>From Franklin Anderson

Dearest One,
To
introduce myself, I am Franklin Anderson the son to Mr and Mrs Victor
Anderson, I was a in the university studying Electrical Engr, before
the sudden death of our late father,who was a very wealthy Gold/Diamond
dealer in Freetown, the economic capital of Sierra Leone. My
father was poisoned to death by his close business associates on
one of their outings on a business trip, in collaboration with my Uncle
my late father's younger brother. It is just a long story, as I have to
let you know more about my life experiences.
Presently I and my
sister Vivian is here in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire a nearby country, as my
Uncle threatens to eliminate us, but why I contacted you is just to
confide in you the deposit my late father deposited in a Security
company over seas, before his death.
He made a deposit of (8
MILLION) UNITED STATES DOLLARS in a Security company over seas. since
our arrival here I have contacted the Security and inform them of our
father's death, and our willingness to transfer the money into
our father's foreign partner's account,they are waiting for my
father's foreign partner to transfer the money into his
account.
All I am looking for now is for you to assist us in the
transfer and investment of this only remaining heritage of our late
father in your country as our father's foreign partner while i and my
sister Vivian will continue our education.
Please there is a
very big political crises going on in this country that we are
presently now as I need your urgent assistance to transfer the money
that will enable us come over to your country to continue our education
that was stoped because of treats from our uncle and the death of our
late father.
We will offer you to investment of the money in your country why we will further our education there,
We await for your urgent response.
May God be with you.
Franklin and Vivian Anderason.

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.

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.
