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.

Dearest
I am delighted to write to you. My name is Mary
Sandra Allen,
I am sorry if this mail will come to you as an embarrassment
or a
surprise, I just felt like empting myself to you, after reading
your
profile ,I decided to confide in you, as am faced with total
frustration and hardship. My Ernest prayer is that you find this mail
in good health and blessings. I am presently residing in Abidjan,Cote
d'Ivoire.I left my country with my father after the death of my mother
during the war in our country and we came here because my father owned
a business here,(cocoa business), during the going political crisis
here which has turn out into a civil war since 2003,my father was
attacked and killed here at the hit of the crisis as the rebels were
killing prominent foreigners with the reason that they were
financially
supporting the government against them and the rebels are
accusing the
government of doing the killing.
Presently, I am
staying
in a REFUGEE
camp assisted by the Red cross organisation, due
to the
way which the
camp is securitized by united nations forces and
after
the death of my
father, our house was set ablaze, I was unable
to meet
my needs pay my
bills and accommodation and in my dilemma
which was
another reason for
going to the camp, where I could not at
least feed
and sleep as I did
not know anyone here.
I take
permission to go to
the town where they
have internet access to enable
me correspond with
you.
Secondly, my
late father concealed some
amount of money in a
trunk box and deposited
it in a safe keeping
house to the turn of $8.5
million dollars which I
will want you to
help me move out of this
country because of the war
here. But the safe
keeping house does not
know the true content of the
trunk to be cash
as my father declared
upon deposit as containing art
craft for export.
My father confided so
much in me after the death of
my mother, we were
so close that he
never did anything without my
knowledge and
opinion.
All that I want
is your sincere and genuine help
in
helping me safe guide this trunk
which means that you will have to
come here so that we can meet face
to face first before proceeding
with
this claim, as we have to do the
claiming of the trunk which the
money
is concealed claimed out of the
safe keeping house first and the
money
moved out of this country as I
am the named next of kin to this
deposit. I cannot allow the money
remain here, why, because of the war
here which possess a great risk
to as my life and future solely lies
on
it. If you have heard from the
news for the past few months now
there
has been intense fighting and
bombing by the French troops which
I will
like to live here as soon as
we have this money moved out of
this
country.
I will also like upon
your arrival here to open an
account in
any of the international banks
of your choice here where
this money
will be lodged into for transfer
to your country, I know
that this is
our first mail, but I have
decided to confide in you from
the choice of
your word on your
profile. I want you to know that for
years now, I
have lived in
absolute frustration, tires and pains
without any person
around me, no
parent, uncles or friend, but God had
kept me until now,
which I
believe that I will smile once
again.
Thirdly, I do not want to
attach
myself to you out of
desperation so that I do not get used
rather I
intend you helping me
to claim this money as I intend living
for your
country to start an
entire new life and complete my education,
as you
will have to help in
the investment of this money. But I really
need
your help at this
trial and difficult time of mine.
I am totally
frustrated that my whole
mind for now lies on my survival which is
securing this money. Please I am
confiding completely in you and I
really need your assistance at this
point of my life as you alone
knows
of this venture.
I have
enclosed my copies of my personal
pictures and
my late father's
pictures for your view while I will
expect to have
yours in
return.
I wait to hear from you.
Thank
you.
Mary |
