Subject: Dear brother,


Dear brother,
I know that my message will come to you as a surprise since I don垄t know you in person or met with you before, but I am of the believe that you would be obliged to come to my assistance after hearing about my situation.
I was, until recently, a Medical student of the University of Abidjan, Ivory Coast West Africa.I am the only child of late Mr Frederick Akanga. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast.

He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business last year. When my mother died on the October 1988, my father took me so special because I am motherless. Before the death of my father last year, in a private hospital here in
Abidjan.
He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of US$ 9,500,000 left in account in a bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name for the next of kin in deposit of the fund. He also explained to me that it is because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his
business associates.
1)I am honourably seeking your assistance to provide a bank account where this money will be transferred to.

2)You will serve as the guardian of this funds since I am a boy of 20 years.

3)You will make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money has been transferred to you.I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me
please indicate your interest. I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after this successful transfer of this fund to your nominated account overseas.

Finally if you have any question as regards this transaction, so that I will send you documents of this fund. Note that the confidentiality of this transaction would be highly appreciated in replying soonest.

Thanks and best regards.

you fell for this? sorry but there is nothing you can do, unless you find the people who scammed you. Yahoo isnt responsible.

Dude, anything that has says "Africa/Nigeria" and "please send money via untraceable and unrecoverable means" is automatically a scam. I don't think Yahoo can help you with that, and the best people to contact would be local law enforcement people, and your bank
