The newest scam letter comes from Spain. Mrs. Lienhua Qian Jiang introduced herself as Bills and Exchange Manager or the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (中国工商银行), Oficina Central in Valencia, Spain. And she has written to Germany. If you receive such a letter, better don’t get greedy and try to get 40% of 22.5 million US$. Simply file the letter or fax in your wastebasket.

The link attached to this message only show one side of the story, but the other side of the story is that I lost close friends that I have until this moment find it very difficult to console their loved once that they left behind.

The reason why the Taliban organized such a huge force to attack us was that few hours before we had intercepted a money trail that we confiscated and was still in our champ, the amount is about 9,000,000,00 Million US Dollars.
Unfortunately, they could not over power us but a lot was lost that day and because of this, myself and a couple of my team mates decided to hand the funds which are already in a box for storage until we have the confidentiality required to move out the funds.
The families of those that lost their loved ones will like nothing more than a little offering from their father’s dedication. And that is why I am contact you in confidence for your assistance to help retrieve the funds into your custody.
This operation have been carefully thought of and I can assure you it is risk free. If you accept, I will like know to have a confidential contract with you so our privacy protection and then further details will be provided to you.
The sharing of the funds will be discussed before the agreement will be signed all of these is to ensure that we all have accepted to be partners in this operation.
Thank you for taking your time to read this message and I am expecting your responds in my private Email : clifton_romesha@yahoo.com

Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha"
There's one question to ask: Why should Clinton Romesha contact me? And another question, even more interesting, how did he get my email address? And I don't think that Clinton Romesha contacted me. Another scam to lure the greedy.

And another one by "Antonio Crespo", who wants to split 9.500.000 € between himself and the fax receicer. He poses as a lawyer in Lisboa. A distant relative, whom I never heard of, died in a car crash and ... the usual scheme of scam letters from Nigeria.
