DEAR Dear who???

PERMIT ME TO INFORM YOU OF MY DESIRE OF GOING INTO

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

I BELIEVEYOU ARE A AREPUTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE

TRUST WORTHY PERSON I CAN DO BUSINESS WITH AND BY

MATTER OF TRUST I MUST NOT HESITATE TO CONFIDE

IN YOU FOR THIS SIMPLE AND SINCERE BUSINESS. Thanks, sadly I don’t feel the same about you, besides how can you feel that way when you did not even put my name in the “Dear” field of your prefabbed letter?

I AM MISS MARY BENSON., THE ONLY CHILD OF LATE DR AND

MRS IDRIS BENSON, MY FATHER WAS A VERY WEALTHY COCOA

MERCHANT BASED IN ABIDJAN, THE ECONOMIC CAPITAL OF

IVORY COAST BEFORE HE WAS POISONED TO DEATH BY HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES ON ONE OF THEIR OUTING TO DISCUSS A BUSINESS DEAL. That’s too bad that he was poisoned to death.

WHEN MY MOTHER DIED ON THE 21ST OCTOBER 1984, MY FATHER TOOK ME SO SPECIAL BECAUSE I AM MOTHERLESS. BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER ON 24TH NOVEMBER 2000 IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL HERE IN ABIDJAN. Wait a sec, I thought poison was supposed to work fast?

HE SECRETLY CALLED ME ON HIS BEDSIDE AND TOLD ME THAT HE HAS A SUM OF US$10,000,000(TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) Thanks for the clarification, because although I am [sic] areputable and responsible trust worthy person that she can do business with, but I am a retard because I don’t know the difference between US $10,000,000 and TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS. I am glad that she clarified that because I would have been disappointed if it was monopoly money.

LEFT IN A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT IN A LOCAL BANK HERE IN ABIDJAN (oh the suspense!!), THAT HE USED MY NAME AS HIS ONLY CHILD AS THE NEXT OF KIN DURING THE TIME OF DEPOSITING OF THE FUND. Well that was convenient.

HE ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS WEALTH THAT HE WAS POISONED BY HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, So he was poisoned by his associates because he had US$10,000,000(TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). And there was no other motive in his death.

AND THAT I SHOULD SEEK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER IN A COUNTRY OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL TRANSFER THIS MONEY AND USE IT FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE ,(SUCH AS REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT). There is something even better than Real Estate Management, its called spam soliciting.

I AM HONOURABLY SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS.

1) TO PROVIDE A BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THIS MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERED

2) TO SERVE AS THE GUARDIAN OF THIS FUND.

3) TO MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR ME TO COME OVER TO YOUR

COUNTRY TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION AND TO SECURE A RESIDENTIAL PERMIT FOR ME IN YOUR COUNTRY.

1) Whats wrong with the bank account in Abidajan, if its in your name you should not have a problem with it there.

2) Oh yea, me guard US$10,000,000(TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) that will be the day.

3) You have US$10,000,000(TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS), surely you could apply for a visa and get in your self, unless your a terrorist.

This also brings up a side note, this is a message to all those Liberals out there who are ashamed of America and think that we are tarnishing our image, well if that is the case how come Miss Benson is trying to come here…

MOREOVER, I AM WILLING TO OFFER YOU 15% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS COMPENSATION FOR YOUR EFFORT /INPUT AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THIS FUND TO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT OVERSEA. Cool so your going to offer me US$1,500,000(ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS), I can handle that.

FURTHERMORE, YOU CAN INDICATE YOUR OPTION TOWARDS ASSISTING ME AS I BELIEVE THAT THIS TRANSACTION WOULD BE CONCLUDED WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS YOU SIGNIFY INTEREST TO ASSIST ME. ANTICIPATING HEARING FROM YOU IMMEDIATELY. THANKS AND GOD BLESS. BEST REGARDS. MISS MARY BENSON

Well Mary, I don’t think your legit, but if you are and your story is true. I am deeply saddened by your loss, but since I know its not true, you should just keep your US$10,000,000(TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) and figure out a better way to spend it.
