    "From Alice Christophe

    Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
    relationship
    with you.

    I am the only child of late Dr and Mrs Tonye Christophe.

    My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the
    economic
    capital of Cote D'Ivoire before he was poisoned to death by his
    business
    associates on one of their outing to discuss a business deal.

    When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me so
    special
    because I am moteherless.

    Before the death of my father on 24th November 2003 in a private
    hospital in
    Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that during
    the
    war in my country, he moved the sum of US$11,600,000 (Eleven Million
    Six
    Hundred thousand United States Dollars) and deposited with a security
    company abroad.

    Before his death, his last words was that I sould move to Ghana where
    his
    enemis will not know my where about then from Ghana that I must find
    any
    possible means of moving out and naturalize in a foreign country where
    I can
    put up solid investment with the money so that I will not lack anything
    as
    his only daughter.

    Now, I am staying here in a village in Kumasi Ghana with a teacher and
    his
    family of 4. Though they are poor but caring.

    My father's desire is that I seek for a foreign partner outside Africa
    where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes,
    (Such
    as Real Estate management).

    To fulfil my father's dream for me by moving out of my country, I am
    honourably seeking your assistance in the following way:

    (1) To serve as the guardian of this fund

    (2) assist me in putting this sum of money in safe keeping by accepting
    to
    receive it from the security company with a letter of authority from
    me.

    (3) to make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
    my
    education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.

    Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as
    compensation for
    your efforts/input after the successful conclusion of this transaction.

    Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I
    believe
    that this transaction would be concluded within a few days you signify
    interest to assist me.

    Anticipating hearing from you immediately. Thanks and God bless you.

    Alice"

    Absolutely. Take 10% up front to ensure that proper management can be insured and as a gesture of good faith, God willing (haha). See what happens.

    i get 'em all the time at my werk email address as it's plastered across dozens of geek and map help boards.

    me and another guy usually have bets as to who can guess to the closest MILLION US DOLLARS ONLY they have stashed away.
