Compliment,
My name is Mr.Francis Steven, a political activist and a consultant. I am a member of my party’s executive committee on Financial matters presently exiled in Ghana.
My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist us in securing some funds abroad for safe keeping which incidentally was kept to help us finance the forth coming general elections in my Country. Fortunately with my immediate assistance, and contact, we were able to deposit the money in a bank vault in Ghana West-Africa pending when the fund would be needed.
The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present government is cracking down on the opposition, trying to trace all the funds and properties owned by our members and party faithfuls. However If they succeed in tracing these fund tous, they will seize it thereby incapacitating our campaign plans.
We wish to relocate this fund in a foreigner’s name to avoid any trace.Therefore all I need from you is an assurance that you can handle these amount valued (US$19,500,000) confidentially.I would want you to handle this proposal with utmost care and understanding because our election is forth coming and any misfortune will affect us adversely so your maximum coperation will be most appreciated.
I am able to give you my name without fear because I got your email address contact from a very reliable and dependable friend whose judgment I trust completely, so it would be appreciated if you can maintain the confidential nature of this letter and the whole transaction.
Please if you are not interested in this business, let me know in time,so that I can contact someone else.
Best regards,

What are you supposed to do with it? Throw it away. It’s a classic in the world of spam. It’s hard to believe you’ve never encountered it before. It’s called a Nigerian 419 scam because this type of scam originated in Nigeria and is a violation of section 419 of their penal code.

Don’t do anything. Its a scam!!! They send a check and tell you all you have to do is to send 10 % to them for handling fees, then when you put in bank the bank says it has to wait for the check to clear so you use your own money for the 10% and the check bounces. Don’t do it -I lost $2500 in this scam.
