Mr. Kenneth Tyler
Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
99 Queen Street, Melbourne
VIC 3000,Australia.
Date: 6th March 2004

Dear friend,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for your
unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction requiring maximum
confidence. Though this approach appears desperate, I can assure you that
whatever questions you would need to ask or any other thing you will need
to know regarding this proposal will be adequately answered to give you a
clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful conclusion.
My name is Mr. Kenneth Tyler, Head of Securities, Commonwealth Bank of
Australia, Melbourne. On February 17, 2002, a foreign consultant/contractor
with the Asea Brown and Boveri Ltd, Mr. Enrique Salcedo, made a numbered time
(fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00, (Twenty
Million United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent
a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Asea Brown
and Boveri (the energy giant), that Mr. Salcedo died from an automobile
accident.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Salcedo did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in
our Bank.

Due to the funds being temporarily unclaimable, the funds have being moved out
of our bank ( as sundry funds )to an offshore Deposit Company in the European
Union. From past experiences, I know that no one will ever come forward to
claim the deceased funds. According to Australian Law, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the funds will be Unclaimable and revert to the ownership of the
Australia Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction with a colleague
(the Chief Operating Officer in the bank) now seek your permission to allow my
attorney do a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT of stated funds from the "deceased" to your name, so that the funds (US$20million) would be
released to you as the new owner (on behalf of me and my colleague). We are
writing you because, as public servants, we cannot operate a foreign account
or have an account that is more than AUS$160,000:00. Consequently, you will be
presented as the owner of the funds in the Deposit Company so you can be able
to claim them, after all necessary paperwork has being effected. For us to
commence, I will like you to provide the following information immediately;
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive these information, I will prepare the necessary documents which
will put you in place as the new owner of the funds. The money will then be
released to your custody by the Deposit Company, for us to share in the ratio of
70% for us and 30% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the solicitor and this will guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
If you are interested, please reply via my email address. Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with more details, and further explanation that will
help you understand the transaction.
No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive, please we imploy you to
observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction would be
most profitable for both of us because we shall require your assistance to
invest our share in your country (Real estate and any other ideas you may
have), this
is why your urgent action and response is of great essence which will enable us
conclude this transaction in a timely and professional manner.
I await your swift response hoping you accept my proposal, as time is of equal
essence in this project as well as is confidentiality. Your response should be
to my private email address:
(ken_tyler20@yahoo.com.hk)
Thank you and have a nice day.
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Kenneth Tyler.


This has to be one of the funniest scam e-mails I have ever gotten.

 

Until you get it or a similar one for the umteen thousandth time. I bet I get 10 - 12 of these a week. They all seem to get by my spam blocker. At least most of them end up in my bulk mail file where I just delete all correspondence at once.

 

wow, that tyler guy seems like a very generous person!

2 things i love about this one:

1) the volley of legal sounding words in the first few lines. maybe if they spread out those big words thru the whole thing, it would be less obvious of a scam? eh... probly not!

2)
lmao, 'adequately' answered. just enough to get your info, but still leave you clueless. just awesome

 

Wow go for it man you'll be rich LOL!!!

 

I even went through the trouble of forwarding this e-mail to the bank he says he works at. Hopefully they can find this guy and bring legal action against him for impersonating someone else. LOL
