Attn:President/Director

CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Sir,

I am miss jennifer okoba the dougther of late former
Director

of finance,Chief Willson okoba Sierra-Leone diamond
and mining corporation.

I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is
my bond, in this proposal. My late father diverted
this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my
country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my

country, now he has deposited the money with a Bank
here in Abidjan, where I am residing under political
asylum with my brother.

Now the war in my country is over with the help of
ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra
Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who
served under the former regime and now ask countries
to expel such person at the same time freeze their
account and confiscate their asset, it is on this note

that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars:

1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number.

For you to assist me transfer this money in your
private bank account, the said amount is (twenty
seveen Million Dollars) $27 Million. I am compensating

you with 10 % of the total money amount, now all my
hope is banked on you and I really wants to invest
this money in your country, were their is stability of

Government, political and economic welfare.

Honestly I want you to believe this transaction
is real.My late father Chief Willson okoba gave me
the photocopies of the certificate of deposit issued
to him by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to
be clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody

I see, I believe that you are able to keep this
transaction secret for me because this money is the
hope of my life, it is important.

Please call me immediately after you must have gone
through my message fill free and make it urgent.
That is the reason why I offered you 10 % of the total

amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses
you might incur during this transaction.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue
chip investment opportunities which is risky free
which I can invest with this money when it is
transferred to your account,personally I am interested

in estate management and hotel business, please advise

me.mail me back immediately you receive this message
for more explanation.And promise me and my brother
to be a father/mother considering our
situation and not to betray us.

NB: my late father used me the dougther as the
beneficiary / next of kin on the day of deposit and
also told me I need a foreign assistance of a
foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who
will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad.

Thanks and God bless

Best regards
miss jennifer okoba.

Could you set up a bank account that you have no intention of using then give them those details? What are the legal ramifications???

I would give 'em any kind of details, they could still get the account well overdrawn or in debt and if you set it up you'd probably be held responsible:D

Go to a cash point and request an amount that cannot be given in 2 notes (ATM's don't usually have £50's so anything over £60 should do it). When the money comes out only take the middle note or notes. The remaining notes eventually get sucked back into the machine and it will not detect that any notes have gone, therefore your account will not show any money has been withdrawn :)

I have not yet tried this but was told it by someone who should know ;)

If anyone does try this please let me know if it works!!

So how would it put the money back??

If you've ever looked inside a cash machine you'd know what I mean. The money is in sort of sections.

It's an anti-theft thing in case people forget to take the notes. Apparently if you wait long enough it will suck any unclaimed notes back in.

Like I say, I've never tried it so can't verify if it works - I've been waiting for someone to lend me their ATM card to find out ;)

They do suck it back in, but it still gets deducted from your account. Happened to a mate of mine recently, took some money out, started talking to someone, and the machine sucked the money back in before he remembered! Checked his account later that night and it had been deducted. He had to go to the bank the next day, show them the receipt and plead idiocy :D :D :D

True, tho I doubt it would not count taken notes... they're clever like that...
Anyway, the full amount would be debited...
