Dear VICTIMNAME ,
I am very happy reading from you, as a child of God and someone that come from reputable family i can not lier to you just trust and have confidence on me God will do others for us, i want you to help me out because I cannot be able to carry out this transfer on my own due to the situation and conduction here as a refugee. The last I contact the Investors Firm they told me that they cannot deal directly with me in this transfer due to my conduction and status here so they advice me to nominate or present any person of my wish who can and will be able to stand on my behalf and make the transfer. My dear i have the documents of this money and the information’s needed so i hope you will stand for me in making this transfer.
I will give you the bank contact so that you can go ahead and contact them on my behalf and tell them that you are standing for me as the next of kin . I hope they will answer you and reply back to you also and then you can let me know what they say, and if they ask for any of the documents of the money then i will provide them to you .
This money is my hope now after every other thing has being destroyed and seized in my country and please you are to keep it secret because i do not want to loose this money to any government or to any individual and even loose my life as this money is deposited by my late father. My dear it is better that we pay any charge from the money when transferred, than me loosing the money entirely. When you contact the bank then we will know what they will say on how to transfer the money to your country, pending my arrival to meet with you immediately.
Dear you can make this transfer and then we will meet as soon as the money is transfer because you will send me some money from there to come over.I will like to have your address, and fax. My dear i do not have phone number of my own but you can be writing me an email untill i present a number where you can be reaching me any time you like.
Please I keep it a secret as my country officials or the government should not know about this money because if they find out now they will surely call the money back and take it from me and even loose my life.
So please I need your fast response now so that i can give you the bank contact for you to contact them.
Yours Sandra.

I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($5000) in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?
