From Joseph And Amanda Dakotan
24 Rue de marcony.
Bouake Cote d’ivoire.

Sir/Ma,

This letter may come to you as a suprise based on the fact that I have
not
had any previous contact with you. Briefly, I am Joseph Dakotan the
only
son of late Chief.koffo Dakotan former director of Sierre Leone Gold
and
Diamond Corporation who was murdered by assailants believed to be
working for his political enemies.

Shortly before this unfortunate incident, my father had informed me
about
an
important business deal he had executed with some of his colleagues in
the office. He told me that he had diverted some money totaling fifteen
million US dollars (US$15M) which they had realized from the sale of
gold
and diamonds in the black market.

He showed me some lodgement documents with which he had deposited
the money encased in a trunck box with a security /safe deposit company
in Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire.He informed me in confidence that seciurity
company did not know the exact contents of the box ; rather, he told
them
that it contained African art work that he had assembled for his
overseas
partner who would soon be coming to claim them for exportation.

As a result of this explanation, the box was accepted for safe-keeping
by
the
security company without inspection. When the political situation in
Freetown, Sierre Leone worsened, I escaped into Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire
with my only younger sister and had since contacted the security
company, identified myself properly and informed them about the sad
fate
my father had suffered.
I presented the lodgement documents and they confirmed that they have
the trunk box in their vault. So I informed them that I intend
initiating
contacts with my fathers overseas partner who owns the consignment so
that he can come and take delivery of it. My decision to retrive this
box,
transfer the money and start a new life forms the basis of this enquiry
from you.

Now my 16-years-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country
suffering without any care or help. without any relation, we are now
like
refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in this fund our father
deposited in the Security company to this effect, I humbly solicit your
assistance in the followings ways,to assist me claim this fund from the
Security Company as my father’s business parthner abroad and co-
beneficiary, to retrieve this money from the Security Company in your
name and trasfer it to your country, to make a good arrangement for a
joint
business investment on our behalf in your country and you as the
caretaker,to secure a college for my little sister and my self in your
country to further our education and to make arrangement for our travel
with you to your country after you have transferred this fund.

If you can assist me on these points above, I shall give you 10% of
the
total
money while setting aside 5% for all incidental expenses that may arise
in
the course of actualising the transaction (such expenses as phone calls
fax messages ) Please i need to inform you that this matter is
confidential, I
want you to treat it as such please.
Best regards,
Joseph & Sister

    This appears to be a classic case of SPAM!! A total scam. There have been stories on the news about people getting “taken” from these messages. Never give out personal information to someone you don’t know.

    This is a ” phishing letter” seeking to gather youyr personal information and drain your bank account. This person wil 1) gain access to your bank account and make illicit withdrawls
    2) use your personal information to get credit in your name, not pay it back and leave you on the hook for it.
    3) attempt to get youinvolved in an illegal venture. send this letter to your local police department. they will report it to interpol andmaybe the fraudsters willget caught. DO NOT under any circumstances reply or respond to it.
