Having read these messages almost every day for the last 10 to 12 years it’s interesting to see what these people come up with.

Like this one. A simple story with no way to confirm it to be true and written to fit anyone who reads it.

This is just like most of the messages which are being sent out by African crooks. They are not always logical.

You can see that they use various kinds of messages by reading a part of one sentence

contract fund, inheritance or Lottery Wining

Obviously they are trying to catch people who may have been victims before.
