ADAMU SHERIF Dear Friend. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Adamu Sherif, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.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, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty seven million dollars $27,000,000,that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.please send a reply through this email address (adasherif@netscape.net) with your full contact information for more private and confidential communication. God be with you. Adamu Sherif DR SHIPMAN Date: Thu Mar 11, 2004 5:03:53 AM US/Pacific My Dear Sir I dont know how you obtained this address and must admit some confusion. I am medical man with a small practice and have just read your message after a long, somewhat fraught day finishing off some patients. If really think that I can help you and this is not a mistake, then please let me know. As it happens I have need of some urgent funding as the we need a new Tardis in the scanning room. Either myself or Nurse Quims will reply SHIPMAN PS That cancer sounds nasty would you like a second opinion? I have a close friend, Dr Crippen of London who perhaps can be of some help, if you are ever in the UK or can fax over your medical reports. Dr Harold Shipman FRCS 69 Miracsky Road Dunin Herts England WAN KER1 Tel (0)90 5 000 4333 Fax (0) 90 5 000 4334 Here's an earlier message from Sherif to make your chronology complete. How the poor fellow, wracked with pain, can write so much is quite beyond a medical expert like myself.. ADAMU SHERIF From: adamu sherif <adamusherif@yahoo.com> Subject: Thank's You So Much, God Bless You! Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2004 00:23:31 -0800 (PST) Dear Harold Shipman, thanks for your mail and your concern.in my last mail to you i introduced myself and gave you a summary of the present predicament i have found myself and how i lived my life(financial-wise).my failing health has necessitated my present over view of life and the meaning of life itself as it relates to day-to-day living.even surgery which is a last resort has been done but the cancer has already spread into the stomach and intestines.if you would like,i can send you some personal photos in my next mail. it is for this same reason i have randomly searched through the internet email directory to find somebdy who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of US$27 (twenty seven)million dollars to charitable organisations as he or she deems fit,since i cannot do this myself due to my failing health.it was this random search that yeilded your contact email address with which i sent you my first email.note that this was just a probing move to establish contact,because i am sure you know as well as i do that most people would snatch at the offer considering the large amount involved and more also since the disbursement of this fund would be entirely in the hands of the claimant.for this reason i felt that after our initial communication i should be able to determine if we can proceed based on certain indices as well as intuitive feeling i would deduce. i hope my first mail did not emabarrass you? if it did,i apologise for this.the fund in questions is privately kept and i wanted to put it in capable hands for disbursement.other such funds that i left to my relatives to disburse to charity were all plundered and used for their personal purposes.for this reason i have decided that within the confines of my hospital room and the privacy of my computer(to which i have internet connection) to look for a suitable person to transfer ownership of the deposit to,and after claiming the money,disburse 90% of the $27 million dollars to various charitable organisations of your choice in various countries and then retain 10% of the money for your effort.the $27 million dollars is physical cash in $100 dollar bills packed inside two metallic trunk boxes deposited in the security vault of a private finance/security company in The Netherlands.this is not a business proposal and i do not expect any returns or share of the money.i am dying and i have distributed most of my earthly possessions to various individuals,groups and organisations.this deposit of $27 million dollars is the bulk of what is left.it is unknown to my other relatives.if i do not find a suitable person to disburse the funds as i plan to,then on my death the finance/security company holding the deposit would have to notify my next of kin to claim the deposit as stipulated on the deposit agreement.and from what i have seen of how they spent the other funds i designated for the same purpose,leaving the fund in their care would be a collosal waste of all i have worked and lived for. if you would be able to help me fulfil this last living request,i would need you to get back to me on the following issues, 1.that you are in a position to be trusted with such a large amount of fund,and that you have a heart for charity and thus would not have any problems locating the rigth charity and human aid groups to disburse the fund to.it would be nice to know what charities you have in mind to donate the money to. 2.that you are ready to contact my lawyer in The Netherlands who will finalise the process for this transaction,send you all relavant deposit documents as well as send you the necessary authorisation document to retrieve the deposit on my behalf and disburse the fund. 3.that you are willing to contact the security company holding the deposit to discuss the terms of releasing the trunk boxes and bear the expenses that would be involved so the deposit can be released to you. 4.that you fully understand this transaction up to this stage and you are ready to proceed under these terms. thanks for sending your full contact details as i requested.i shall be sending your contact details to my lawyer just incase we reach and accord to proceed.i await your response to the issues raised here. i await further communication. Regards, Adamu Sherif ADAMU SHERIF From: adamu sherif <adamusherif@yahoo.com> Subject: my response Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:15:05 -0800 (PST) Dear Harold, thanks for your beautiful mail.my confidence in you soars with every mail you send.i do not intend to give you any specific list of charities to give the money to.i am leaving that to your discretion.as long as the money touches as many lives as possible.i may not know the specific people that would eventually recieve the aid and benefits,but i would be satisfied knowing that lives have been touched and changed through my assistance.its like feeding the birds,you do not need to know them or where they come form.you just derive pleasure knowing that you have provided food to living creatures who would be happier and better for it.that is the way life should be.this is my new approach to life and existence. by way of further introduction,before my illness i was a chattered accountant running a private accounting firm that managed accounts for some major league players in the U.A.E oil economy.my wife died two years ago in a car accident and i have no children of my own. its also nice to hear that you are having more fate in what i am saying to you.lying on my sick bed sometimes i have realised that nothing is too uncertain to be true. two years ago,if i had been told that i would find myself in this condition i would have doubted it.now it is for real and i have to cope with it.my illness has changed my approach to life and how things work.ordinarily i could have gotten some big time attorney to handle this issue,but i wanted it to be random.there are a lot of random energy that make up life itself.some call this fate and some call it destiny.the same factor brought me cancer and it is now bringing you a unique opportunity to be of service to mankind.that is the way it works. with regards to the expenses required to secure the release of the deposit,i really cannot help you with that.i only know that there are some cost involved but for now i cannot tell you how much it is.my lawyer will be giving yo more information on that when he contacts you,but i do not believe it is much.but you wll have to take care of this cost.most of my wealth and possession have already been given to various charities or plundered by my relatives.that deposit with the security company is the only possession i have left.that is why i really want it to be put to beneficial use.during this period of my illness,i have met a couple of people at random that are probably the best people i have ever met.that is why sending you that first email and getting your reply was a thrill to me. find attached to this mail some of my pictures.from the pictures you can see that the disease has really eaten deep into me and it is very necessary that we try to conclude this matter as soon as possible.the most important thing now is for you to secure the release of the deposit so i am assured the money will not be put to waste. to proceed with this transaction,i have sent your contact details to my lawyer in The Netherlands and he will be contacting you to finalise the details for this transaction.he would be able to answer your question regarding the release of the deposit,the procedure involved,how much it will cost and other questions you will ask.he will be contacting you anytime from now.he is my trusted attorney and he will tell you how the funds will be secured from the security company.please follow his instructions and secure the release of the deposit so i can be rest assured that the money will not be wasted. Regards, Adamu Sherif Goodness knows where the Lad got these pics. Maybe picked them off the floor outside an emergency room. Faces are scam-o-smudged out, to avoid causing any pain. Update: Removed, see remarks above. Picture someone visiting a loved one in the hospital. DR SHIPMAN This poor chap seems quite ill, perhaps I can put him out of his misery. Date: 24 Mar 2004, 06:05:41 AM Dear Sherif Once again my apologies for a certain tardiness in replying to your last message. One glance at the pictures is enough for a practiced eye like my own to know at once that you are indeed victim of great suffering and I pledge right here and now, my friend, to see that you obtain everything you deserve during this planned business. I have been away for a few days at the annual Kustardt Incontinenance Conference. To my amazement, the hotel was some distance away from the lecture hall and I was obliged to take a taxi there and back. You can imagine the trouble having frequent runs can cause each day, and the extra expenditure (quite substantial over the three days there) has made a financial solution to my worsening difficulties even more urgent. However I back now and flushed with enthusiasm. Despite the problems, I am eager to proceed. I have received a communication from your colleague and you may rest assured that I will be responding to him shortly. Now I am back, it seems there are a dozen urgent cases requiring my attention, and I hope to get the patients done in as soon a time as possible. In the meantime, if you have any further information for me I will be exceedingly grateful. Best regards SHIPMAN DONALD GRAHAM (the "attorney") From: donald graham <dograham@mail.lawguru.com> Reply-To: dograham@mail.lawguru.com To: Dr Shipman Subject: RE:ADAMU SHERIF Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 02:34:28 -0800 (PST) ATTN:Harold Shipman, I am Donald Graham,attorney to Mr Adamu Sherif.You have probably been notified in advance of this contact by my client Adamu Sherif from Dubai,U.A.E.He has briefed me concerning an ongoing transaction with you regardingv the claiming of a deposit he has with a private Security Company in The Netherlands. As a practicing attorney here in Amsterdam The Netherlands, he contacted me on the premise that I would be in a position to liaise between you and the security company keeping this deposit with the intention of overseeing the release and eventual transfer of this deposit to your care, especially considering his health condition that has incapacitated him. my work would be done as soon i am sure you have contacted the security company, negotiated the terms of release of the deposit and consequently secured the release of the deposit. How you disburse this fund is entirely up to your discretion and goodwill in upholding the trust and confidence Mr Adamu Sherif has reposed in you sequel to the assurances and promises you have made to a dying man. Thus, sequel to my brief by Mr. Adamu Sherif and my subsequent enquiries from the security company, I am passing the following information to you regarding the deposit and its release; 1.the $27 million dollars is deposited as physical cash in $100 dollars bills. the money is packed inside two metallic trunk boxes locked with a special security code only indicated on a document Mr.Sherif has passed on to me. I would subsequently pass this code on to you at the stage of retrieving the deposit from the security company. 2.that the security company has no knowledge of the contents of these trunk boxes. Mr. Sherif purposely did this for security reasons as well to keep the hands of prying relatives and dependents out of the deposit. This is why it has remained the only unplundered possession of Mr.Sherif.To the security company, these boxes contain very valuable documents and Mr.Sherif has instructed that under no circumstances are they to be told that the boxes contain money. 3.Mr. Sherif has already forwarded to me the certificate of deposit with which the deposit was made. And I will in turn send it to you including a power of attorney authorizing you to conclude the transaction on his behalf. 4.this transaction will require your physical presence here in The Netherlands to endorse the necessary documents for the release of the deposit and have the money transferred to your account or have the boxes delivered to your country after which the disbursement of the funds is entirely up to your discretion. 5.there is however minimal cost involved in securing the release of the deposit from the security company. This is the storage charge the deposit has accumulated for the past three years that the trunk boxes have been deposited with the security company. You are expected to pay this storage charge to enable the release of the deposit. This cost is to be paid to the security company at their office here in The Netherlands when you come here for the recouping of the deposit. These are the basic issues involved in this transaction and the release of the deposit and i have to state it the way it is,if there is however any clause you haev a problem with then let me know and i will let you know if it can be waived. I will require your urgent response to the issues raised in this mail, after which I will provide you with further details regarding this transaction process. If you have any questions arising from the content of this mail, you may ask. Regards, Donald Graham, Graham and associates Amsterdam,Netherlands Email:dograham@mail.lawguru.com DR SHIPMAN My dear Mr Graham I am relieved to hear from a third party in this matter, as it is most reassuring. As perhaps Mr Sherif has outlined, we are due to do a little business together which will benefit us both. After reading your message a couple of times, I am a bit worried about things though. Perhaps you could make them clearer and put me at rest. When would I have to come to The Netherlands? I run a busy clinic here and it may not always be convenient. Mr Sherif hasn't made this very clear. As you might expect a lot of patients depend on me, and it is hard to finish them off in a hurry, and then leave the country at short notice. Also the storage charge you mention is rather a surprise. I imagine I could scrape a little money together or ask my colleague Nurse Quims for help if the amount was too large. She has been obliging in arranging small loans from her RCN endowment now and again in the past when small pieces of surgery equipment have been required at short notice, and has not been shy of giving me one if I want it. Please let me know more on these two points as a matter of urgency. Many thanks Dr Harold Shipman FRCS 69 Miracsky Road Dunin Herts England WAN KER1 Tel (0)90 5 000 4333 Fax (0) 90 5 000 4334 DONALD GRAHAM (the "attorney") From: "donald graham" <dgrraham@hotmail.com> Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 14:44:13 -0500 ATTN:Dr Harold Shipman, this is first to notify you that i am currently experiencing some problems with my lawguru.com email address.apparently the server has a problem so i cannot access that mail box at the moment.until that problem is resolved i will be communicating with you through this hotmail email address.if you had sent any email to my other email address i will advice you send it again to this email address.if you had not sent any email then please address all further communication to this email.in light of this,i am resending my last mail to you which i assume you did not recieve since i did not recieve any response from you.this was the last mail i sent to you................... your mail was recieved and the content well noted.this morning Mr Sherif also sent me an email.he seems to be really impressed with your straight forwardness.he mentioned to me that your mails were very impressive and heart warming. consequently he has given specific instructions that would ease your participation in this transaction and enable it to be more convinient to you.he has asked that you be allowed to conclude the transaction without being physically present in The Netherlands.this means that we have to transfer the $27 million dollars to a nominated account you will provide.to this regard i had to look for a bank that would be willing to accept such a vast transfer of funds.even if this were to be possible,i very much doubt if any bank in your country will be willing to allow the transfer of the funds to the accounts you already have there. the only solution to the hurdles presented by these issues will be to open an account with a bank here in The Netherlands that will be willing to accept the funds.there is a reliable bank here in The Netherlands that is willing to do this.it is a private bank and they normally do not ask questions concerning the origin of funds.they also have an online banking facility.with this,you will simply open an online account by logging into their website. once this account is open and activated, you will send the account information to me and i will give this to the security company presently holding the funds and instruct them to transfer the $27 million dollars to that account through a power of attorney signed by Mr Sherif and sent to them with those exact instructions.once this account is credited,you can retain the money there and subsequently transfer the money in small amounts to accounts you already have in your country as and when needed.if you already have charity organisations you will want the money disbursed to,you can simply obtain their account information and transfer the specific amount to their accounts from your online account.all this can done from the comfort of your home or office by logging into your online account. but note that the bank will require you to make an initial deposit of at least 3000(three thousand)Euros into the online account to show your seriousness in retaining their services and maintaining your account.this was the information i obatained from their customer support department.they said that because online accounts are easy and convinient,a lot of people open accounts they really do not need,thereby clogging the bank clients list without accrueing any profits for the bank.that is why they leave a rule of initial deposit.you are not paying this to anybody.it is your money,it is only being deposited in the account for you.you can retrieve it anytime you want.when you contact the bank they will give you specific details on this,i only want to inform you forehand so you can determine if you are willing to do this. but the good news is that with the directive Mr Sherif has given now,you will no longer have to bother about the storage charge i mentioned in my earlier mail.i will negotiate that out with the security company presently keeping the funds and that will be taken care of.all you have to do now is to open the online account as soon as possible and activate it with about 3,000 Euros to make it ready to recieve a large transfer of funds since the $27 million cannot be transferred to an empty account.you can then send the account details to me and the security company will then transfer the $27 million dollars to that account.and you can from the convinience of your home distibute the funds to various charity accounts as well as transfer your 10% to a nominated account. Mr Sherif is very delighted at this idea since it would greatly enhance your participation in this transaction and help you conclude the task you have promised him.besides,it makes the issue much faster,because as soon as you have the account ready,the security company can transfer the funds within 24 hours and you will receive confirmation of the $27 million dollars credited to your account within another 24 hours.thus this can all be wrapped up within 5 days from now if you are willing to proceed with this proceedure and an online account is open and ready to recieve the funds. so if you are okay with this procedure as i have explained here then let me know and i will provide you with the bank details so you can contact them to open the account. if you can open the account and activate it immediately it will be better so the funds can be transferred to the account immediately.Mr Sherif is very concerned that you retrieve the funds immediately because in an event of his death,the security company presently keeping the funds will have to notify Mr Sherif's next of kin in line with the deposit agreement,and i am sure Mr Sherif has already explained to you he does not want any of his family members to handle the funds since they will only plunder it and use the money for their selfish purpose. i will await your reponse.i will then provide you with the bank details so you can contact them to open the account for the funds transfer. Thanks, Donald Graham DR SHIPMAN Date: 06 Apr 2004, 06:46:27 AM I am so relieved to hear from you again. As you suspected, I had written asking what was the matter as I had heard nothing and was growing concerned lest I had lost the opportunity to be of assistance. I myself have had some problems recently, there has been an outbreak of wankerts cramp in the Hastings area. I was asked to help and I have been hard put to keep up with the ministrations involved. In fact it has only been over the last day or so that I have managed to polish off the last few unfortunates and lay the whole matter to rest. This banking business is a bit confusing as I have none of the details. Please ask your colleague to supply them. I have an account with the local Hippo Bank, will that suffice? I am a bit nervous about sending monies overseas. Kind regards Dr Harold Shipman FRCS 69 Miracsky Road Dunin Herts England WAN KER1 Tel (0)90 5 000 4333 Fax (0) 90 5 000 4334 more to come? |
