Yes, “orphans from Abidjan” is a favourite theme which is often used in scam e-mails.

Of course, the obligatory “father poisoned by business partners” is included.

Eric’s e-mail is of the usual money transfer type. Of course, his father was killed mysteriously while in Europe. And guess what! He says his uncle did it!

It’s a fairy tale as always …

Dear Respectful One,

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

I am Eric Kuame .22years old and the only SON of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.TOURE . My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)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.Febuary 2003.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 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he  called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank.

I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate 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. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as your son ?
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.
 
Thank you so much.

My sincere regards.
Eric Kuame

Dearest one,

Greetings as you go through the dept of this email designed to inform you of my desire to go into business relationship with you which will in turn be of a great mutual benefit to both of us although I selected your email address among others because of it’s esteeming nature while surfing the internet.

I am GEORGE TUMBA the only child of late Mr. and Mrs. EDMOND TUMBA, my parents were very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory coast before they were both poisoned to death by my father’s brothers while on a family meeting in the village.

However, before my father gave up to the ghost on the 24th of Dec.2001 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly waved me to his bedside and whispered in my ear that he deposited the sum of TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS (USD$12,000.000) in one metallic trunk box into an Abidjan base security company under the coverage of family valuables using my name as the next of kin.

He also made me to understand that his brothers were responsible for his death and instructed me to look for a foreigner who will help me transfer this fund and invest it wisely abroad and to prove it all, six month after my parents death his brothers sold all his properties including our family house and now seeking to kill me too.

Dear, I am honorably seeking for your assistance to help me sign-out the boxes from the security company and transfer this funds to your country possibly through your account if we can reach a compromise because you will stand as the guardian to this funds while I further my education in your country.

Incase, you wish to assist me and know more about this matter do not hesitate to reach me for your response through this email george_tumba0028@yahoo.fr

I look forward to hear from you soonest.

Thanks and God bless you and your family.
