From ([email protected])

I am writting this letter with due respect and heartful of tears since we have not known or met
ourselves previously.I am asking for your assistance after I have gone through a profile that speaks good of you. I will be so glad if you can allow and lead me to the right channel towards your assistance to my situation now. I will make my proposal well known if I am given the
opportunity. I would like to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. well, i am miss Fatima Adisa 22years old girl and I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it as an emmergency.In nutshell, My (late) father REV,Adisa Peter was the managing Director of Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mine company in (KENEMA) Liberia. But he was killed along side with my mother during the longing civil war and all his properties was totally
destroyed.However, after their death I managed to escape with a
very important document (DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE (US$6.7m)Six million Seven Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY)which i am the next of kin.

Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me transfer the money over to his country and into his possession pending my arrival to meet with him. Furthermore,you can contact the company for onfirmation and i will issue a letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the security company to deal with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist me or take me as your wife and manage the money.Conclusively,i wish you send me a reply immediately as soon as you recieve this proposal,
please write me back through this email address ([email protected])
Until then,i remain with the best Regards Miss Fatima.

heh, I\'ve played with those people before and posted one of my baits on the message boards there in the past. You can keep them going for months if you get a good one but in all honesty the best policy is just to send their details to the isp they\'re using before they actually catch out someone not bright enough to realise...
