Greetings My Dearest one,

Good day and how are you today? I hope you are fine i desire of asking you to be a guardian or foster parent to me and then help me out in what i want to tell you.

I'm Fillomina Williams I am 22 years the only daughter of Late Mr. & Mrs. Ben Collins Williams. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant here in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire. He was shut to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. my mother died when i am a baby and that made my father took me so special.

Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars USD ( $4,800.000.00 ) which he deposited in a suspense account in one of the big banks here in Abidjan.

He told me that he used my name as the next of Kin in depositing the money. He then strongly advised me not to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner from any country of my choice (outside our country,Cote D'Ivoire) that willl assist me in the wise investment of the money since the money is in the bank with the view of making use of it for investment purposes after my education carrier here.

I have also vacated from my father's house due to my safety, and as i am writting to you now, i am currently staying in a church with one Pastor Michael whom acepted me to stay in his church for the mean time after i have explained everything that happened to me and my condition of life at the moment. i want to stay here in thisch church temporary until i finds someone that will be of good help to me I want to transfer this money out and use it for investment purpose like real estate management or hotel management.

Because of this i am honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:

(1) To serve as a guardian to me and then assist me transfer the money into your bank account.

(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and then settle there parmanently.

If you accept to stand as my guardian or foster parent to me, i need not to discuss any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as yours and then assist me invest it. But if you still want a percentage, i am willing to offer you, 20 % of the total money as compensation for your assistance.

Please tell me how you feel about the percentage i offered, if is not ok by you. As soon as i receive your concrete assurance to assist me with the proposal and also your full contact address/phone number, i will then give you the bank contact information where the money is still lying unclaimed so that you can contact them for more clearifications also to proceed and transfer the money into your account while i come over to stay with you parmanently after the transfer of the fund.

The bank will then proceed and communicate with you on the transfer. You shall then give me information on when thetransfer will be over.i shall also send my picture to you and shall also need yours too.

No matter what your decision may turn out to be,please i plead you to keep this highly secret for my safety, as i believe that those that killed my father are still after me.


Thanks and God bless you .
Best regards
Fillomina Williams

Dam it. I deleted it after i read it. But mine was from a guy Mr suri something saying he inherited over $4 million, and wanted to put $660,000 into my account to help poor people and all that stuff. What a load of poop.
 
:lol: *waits in anticipation*

They might have gotten a shock that someone has ACTUALLY replied to one of these letters :lol: :lol:

A lot more people than you actually would think do reply and get caught by these scams.
A good read about them from the Australian Institute Of Criminology
http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/tandi/ti121.pdf

In the US alone billions are lost to these people. There are lots of gullible people out there.
 
How about you post the email address and then we can swamp them with replies.
 
Dear Luke Sturdy

i,am grateful after i read your message because It is not easy to accept helping someone whom you do not know , these days that everyones mind has changed. i thank you and i am pleading and assuring that i will not betray this trust which you have given me .you see, iam not into business experience and i do not know anything about banking or transfer of money and my aim for contacting you is for you to lead and guide me.

Please I will like you to take me as your own daughter because i have no helper since after the death of my parents .

now that i want to move out of this country, i want you to take me as your own daughter, and help me to locate an apartment in your country but if you can accept to allow me stay in your house as one familiy no problem., while the investment of this $4.8million you will take care of it , and i will continue my education.

I want to make a suggestion to you , since we dont know each other, can you come here in my country cote d'ivoire?, at least your presence here will help me secure my travelling documents after settling everything with the bank. but if you cannot come here, no problem i will forward my photo to you in my next message and you will foward yours to me too.

There is one more thing i need from you and that is honesty and good corperation also you will assure me safety of this $4.8million usd in your country as you can see i am an orphan and the only thing my father left for me to take care of myself is this $4.8million, My relatives and my uncles have claimed all my father's properties and i ran out from my father's house because they wanted to kill me as they killed my father.

Bear you in mind that i dont know any business in your country it is you who will manage this $4.8million for me in your country because i dont want to loose this money it is my only hope in life and you will help me to look for good school where i will continue my education when i come to your country.

As soon as i receive your next email with full assurance that you will assist me with this, i will go to the bank where my father deposited this $4.8million and introduce you as my foreign partner who will invest this money for me and i will also give you the bank contact and the deposited account number and some other neccessary doccuments for you to call the bank and verify before they will proceed to transfer the money to you, then after the transfer i will come to join you in your country.

I am waiting for your hopeful response.


God Bless You

Fillomina Williams

i fully understand the importantance of securing the money.
i have quite a few friends in private security who i can hire to escort you safely to my home.
for which you will stay a while untill i can find a suitable apartment for you to live in.
but as my work is quite taxing i cant come to your town an escourt you myself.

how ever i can ensure an private escort can meet you there.

i will need a photo to confirm you are who you are.

more than one will be needed for photo id
plus passport's
 
Haha! He keeps saying "$4.8million" :lol: Amazing that anyone actually falls for these scams! "Yeah, I'm a cute young lady who wants you to take control of me and my outrageous fortune, because you're a random stranger from another country" :lol: "I don't know how to manage $4.8million, and y'know, that's not enough to finish my education without a savvy investor making it grow bigger 'n' all that, 'cause, y'now, if I just used it without risking it by handing it to a random stranger it would only last me about, um, five trillion years in the useless, desperate, third world country I live in".

I'm not quite sure what you're hoping to achieve, but everyone needs a hobby and it sounds like you're having fun :) When wealthy, lonely princesses and other such people using yahoo.com addresses beg me for help by offering me millions of dollars, I can never be bothered :p
 
Surely you'll send them this as a picture of yourself ;) :D

"I have quite a few friends in private security that can help escort you to me"

WoW - Its kinda funny in a way, but seriously, these scams do get people.

Imagine you DID believe this (your obviously stupid), youve given a photo, all your home address and details, you fly over to meet the "private security" helpers, your abducted, and held for ransom..

Its actually pretty freaky stuff..

And it DOES happen..

Anyway, I can tell you how it ends.. Because I played around with a very similar email a few months back, had about 20 replies.

You will offer to go over there and be abducted.

Or it will come to a point where your told "I cant get the money out of bank untill im out of country! Please, I have no money, I just need 2500 for air fare and then I can come over and deposit the 4.8 million into your bank"

LOL
 
It sounds like it would be extremely easy to catch these people - get a bunch of cops to pose as complete and utter morons, wait for the abduction attempt then swoop. I suppose the local governments in third world countries would probably quietly encourage this sort of scam as it brings money into the country, and it's too expensive for our own governments to bother with.

If they ask for $2,500 to get the ticket to fly over, tell them that you need $50 to get a taxi to the bank to transfer the money ;)
 
Dear Luke,

I thank you so much for your message also the assurance you are giving me about the security of this money and myself. If you can send someone to escort me to your home, i think it will be better and easier for me.

It is late here in my country and i will go to the bank tomorrow morning to meet the bank director and explain to him about you and as soon as i comes back from the bank, i will email you withe the details i got from the bank so that you will proceed with them to get my fund to your country.

I will foward my photos to you as you needed also please i will like you to send yours to me as well to help me know you better.

Thank you once again for your caring and GOD bless you

Fillomina.

Dear fillomina.

Ive contacted my private security escort service an they inform me of a high level of risk involved with this transaction.

to ensure im not talking to a machine / program they require a "Signature picture"

once this picture has been confirmed (only takes 2 min if that) I can have your passport an plane flight details ready for implanmentation.

if you or a representive (known friend or bank manager anyone you know)
could take a picture of them selves holding a sign with the follow security code written 'Clearly' on the sign.

The security code is as follows:

I l1ke L1L Ch1ldr3n

once this code is confirmed i can have a security escort on the next flight.

Kind Regards.
