    Found this in my inbox

    First bit of spam this e-mail account has ever had, it is a bit more intelligent that some of the spam e-mail I've had offering me Viagra or some other miracle drug that will make me perform better in bed, or make my man hood bigger.

    ---------

    From Miss Alice Williams
    Abidjan. Cote D'Ivoire,

    Hello dear,
    With profound respect and humble submission, I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration, I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hopes, joy and enthusiasm that I write you this mail which I know and believe by faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health. My name is Alice Williams, I am the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs D.Monga. My father was a highly reputable business magnet 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 on the 12th September 2004. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of mine who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.
    Before the death of my father on September 2004, he called me and informed me that he has the sum of (USD$2,500,000.00) he deposited in a private Bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.. He told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary but legal documents regarding to this deposit with the Bank
    I am just 23 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas who I can transfer this money with his assistance and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so desire. 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 also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.
    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 from your heart?
    2. Can I completely trust you?
    3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the fund has being transfeered to your account and i come over to meet you ?
    Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter.Kind Regards,please reply through my private email above for security reasons,

    Miss Alice Williams

    This is my favourite of today:
    From: Mr Gove Gokomatsu <govetextiles@gmail.com>
    Subject: Dear Friend (Personal E-mail 02/26/2009)
    Date: 26/02/2009 15:50:47
    To: oid

    Dear Friend,

    In introduction; I'm Mr Gove Gokomatsu from Hong Kong, CEO/President KIN HING HONG textiles Hong Kong/Dubai. we produce and sells JEWELRY and Fabrics of all Kind. Some years back,I invested some amount of money with some investors in Canada/United Kingdom and it has yielded some reasonable interest which is due for payment.

    I wanted the Due-funds transferred to my account by Swift, but the issuing company/Investor said that they cannot transfer more than Five Thousand Dollars to any bank account outside the shores of North America, south America and United Kingdom within one month( 30days).

    Meanwhile,I have tried to open account with some banks in above mentioned countries; but I need to be physically presence to sign the mandate. I must confess that this is not possible now because I am medically down to make such a long distance trip.

    So, i was told to provide a contact in Canada, United Kingdom or United States of America to receive the funds on my behalf. I am in need of your assistance on this matter,if you could help receive the funds and forward to me.

    Sincerely,you are not going to face any risk in rendering assistance. AND PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAN YOU ARE NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY ON THIS AND I WILL OFFER YOU 10&#37; OF THE MONEY YOU RECEIVE.

    Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need, first to contact me via email signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details, with which you are to proceed and i shall direct on how to put up an application to the Investors.

    Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you an E-mail the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely Yours.
    Mr Gove Gokomatsu
