Anybody know what Mrss. means? It could be it’s a new title like Mister. Or maybe it’s just a spelling mistake.

Other than further spelling mistakes, it’s interesting to note the use of “Evangelist”. Here in Europe or the US titles like this are not used. Maybe in Africa it is used similarly to Reverend or Pastor. Whatever the case, using this title is designed to give the message a trustworthy note. The crux of the matter is the question “Would you give a stranger with a religious title more trust than someone without a title?”.

These people quote titles like Dr. and Professor to give the impression we are dealing with an honourable man. Now this e-mail says the contact person is Dr Rev Anderson Jefferd.

Do you think that giving him the title of Reverend improves on that?

To: mohammedaltaf@e-apollo.lv

FROM: MR. MOHAMMED ALTAF I do seriously need your help because I am disabled from a motor accident and can not travel abroad for business and otherwise on Doctor’s orders. I was an Oil consultant based in the United Kingdom, and because I helped a lot of foreign Crude Oil Companies to get Crude Oil Lifting Rights and lucrative Oil Contracts from ASIA AND AFRICA, I was able to amass a fortune worth about USD20million. On 21st December, 2004, I left the UK finally with my family, and came back to BENIN Rep. But because of the unfavourable political and economic climate in Benin, and for security reasons, I left my money total USD20million in a Security Safe Deposit vault compnay. On 22nd December, I and my whole family was involved in a very bad accident on our way home to our Village at IGOLO in PORT-NOVO, about 300 km from COTONOU, BENIN; I lost my entire family in the accident, and I myself fell into a coma since then… I eventually recovered from coma, and was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago. I have no money with which to sponsor any one in Benin to undertake the claim of the money for me; in any case , my extended family here abandoned me in hospital when they realized that the money which I came back with had been spent on hospital bills; I am currently living on the charity of a church. And now, I need your help to collect this money and invest it in a profitable venture abroad; I cannot bring in this money into Benin for fear of seizure by the Government. If the money is properly and profitably invested abroad, I intend to leave BENIN permanently. Can I count on your help? If you agree to help me, I will send you by Post/courier the ELECTRONIC CARD KEY of my vault so that you can open the vault when the security safe deposit company shall cargo the vault to you ; You will then remove the money total USD20 million and transfer it to your Bank Account. For your help and assistance, you will keep 25% of the money for your self and keep 75% for me in safe custody until I travel to meet you and invest my share… If you agree to help me, please reply giving me the following information: 1. Your Complete name and Street (POSTAL) address 2. Your Phone and fax number, including mobile 3. Your confidential email address 4. Your nearest airport where they will land before bringing the vault to your desination . TO PREVENT THE KEY AGAINST LOSS IN TRANSIT, PLEASE KINDLY STATE YOUR CORRECT NAME AND STREET ADDRESS… THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A HOAX! YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THIS EMAIL IS A GENUINE 100% LEGITIMATE PROPOSAL, ONCE YOU REPLY AS ABOVE. Once I receive your reply stating your street postal address as above, I will send you the Safe Deposit Vault Key by EXPRESS MAIL, and I will also forward to you more details of this transaction by email. Details will include the address, contact details of the Safe Deposit Company in London where my money is currently stored… Best regards, MR.MOHAMMED ALTAF PS: PLEASE I DO EXPECT YOUR RESPONSE positive to MY CONFIDENTAIL EMAIL ADDRESS; mohammedaltaf@sify.com , EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP ME, PLEASE REPLY ANYWAY AND TELL ME, SO THAT I CAN CONTACT ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP ME.
