Here's a nice friendly one I got this morning from Joe Mark (that should be my name, surely!):


Dearest,

Compliments of the season,I hope all is okay with you.This letter may come as a surprise because we have not met before face to face,but I got your contact through the MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND INDUSTRIES. Therefore, it is my wish to establish a business/mutual relationship with you and also for the benefit of next generations.My names are MR. JOE MARK the junior brother of DR. BAYAX H. MARK the former finacial director of the IVORY COAST[COTE'D IVORIES] [NATIONAL GOLD DUST CORPORATION]who was shut died by the the military junta led by the former defence chief [rtd]MAJOR GENERAL FELIX Y.GWAHE when his group wanted to overthrow the elected goverment.

Though I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbances in IVORY COAST one of the troubled country in WEST AFRICAN sub-region,but it has consistent features in the CNN,BBC news bulletins.The presure of the war drove the rest of our family out of IVORY COAST into exile in neighbour country ACCRA the capital of GHANA in west Africa, where we have been living under political asylum for now.

Thereafter, during the civil war which my brother later died before then he handed me over a certificate meant for a secret deposit,which my brother made in SECURITY COMPANY in ACCRA- GHANA.The deposit which worth of $18.5,000,000(EIRHTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) was money paid to the GOLD DUST CORPORATION under him by its Foreign custmers, in the heat of the conflict,he made the deposit in his name with the hope of converting it to his personal use at the end of the war but was shot died when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition of the rebel forces.

Now,I have contacted the SECURITY COMPANY to confirm the deposit and establish ownership.Due to the continued crises in IVORY COAST, I have decided to solicit for the assistance of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist me to claim it out of the security vault for investing the funds in a lucrative venture, because I cannot do it alone due to my present social status right now.You will be given a negotiable percetange of the funds after the end of the transaction. Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free butIf you are honest, trustworthy and also interested in the aboved proposal, contact me immediately through my mail for us to discuss this matter via mail,this is my private E-mail joe_mar@zwallet.com My telephone number will be given to you as soon as I hear from you.

You must maintain absolute confidentiality of this transaction as to ensure success.Please forward your TELEPHONE NUMBER/FAX when replying.

REGARDS,

MR.JOE MARK
