Dearest One,

It is my pleasure to write you trusting God that this well timed contact will bring us into one family. I am Miss marry adel the daughter of late Mr. Franklin adel from Liberia . But residing Bouake Southern part of Cote d'Ivoire

My father was a Cocoa merchant in Bouake before his untimely death last year, after his business trip to France , to negotiate on a cocoa business. He was poisoned by his business associates.

My mother died when I was still a baby here. Before the death of my father he informed me that he deposited the sum of Three Million, Eight Hundred United State Dollars (US$3.8 Million) in a prime bank here in Cote Ivoire.

My father also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that made his business associates to poison him. He asked me to seek for a reliable foreign partner outside our country where I will transfer this money and invest it wisely and also see that I complete my education.

I am soliciting for your kind assistance as my foreign guardian in releasing of this fund from the bank and have it transfer into your account for investment. And you help me to come to your country immediately as my late father advised me.

I wait for your quick response.
Your marry adel

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in this e-mail have absolutely no connection with this scam!

None of the scammers use their real names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.
Whatever these scammers tell you, DON'T believe a word of it!!!

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER 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.
