Default I'm rich ... rich I tell you !!!

Just received this following an advert I had placed in the Classifieds section ... I simply can't believe my luck. I guess seeing those two magpies this morning in the back garden did the trick ... My round folks ! ...


From Anthony Kone
Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire,
West Africa

Dearest ,

It is a good a 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.

I am Anthony kone,20years old and my junior Sister Sabin kone we are the children of
out late parents Mr.and Mrs.kone O'Neal from a Royal family in Ghana. My father was a
highly reputable business merchant (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.Febuary 2001. 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!

Our mother died when I was 13 years old, and since then our father took us so
special. Before my fathers death on 12th Febuary2001, he told me that he has the sum
of Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars. (USD$11.700,000) left
in one of the leading security company in Cote D'Ivoire. He made the deposit of the
fund in a metalic trunk box as containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign
partner.

He further told me that he deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my
name as the depositor, and for the company not to open the box he made the beneficary
as foreign partner.

I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate, my only junior Sister is
17years old and really we cannot handle the retrivemet of this fund alone without the
help of a foreign partner .This is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a
result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of our father
actually brought alot sadnees to our 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 us as your family ?
2. Can we 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. Through my private email
box bellow for security reasons ([email protected])

My sincere regards,
Anthony Kone.

You couldn't have ... it was addressed to me only

Besides, I've already furnished him with my account details, log-on passwords and postal addresses.

It's really weird ... I keep checking my account and still no deposits

I'm sure he'll be good for it tho', such a heart rendering story ...

This has been such a bonus bearing in mind the cost of our impending move. The wife's gonna be soooooo chuffed when I tell her what's happened.

The best one I ever recieved admitted that had made the offer to someone else who 'supposedly' did a runner with the cash.

But hey it was OK they were quite happy to trust me with a similar deal

No your not being gullible, in fact did you know that the word 'Gullible' does not actually exist in the English dictionary? FACT!

If you don't believe me look it up.
