APPEAL FOR HELP

DEAR PLEASE FOR SECURITY REASONS CONTACT ME THROUGH MY
EMAIL:[e-mail]

permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you , l got your name and contact through the help of a friend
who works in internet here in Abidjan and I prayed over it and selected
your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the
recommendation by the director for a reputable and trustworthy person l can do
business with and by the recommendation l must not hesitate to confid
in you for this simple and sincere business.

l am MISS STELLA AMAH, the only daughter of late mr and mrs BONI AMAH
.My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the
economic capital of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business
associates on one of their outings on business.

My mother died on the 20th october 1988 and my father took me so
special because l am motherless.Before the death of my father on 29th
november 2005 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on
his bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why?

(1) he conplained that I am too young to be managing my life,

(2)that I have not finished my university education as he planned for
me,

(3)no body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much
crying, he still passed an instruction to me that he has a sum of
US$9.500.000.(NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in
a fixed/suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan,
that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit
of the funds.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
posisoned by his business associates , that l should seek for a God
fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer
this money and use it for proper investment purpose ,that I must finish
my university education by the help of a business partner abroad,that he
or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country.

He also gave an out standing instrution to the bank that the money must
be transfered outside this country before use, this is to make sure
that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies
will not get at me.

Sir, I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is
no more.

Sir l am honourable seeking your assistance in the following ways.

( 1) to provide a bank account into which this money will be transfered
to.

(2) to serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will depend on your

Answer 1

Go for it, I had rich relatives die in Africa this week that left me a total of 163 million.

Answer 2

STELLA AMAH! STELLA AMAH!! STELLA AMAH!!!. That sounds interesting but it is only a way to know about your bank details so that you can duped. She doesnt need your help if she has such amount of money in father's account. Just mark it as spam and it will never come back again. One of my sisters spent all she had because of these kind mails so do just what I wrote to you.

Answer 3

These Emails are usually sent from countries that dont have the same laws as yours, and your countries laws cant touch them overseas. Personally delete it, and I would report it to yahoo as well. Anyone with that sort of money wouldnt be sending emails out like that to anyone unless it was a scam. Oh and by the way after doing a quick internet search she also goes by the first name of Prisca. http://www.ambitiousindians.com/ShowPost.aspx?ThreadId=2118

Not quite the same but enough similarities, but her parents where killed by the rebels. Get the drift.

Answer 4

Get rid of it. It is a variation on a very common scam. Generally the e-mail comes from a "business man" who has an opportunity to steal a large some of money with your cooperation.

In any format, all they want is your account info.

Answer 5

First I will contact an Embassy.. where I can verify the name and the existence of such person... then I would open an account in a Bank... with the help of police..and so on... and Then see what happen.. of course don't give her your real and personal datas.... BE CAREFUL ..but NOT TO BE SO UNTRUSTFUL.

Answer 6

Add it to your spam mail listing and delete it immediately. That is such a popular scam these days. I've seen HUNDREDS just like it. Trust me, if someone had 9.5 million or billion or whatever dollars, they wouldn't need your help.

P.S. From what I understand, they want your bank account number or something like it to "send" you the money.

Answer 7

PLEASE listen to me. There were several people in the neighborhood that I used to live in that got these. They even published one in the newspaper to warn everyone. It is a ripe off, somehow that person is trying to ripe you off. You need to call the police and let them know about this. Just incase there are any old people that live near by that might get the same thing and fall for it. That way they can let the community know that the letters are coming and to throw them away. PLEASE GO TO THE POLICE WITH THIS

Answer 8

It's a scam. Millions of people are contacted daily in hopes a few suckers will bite on the bait. Toss it out and be glad you did.

Answer 9

spam i get the same letter at least 10 times a week each time its from a differt name same crap who in there right mind thinks that crap is true its a scam then they ask you for your bank acct info then they take your money big scam saw it on 20/20.

Answer 10

This is a mail scam and you can actually take action through the attorney general for your state contact them and make them aware of this.
