Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

This is a scam mail. The writer of this email is not a gentleman dying of cancer, but a scammer seeking to steal your money.

The scammer hopes that his pretence of wanting to make a charitable donation to earthquake victims in Haiti and other charities will encourage you to help him. In reality, the scammer does not intend to give most of his money to charity, nor to give any money to you. He does not have a 'huge cash deposit' with a Finance Vaulting Unit.

He will pretend that some fee or other payment will be needed to be sent by you before his 'huge cash deposit' can be released or transfered. But there is no 'huge cash deposit' - he has invented it. No money will ever be released or transfered, neither to charity organisations, nor to yourself.

Attention Beloved

I am Mr. Frank Smith .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, the last of my money which no one knows of is

the huge cash deposit that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit. I will want you

to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B:Kindly note that 60% of this funds must go to the Haiti Earth Quake victims,35% to other

Charity Organization and 5%for your effort and time. I cannot talk with you on
the phone due to my health situation, as I am using my Lap Top Computer
to communicate with you. i can also speak on phone but very little and

low voice because of the stitches on my throat.

God be with you

Regards
Mr Frank Smith
