Dear One,


It is my pleaure to intimate you of my Inner-Most heart desire in going into Business Relationship with you depite the fact we have not seen face to face. I got your Name/Contact through my search in your country for trust worthy Individual via the Internet through the Google Web service.

I am Stella Kona. 24 years old and the only Daugther of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Banny C. Kona. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)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 year 12th.Febuary 2003.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 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Eight million,Two hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$8.200,000.00) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading Banks in Africa. He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank.

I am just 24 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. 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 to enable me continue my education in your country.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as your Daugther?
2. Can I completely trust you?

3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible for futher details through my private Email Address at [email protected]
Thank you so much.

My sincere regards and God Bless you.
Stella Kona.

I can't help her out, because I will just steal the money. But maybe one of you good people can.

The so-called "419" scam (aka "Nigeria scam" or "West African" scam) is a type of fraud named after an article of the Nigerian penal code under which it is prosecuted.

Typically, victims of the scam are promised a lottery win (example) or a large sum of money sitting in a bank account or in a deposit box at a security company. Often the storyline involves a family member of a former member of government of an African country, a ministerial official, an orphan or widow of a rich businessman, etc. Here is an example. Variants of the plot involving the Philippines, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Mauritius, etc. are also known. Some emails include pictures of boxes stuffed with dollar bills, scans of fake passports, bank or government documents and pictures of supposedly the sender.

Though most of these scams use emails sent in English, we also come across emails translated into French, German, Italian or Spanish, as well as English and French letters by postal mail, usually mailed from Spain.

Back in the 1980s (for this is nothing new!) the main vehicle for this scam were fax machines.

The victims are promised a fortune for providing a bank account to transfer the money to. Then - if they fall for the scam - they are made to part with thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in "bribes" for local officials or other "fees" (taxes, insurance, legal fees, etc) before the "partners" finally disappear without trace. Here are some typical examples of advance fee demands.

Sometimes fraudulent cashier's checks are issued to the victims, who are asked to wire funds for various charges after the bank says funds are "available" from the check, but before the check has actually cleared.
