You get the impression that this fellow is trying to get around spam filters. He writes just one sentence in the e-mail.

And this is the attachment:

This one is a rehash of the “I’m the son/daughter of a wealthy cocoa merchant from the Ivory coast and my father was poisoned by his partners” story. You see I almost fit it into one sentence …

Dearest one,

l know this mail will come as a surprise to you. I have a proposal for you to this project however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss Linda Jerry 24years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Jerry Richard. My father was a highly reputable farmer (a cocoa merchant) in cote d’ ivories during his days.

It is sad to say that he was poisoned and passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 15th. OCT 2007.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his brother, my uncle who traveled with him at that time.

But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.

Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune (his death) He called me and explained to me the reason why he will make this trip and also told me that he deposited a trunk box that contain($ 8.500.000.00 Million US Dollars) in a Bank there in Abidjan Ivory Coast and that this money is for an investment purpose overseas.

He gave me the certificate that he used for the deposit of the fund and other vital documents of his asset, after his death l went to the Bank and establish ownership of the fund. Now l need your assistance to move this fund to your country for investment as that has been my late father’s aim before his death. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -

Can you honestly help me receive the said fund, what will you like to take as your commission to assist me in this project?

Please can you kindly arrange a letter of invitation to enable me migrate to your country after this fund might have lodge into your account? Are you ready to help and pay all charges to the bank for the transfer of the fund to your account. If this proposal arouse your interest kindly contact me back with my email address immediately.

Thanks for your Understanding

Anticipat Your Cooperation.
