<p>Dearest,</p>

<p>Based on the information and recommendation I got about quick growth of business, investment and commerce in your country, I deemed it necessary to write and inform you about my interest to invest in any viable venture in joint partnership with you. I am Miss HELEN .G. KAMA the first daughter of H.R.H CHIEF of DURUKA (ALAHAJI USMAN KAMA ) of (blessed memory) the ex- king of DANFO tribe in the easthern part of SUDAN. I am 22 years old.</p>

<p>On the 19th May, 2000 my Father was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically elected President of my country Sudan. Almost half of our palace was burnt. Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided the palace my Father married 4 wives with 16 children two of the wives, with my 3 brother where murdered in cold blood while my twine brother escape the incident with bullet wounds on his right leg, at themoment where the remaining families are I don't know their way about wheather they are alive or not. Right now I am left alone with only one brother since the sudden assassination of my Father my family has been displaced and totally disorganized left with nothing.</p>

<p>That was how my Father was killed,Before the incedent,I remembered that my late Father gave me some document to keep for him as the first daughter of him, usual he told me in confidence that he deposited (18.5 million USD) in a Security Finance Company in Abidijan Capital city of (C</p>

<p>You should send them your social security number instead of phone and fax - you'll get the money faster!</p>

i'd send it to the police</p>

<p>Those damn Nigerian scammers.</p>

<p>15.3 million dollarS!!!</p>

<p>ITS a lot of BenJAMinS.......lol....</p>

<p>lol maybe you of you guys should email him/her/it.</p>

<p>omg......i think this was meant for someone else...it losts its original destination and ended up in your e-mail...
QUIZQUICK you need to contact the witness protection.....and send it to the police asking them what is this?</p>

<p>I remember a few years ago a friend of mine got a similar one in the post. It was a by a guy called Iya Abubakar, and had to deal with keeping money in the bank account for a while and earning millions of dollars for just doing that. It's a hoax...so dont pay attention to it.</p>

<p>I’m just curious, but if you create an email account using a fake name, can they still trace it to you? When I created this alternate email, I put down “John Doe” and the person.</p>

<p>It's a 419 scam....</p>

<p>google: "419 eater" if you want to laugh... there's a site where this guy spends a bunch of time messing around with these scammers and wasting their time and making them do ridiculous stuff</p>

<p>Its The Nigerian Bank Scam Fool.</p>

<p>...it's fun to e-mail them repeatedly and act like you're extremely interested and then cut them off...tell them you've purchased a plane ticket and plan to be there on __ at ___ time. Then, don't show up and make the dude made. Wait a week and e-mail him and say gotcha!</p>

<p>^ Who laughs last, who laughs best. :)</p>

<p>I got that email a while ago. It's a scam. Believe me.</p>

<p>I thought this was ancient news-wan't the Nigerian scam done almost four years ago?
And yes, any email asking for that kind of money is a scam. Even if the email was true, you are setting up an offshore bank account for a criminal. Any crap happens and you will be the one doing the time.</p>
