Rue de Gabon Abidjan 01.
Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa.
Dearest one,
Permit
me to inform you of my desire to go into business relationship with
you, after going through your profile and I prayed over it and selected
your name among other names due to the nature of my proposal, which
requires a reputable and trustworthy person. Someone, who will be kind
and sincere to me.
l am Miss Edna John, the only daughter of late Mr
and Mrs Edward John. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in
Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, he was poisoned to
death by his business associates on one of their business meeting. My
mother died on the 22nd may 1989 and my father took me so special
because l am motherless.
Before the death of my father on 10th
December 2007 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called
me on his bedside, when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying,
why? (1) He complained that I am too young to be managing my life with
no one to take care of me,(2)That I have not finished my university
education as he planned for me, he revealed to me that he has a sum of
(US$4.500.000.)(Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) left in a security company here in Abidjan, that he used my
name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds.
He
also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates, that l should seek for a God
fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer
this money and use it for proper investment purpose, that I must finish
my university education by the help of a business partner abroad, that
he or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her
country. He also gave a standing instruction to the company that the
deposit must be transferred outside this country. According to my
father, the money was deposited as art works to avoid attracting
attention to the deposit.
I am now ready to do all these since my
father my bread winner is no more. l am honestly seeking your
assistance in the following ways.
(1) To serve as my guardian in your country while I will depend on your expert advice since l am a girl of 19 years.
(2)
To make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to
further my university education and to secure a residential permit for
me in your country.
Moreover, l am willing to offer you 15% of the
total sum as compensation for your assistance in the transfer of this
deposit to your country. Furthermore, you can indicate your option
towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded
within seven days you signify interest to assist me by contacting the
security company.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. May God bless
you as you extend your helping hand to the needy. Please reply me
through my private
Love
Miss Edna John.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
