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

What can I say. This is an interesting variation on the “I found a pile of money in a dormant account” story. Would you believe from the Bank of Scotland. I’m pretty sure the Scots know pretty damn well what money is kept within their organisation.

Anyway, this is just the usual west African scam e-mail text just changed a little bit. It sounds more serious and believable that way.

I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO INVOLVE A FOREIGNER WITH
A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS THE REAL BENEFICIARY. I NEED YOUR CO-OPERATION
TO MAKE THIS WORK FINE, BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT IS READY TO APPROVE
THIS PAYMENT TO ANY FOREIGNER WHO HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION TO
THIS ACCOUNT,WHICH I WILL GIVE TO YOU WHEN SURE OF YOUR CAPABILITY

ASSURANCE AND TRUST. I SHALL DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTS CONCERNING
THIS TRANSACTIONS IMMEDIATELY WE RECEIVED THIS MONEY LEAVING NO
