for more information. Please endeavor to get back to me whether you are willing to collaborate with me.

I wait for your prompt response.

Sincerely.

What kind of response do you get? Have any of these baits worked out? It sounds like it has potential but I wonder if letting them know that you know how old the article is could turn them off...
