Sample Letters of Scams
Here is an example of a well-known scam:
Letter #1:
My dear love Jeff!
It was so pleasant for me to get your letters! With every your letter
I feel that we bacoming more closer and closer! Every time, when I
reading your letter, my mood become well and my heart is knocking so
strong! I miss you very much and all my thoughts last time only about
you! When I coming to Internet club and saw a letter from you, I
pleasing as a small girl. You are the unique man that can understand
me now and can support me in difficult situation! I am sure in you and
I can trust you in any case. I dreming about that time when I will be
helping you in all about house, to work and rest together, laughing
and solve common problems, because your problems will be my problems
and on the contrary. I think, it has to be so if people love each
other. I thought a lot about this all and what we have to do now. I
think, that we have to meet in person and I am ready to arrive to you
for us. How do you think about it? I dont see more best way to know
each other, I think, we cant get such result just communicating
through letters. But I am very serious about you, and about our
meeting. We did a big step for making serious and longterm relations.
I think we dont have to stop here, we have to make next serious step,
the meeting which will let us to know each other better and it let us
to continue our relations.
I received all your letter. and your letter with your phone numbers
too. I shall call you as soon as possible.
I talked to cousin what do I need to come to you, is it real or not.
She know about it because she visiting sometimes another countries.
She sayd that I need visa and air ticket only. She sayd that it’s not
a big problem to make a visa for one or two month. She advised me to
go IIVA (Irkutsk International visa agency) and to ask there about it.
So I will ask my chief to go home early tomorrow and I will go to
Irkutsk to the IIVA to ask more about it.
My sweetheart, how do you think, if I will come to you, where is the
best place for my living? At your home or at a hotel? I would like to
stay at your home, if its not a problem and if you want it. I hope my
wish to come to you to meet in person is not confuse you. Please tell
me the true.
My dear Jeff! I do not have a big salary but it’s not bad for Russia.
I saved some money for any case, but I was not sure for what. I think,
that this case is come. I dont sure if this help us for visa and
ticket both, I dont know how much does it all cost, but I hope it will
help us. Also I would like to go to cash departments of airport to
know how much tickets cost. My dear Jeff, I need some information for
this. Please write me closest airport to you and what date is better
for my visit? My love, what do you think about duration of a trip?
Please write me you opinion about this all. I shall be waiting it with
impatience.
Forever yours,
Tatyana
Client's Response:
tat have you been trying to email me I just found out my
earthlink mailbox has been treating everybody as spam. If you have
I have not been getting your emails Sorry about that Ill try and
fix the problem on this end.
If you try to send an email, and it comes back say
that you want to be put on the senders list and click it again it
should go through. I didnt block you its just has a mind of its
own.
Letter #2:
I am so happy to get your letter and I am so happy that we becoming
closer to each other. All night I thinking about you and about us, I
turned on few times the light to read and reread your letters. Its
very great that people can meet each other throught Internet and write
letters to each other just every day which can let them know more
about each other, to make fellings and empathies. I am so gald to meet
you in my life and I am planning to meet you in person. I am very
serious in my choice. I dont think that longterm correspondence will
help us as much as personal meeting. I dont like to speak about
financial, it does not good in Russia, I dont brought up such, and my
father teach me to consult with it only by myself, and if I ask
someone about something, it mean that I thought a lot about wheather
to do it or not. So I thought a lot about is this good or not to ask
you about help, but I hope for your understanding because I do it only
for both of us and for our happyness. My dear, during the time of our
communicating, I understood that we have feeling to each other that I
can call LOVE. Such feelings between people become not only from
nothing and from lots of thought, analyses of relations, understanding
and mutual help. With every day I am becoming surer in my choise and
in you. And I sure those if I do some mistake you will understand me
and forgive me and I can say it about myself too. Looking for our
relations I understood that only destiny of my heart is to meet you in
person. And I believe in mutual feelings.
I was at cash of airport department today asking about cost of the
tickets. I dont think that tickets can cost so much! I dont sure in
choice of date, but I asked about cheapest tickets that exists. Its
costs about 810 US dollars. So, here is information about ticket:
Depart Irkutsk (IKT)8:00 am
Arrive Tampa (TPA) 10:51 pm, 3 May
Airlines: Aeroflot-Russian International Airlines 750 / 315
Delta 1993
Connect in Moscow (SVO), New York (JFK)
Unfortunately for that moment its really big money for me. As you
know, I saved up some money, its about 120 dollars for the ticket and
all money for the visa. So I need about 690 dollars more. Its really
hard for me to find now such money by myself, it will take about half
of year more. I thought a lot about how I can get such money to make
us be together. The best idea was to sell a coin, but when I come to
pawn shop, a man there said me that maximum price is about 220
dollars, that he can give me for it. He advise me not to sell this
coin, because it costs more money that he can give me. He asked why I
need to sell it and I told him about you and about my visit. He was
surprised, and said, that I have to take this coin with me and in
America this coin can cost more then 2000 dollars depending a place of
selling. And he advised me to ask money from you. I dont know now
where I can get such money. Will you help me with it? Its really
unpleasant for me to ask you help, but I its seems I have to do it for
both of us. I will take a coin and will present it to you so you can
do what you want with it. I dont know a lots about how to send money
but if you are interested I will ask it from my cousin, she sent money
few times for my aunt from another countries. What do you think about
a date of our meeting? Which is the best? The easiest for me is to
take vacation at the next month. Please write me your opinion. I am
waiting your responce with impatience and I hope for soon meeting. I
am sure that meeting in person will be better then thouthands of
letters! And I cant wait to see you in person!
Most sweet kisses, yours
Tatyana

Dear Tat:
Well my thoughts on the visa are
Ill let you deal with the visa on your end, so find out if you can
if after you get in U.S. and we decided to get married if we could
just go to the U.S. Embassy to get all the legal forms filled out.
Because I believe that you can do that here without having to spend
all that extra money for the other visas. I will pay for the plane
ticket for you to come to United States. I will get it on line and
have it waiting for you at the airport. does that sound OKay.
I think it will be best for us to do it that way,
because you might get over here and not like it or me, But every
body likes me. Giggle Giggle !! If I find the airfare information
Ill email it to you. Tell your father that I am very honored that
he would do that for you, but tell him not to feel obligated to do
this. If he did this the apartment would stay in your name that is
yours from your father.
And what kind of insurance would you have to get?
And what kind of medical tests? Thats crazy Ive never heard about
insurance now the medical tests I have. You look healthy to me.
Ha Ha !! What ever you decide Babe let me know so we can work
together to accomplish our goal. well Im going to look up air fares
now I will talk to you tomorrow.
Love Ya and Take Care
Letter #3:
Greetings my love Jeff!
I am very glad to receive your letter and read your ideas, it is
always very pleasant for me because I feel you beside. In your last
letter I have read your desire to help me and to buy the ticket at
home, thank you for understanding and trust, I am very glad that we at
last can make something for our meeting. It very much pleases me
because I dream of our meeting most of all and I wait for this moment
most of all in my life! I think it our destiny to be together and for
me are very interesting your ideas in this occasion . I went to agency
and found out that we can make with the ticket, there to me have told
that there are two variants of registration of the visa and purchase
of the ticket: 1. you buy the ticket at yourself and I receive it here
in this case to me it will be necessary to go to Moscow and to
register this ticket in the American embassy it occupies about 3
months and trip to Moscow will cost for me about 400 dollars. Then I
give this ticket with the passport to agency for registration of the
visa, it will occupy about 4-5 weeks. 2 package deal gives agency, it
means that I buy the ticket at them and at once I pay for visa and
they start to make out all necessary documents for my trip to you.
They have contract with embassy therefore the ticket bought at them it
is not necessary to register. All official registration of papers in
agency will occupy about 3 weeks. It is the most convenient way for us
my love. But it is very interesting to me to know that you think about
it because such questions we should solve together because we a single
whole and as the future pair should discuss all. I ask you only about
one let's make it quickly because I cannot without you my patience
exhausted also I am tired from loneliness. I thank you for all that
you have made and will make for us and for that you are with me.
All yours!
Tatyana
Client's Response:
Dear Tat:
As I wrote you before I will take
care of the air fare all you have to do is get your visa. Don't
worry about anything else. If this was meant to be it will work out
for the both of us.
And about your coin don't even think about
selling it things will work out you just have to be patient. Just
get more information about the visas so you will know what you
need.
WITH LOVE JEFF
Letter #4:
My sweetheart J.!
I just so happy to have such great frieand and soulmate as you! Every
night I thinking about you, sometimes I can't sleep thinking of you!
You can't imagine, how much do you mean for me! You become so close
man for me!
Today we had a greatest holiday of out town. There are lots of flags,
baloons, fireworks and shows. I was so sad, that you were not with me,
I would like to hug you or just keep your hand. That so important for
me now, that's my dream. I like such holidays. All people look very
happy, and we have some sport meets. We have a great sport centre in
our town, where I like to go to do for sport.
I went to agency today and asked about an opportunity to pay for the
ticket from the account of your credit card. But the manager has told,
that they work only with cash. I am so sorry, but credit cards are not
used in Russia much.
Today I talked with my cousin about us more and she is so happy for
us! I ask her about transferring money, she said that the best way is
to use western union system and she said, that everybody in America
know how does it works. I did not hear about this system of money
transferring and I just searched Internet for this to read something
about it. And i found this site, where anybody can get nearest bank,
which included to western union system. Here it is:
www.westernunion.com . You can visit it and look how does it works.
Unfortunately there are no banks agents in my town, but I can get it
in Irkutsk. Closest bank to road service station is:
GRINKOMBANK
street: Tereshkovoi 36
Irkutsk , 664034
Phone: 7-395-2432678
I was in bank and the clerk has told to me is necessary to use number
(MTCN) in transfer of money . You will receive this number at bank and
you have to give it to me. I need this code, your name, your adress and
your zip code to get money. The clerk has told that without MTCN it is
practically impossible to receive money.
Its seems all information that you need to send me money is my name
and my surname. You know my name and my sirname is: Brusova
Please let me know is this information enough for you? Please let me
know.
I kiss you and hug you, my love!
Forever yours,
Tatyana

Dear Tat:
Right now at this point in time I
am strapped for cash, but I can use my credit card for your plane
fare, but thats about as far as I can go. If you want you can mail
me that coin and i can sell it in the States for you then wire you
the money back. But thats entirely up to you. Im sorry I can not
help you with this problem right now. If you have any other
solutions Im open for suggestions.
With Love J.
