Man, these are really bad. Makes me wonder if anyone actually responds to them with cash. I think they must, if they are still sending them out... Of course, it could be a horrible nigerian fad, like the macarena, that will hopefully go away before too long.
FROM JEFFREY ERIC.
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVIORE,
DEAR,
IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WRITE TO YOU AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYERS, l AM JEFFREY THE SON OF LATE MR CLIFFORD DAN ERIC FROM KWATANATAL ZULU IN REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA. MY FATHER OWNS A LIMITED
COCOA AND GOLD BUSINESS IN JOHANESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA MY COUNTRY.
AFTER HIS TRIP TO ABIDJAN COTE D´IVIORE EALY LAST YAER TO NEGOTIATE ON A COCOA AND GOLD BUSINESS HE WANTED TO INVEST IN ABIDJAN. WEEKS AFTER HE CAME BACK FROM HIS TRIP TO ABIDJAN HE HAD A FATAL MOTOR ACCIDENT WITH MY
MOTHER AND MY YOUNGER SISTER, MY SISTER AND MY MOTHER DIED INSTANTLY BUT MY FATHER DIED AFTER FIVE DAYS IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN JOHANESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
IS LIKE MY FATHER KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DIE (MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PREFECT PEACE). HE DISCLOSED TO ME THAT HE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF USD 16, 000,000.00 SIXTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS INTO ONE OF THE SECURITY COMPANY IN COTE D´IVIORE THAT THE MONEY WAS MEANT FOR HIS COCOA AND
GOLD BUSINESS HE WANTED TO ESTABLISH IN ABIDJAN.
MY FATHER HANDED ME THE DOCUMENTS COVERING THE LODGMENT AND INSTRUCTED ME TO SEEK FOR A RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY BUSINESS PARTNER FOR MY LIFE TIME INVESTMENT THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU, NOW I HAVE SUCCEEDED IN LOCATING THE SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN ABIDJAN.
I WANT YOU TO ASSIST ME IN RETREIVE THIS FUND FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY, AND ALSO USE IT FOR AN INVESTMENT PURPOSE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
I AM JUST 22 YEARS OLD AND A HIGH SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATE HOLDER AND REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.NOW I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO CLAIM THIS FUNDS. 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.
NOW PERMIT ME TO ASK THESE FEW QUESTIONS:-
1. CAN YOU HONESTLY HELP ME AS YOUR SON?
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, AS WELL I WILL LIKE YOU TO FORWARD YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HAVE THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS TO CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF THE FUND FOR VERIFICATION FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND TO CONFIRM THE AUTHENTICITY OF MY PROPOSAL TO YOU ALSO FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
I AM WAITING ANXIOUSLY TO HEAR FROM YOU SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS THE MODALITIES OF THIS TRANSACTION.
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR KIND ASSISTANC.
