Subject: Greetings my dear friend
My Dear friend,
My Name is Mrs. ANNA H.BURNN, from Norway. I know that this message will be a surprise to you. Firstly, I am married to Mr. Patrick BURNN, A gold merchant who owns a small gold Mine in Syria; He died of Cardiovascular Disease in mid-March 2011. During his life time he deposited the sum of 8.5 Million Euro) Eight million, Five hundred thousand Euros in a bank in Ouagadougou the capital city of Burkina Faso in West Africa. The deposited money was from the sale of the shares, death benefits payment and entitlements of my deceased husband by his company.
I am sending this message to you praying that it will reach you in good health, since I am not in good health condition in which I sleep every night without knowing if I may be alive to see the next day. I am suffering from long time cancer and presently i am partially suffering from a stroke illness which has become almost impossible for me to move around. I am married to my late husband for over 4 years before he died and is unfortunately that we don't have a child, my doctor confided in me that i have less chance to live. Having known my health condition, I decided to contact you to claim the fund since I don't have any relation I grew up from the orphanage home,
I have decided to donate what I have to you for the support of helping Motherless babies/Less privileged/Widows' because I am dying and diagnosed of cancer for about 2 years ago. I have been touched by God Almighty to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for good work of God Almighty. I have asked Almighty God to forgive me and believe he has, because He is a Merciful God I will be going in for an operation surgery soon
This is the reason i need your services to stand as my next of kin or an executor to claim the funds for charity purposes. If this money remains unclaimed after my death, the bank executives or the government will take the money as unclaimed fund and maybe use it for selfish and worthless ventures, I need a very honest person who can claim this money and use it for Charity works, for orphanages, widows and also build schools for less privilege that will be named after my late husband and my name; I need your urgent answer to know if you will be able to execute this project, and I will give you more information on how the fund will be transferred to your bank account.
Thanks,
Mrs. ANNA H.BURNN
I received this letter – EXACTLY as printed above on March 11, 2020. I guess she’s still hanging on! I wrote back to her telling her that I had been scammed before and was extremely cautious about the possibility of this occurring again. We’ve had multiple correspondence – I asked for photos of her, some sort of identification, etc… She sent me a copy of her passport, photos of “her” in a hospital bed and certificate of deposit, as well as an application to change account NOK. She wanted me to contact my bank, but since I did not want to intermingle funds (just in case there might be a problem) I put the address of the bank that I wanted everything to be transferred to as the same branch – in New York City. I left the account number blank, with instructions that they would inform me as to what to do when it came time to “actually open the account.”
The “bank” responded telling me that they would change everything – BUT I had to have two documents completed before they would make the change… the first would be an “affidavit of claim” and the second was a “change of ownership certificate.” This came from an Iroh N. David Legal Chambers. Except when I looked up in the internet, the email address goes to a law firm of the Hon. Barrister Iroh N. Kadiogo, and not the Hon. N. David Legal Chambers (I.L.C) which submitted to me an invoice of 2,460 euros ($2,649.85) in order to do the necessary paperwork. Of course – this must be done immediately because she was having surgery this week and she wasn’t sure if she was going to make it – and she “wanted to make sure that all necessary paperwork was completed before her passing.” Everything was fine until I got this invoice – and NOW of course I believe everything must come to a complete stop until I find out if there is indeed a patient at the hospital she says she’s at, if she’s indeed being treated by the MD that she claims, and finally if in fact the attorney actually exists – if this paperwork is really going to go where it’s supposed to be. So now – before I lay out ONE PENNY… I’m doing some MORE investigating – because if something looks too good to be true, it almost always is!
I hope that finding the exact same Email on a website that publishes scam Emails will help you realise what is the likely outcome.
