And what follows is a convoluted sob story of one misery
after another, along with a healthy dose of gibberish, spelling errors, terrible
gram, syntax and punctuation, not exactly befitting an extremely wealthy person. And now, poor bereaved
"James Odorikpe", needs YOUR help to "come and meet me here in abidjan Cote D'ivoire, On your arrival you will open a non-residence bank account where this money will be lodged into". Odd that they'd pick a total stranger,
in a foreign
country to trust their money to, don't you think?
One big clue to a scam about to come your way is when a stranger
addresses you as "Dearest One"! Of course, it is a scam. Don't reply to it.

From repulic of Cote D'ivoire.
Dearest One.
I am writing this
message out of a genuine desperation and with a sorrowful heart and i want
you to permit me to inform you about my desire to seek for your immediate
assistance. I believe that you will not let down the trust and confidence
that i am about to repose on you.
I am Mr. James
Odorikpe, A sierra leonian .The only son of Mr and Mrs. Jonathan Odorikpe,
My father was a very rich diamond merchant, Based in free-town, The capital
of sierra leone before he was poisoned to death by his business associates
on one of their outings to discuss on a business deal. When my Mother died
on october 24, 2005, My father took me so special since iam motherless.
Before the death of
my father on november 26,2006 in a private hospital where he was admitted,
he called me secretly to his bed side and told me that he deposited a trunk
box containing the sum of $10.000.000usd (10 million united states dollars)
in a trust and finance company in
Abidjan Cote D'ivoire.
That he also
explained to me that it was because of this money he was poisoned by his
business partners and that i should seek for a foreign partner in a country
of my choice where i would transfer this money and use it for an investment
purpose, such as. Real estate investment or stock market investment.
I am honourably soliciting for your kind assistance as follows.
1) To come and meet
me here in
abidjan Cote D'ivoire,
On your arrival you will open a non-residence bank account where this money
will be lodged into, After withdrawing the box from the trust and finance
company.
2) To serve as the
guardian of these fund, since i am a young boy of 17 years old till the time
i get to the age to managen the fund by my self.
3) To make
arrangement for me in your country to continue my educational career and to
procure me a residential permit in your country.
I am inclined to
offer you 15% of the total sum as a mode of compensation for your efforts
after the transferring of these fund to your nominated account overseas and
10% for any expenses that you might incure during the couse of this
transaction.
Be aware that the
trust and finace company does not know the contents of the box as money
because my father told me that he deposited the box to them as family
valueable. I am expecting hearing from you as soon as possible.
N.B: I will like you
to give me your direct telephone and You Real name in your reply of this
proposal for an easy communication.
May almighty god
bless you as you do care for me amen.
Respectfull your's,
Mr. James Odorikpe.
