419 Scam – 419 scammers solicit funds for Haiti earthquake victims
The same criminals who pose as email lotteries, corrupt bank employees, lawyers or family members of dead dictators in the "419" advance fee fraud seem to be taking advantage of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, just as they have after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Unscrupulous criminals like that are like vultures, feeding off the suffering of others.
Here we will collect examples of such scam emails.

Here are several examples:

Dear Beloved,
My Name is Mrs. Jane Pius I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 73years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for.I have been touched by the lord to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husbands hard earned funds inappropriately. I have asked the lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has,because He is merciful.
I will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $5,900,000.00 Million to charity and the victims of the haiti earthquake through you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you. I know i have never met you but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.I will pay you 30% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and frigile to do things myself because of my ca ncer.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished,as I dont want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish. please i will appreciate you to kindly get back to me through this
email address [email protected] for further and effective proceedings.
Remain Blessed in The Lord
Mrs. Jane Pius

This example is a typical orphan scam format, but rehashed for Haiti and in a "bilingual" version (machine-translated into German plus the English original). The sender IP can't be traced because the spam was sent through an insecure Microsoft Exchange server.
Herr/Frau,
Bitte gewähren Sie mir ein paar Sekunden, Ihnen für Hilfe zu nähern. Mein Name ist Nerlande Dieujuste und ich bin ein Bürger von Haiti., als Sie kennen müssen, dass mein Land kürzlich durch ein ernstes Erdbeben geschlagen wurde. Leider habe ich meine Eltern verloren und jüngerer Bruder während des Ereignisses und es ist durch Glück, das ich gelungen bin, zur Dominikanischen Republik zu überwechseln, wo ich momentan in einem Flüchtlingslager wohne.
Vor zwei Tagen wurde ich von meinem Elternrechtsanwalt kontaktiert. Offensichtlich haben meine Eltern einen Lebensversicherungswert um US$500,000 und als ich ein der einzige Überlebende, bin ich der Nutznießer. Dieses Geld ist momentan auf Einzahlung mit einer Bank in England und ich habe keinen Weg, Zugriff auf dieses Geld und ich zu haben, hat daher entschieden, zu jemandem dadraußen auszustrecken, mir zu helfen.
Bitte Notiz, der ich um ein Geschenk von Ihnen nicht bitte, will ich nur Sie, mir zu helfen, mein Geld von der Bank in England wiederzugewinnen. Ich werde sehr glücklich sein, Sie für Ihre Bemühung zu entschädigen.
Lassen Sie mich Ihre Antwort bald, erhalten brauche ich dieses Geld, ein neues Leben für mich selbst anzufangen. Sie können mich auf diesem E-Mailherrn/Frau erreichen.
Danken Ihnen und kann Gott segnet Sie.
Nerlande
===============
Sir/Madam,
Please grant me a few seconds to approach you for assistance. My name is Nerlande Dieujuste and I am a citizen of Haiti. as you must know my country was hit recently by a serious earthquake. Unfortunately, I lost my parents and younger brother during the event and it is by luck that I succeeded to cross over to the Dominican Republic where I currently reside in a refugee camp.
Two days ago, I was contacted by my parents lawyer. Apparently, my parents have a life insurance worth about US$500,000 and as I a the only survivor, I am the beneficiary. This money is currently on deposit with a bank in England and I have no way to have access to this money and I have therefore decided to reach out to someone out there to assist me.
Please note that I am not asking for a gift from you, I only want you to assist me to retrieve my money from the bank in England. I will be very happy to compensate you for your effort.
Do let me get your reply soon, I need this money to start a new life for myself. You can reach me on this email sir/madam.
Thank you and may God bless you.
Nerlande
