United Nations Home Equity Relief
There is no "United Nations Home Equity Relief" program - it's a scam, which could cost you tens of thousands of dollars or even or home. In this scam you will be sent fraudulent checks or wire transfers, a portion of which you will be asked to forward to the scammers. 
 
After you have forwarded funds the scam is found out and the original deposit is reversed by the bank. Any money you have sent already at that point is now money you owe to the bank. Because your home equity account is secured against your property, the bank can have your home sold at an auction to get its money back if you can't repay the debts to the bank that you've incurred by sending money to the scammers.

Dear Sir/Madam, 
 
United Nations Home Equity Relief 
 
The United Nations Home Equity Relief in conjunction with the World Bank 
and the International Monetary Fund {IMF} is embarking on its first ever 
global Home Equity assistance scheme; a risk free financial windfall for 
interested participants who currently own a house. 
 
You must be a home owner who currently has a Home Equity Line of Credit 
Account with any reputable institution in America. Being a home owner 
alone will qualify you to participate as you are expected to have a Home 
Equity Line of Credit current at this moment. 
 
We are looking for interested participants who will help receive payments 
on our behalf from our teeming individual and corporate sponsors who are 
about to start funding our global charitable activities. 
 
If you are interested in participating, we shall inform any of individual 
or cooperate sponsors/donors to make payments to us through your account. 
You will be required to take 20% of each deposit and send the rest {the 
remaining 80%} to any of our authorized representative or agent's account. 
It will be a tax-free transaction. 
 
Please if you are not a home owner with a current Home Equity Line of 
Credit Account, do NOT reply this mail. Note that this is not a lottery 
and no fees will be required from you. Note also that a mortgage account, 
checking, savings or money market account is not required. It must be a 
Home Equity Line of Credit Account. 
 
Reply with your full names and your contact number so that our seasoned 
coordinator in New York can contact and guide you.
