Attention:Sir&Madam
Having gone through your profile ,I am contacting you based on trust and I believe you will treat this offer with keen interest and utmost sincerity.

Right. Like there’s a profile on the internet anywhere that contains my super sekrit email address.

My name is AHMED RAAFIA 23 years,a citizen of Lebanon.My father got maried to African American from a speaking colony of Cote D’ Ivoire were I grow up and the family was blessed with two children I and my younger sister sarah who is 15 years old although she is late.

The grammar leads one to believe your sister is pregnant, though I doubt that’s what was meant. Also, not sure what a ’speaking colony’ is.

Following the recent crises between the Israeli forces and the hezbollahs militant group in lebanon, During one of the Israel air strike in lebanon, my parent became victim of war as my parents lost there lives on their trip to our home in lebanon. Our building was razed to nothing leaving 13 people dead and over 65 injured.MAY THEIR SOUL REST IN PEACE!!!! Nothing like taking advantage of the news, right? We all know there were air strikes and people were hurt - I feel for them. Which makes your little scam all the more irritating.

My father was a cash crop merchant and an international business man on exchange of international currency.He deposited the sum of $9.6 Million US Dollars under the coustody of a security company here in a secured trunk box without the knowlegde of the security company that the box is containg money for security reasons.Because of the love he has for me,he told me in confidence that the security company can only realise the consignment to his foriegn partner based on my authorization as my next of kin.So you and daddy were the only ones who knew, and conveniently, there really is no foreign partner? Freeing you to choose one? What “secure” agency, bank or otherwise, would accept this arrangement? None.

Please I need your sincere help now!My life is in danger due to frequent war and political crises in Lebanon and Cote D’ Ivoire as I do not want to stay here for them to hold election because anything can happen.Please help me and save my life.I want to introduce you to the security company agent as my late father’s business associate so that you will help me claim the consignment and we can make an arrangement for the transfer of the fund to you for investment. Are you also going to give me the plans to the Death Star? The Holy Grail? Maybe keys and security codes for Area 51?

I need your assistance in getting a residence for me and also help me in investing the fund in profit yeilding business in your country. and your willingness to treat me as your son will be appreciated.Moreso, as soon as the consignment is delivered to you, you will invest the fund. Oh, look! He wants me to adopt him! awwww.

I will offer you 30% of the total fund for your assistance alone.As soon as I here from you I will give you all the information you need about the fund you may require from me thereafter.I am presently living in camp now.Please get back to me as soon as posible and endeavour to include your telephone Because it’s so easy to call from ‘camp.’ Whatever that means. Just like it’s easy to email.

Please reply with this id what ID? oh, the string of letters in the subject? and called me with this number +855-1XXXXXXXXX.

Await your call.
