AVENUE 21 RUE 13 BARREE COCODY
ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST

Dear,
Greeting's,
During the heat of the civil war in my country -Cote D'Ivoire ,
Many top government officials and senior army officers were selected and assassinated including my father who was a key target because of his very sensitive military position and appointment in my country.
Regreatably, my father late General Leopold Alexander was then captured and murdered along with his half brother in cold-blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence in Abidjan was ambushed by the notorious rebel leader.

My name is Miss Nowell Alexander the only surviving Daughter" of the above named Late General Leopold Alexander a former military chieftain and then acting General co-ordinator of the Cote D'Ivoire Cocoa cooperation. I am contacting you to seek your kind assistance to transfer and invest US$8.5 million belonging to my late father which he deposited in a security company here in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid minerals and Cocoa sales which were made during my father's tenure immediately before the out-break of hostilities in my country.

Now I am alone as an orphan in country without parents,
relatives or any body to care for me at this tender age.
If you are willing to assist me, please let me know immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the security company,I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you would also get a school for me, so that i can finish my education.

Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account because of the political crises they are having in Ctte d'Ivoire now.I am hoping to hear your urgent response

Thank you and may God bless you .

Yours sincerely

Miss Nowell Alexander

What tender age? She never says how old she is.

I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you would also get a school for me, so that i can finish my education.

I tell you what, little scammer. You send me the money. I will place it all in a matrix/ponzi scheme. In 90 days it will tripple. I will send you the money, and you will have enough. If you don't hear from me in 90 days, don't worry, it is just some minor problem, that will take maybe 300 days. Then maybe 950 days, but rest assured that I will contact you when the investment is done. Just whatever you do, don't contact me, as it will make the time go longer.

Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account because of the political crises they are having in Ctte d'Ivoire now.I am hoping to hear your urgent response

Send me a check. Write it out to CASH!!!

That's an interesting idea... Someone should think of a way to involve each scammer's money in another scheme, and at the end of the day have all of them tell each other that they have to wait for "escrow", "cycle times", "12 more days", "until the investigation ends", and a litany of other reasons for why they can't pay.
