Dearest One,
I am Mr DIVINE UDO from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE but presently domiciled in Abidjan Ivory coast. My father MATHEW UDO who before his untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation (SLDC). He was killed in our government residential house along side two of my other brothers, two house maids and one government attached security guard fortunately for I, younger sister and mother,we were on a week end visit to our home town As we got the news of the tragedy. We immediately managed to ran into neighbouring Ivory coast for refuge.
But unfortunately. As Fate would have it,we lost our dear mother (may soul rest in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.
As we were coming into this country ,i had some documents of a deposit of $ 10,500.000 USD (TEN Eight million Five hundred thousand USD ) made by my late father in a Finance House . According to my father, He said that he deposited One Trunk Box in a Security Company in EUROPE and declare it as family Valuable, He intended to use this fund for his international business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately murdered.
I had located the security company on Europe where the money is deposited and established ownership. please right now, with the bitter experiences we had in our country and the war still going on especially in diamond area which incidentally is where we hail from .Coupled with the incessant political upheavals and hostilities in this country Ivory coast, I desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of my life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours Hence this proposal and request.
I therefore wish you can help me in the following regards :
1)To help me invest the money into a lucrative business .
2) To assist me get a college admission to further my education.
Please I know that,this letter may sound strange and incredible to you but the CNN and the BBC African bulletin normally have it as their major news features .Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an immediate positive consideration and reply to me via my e-mail address. I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of the money you will propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above .please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still conscious of our father's enemies. I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach .
Thanks for your kind Attention and and mutual understanding.
Best Regards.
Mr Divine Udo

I've had 2 emails from him. Perhaps he's found some divine method for mailing everyone?

Or maybe it's just us high posters that he's after.

The thing that always amazes me about these emails is the belief that they have to spell out the amount in words to make sure people notice how much money is on offer.

Mind you, in this case there's obviously a bit of inflation going on:

$ 10,500.000 USD (TEN Eight million Five hundred thousand USD )

I guess eight million wasn't enough.

Nope, I got one too.
I'm afraid i can't help him though as I am already in the process of helping the Nigerian embassy in a similar way. Another transaction like this may begin to look suspicious and I don't want anyone sniffing around my account details.

I got one, went straight to junk though. Poor little Nigerian man, such an awful plight for his family, some of them lived through it and are stuck living with him.

now I'm a converted iPhone owner I have been listening to lots of podcasts and one business one I was listening to the other day is related to our friend. It was about Internet cafes in nigeria that are funded by uk and USA aid programmes and they were interviewing the cafe manager of one with over 200 pcs all of which were used 24/7. She was asked about what people were doing on the pcs and if it was related to scam emails, she openly admitted that the vast majority in the cafe were taking part in scams. She then went on to say that she considered that people in the uk deserved to loose money as if they sent it then they could afford to loose it.

Nice to know our taxes are being well spent!

Received 2 of his emails yesterday. When I saw it was from someone at the community I was bracing myself for "how do I add an additional box in the right hand column" ... but no ..... It was someone offering me free money. As I am soon to be a multi-millionaire this will be my last post. So long suckers :p
