Dear Chosen partner,

I know this proposal letter may come to you as a surprise considering the fact that we have not had any formal acquaintance before, but all the same I would want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in view of the fact that the security of my live and possession is at stake .

I am Mrs Rebecca Hamson from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE but presently domiciled in Abidjan Ivory coast with my two sons .My Husband Mr RICHARD HAMSON who before his untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation LDC) .He was killed in our government residential house along side two of my other children ,two house maids and one government attached security guard, fortunately for I, and my two sons,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 .

As we were coming into this country ,we had some documents of a deposit of $15 500 000 USD (fifteen million five hundred thousand USD ) made by my late Husband in asecurity company here.

According to my Husband, he intended to use this fund for his international business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately murdered .I had located the bank where the money is deposited with the help of an attorney 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 ,we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours Hence this proposal and request .We therefore wish you can help me in the following.

regards :

1) To help us open some account in our names to transfer the money into .

2) To help me invest the money into a lucrative business .

3) To assist my two sons (WISDOM AND HENRY)get a college admission to further their 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 .

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 I am still conscious of my Husband's enemies .I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach .

Remain Blessed as you come up to help a widow like me.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Rebecca Hamson.

Nb: I would like you to treat the transaction strictly confidential for security reason ."

They offer you a % of the money that supposedly needs transferring cept there ends up being a hitch. They need $750 to pay a lawyer to get the process started. Oops, now they need $435 for a bank tariff fee. Something has come up and they want $560 to bribe so and so. etc etc

But this is a new scam, right? People are falling for it because they've yet to catch on?

Wrong. Very, very wrong.

The Nigerian Scam has been emptying the pockets of victims for decades ? first through letters, then with faxes, and now via e-mail. In its earliest incarnation ? which dates to the 1920s ? it was known as 'The Spanish Prisoner' con.

This has been beaten to death so many times that there is a resurrection coming.
