My Dear,

It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my Son, intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life. There is this amount of Eight Million Five hundred US Dollars ($8.500.000.00)which my late Husband deposited with a security company in Abidjan Capital city of Cote d'Ivoire which he wanted to used for his political reason in our Country before he was assassinated.

Now I and my son have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and political reasons. We want you to help us claim and receive the consignment which will be sent to you through diplomatic means to your address to avoid any traces of the funds and to enable you plan for the investment in your Country.

I will like to invest part of the money into these three investment in your Country but, if there is any other business that is better than what I am suggestion, I will be very glad to follow your advice.

1). Real estate
2). The transport industry
3). Five star hotel

If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you 20% Of the total fund while the balance will be invested by you.

I await your soonest response.

Respectfully yours,

Mrs. Estella Davis

Another variation of the Nigerian Letter Scam

There seem to be hundreds of variations of that one letter. I wonder if these people have ever had a real job, or just devoted their lives to scamming innocent people of their hard earned money

There are a lot of way to earn from internet , some will follow the right way but some doesn't . I think they are sending scam e-mail everyday and just hope for the only 1% feedback is enough .

Oh God, I escaped from their scam

Sometimes just from reading the subject, you know there's something not right. Don't bother with it. Most of the time I try to open emails just from people I know, or programs that I'm involved with.

I just go the same email today!

I'm suprised you even had to ask!

it is 100% a SCAM. My brother got scammed by these Ass*oles. I get alot of these emails and always delete them. Don't ever believe these e-mails. I almost got scammed with these people as well because they tried to send me a message through ebay and I sent them some of my information too, but only to find out the my ebay account was hacked and I was blocked due to unauthorized access. They even tried to hack my PayPal account but thanks to advance security of the PayPal, the were not able to steal any of my information.

Just putting this back on top. I hope no one falls for this scam!!
