Dearest one,

                      After much consideration and prayer I have decided to tell you all about myself because I believe you can be of Assistance to me and my faith and believe in God led me to you. I am the only daughter of my late father DR. BEN DANJUMA from LIBERIA . My father was a wealthy Cocoa , Gold and Diamond merchant in Africa before his untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan the Capital city of Cote D'Ivoire to Negotiate on a Cocoa business, a week after he came back from Abidjan he was Assassinated with my mother, Which my mother died instantly but my father died after five days in the hospitals.

I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of $12,800,000 US Dollars (Twelve million eight hundred thousand Dollars) in a security company in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire That the money was meant for his cocoa business he wanted to invest in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire through, according to my father he deposited the money in a trunk box, but declared it as Ivory, and family belonging. He simple handed me the key of the consignment box and the document covering it which is the certificate of deposit and the agreement bond made with the security company, and instructed me to seek for a life time investment abroad.

Right Now I am in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire to locate where the security company is and I have succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire and also confirmed the consignment box with most honest and confidential. I want you to assist me in clearing this fund and transfer it to your country as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I have attached my two pictures below!.

I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire . The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

1). Can I completely trust you?
2). What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is transfer to your country?
3). Can you assure me of the confidentiality of this transaction, So that when coming in to your country there would not be focus of attention.

Waiting to hear from you.

Yours truly,
Miss. Iness Danjuma.

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of scam e-mails received each day here at 419baiter.com headquarters.

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, cheap 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.
