As an email address owner I get a lot of emails. Most of these emails come from people who are trying to help me and have nothing but my welfare in mind. I collected some of those emails just in order to prove to you, the cynical reader, that there are still kind people in this world who are willing to invest their precious time and energy just in order to help simple guys like myself in their efforts to advance in the world.

1. Take for example the first email below from Mr. Jibril Aminu who has been waiting patiently for me to come down there and pick my bank check. It was only due to his upcoming travel tomorrow to see his boss that he decided to contact me directly. Moreover, he already paid the delivering charges and the insurance fee, so that all I have to do is send him the security keeping fee of $100.00. As a reward Mr. Aminu is warning me not to be deceived by anybody. Isn't this warning alone worth the $100 security keeping fee?

2. Mr. Chen P. Guangyan, on the other hand, is not nearly as trusting as Mr. Aminu, and although his generosity cannot be questioned he is very careful. You cannot accuse him though since as the operations manager of the Bank of China he is very hesitant in giving away any unnecessary information (This is probably why he travelled all the way from Hong Kong to Australia in order to send me this email). All you need to know is that the mysterious Hamadi Hashem was killed during the war along with all his family and without declaring any next of kin. Unfortunately, according to the evil laws of Hong Kong the ownership of the fund which Mr.Hamadi had deposited secretly in the Bank of China will revert to the Hong Kong Government since nobody will claim it. This unbearable state of affairs bothered Mr. Guangyuan and he decided to email and inform me of this outstanding opportunity without any fear of the outcome since he knows that nothing comes easy in life and "nothing ventured nothing gained" as he says. All I have to do is give him my personal details and in return he will be willing to share the money in the ratio of 70% for him, 30% for me.
I don't know about you, but I admire Mr. Guangyan for his concern and generosity. It is only people like him which keep my hopes for the future of mankind alive. God bless you, Mr. Guangyan.

ATTENTION FRIEND GET BACK TO ME... FROM: MR.CHEN .P.GUANGYUAN Bank of China (Hongkong) Eastern Commercial Centre, 393-407 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
(mrchenguan@hotmail.com) Good Day, It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because you do not know me but I have a lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you. Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr.Chen .P.Guangyuan operations manager of the Bank of China (Hongkong), Eastern Commercial Centre, Wan Chai Branch. I have a obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Hamadi Hashem who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 24 calendar months, with a value of Seventeen million three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars(US$17,300,000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war early last year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Hamadi Hashem and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home at Mukaradeeb. http://www.iraqmemorialwall.org/iraqicasualties.html http://www.iraqbodycount.net/names.htm After further investigation it was also discovered that Hamadi Hashem did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Seventeen million three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration six {6} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Hamadi Hashem so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES: I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Hamadi Hashem, all that is required from you is to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. We are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents in your favour.There are a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is for you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you but this can be subjected to further negotiations. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. Please observe this instruction religiously. Should you be interested please send me your, 1. Full names, 2. Private phone number, 3. Current residential address, And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below: (mrchenguan@hotmail.com)
And finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about this
operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Mr.Chen .P.Guangyuan

3. Perhaps the only person whose care and generosity surpass those of Mr. Guangyan is Dr. Abba Muhammad, the finance director of the Nigerian Ports Authority. He and his colleagues happen to know about a sum of US$23.5M which is "floating" (it is only thanks to our good luck that it did not just sink) in the Bank of Nigeria and they just want to transfer it quickly to a safe foreign account so that they can invest it and thus enrich the poor people of Nigeria. Needless to say, I was honored to receive this email from such outstanding people as Dr. Muhammad and his colleagues who are willing to give me 30% of the money and listen to my investment advice while they want only 60% of it.
I need to say Good Bye now since I have to begin the preparations for hosting Dr. Muhammad and his colleagues who plan to come over here within a week or so. In any case, my financial situation looks very bright now thanks to people like Dr. Muhammad and his colleagues.
