Compliments of the day!

I and my younger sister write to seek for your assistance; .

I want to introduce myself to you properly. My name is Shamim Alavi and my
younger sister's Name is Princess Amina Alavi of Kenya,
our consignment
trunk Box
contains the sum of $25 million United States dollars and some
quantity of gold and Diamond, which I cannot be specific about. The consignments
is presently in the United State Of America.

The consignment trunk Boxes gets to the State through the help of Mr Derrick Hunt who was the formal beneficiary to this consignment. Through the Delivery of A Governmental U.N diplomat Dr.Diplomat Famous Kofi. The fact is that Dr.Famous
Kofi
is supposed to have delivered this consignment to a man called Mr.Derrick Hunt in the United State.

The week Dr.Kofi is suppose to deliver the consignment to him, when he got tothe State after clearing the consignment trunk Box from the Airport, he call Mr.
Derrick Hunt to give to him the description to his house for the delivery but
his wife answered the call and told Dr. Famous Kofi that her husband Mr.Derrick Hunt had a fatal car accident which has led to his death some few hours later.,


That was why Dr.Kofi has to deposit the consignment with a Security warehouse over there in the United State Of America and called us to informed us about what is happening.

Please I and my little sister seek for your help to Contact the Diplomat so
that he can be able to deliver the Consignment to you. I do want you to instruct him that you have discuses this with us, and you want him to carry out the delivery of your children consignment to you on time now.
I await to receive your urgent response to enable me forward to you all the
legal documents backing up the delivery and also the contact informations of the
diplomat for you to contact him.

Thanks and God bless you for your good and Godly Heart towards helping us.


Yours Faithfully,

Shamim and Princess Amina Alavi.

It's a shame that people fall for it. What's sadder is with as many mistakes as there are in that e-mail, it's written better than 99% of the posts by people on here.

i am trying to upload the pictures they sent me and email this **** is hilarious.............here is their reply

Greetings to you:Sir,
I write in respect of the email that you sent across to me and my sister here at the refugee camp,Me and my sister we really like you to understand that we want to front you as my late father foreign business partner in oversea that wants to receive these consignments in oversea.
Before I proceed into discussion with you on mail, I will like to introduce myself to you once again.
I am Shamim Alavi and my sister name is Amina Alavi from Kenya.
First and foremost, I will like to thank you immensely for your kind interest to co-operate with me and my sister in this transaction and your willingness and support to assist us in this transaction and also on where to invest our funds when the consignment which contains the funds get deliver to you in your country, because our plan is to invest part of the funds into a lucrative and profitable business which you are going to introduce to us, since I and my sister (Amina) don't have any business idea and we are still very tender and want to return back to school, whereby the remaining part of the funds will be used in acquiring a living house in your country.
I must inform you before hand that I and my sister are presently in Ghana where formerly lodged by my dad before it was suppose to be delivered to our former beneficiary in the united state of America, due to the rebels that are looking seriously for my me and my sister after the death of our parents, hence we decided to run to Ghana to take cover of our life's in a refugee camp in Accra, Ghana.

Please below is the full description about this transaction for your better understanding.
However, it is pertinent to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free as long as the maximum confidentiality is maintain by both parties involved which is you and I, Also it does not relate to any breach of law or proceed from drugs. It is a matter of necessity to contact you for this transaction without further investigation about your person, as I view you to be a more responsible personality, which i believe you will not betray us. Since we need a foreigner in this transaction, I must give you my trust; it is worth 25% of these funds. Which I will like you to assure me and my sister that after the completion of this transaction you will assist me and my sister to invest our own part of share while we also acquire a living home there in your country,25% of the total amount of money will be for you.
All we need from you is your full co-operation to agree to assist us secure this funds from the security diplomat who is already there in the state with the boxes. I request your assistance, as a foreigner to provide me with this help, cause my late father didn't disclose the exact content to the security firm in Ghana where the fund was originally deposited.Furthermore, In completion of this transaction, you will be advise to hold this funds in your account until I and my sister (Amina) come over to your country for the disbursement of the entire funds.

This are the details of the security diplomat in charge of the delivery.

Name: Dr Famous Kofi

Email address: dip_famous_kofi1956@yahoo.co.uk

Phone Number: 315 307 5013:
__________________________________________________ _______________
I searched the number came up w syracuse, ny address i replied to him i called him and he said that the trunk never made it to his house and he said that your sister had died in a tragic gazelle eating contest is this true ?? Also, some other people have called him as well ??? Are you trying to do something illegal here ? i thought this was between us why are others calling him ? I am starting to think this maybe a scam. Dr. Kofi told me to have you send me a different picture to verify since the one you sent was from april and he told me your sister died in may. So i am going to need a new picture can you do that for me please ?? Where do i send the money to ? I want to get this to you today as long as i get the new picture.....



Thank you,

Your humble Elephant Herder

John Atta Mills This person is the President of Ghana. I cant wait to see this reply

Someone tried to scam me out of a computer on EBay. The guy was located in Nigeria. After the auction closed, I got an E-Mail that "appeared" to be from PayPal telling me my account was in some hold state, and that I was supposed to go ahead with any transactions that closed before the account was put on hold. I highlighted the numerous mistakes in the E-Mails and replied back with the corrections. It was hilarious.
