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.

CORP. ABIDJAN- COTE D I'VOIRE Tel:+22507420630 Email lindabanoh@gawab.com
Dear
Sir,
Compliments of the season and how you are today i hope fine.
Before I proceed I would like to introduce my self to you.
My name
is Ms Linda Abanoh, a staff in accounts department of the
above BANK I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. I got your contact from (W.T.C. Companies
Directory).
On 6th of June 2001, an oil contractor with the
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation . MR. AHMED DASUKI
made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at US8,
000,000.00 in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder
and finally we discovered from his contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE National
Petroleum Corporation that MR. AHMED DASUKI, died in auto crash along with
his entire family.
On further investigation, I found out that he did
not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that MR. AHMED DASUKI
did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$8.000.000.00 is still sitting in
the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at
the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim
it.
According to the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of 6
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE D'IVOIRE
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal
is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
MR. AHMED DASUKI so that the fruit of this old mans labour will not get
into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
As an
Accountant and a staff of this BANK, What we have to do is to send to me
your complete names, address and information's which I will secretly
programme in the computer account file of late MR. AHMED DASUKI in the
computer record of our bank, as his registered associate before his death
and who is entitle to inherit the fixed deposit which he deposited in our
bank when he die.
After this I will send to you a text of an
application letter for claim which you will write and submit to the banking
and operation unit of our bank for their approvals, for the successful
releasing and transfer of the fund to your account in your
country.
May I inform you that screecy, trust; honest and confident
should be a base for the success of this transaction, base on this, me and
you are much expected to keep this business very secret and
confidential.
I am promising that as soon as we get this fund
transferred into your account, I will give to you 40% of the total sum as a
compensation for your full assistance, while 60% will be for me and i will
be interested in investing part of my own share in a good investment in
your country.
More information of the steps to follow in order to
actualise this aim will be detail to you as soon as you are
interested, There is no risk, as my position as accountant of this
BANk, guarantees the successful execution of this business.
Awaiting
your urgent reply via my e-mail (lindabanoh@gawab.com) Feel free
to
call me on my house telephone number (+22507420630) for more
details.
Best regards, Ms. Linda
Abanoh
