From: Miss Sofia Zuma Wattara Ivory Coast, West Africa. wattara1a@gmail.com GREETING!!!
Dearest One,
Good thing to write you. I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail.
I am Sofia, 21years old.the only DAUGTHER of late Mr & Mrs Zuma Wattara. my late father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year, 12th. AGUST 2007.
Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled
with him at that time.But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on 12th. AGUST 2007. he called me who accompanied him to the hospital and told me that he has the sum of Ten million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.500,000) compile in two metallic boxes and deposited with one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivroy coast West Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the consignment in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to the security company whom he said is in possession of all the necessary legal documents to this fund and the security company .
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do,this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my
life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as your child? 2. Can i completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you? Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much as you read this mail comprehensively.
My Best Regards Sofia Zuma Wattara,
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME THROUGH THIS MAIL(wattara1a@gmail.com) for more

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
