West Africa.

(URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED)

Dearest One.

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Helen Nana, 21 years old and the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Nana. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital city of Ivory coast during his days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year June 2006.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
But God knows the truth!

Before the death of my father he disclosed to me about the total sum of $10.5Million US dollars in a Metalic Trunk Box,and deposited under a security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire and it was registered as FAMILY VALUABLES containg AFRICAN ARTWORKS, THIS HE DID FOR SECURITY REASONS.

This fund represent the huge sales of Cocoa.
For security reasons according to my late father he made an agreement with the security company that his partner/beneficiary will come forward for the claiming of the consignments for onward transfer.

I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded., my late father adviced me while in sick bed that I should look for a Honest Trustworthy and Reliable foreigner who will stand as his foriegn business partner/beneficiary of the consignments so that the Metalic Trunk Box containing $10.5M USD, will be Released to him/her for a partnership investment, based on our agreement.

Right now, I am writing to know if you can stand as the beneficiary of the Consignment and to also provide me your full ID details so that I will submit it to the security company for the release of the consignment for a partnership investment you will introduce in your country.

Note that after the consignment is claim is made, you will send some money to me in order for to secure the necessary travelling documents to come over to meet with you for the investment. Upon the confirmation of your interest to assist me, the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT the AGREEMENT,and the OFFICIAL RECIEPT which was issued to my late father by the security company at the day of deposit will be forwarded to you for your VERIFICATION & CONFIRMATION.

I promise to offer you 10% of the total sum to you for your assistance while 5% will be set aside for any expences that may arise during the prosess of claiming.

Please indicate your interest as soon as you recieved this mail.

NOTE: THIS TRANSACTION NEEDS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY FOR SECURITY REASONS.

NOTE AGAIN: THE OFFICIALS OF THE SECURITY COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THE REAL CONTENT OF THE METALLIC TRUNK BOX, BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERED AS FAMILY VALUABLES
CONTAINING AFRICA ARTWORKS.

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Helen Nana,

OPINION:

Do not respond to scammer/spammer email.
Report it and/or delete it.
That's the way to handle scams.

Fyi.

No, no -- never respond to a spammer scam. In fact, it was a booboo to put this up on a thread.

This thread needs to be pulled, sorry.

These people are scum and need to be visited by frogmen and left to cool slowly in the flaming wreckage of their spammer operations centers.

She's been trying for at least a couple years now.

"In fact, it was a booboo to put this up on a thread."

WHY?

[AlexW]

"In fact, it was a booboo to put this up on a thread."

WHY?

[BigSkyFreeper]

She's apparently deaf, and miraculously aged 2 years since last April.

Because the spammer's contact e-mail address was posted, for one thing, and because posting it gave the spammer a ton of otherwise unavailable free publicity, for another.

[tcostell]

I saw a great website last year about a guy in the UK who turned the spam thing around and got them to send him all sorts of hand carved woodcrafts for free using the same techniques they did. It was really brilliant... I'll post the link if I can find it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

This the handcarving you're talking about? :)

"Because the spammer's contact e-mail address was posted, for one thing, and because posting it gave the spammer a ton of otherwise unavailable free publicity, for another."

So what? Are you worried that FReepers will spam her?
What publicity does she get?
Maybe she is tempting to you, but I don't think any other FReepers are going to be begging for her attention, hahahaha

Sorry for my dup post before... I was distracted by an IM.

I wish all these spammers would pursue the profitable occupation of drilling holes in fuel lines, like their neighbors are doing all the time.

Don't forget your BIC!
