Now I got to give this one high marks for creativity:


NEWCASTLE GENERAL HOSPITAL

Dear Sir,

I am a Medical Practitioner Dr Stephen Louw and I
am based here in the United Kingdom. I have a patient
I am treating privately because of her status, she is
the wife of a prominent politician in South Africa and
she is on political asylum here in the United Kingdom.
She is Mrs.Susan Yengeni and has been so ill for some
couple of months now she is suffering from breast
cancer. This woman confided in me based on the
free medical attention I have been giving to her and
revealed to me of her life ordeals; which is very
touching. Looking at her state due to her husband Mr.
Tony Yengeni who was arrested and charged to court
for a multi-billion dollars arms deal fraud which she
said was politically motivated by his enemies as her
husband was the Chairman of Parliament in South Africa
and the former Chief Whip of the ruling political
party ANC. She also told me that due to pressures from
family members on him to avoid going to jail which is
what his political enemies wants, he accepted to plead
guilty in exchange for his acquittal on corruption
charges which also led to his bank accounts in South
Africa and abroad frozen. Now things are really bad
for her husband and children who are still in South
Africa. Based on this she cannot even afford to take
care of her medical expenses here in the U.K which is
also why I am rendering her free medical attention.
Due to the fact that her husband is still been
monitored she was advised by him to stay back and
source for a credible and trustworthy partner abroad,
who will help in managing and investing some funds he
secretly deposited in a security firm for safe-keeping
some years ago in the sum of $15 MILLION US
DOLLARS(Fifteen million US Dollars)contained in
one sealed box.

He deposited this fund with a safe security company in
Europe which we shall disclose as we progress for
safe-keeping as family treasures and African artifacts
to avoid the official of the company from raising
any eyebrow. I wish and believe you will be in the
position to assist in managing this large sum for a
profitable venture and also to help create a safe
heaven for her and family by making a residential
arrangement for them in your country. After she had
disclosed this information to me,I saw the reason to
request from her to allow me see the documents
relating to this deposit of which she did, now I have
the documents covering the deposit which I will not
hesitate to send to you the copies as a prove for your
confirmation as soon as I receive your response
via my personal email address as stated below.
E-mail: [e-mail]


I have also done research on her husband and the
events for which I am convinced she is telling the
truth. I was opportuned to see more of her
predicaments by

1) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2756861.stm


2)http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/10/03/safrica.arms/index.html

I am obliged to assist this lady knowing too well that
she has a limited knowledge in the business world. I
will need from you a mutual understanding and then we
shall make plans of how the funds would be secured
into an account in your name. Moreover, you will
arrange and travel immediately to meet with the
security company in Europe for the clearing of the
consignment. This amount is contained in one sealed
trunk box and it is registered and declared as
containing family treasures and African artif From
my discussion with her, she has agreed to give
you a reasonable percentage for your assistance upon
negotiation.

Please treat this with utmost confidentiality.

Regards
Dr Stephen Louw

2. oops

Does that mean I can't get the money now? Darn.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Jeez

The scammers are getting more creative every day.

I'm also now getting a bunch of these involving churches and money.

Haven't seen this doctor one before, though.

But they all mention Africa at some point!

5. Yep, bet if you checked out the header,

you would probably see it originated in Nigeria, home of the scammers.

7. The links work

and the articles mention the man the author claims is her husband.

4. Here, send this in reply.

Dear Sir,

I send salutations from my country, the sovereign nation of Antarctica.

Now that I have carefully read your email, I cannot express to you the sheer scale of my incredulity.

I instantly considered your intentions to be criminal.

This is indeed a miracle. You actually chose little old me out of all the hundreds of millions of the world's other suckers.

However, I must respectfully decline your very kind offer, as I am already deliriously rich, due to my being an Internet tycoon.

I visited your beautiful country recently. I'm probably mistaken, but I am sure I saw your name on a wanted poster.

Anyway, I was so excited, I went out and purchased four oil refineries.

So you see, kind lady, I have very little use for the millions that you are asking me to look after. There is simply no more room left in my already overstuffed Swiss bank accounts.

Now, I have just had a wonderful thought. Perhaps I could be of more assistance to YOUR fellow scammers and crooks.

Listen: Why not simply provide me with all YOUR details (including bank account numbers, PIN numbers, etc.) and I will deposit heaps of lovely money into your account? There is no need for references, as I trust you implicitly. After all, you obviously have faith and trust in me.

Yours ever sincerely
Dr B.S. Hit
