My dear,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am COLLINS OGA,23years old and the only Son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. OGA. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2000.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death   on Febuary 12 2000 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Six million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$6.700,000) left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa.


He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank.

I am just 23 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highlyregarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Son? 
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question   
will be good for you after the money is in your
account?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.

My sincere regards,

COLLINS OGA

Shehu Abdul

Emirates Hospital

Jumeirah Beach Road

Dubai - U.A.E

Dear Friend,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have

not yet met.  I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail.

I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i

decided to contact you through this medium .As you  read this, I don't

want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone   will die

someday.

My name is  Shehu Abdul, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been

diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very

late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form

of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live

according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well,

as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to

people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared

for. But now I regret all this as I now know  that  there is more to

life than just wanting to   have or make all the money in the world. I

believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would

live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my

time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets

to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close

friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity

organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on

earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations

in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so

badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my

family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I

have there to charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept

the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they

seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my

money which is the   huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm

Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched

it to charity organizations and let  them know that it is I Shehu Abdul

that is making this generous donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I

wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist

me with good heart

God be with you(Masallam).

Shehu Abdul

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until

the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize

my last wish. and Also I

will be contacting with you by email as I don’t want anybody to know

because they are always around me.

Don't have any spam in neither of my 3 accounts..

but check and see if you went on any Voila.Fr ( as the email comes from ) did you register anywhere on a site hosted by Voila?

maybe don't post your e-mail address in places like shoutboxes.

Lol its all good with Gmail but just to clear it, these are in GMail lol. only one was in Hotmail. I don't give out my GMail account aswell. I put my hotmail account in everything but Gmail I only give to my freinds and so far only a few of them.

I do exacly the oposite thing.. i use my Gmail for everything.. if some spam arrives who cares theres a gb free .. and my hotmail not.. actually i dont get spam in my hotmail coz i never give out my mail in public or something.. maybe thats why you receive that mail.. some sites send mails from random servers and that kind of things

i need to use gmail more but i already have hotmail for everything else, so all my important emails go to there,

i have had no spam tho, but thats cos i dont giv eit out

i havent got any of them just get spam from shops i've bought things from
