This is a collection of Letters relating to the ongoing 4-1-9 Scam. You'll probably get them in your email if you don't have proper SPAM or phisher protection. People writing these are really stupid and most reside in Lagos, Nigeria. Never trust anyone from Nigeria when it comes to doing business online.
I bolded a few things on this one. Every time I try to bargain like instead of 30/70 I ask for 50/50, they reply and agree. Everytime I ask for 110% more or less, they don't bother replying.
Dear Friend.
Before I will introduce myself, I would like to assure you that
this is Not a junk mail.
I hope and pray to GOD that I have the right person.As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr faroog yousuf, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal 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 onmy 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 Godhas called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assetsto 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 alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of thelast good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,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 nottrust 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 of twenty seven million dollars $27,000,000,that I have with a finance/Security Company here in Dubai.I decided to contact a confidential personality who can remit this money into a foreign account for charity organizations .The money is now in a security company here in Dubai (U.A.E).so i would like you to be of help to us and you will benefit
from it.I have decided to give you 30% of the money for your assistance,60% to to the charity and 10% will be used to cover any expenses that we might incure.

FIRST NAME:
