Subject: From Ms Amelia Amichia (Confidential matter).

Dearest one,

I would like to give you description about me, I am Miss Amelia Amichia, I am the only child of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Robert Amichia. I love music as well, am 5.5 feet tall. Infact as time goes on, you will know more about me.

My father was a highly reputable business magnate-(a 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 on 12th Feb. 2006. 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!

My mother died when I was just 14 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12th 2006, he called his secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $4.2 million US DOLLARS (Four million two hundred thousand USD) deposited in a suspense / fixed deposit account with one of the local banks here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

He also explain to his secretary that the funds was meant for an investment purpose in oversea before he met his untimely death meanwhile as his only daughter and only child, he use my name as the next of kin to the funds. Further he told his secretary to inform me that whenever I am ready to go and claim the funds at the bank where it was deposited that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer the money to and use it for investment in this area.

1). Telecommunication
2). The Transport Industry
3). Five Star Hotel
4). Estate management.

Now I would be very happy and glad if you can assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a new beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment in one of the suggestion area I mention above.

I am a woman and beside I don't know anything about business world more so I am high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds to. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory Coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as a friend or partner or soul mate?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your private telephone and fax number if you are willing to have the relevant documents to confirm the existence of the fund for verification from the bank and to confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy communication. Meanwhile I would be glad to know you pretty further.

Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Amelia Amichia

Stupid sons of bitc***

Con tricks like this have had plenty of publicity. I'd be very surprised if anyone was daft enough to fall for them...or maybe not.

Looks like a 419 scam, or advance fee fraud. The idea being that the con men lead you on and eventually say ok, I need a few hundred dollars so I can go ahead with the transfer (the reasons vary). As pixellany said, it is a very old con, dating as far back as 1588 according to Wikipedia.
