Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.
If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

MY DEAR FRIEND,
ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL IS MY FAMILY
PERSONAL LETTER TO YOU.
TREAT WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY
AND CARE.
REGARDS
MRS.NKOSI OLDS
My Dear,
I am Mrs.Nkosi Olds the wife of late
Mr.Martin Olds from Zimbabwe. My Husband was among the rich white farmers
killed in Zimbabwe by war Veterans of President Robert Mugabe. My main aim of
contacting you is to assist me as the new beneficiary of� the sum of
Twenty-four million one hundred thousand US Dollars ($24.1M) with Maesk �security
company South Africa.
This is because my status as a refugee does
not permit me to make claim of this money that was deposited as a family
treasury with the security company by my late husband on his visit to South
Africa. Before my husband died he deposited the above sum with Maesk �security
company As family treasure here in Johannesburg South Africa where I am living
as refugee.
�I want you to help me to stand as my late husband
business associate in claiming the trunk box containing the above mentioned
sum. I am ready to discuss the percentage for your assistance, I will enter
into a profitable business when I transfer these funds, and all I need is your
maximum cooperation.
The confidentiality of this transaction
cannot be over emphasized as I will travel out of South Africa with my two sons
as soon as the funds are transferred. If you listen to CNN OR BBC NEWS, you may
have heard what is going on In my country, please visit the following website

I look forward to your positive response.
Regards,
Mrs.Nkosi Olds
