APPEAL FOR BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you. I got your name and contact from our country chambers of

can do business with and by the recommendation , I
must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple
and sincere business .

I am jacob david only son of late Mr. and Mrs. david Morgan . My father
was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of
Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates
on one of their outings on a business trip .

My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so
special. Before the death of my father on october 2006 in a private
hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me
that he has the sum of Six million,five hundred thousand United State
Dollars. USD ($6,500,000.00) left in fixed / suspense account in one of
the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only son
for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me
that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business
associates. 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.
Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money
would be transferred to.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education and to secure a
resident permit in your country.

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 into
your nominated account overseas.

Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days
you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon.

Thanks and God bless.

Best regards,
Mr jacob david.

I got the same email today and meant to add a post to the forum about it.  It's definitely a fraud - I've seen similar scams before.

I occasionally get these types of scams through e-mail. They all have the same basic story line, and most are purportedly from some deceased wealthy African businessman's family member, lawyer or associate. It is very disturbing to me that these charlatans are now using forums like ours to attempt their scams.

I'm sure that most people have seen these scams, but in case anyone has not, these types of e-mails are ALL frauds, scams, junk, garbage and trash regardless of where they are said to originate from! Delete them immediately from your e-mail and block the sender. Don't even respond, and certainly do NOT send any information or money to these con men. I wish I knew how to physically track down a few of these bottom-feeders . ~Jim
