Check out this email I got. Very strange. The title of the email is:
I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Saver,
Thanks for your mail that came to hand.I do appreciate
your friendly effort,like I said in my first mail to
you that I have an important thing to share with
you,this is the assistance I need from you and I will
be very grateful if you can render the assistance
in the name of the almighty God.
This urgent and important business proposal may
undoutly reach you as a surprise because of the
extent to which the prevailing dishonest business
climate world over,especially our part of the world
enviroment has introduced the element of skepticsm
and suspicion in genuine international business
relation. However,I forward this letter with trust and
confidence.
I am the first daughter of Mr George Tope, the leader
of Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Great Rebel
grouP of Sierra Leone in West Africa, who is now in
detention for his Anti-Government roles. I was born to
him by a Liberian Woman out of wed lock.I have some
fund given to my mother by my father to take care of
me and my mother,incase of any unforseen circumstances
because of my father opposition to the government.
The money is (Ten million US Dollars) $10m US. D
which was kept in a security vault in Abidjan,Ivory
Coast, a neigbouring country in West Africa. I am in
Abidjan in a refugee camp because of the situation of
things in my country. I have made all the necessary
arrangement at my end awaiting your consent and
readiness to assist for onward transfer of the
money to your country.
A percentage will be worked and agreed upon between us
by a legal adviser as your own for the assistant you
are about to render. While my own share will be
invested in a profitable business venture and real
estate in your country under your management, Because
it is not advisable for me to invest the money in the
West African region. I will prefer to invest the money
in a viable and peaceful Economy , hence your
assistance is needed.
Your name or company name will not be compromise in
any form because I have taken time to carefully
arrange a hitch-free transaction with no risk whatever
on your part with my name and position in view. I
appeal to you to treat this proposal with the
strictest confidentiality it deserves, while
anticipating a fruitful business relationship. You are
free to reach me through my E-mail address.
God bless.
Jennifer Tope(Miss.)
Pretty strange, eh? What the hell does this mean?
