Dearest One
I am very sorry to bother you with my plight. Please know that it’s not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God.
After searching for someone I can lay my plight to, I’ve finally come with you after prayers to God. My name is Jennifer Morgan, from Liberia.
I am 20years. My father and I escaped from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and two of my senior sisters in the war. They were raped and shot.
My father established his cocoa business in Kumasi, Ghana. He was in ACCRA, to negotiate for the purchase a field when he was involved in an auto crash. There is a big problem here and the people here hate foreigners. He was hospitalised before he finally gave up on the 24th of March .His death has now made me an orphan and I am exposed to danger.
As I write, foreigners are attacked on daily basis.
Before the unfortunate sudden death, my father called me to his side and told me he have a total sum of 8.45 million dollars deposited in a bank here in Accra.
He said he used me his only surviving child as his next of kin to the deposite and incase he
fails to make it that I should take care of myself and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the papers with me here.
I have confirm from the bank all the papers he gave me on the deposit. I asked them to give me the money but they showed me the paper my dad signed with them that I must be 25 years old before they can hand over the money to me personally.
They said I should send them my birth certificate which I did and they told me that am still under the age my dad signed with them.
They told me that my dad made a provision that my guardian can manage the money on my behalf. Please this is where I need you pleased. I am suffering here without money and since he died, I have not gone to school again while there is money lying in there.
I have tried to locate any of my family but all to no avail and this is why I have decided to get one for my self to assist me in getting the money out.
I will do all you want from me provided it’s within my reach and the will of God.
I trust you because I trust God never to lead me astray. Please help me.
I have just told them that my guardaian will contact them because I don’t want them to take advantage of me that i have no guardian.
I want you to stand for me as my guardian and contact the bank. Tell them you are my guardian and because of the crisis here, you want me to be with you where you can better take care of me. Tell them to atransfer the money to you immediately. Please help save my life please. I have no more money here and feeding is a big problem to me now. Please I trust you because I trust God. Again, As soon as the money has been transfered, to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence inorder for me to continue my education and to invest the fund in a viable business there.
This money can take care of me there without any problem and please I need you to manage the fund for me, as this is my last hope in life. I am ready to do anything you want provided you help me.
You can Have 20 percent of the money if you help me. If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail through my e-mail account:jenny.is.mummydaughter@gmail.com) so that I can know you more.
Please send me your photo and your telephone number please.
Hope To read from you soon

You are listed and approved for this payment as one of the scammed victims.
Because The World Bank have listed Nigeria as the most corrupt country in the world, and majority of these scam artists are from the country, Nigeria provided over 80% of the compensation fund through crude oil. Therefore payments are made to identify victims through the most reliable International Bank in Nigeria under the funding assistance of the World Bank and United Nations Organization. Since the commencement of this program in April 2009, 53 Beneficiaries has been paid, remaining 47 scam victims to be paid. United States/United Kingdom Foundation (USUKF) is the Independent Monitoring Agency.

Yet another sad story from the Ivory Coast…
From: <monica_h203@yahoo.co.jp>
Why a Yahoo Japan email address?
Date: Sat, 9 May 2009 19:35:56 +0900 (JST)
Subject: Working for God.
Dearest in Christ,
With due respect and humanity, i wish to contact you under a humanitarian ground.
I am Mrs Monica Williams, was born in Baltimore, Maryland in America. I got married to Mr. Jean Claude Williams, Director J.C Industries Cote d’Ivoire. We were married for 36 years with a female child who is 16 years now. Unfortunately, My husband died in 2006 after a cardiac arteries operation.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have a precised time to live due to my stroke and cancer sickness(cancer of the liver).
For someone claiming to be from the USA, your writing is somewhat odd…
Before my husband died, there is this sum of Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5.500.000) which he deposited with a Private Finance Company here In Ivory Coast. Presently, this money is still in the custody of the Security Company.
I want a God fearing one who will use this fund according to the desire of my late husband, that is for the sound upbringing of our only daughter in a Godly way. I am still in the hospital while my daughter is in the Refugee camp. Please my dear, your urgent feedback will be needed to save the
life of my only child because of the ongoing political war here in our country.
I am not afraid of death since i believe in ressurection and hope inheriting the kingdom of God. I will like you to always remember me in your daily prayers since my cancer surgery comes up soon.
I am not afraid of death since i believe in ressurection and hope inheriting the kingdom of God. I guessing you’re more likely to find yourself in Hell.
Looking forward to read from you soon.
God bless you,
Mrs Monica Williams.
At least his email appears to actually originate in Côte d’Ivoire…
It's the land of DONNY AND MARIE as promised in TV GUIDE!
