Cher, Je suis Mme dimingos de bonita, de verd de cap. Je suis marié à défunt M. brams adam, pour qui a travaillé avec l’ambassade de verd de cap en Côte d’Ivoire vingt-six ans avant qu’il est mort en l’année 2005, après une brève maladie qui a duré pendant seulement cinq jours. Nous étions mariés pendant dix-huit années avec un duaghter (Tonia) qui plus tard est mort dans un accident de moteur. Avant la mort prématurée de mon mari, nous étions tous deux encore nés chrétiens. Puisqu’après sa mort j’ai décidé de pas remarry ou ne pas obtenir un enfant en dehors de mon matrimonial maison contre laquelle la bible est. Quand mon défunt mari était vivant il a déposé la somme de (US$5.5M) (cinq Million de cinq cents mille dollars d’Etats-Unis) à une société de valeurs mobilières ici en Côte d’Ivoire d’Abidjan.
Récemment, suivant ma santé mauvaise, mon docteur m’a dit que je ne peux pas durer les huit mois suivants dus à mon problème de cancer. Celui qui me dérange est plus ma maladie de course. Après avoir su mon état j’ai décidé pour donner ces fonds à une organisation de Christain (Église) qui utilisera cet argent la manière que je suis allant instruire ci-dessus, selon le désir de mon défunt mari avant sa mort.
Je veux ces fonds pour être employé dans des activités de Christain comme, des écoles d’orphelinats, de Christain, et des églises pour propager le mot de Dieu et pour essayer que la maison de Dieu est maintenue.
La bible nous a incités pour comprendre que « béni est remettre ce giveth “. J’ai pris cette décision parce qu’I n’avoir aucun enfant qui héritera de cet argent et mes parents de mari ne sont pas des chrétiens et je ne fais pas vouloir les efforts de mon mari d’être employé par des incroyants. Je ne veux pas une situation où cet argent sera employé d’une manière ungodly. C’est pourquoi je prends ceci décision.
Je n’ai pas peur de la mort par conséquent que je sais où je suis aller. Je sais que je vais être dans la poitrine de le seigneur. L’exode 14 CONTRE 14 indique que « le seigneur défendre ma cause et je tiendrai ma paix “. Je n’ai besoin d’aucune communication de téléphone à cet égard en raison de ma santé par conséquent la présence des parents de mon mari autour de moi toujours. Je ne veux pas qu’ils sachent ce développement. Avec Dieu toutes les choses sont possibles. Dès que je recevrai votre réponse je te donnerai le contact de la société de valeurs mobilières à Abidjan. Je vous instruire également sur la façon dont vous entrez en contact avec la sécurité compagnie pour le retreival de la boîte de tronc cela contient l’argent. Je veux toi et l’église à prier toujours pour moi parce que le seigneur est mon shephard. Mon bonheur est que j’ai vécu une vie d’un digne Chrétien. Celui qui qui veut servir le seigneur doit le servir dans l’esprit et la vérité. Veuillez être toujours pieux tout par votre vie. Me contacter sur cet email address : (bonital_2000@yahoo.fr) n’importe quel retard dans votre réponse me donner la pièce dans l’approvisonnement une église ou un homme différente de Dieu, dans ce même but. Considérer Mme Bonita

My Dear one,
I am Sandrine Nzi the only daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. Nzi Joseph My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip .
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on March 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of twelve million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD ($12,500,000.00) left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of 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 and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management .
Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways: (1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to .
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
Moreover, Dear, i am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon.
These crooks are targeting people who have already lost money to 419 scams. The Nigerians are world champions when it comes to cheating people out of their money for bogus lottery prizes and abandoned money in accounts somewhere in Africa.
Now they want previous victims believe that they will finally get their money back. Of course they will only be cheated once again if they believe this rubbish.

Greetings, STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner and I want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax mail But I respectfully insist you read this mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open door for unimaginable financial reward for both of us.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name over the Internet to locate any member of his family or next of kin/relative. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they get confiscated declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge amount USD30 Million is lodged. The bank has issued me notice to provide the next of kin/Relative or have the account confiscated within the next 21 banking days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for past years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of in/Relative of the deceased so that this USD30Million can be transferred into your account and then you and I will share this fund according to any agreed ratio.
All I require is your honest co-operation and confidentiality to enable us see this deal through, I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.PLEASE CONTACT ME ONLY THROUGH MY DIRECT EMAIL: abdulazizdemed@hotmail.com immediately you receive this mail.
