    recommendation , I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere

    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 2004 in a private
    hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me
    that he has the sum of Ten million,five hundred thousand United State
    Dollars. USD ($10,500,000.00) 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.

    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

    Sounds too far-fetched. Like a story... he should have mentioned that he was the secret king of a small island in the middle of the Pacific ocean that was being ruled by cannibal inhabitants that had banished him to the top of a volcano in somewhere-somewhere...and that he was currently writing to you on his lap-top..

    Okay, cut the sarcasm... it just sounds weird, I wouldn't fall for it, at all.
