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 …

From: Eric Kuame .
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.

What you have to do now is to contact the Fedex Express Delivering Company as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you And For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge of the package.
The only money you will send to the Fedex Express Delivering Company is $95 for Security Keeping Fee to Enable them Settle the Security Company And deliver your package direct to your postal Address in your country is $95 only being Security Keeping Fee of the Fedex Express Delivering Company so far.
Again, don’t be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $95 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and incase of demurrage You have to contact the Fedex Express Delivering Company now for the delivery of your package.
This is Their contact Innformation Below: Contact Person:Rev,Dr.William Brown . Email Address: (f_expresscourier_002@deliveryman.com) Tele Phone:00229-93773406 Or 00229-97498876.

This character assumes we have been in contact with each other. I don’t know if that will work very well if his name is not recognized.
What makes this message a joke is that he’s saying I will get 1 million US Dollars from him, just because I allegedly helped him in the past.

Assuming these crooks really sent 1.5 million US Dollars with UPS, this is what you should know.
All packages being sent through a worldwide courier service do get x-rayed. That means, money will be recognised by the specialists running the machines. If you are the recipient of such a shipment, you will be arrested for money laundering.
As the crooks will never send you any money, this will, of course, not happen. Even so, if you decide to contact these people, you will lose money.

First of all, Suzann tells you her personal details. It sounds more as though she is taking part in a partner website for singles if you ask me.
She then goes on to tell you that she is looking for a trustworthy soul willing to help her invest her money for her. It’s only 5.5 million USD, so you don’t have to stampede to help her just yet.
I don’t know about you, but I get a several of this kind of message to my tagged account every day. They are all supposedly from young African women with millions of dollars which they have to get out of the country.
It’s obvious that these messages are only used to target men. It’s the damsel in distress kind of message appealing to Knights in shining armour, which we all are, of course.
