During the last regime here of General Robert Guei in Cote D' Ivoire some government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over Invoiced in various ministries. The government set up a contract review panel and we have Identified a lot of inflated contracts funds which are presently deposited in a bank here in Abidjan,Cote D' Ivoire .

However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this panel ,we cannot acquire this money in our name. I have therefore ,been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the total sum of USD$35,500,000.00 [Thirty five million, five hundred united states dollars].

Hence we are writing you this letter. We agreed to share the money thus:

Old scam been around for years.  These folks mine everything for email addresses.  Perhaps ActiveRain needs to reinforce its security to prevent further incursions.

Caryll, I received an email message identical to this through my myspace.com site.  It seems like they prey upon people in the lending business.  Unfortunately they are still around, they must have had some success with some perhaps naive people.  This is the world we live in!
Scary.
