"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a orphan scam.

My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), he secretly called me and told me that he has the sum of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros (6.5 Million EUROS) left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). He told me that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip.

My father finally advised me before he died that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes to enable me leave this country immediately for my safety.

Please help me. Moreover, i am willing to offer you 30% of the total money as compensation for your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this money into your bank account.
