Business Proposal

Hello Dear,

I want to propose to you this assistance, which i will offer to you 25% after the transaction.

I am fair in complexion, I am about 5fit 7in tall, I love sport events, going outdoors activities, watching of moving, shopping, walking etc.In a nutshell, My name is Miss Fatoumata Saleeby 22 years old from the republic of Liberia in west Africa, now seeking for refugee in Dakar-Senegal under the (UNHCR).

I therefore write to inform you that I am the only surviving child and daughter of the deceased Dr. ELIE E. SALEEBY the former MINISTER OF FINANCE / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CENTRAL BANK OF LIBERIA in the year July 1997-Feb. 2003.
The reason for this correspondence is to formally request for mutual assistance on business relationship with you in order to benefit from your wealth of experience in business.

The secret fact therefore, is that my father kept the sum of US$4,700, 000.00 (Four million seven hundred thousand US Dollars) CASH. The money was deposited at Bank in here in Dakar Senegal.

The money is the share of proceeds from a deal executed with my father's colleagues in the hierarchy of membership of the LIBERIAN JOINT PUBLIC TENDER BOARD during a contract award to an Ukrainian - RUSSIA Diamond Extracting Company when my father was a chairman.

Due to the civil war caused by rebel leader Charles Taylor who has just been toppled by another rebel group and my father's status as a civil-servant bylaw in my country and the sensitivity of my father's position that attracts public attention, he cannot operate a Domiciliary account in order to keep this large sum of money in a bank in my country.

My father retired and died lately before he could withdraw this money here in and transfer it out of Africa. I anticipate to conclude arrangement to start this venture with you as quick as possible.

Due to my youthful age and also refugee here in senegal, decide to claim the money now with a foreign partner.

Upon your indicated interest, we will arrange for a meeting in the country of your choice when the money is moved from the Bank to your account and discuss in details the terms of agreement. I want to invest in any company that you suggest under your professional guidance.
Please include your private mobile telephone number in your reply for easy communication.

I earnestly await your urgent response as I expect you to treat this matter with required maturity, attention and committment.

with best regards
Fatoumata

I always wondered if anyone would fall for this sort of email.  Wouldn't you know Oprah had a show about it and how many people actually do. I was shocked.

HA! I just got another one!  This is a new twist on the old one!

Dear Friend,

My name is Sgt.Karren Rudy Jarrett, an American soldier, I was serving in

the military of the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. I am in United Kingdom at

the moment, I and my partner moved one of the boxes containing funds which

we believe is belonging to Saddam Hussein in March 2003, the total fund in

this box is $12,000,000.00 (Twelve million US dollars), this fund had been

moved via a safe Diplomatic Courier Service to a secured security company,

Click on this link to read about the event that took place which made us to

wait till this year before we can move and invest this fund for safety

reasons; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep

these funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you

can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account. We will

divide the total funds in three ways, since we are 3 that is involved. This

means that you will take 30 percent, I will take 30 percent, and my partner

will take 30 percent. 10 percent will be kept aside for expenses.

This business is confidential, and we plead that it should not be discussed

with anyone. We are contacting you for partnership because we cannot handle

such an amount of money due to our ethics in the Military.

There is no risk whatsoever involved as we left this fund in the Security

company without declaring it's contents for this period of time to make sure

that the fund will be safe for transfer and investment. If you are

interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good

partner that we can trust and will assist us. Please tell us how we can

trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying

your interest including your telephone/fax numbers for quick communication

and also your contact details. I assure you that this transaction is risk

free and its success is 100% guaranteed, I am doing this so that i can go

into business and resign from the military. Please help us to help you.

Please reply me via this email for security reasons:kjcog75@aim.com

Yours-in-service,

Sgt.Karren Rudy Jarrett

NOTE:If you do not wish to receive anymore e-mails from me, please respond

back to me with REMOVE in the subject line
