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. |

Abidjan. Cote D'Ivoire

Hi
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.George D, Bany. My
father was a highly reputable busnness magnet who operated in the capital of
Ivory coast during his days.I'm a deaf girl.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of
his business trips abroad on the 12th Jan 2006. Though his sudden death was
linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who
travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died
when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.
Before his death on Jan 2006, he called me and informed me that he has the
sum of Five Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00) left in fixed deposit account in one of the
leading banks in Africa. He further told me that he deposited the money in
my name, and also gave me all the necessary but legal documents to this fund
with the bank. I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and
really don't know what to do.
Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds and after the
transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a
time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so desire.
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant
political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually
brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care
because I am ignorant of business world.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your
suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these
few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immedaitely I
confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you
more details involved in this matter.
Kind Regards,
Miss Jennifer Bany. |
