Dear sir,
I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence with you. My getting your address is the handwork of the almighty god. Since then, I have been very much hopeful that you will help us irrespective of the fact that the present world is full of dishonesty and distrust. First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval considering the facts we have not known each other before; I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.
I am (Mr. Patrick Addo) from Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform you my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country. I am the first son of Mr. Weah Addo; my father was a diamond/gold merchant in my country.
on and on and on...
A truly funny way to wake up this morning! Have a fine day,
-Jon
blah..."Your help urgently for both SAFE KEEPING and
INVESTING this money in your country. You are one of the
three email contacts given to me by a Cyber Cafe' operator
on my request for a foreign contact."...and so on...
One of only three! - I felt very privileged - and, needless to say, got straight back to him with my bank details...
