Fraud.

One out of five!

From: Mariam Komo
Abidjan, Cte d'Ivoire
West Africa.

Dear One,

Please permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact, I prayed over it and choose you to be my guardian and trustee. I know my email will come to you as a surprise, don't worry I was totally convinced to write you in reference of the transfer of my late father's money US$10.5M to your account for onward investment on (Hotel / hospital and industries) in your country.

I am Mariam komo, the only daugther of the former Late General Richard komo, of Cote d'ivoire. My late Father was killed last two years following his role as a rebel leader against the government of Cote d'ivoire. Following this political crisis,I was forced to leave our village to Abidjan the capital city of Cote d'Ivoire for my life sake. my father deposited this said money in a prime bank here in Abidjan and used my name as the only daugther as the next of kin. and told me to seek for a foriegn partner overseas that will help me for investment of this money into his country.

I got to know about this information and as well able to recover all the relevant documents regards to this deposit through his foreign adviser here in Abidjan. If you are truly disposed to assist me in transferring of this fund kindly, I am willing to offer you 15% of this money for your effort made during this transaction, information about the transfering of this money legally follows immediately after your positive reply.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.

Best regards

Miss Mariam komo.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
