Dearest one

It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since telephone communication can not be suitable enough to communicate to you at first.time Iam Miss Rashida Banabas the only daughter of my father, late Mr. ALPHONSIUS BANABAS from Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa I am 23years of age.

My father was a limited liability of Cocoa and Gold merchant in Abidjan capital city of Cote d'Ivoire before his untimely death. After his business trip to Belguim and Italy to negotiate a cocoa and gold business he wanted to invest ,A week after he came back from Belguim and Italy, he was attacked with my mother by unknown assassins. My mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful afternoon. 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. My father (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of $ 10,000,000,00 US Dollars (TEN MILLION DOLLARS) in a security and company here in Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire.

That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold company he wanted to establish in Belguim and Italy though according to my father he deposited the money in trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings. He handed me the key of the box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my lifetime who will help me to investment the money abroad.

Now I have succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan - Cote d'ivoire and also confirmed the items with most honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. Please kindly contact me through the above email address immediately for more discussion.

Thanks for your kind attention.

Yours sincerely

Miss Rashida Banabas

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

The scammers never use their real names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.

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

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