This is just an adaption of earlier e-mails.

Funny though, the contact man is in “Ouagadougou”.

Doesn’t that sound familiar?

Dear Friend.

I am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from USA . Presently i’m in France for investment projects with my own share of the total sum.meanwhile,i didn’t forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

Now contact my secretary in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso ,his name is Mr.Paul folouma on his email I.D secretaryfoloumaa@yahoo.fr ask him to send you the total of $100.000.00 which i kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter.I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touch with my secretary Paul folouma and instruct him where to send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferness at that time. in the moment, I’m very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new partner are having at hand, finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Paul folouma, he will send the amount to you without any delay.

Extend my regards to your beloved family.

Yours Faithfully,

For most people who don’t speak French, this e-mail would probably be deleted without much thought.

My French is not all that good, but I did notice the PDF file which was attached to it.

Lo and behold! The creative artists who did this have come up with an unusual twist to the Lottery Scam type of message!

They made a flashy (and trashy) PDF file using a photo of Marc Andressen to promote “his” special lottery.

Occasionally, the boys from Africa do actually think a little bit before they send out there scam e-mails.
