here is my biography From seran | 10/03/2008 5:10:58 AM PDT new

Dearest One, With due respect I write you this mail hoping that you will lend ear to my request. I got to your profile in the site in my search for a honest and trustworthy person who will assist me as my father instructed before his death, and after days of prayers I decided to contact you. First and foremost and brief self introduction, I am Seran williams from Africa, 22years old and the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs Williams, i love music as well, am 5.8 feet tall. Infact as time goes on you will know more about me. My father was a highly reputable businessman who operated in the capital 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 12th.Feb. 2005. 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!My mother died when I was just 11 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12 /2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of 19.5 million EURO (Nineteen million five hundred thousand deposited with BANK here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.West Africa. He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund,with the bank as her only daughter, as well as the next of kin to the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just 22 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and really don’t know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory Coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. Dearest one, i am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.Now permitme to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as a friend? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your private telephone if you are willing to have the relevant documents to confirm the existence of the fund for verification from the bank and to confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy communication. Once the fund transfer i will come over to your country on investment negotiation. Please contact through my email seranwilliams2@yahoo.com

Yours Sincerely. Seran Williams.

Was that sent on behalf of Hank Paulson? Heaven knows he's pushing the Mother Of All Nigerian Scams in the House today.

Has anyone ever set up an account with say, one dollar in it and asked to have the money transferred? It would be interesting to see what they do.
