DEAREST - Yours deafully
You'll all have seen the Nigerian Scam as it's often called. It comes in various versions but the basic plot is this:
You get an email which says something along the lines of: A relative of mine has died. He had squillions of pounds. I need a temporary bank account to put them in. For some reason I thought of you, yes YOU - amazing, of all the millions of people in the world! I sat there in Africa and thought hey, Fred Boggins of Heckmondwike, he's my man, I can trust him.
All you have to do, Fred, is send your bank details off to Africa with a bank transfer fee of only a few hundred pounds - nothing when you consider what your share of my relative's squillions is going to be.
And Fred sends off his few hundred quid and, unsurprisingly, hears no more. But there must be lots of Freds out there because the scam keeps on arriving and I particularly loved this version which I received yesterday, and which I am posting exactly as written for your edification and enjoyment.

DEAREST
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Sanogo. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of cote d ivoire during his days. I am in cote d ivoire for presently now due to the urgent transfer.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2004.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!My mother died when I was just 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2004 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of fifteen million,sevenhundred thousand United State Dollar(USD$15.700,000) left in fixed account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told him deposit that he deposited the money with my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer who he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank. I am just a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do now. I need an account oversea were I can transfer this funds and after the transaction i will come and live with .
