Don't Be Fooled by Scams Like I Was

Someone sent me a message via AuthorsDen, wanting to discuss something with me at my e-mail address. She asked me to reply to her e-mail address--which I did. It was a ruse to get my e-mail address. I'm giving you this information so you won't fall for the same trick and reply to them so they can get your e-mail address.

Her initial message is below, as is the letter she sent me through e-mail.

 

DON'T REPLY TO STRANGE MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE......

Her Letter to me below . (Please know that they've exhausted this type of letter on folks with yahoo e-mail, so now they're looking for other ways to find patsys who will believe them.)

Notice that the greeting to me is in a different size type--that was added to a form letter.)

Subject: Dear Beloved Jeanette Cooper,
 
Dear Beloved Jeanette Cooper,

My name is Mary Mark from Sierra Leonean. I am 21 years old and a student. Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill me. My father is the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.It  began early last two year when my father's relatives and colleague began suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tonnes.

This mistrust began between Oct-Sept, 2005 when they discovered a very large some of money my father deposited with a bank here in Abidjan  in West Africa. As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisoned by this people called his enemies.

At his hospital bed, he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit which he made on my name as the next of kin, being the only child. He advised me that in case he die, that I should not stay in this country Sierra Leone because his associates will equally kill me hence my mother had died five years ago of breast cancer.

Before my father finally died, he sent a written letter of authorising this bank  to release his funds to me through his foreign partner who will serve as my legal trustee, he also instructed that if he dies, I should look for one of his foreign partners who will help me to invest my inheritance overseas because of his enemies and political crises here. But it was unfortunately that he did not inform me of his partners, before he died.

Based on this problem, I decided to contact you and present you to the bank  as my guardian trustee, who will help me provide legal address where the  will issue the money order, because the bank has approved to issue a money order cashable in overseas for the onward investment as advised by my father. My father finally died on the 5th of December, 2006 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding place because of my father's enemies. All the relevant documents of the $4.500, 000.00 (Four Million Five Hundred  Thausand  United States Dollars) that was deposited in a bank  by my late father are with me now.

I will have no regret in given you 25% of the total money, if you can help me get this secured for me in your country through the bank draft money order, for onward investment in your country. Please contact me immediately with the above and include your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all necessary documents as regards the money.

I'm waiting for your urgent reply.
Best regards. Sincerely,
Mary Mark
