Creative Spam Story Archive

[riveryu]

Hey ppl, I've been bored for a few days after school is over so I decided to make an archive of creative email spam stories.
I found them interesting to read and sometimes funny. But then again, some people actually fall for them.
I wonder if these were written by company marketting Depts.
So anyways heres one example that I received;

Dear Friend,

I am Peter Wong, Non Executive Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Hong Kong..


An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, Five years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.


After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration seven years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
