QUOTE
From Miss Sandra Benjamin
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.

(CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE)

Dear
Good thing to write you. I have a proposal for you.This however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Miss Sandra Benjamin, the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Benjamin. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a Cocoa Merchant, Diamond and Gold Dealer)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 2nd March 2005.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 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special.

Before his death on 2nd March 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Fourteen Million,Seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$14.7000) deposited in a bank here in my country.
He further told him that he deposited the fund with my name as the next of kin,and he registered the fund as family valuables and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession to handle all the necessary legal documents of the fund which he deposited in bank and he instructed the lawyer to hand over the doucments to me whenever I need it.

I am a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.
Now I want a foreign partner who will assist me to transfer this fund from the bank here to his personal account for a real investment popose..
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1.Can you kindly tell me the type of a profitable venture this fund will use to invest avoid waste of it.
2). Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
3). Can I completely trust you?
4). What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after you have collected this fund on my behalf?

Please,consider this and get back to me as soon as possible with your telephone number for oral disscussion and keep it highly confidential with yourself.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards
Miss Sandra Benjamin.
Please I want you to reply me through my privatate email adress (sandrabenjamin1@yahoo.com)

abubin, it's an african IP address. Short of reporting it to the ISP, there's nothing much you can do.

I've purged the PMs from the database. There were 42 of them.
