Apostolic Greetings!!!
From Mrs.Magaret Herman.
Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire.

God will grant you the willingness and interest to diggest this humble
narrations though it might be so surprise and strange to believe my story but i knew by the reason of the almighty you will humbly understood and accept to proceed with my proposal though we have not met or seen each other before.

My name is Mrs.Magaret Herman a widow to Late Engr. Adel Herman who was a competent business man here in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire, We were married for many yrs without any child till his death in October 2005 after a brief illness. Due to the promise which i revered to him on the alter at the day of our church wedding i decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which is against the holy bible.

My happiness is that my late husband lived a life of a true & worthy
Christian and he has this plan before his death which he pleaded with me to appropriate it to accomplishment. He took this decision with me to use this fund in building an orphanage in his name that will accommodate thousand's of children, and also to use part of this fund in helping the less fortunate and to spread the gospel of the lord to the remote places of the world.

He made this deposit of $( 2.7 Million )USD Two million Seven hundred
thousand in a Finance Security Company here in Abidjan . Recently, my Doctor told me that i would not last for the next 5 months due to cancer & stroke illness.

Having known my condition i decided to seek for a competent and
reliable God fearing person or church to entrust this fund to utilize this
fund the way i narrated above as my late husband desired.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".
I took this decision because i don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my late husband's relatives are not Christians and I
don't want my late husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death
hence i know where i am going. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives are around me always. i don't want them to know about this development.

As soon as i receive your reply i shall give you the relevant documents
that will legalize you to have access over this fund. I will also
issue you an affidavit that will proove you the present beneficiary of this
fund in the Finance Security Company. I want you and the church to
always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.

My happiness is that i and my late husband lived a life of a worthy
Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit
and Truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life and pray to God to
forgive me my sins. Any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing for another church or a God fearing person for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as i stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.

Your's Sister In Christ,
Mrs. Magaret Herman.

This is just a small sampling of the many 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.
