Dearest

I am Miss Karen brown 19 years of age from Abidjan , Republic of Cote D'Ivoire,I must apologize for my using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium, My father is Dr. Brown Diby. A minister under former president He died in crisis between the rebels and government and before his death he told me about a fund he deposited in a bank here in abidjan which he inherited from major contracts he secure during his regime is valid $1.300.000M.ONE MILLON,THREE HUNDERED THOUSAND DOLLARS.


Your urgent assistance is needed for the claiming of the money and investing it hence your importance in the whole transaction. Should you be willing to assist in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 20% of the $1.300.000 million. 80% for me.



I am looking forward to hear from you and thanks for your understanding .


Regards
Ms Karen Brown

They obviously have come to reason that less is more.

The romance scammers are more fun though - much more engaging.

I've got some great msn conversations with them. In one conversation you can almost hear his head hitting the desk in frustration at my rank stupidity and trying to explain something to me and just when he thinks I've got it, I go and screw it up again.
