This is what I just got in my personal email :rolleyes: What do you think?

MR.FRANCIS SANKOH.
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA.
TEL.(225)07-71-76-96

INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

ATTN/

I am MR. FRANCIS SANKOH, I got to know of you
courtesy of International Business Bureau here in
Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Sequent to my zeal towards
foreign investment and also security for my life and
my
possession, I therefore write to give you a Break-down

of this proposal.

I was the personal confidant to the president of
Sierra-Leone (ALH. TEJAN KABBAH) who was formerly
pushed out of office by a military coup carried out by

disgruntled soldiers. However, when these soldiers
strucked His Excellency was forced to run into Guinea
Conakry on exile, some of his closest aids left for
some other countries. While these events took place I
decided to move to Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) with my

family and a treasure containing the total sum of US
$12.000.000 (Twelve Million US Dollars) which was part

of the cash left under my control within the
presidential mansion where I was in charge of
securities.

With the help of an Ivorian farmer, I was able to move

this money to Abidjan. On arrival here in Abidjan, I
immediately deposited the treasure containing the fund

into a private Security Company for safe keeping,
although the Security Company is not aware of the
contents as they were deposited as personal effects
and artefacts.

Right now the situation in my country has returned
normal and I do not want to go back. I am seeking for
a partner who shall serve as the guardian of this fund

with whom I can plan the best way to move this money
for investment purposes which is my motive for
contacting you to actualise the project. You are
required to assist in the following manners.

1) That you shall be required to provide a good Bank
account where the money could be transferred and
where taxation will not take much toll on the money.

2) That you shall serve as the general overseer and
guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter.

3) To assist in providing me and my immediate family a

permanent residential permit in your country after the

money must have been transferred to your account.

For these services a suitable percentage (%) will be
mapped out for you after you have shown your
willingness to assist. So if you are interested reply
me via email for further details.

Having stated the above clearly, I expect to receive
your response soonest as I do not intend to have this
transaction delayed.

Please treat this as highly confidential.

Thank you and God Bless.

Yours Truly,
 
SCAM!!!

We got one similar to that one a while ago, I just deleted it.:p
 
well known scam

I always get emails about increasing the size of a certain body part.
 

I've heard about this scam......delete!!!
 
I have received two of these scam letters in the last 2 days. I am worried that it could be some sort of virus.
 
There was something on the news about this a short while back....SCAM for sure. The report actually mentioned the West Africa location.

Delete!
 
Definitely a scam, if you were to respond they would ask you for your bank account numbers# to 'transfer' the money to you. The only thing that would be transferred would be your money to their bank account. Always remember people don't invite strangers to 'hold' their money for them. Would you?
 
Definate scam...in fact, it's been around a long time...long enough that I remember getting them via snail mail (with actual African stamps & postmarks) years back. :o
 
I get many variations of those. MIL gets them in the mail and actually believes them. Fortunately, she doesn't have the means to help the "poor fellow" and we talk some (temporary) sense into her.
 
I got this one the other day and another one about a year ago. The one I got a year ago I sent an email back to the sender telling them that if somehow they got my information and I found money missing from my account I was keeping all of this contact information and they would be heavily sued and prosecuted!!!!

Didn't get a response!
 
The past few months I have been averaging about one every other week. Most claiming to be from Nigeria, but I have had one from Malaysia and the latest was from Zimbabwe. CNN and others have run numerous stories about this kind of scam :mad:
 
I knew it was a scam thats why I said "oh Please" that was sarcastic...LoL I was just wondering if there are people who actually do this!

I always get emails about increasing the size of a certain body part.

Yep get those two and I don't even have the body part in question.
 
I have ONE word Beauty-----DELETE DELETE DELETE!!


OH my is that really three words???:rolleyes:
