ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
UNITED NATIONS REFUGEE CAMP
FROM : MISS BENIGINA AHMED.

ATTN:

DEAR BELOVED IN THE LORD, PERMIT ME HERE TO INTRODUCE MY SELF TO YOU. I
AM BENIGINA AHMED (MILK MAIDEN)AND A YOUNG GIRL. THE ONLY DAUGHTER AND
CHILD OF (MR DAVID AHMED) A FULANI CATTLE HEADS MAN (A NOMADIC) AND A
TRADITIONAL HUNTER FROM THE MBOROJIEE TRIBES OF MANGALA IN SIERRA
LIONE.

WHEN MY FATHER WAS ALIFE HE WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND A WIDELY KNOWN FARMER
IN THIS PART OF THE REGION. HE WAS A RESPECTED FARMER WITH SPECIALITY
IN CATTLE FARMS AND VARIOUS OTHER AGRICULTURAL AND HUNTING PRODUCTS LIKE
THE HIDES AND SKINS FROM KILLED ANIMALS. UPON THIS ACHEIVEMENTS HE WAS
HUMBLE AND DUE TO HIS HUMILITY NOBODY KNEW OFHIS WEALTH.

MY LATE FATHER HAD MADE HIS WEALTH THROUGH HARD WORK THOUGH HIS CATTLES
WHICH HE REARED FROM PLACE TO PLACE AS A CATTEL HEADS MAN FROM THE LIVE
STOCK CAMPS NEARER OUR VILLAGE. THE SALE OF THESE CATTLES FROM HIS
FLOKS TO RICH CATTLE MERCHANTS WHOM TRADED ON CATTLES FROM COUNTRY TO
COUNTRY THROUGH THE WEST AFRICAN SUB REGION BROUGHT MY FATHER WEALTH, WHICH
WAS USED TO MEASURE HIS SOCIAL STANDARDS IN THE PASTURIST AFRICA.
HOWEVER DUE TO THE BOOMING OF MY LATE FATHERS CATTLE TRADE AND THE WEALTH HE
MADE FROM IT THROUGH HARD WORK HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE ALOT OF MONEY AND
ALSO THROUGH WHICH HE SENT ME TO SCHOOL, SINCE HE NEVER GOT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SCHOOL TO AQUIRE THE WHITEMANS WISDOM(EDUCATION)BEFORE HE
WAS KILLED BY HIS FELLOW NOMADIC CATTLE HEADS MAN DURING A CATTLE RAID
BY TRIBAL ENEMIES DUE TO ENVEY.

WHEN MY MOTHER DIED ON THE 21ST OCTOBER 2002. MY FATHER TOOK ME SO
SPECIAL BECAUSE I WAS MOTHERLESS AND NEEDED MOTHERLY CARE. I HAD DONE
EVERYTHING AT MY DISPOSAL TO SAVE MY FATHERS LIFE SINCE HE WAS THE ONLY
PARENT I HAD BUT UNFORTUNATELY FATE HAD ITS WAY .

FINALLY BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER ON 10TH OF FEBUARY 2003 IN OUR
VILLAGE IN OUAGADUGU.THE REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LIONE.HE SECRETLY CALLED ME
ON BEDSIDE HIS HOSPITAL BED AND SAID I QUOTE "MY DAUGHTER I HAVE THE SUM
OF US$1.600.000 (ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THAUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) WHICH DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN ABIDJAN.
HE HAD INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY DEPOSITED THE METALIC TRUNK
BOX THAT CONTAINS THE MONEY IN A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY IN ABIDJAN ON
THE 4TH OF JANUARY 2000 . UPON MY ARRIVAL IN ABIDJAN WHERE I
SUCCESSFULLY CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO INFORM THEM OF MY INTENTIONS T O TRANSFER
THE METALIC TRUNK BOX WHICH IS DEPOSITED BY MY LATE FATHER TO A FORIEGN
BENEFICARY THAT I WILL TRUST WORTYHY AND FATHERLY WHOM WILL HELP ME
MANAGE THIS MONEY TO COMPLETE MY EDUCATION WHICH HAS BEEN MY WISH AND THE
WISH OF MY FATHER.

HE ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS WEALTH THAT HE WAS
POISONED BY HIS COLEAGUES AND THAT I SHOULD LEAVE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THAT I SHOULD SEEK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER IN
A COUNTRY OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL TRANSFER THIS MONEY AND USE IT
COMPLETELY FOR MY EDUCATION AND ALSO TO INVEST FOR MY FAMILY TO BE ABLE TO
KEEP HIS NAME SINCE HE WILL NOT BE AROUND TO SHOW ME THE WAY ANY MORE
AND TO GUIDE ME.

DEAREST ONE,IN THIS RESPECT I AM HONOURABLY SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN
THE FOLLOWING WAYS :

TO PROVIDE A BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THIS MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERED

TO SERVE AS THE GUARDIAN OF THIS FUND SINCE I AM STILL UNDERAGED (A
YOUNG G IRL)AND TO MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR ME TO COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY

You should donate your computer to them. Then they will sell it on ebay. And then you will cry.

[Jason425]

I got the same PM...It even sounds stupid when you read it, send $$ and I'll give you 10%....I wish they'd get arrested....

[Jason425]

yea.. and it's way old school.. same one been around for several months.. think they'd make a new one or something..

Yeah right, not everybody knows about that, so they may be able to scam some more ppl unknowingly so that they can make up another one in the next few weeks.

oh gawd i got that too.... i was like "huh this cannot be for real" *rolling eyes*
