woot, I am going to be $1575000 richer!

Just got this as a pm on another forum

Am Mattins Wilson.
Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Dearest one ,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your name and contact from our country chambers of industry (internet department).

I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation , I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business .

I am Mattins Wilson the only son of late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wilson. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip .

My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on october 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Ten million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD ($10,500,000.00) left in fixed suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only Son for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.

That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose.
Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money
would be transferred to.

(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.

Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15%
of the total sum as compensation for your effort/
input after the successful transfer of this fund into
your nominated account overseas.

Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon.

Thanks and God bless.

Best regards
Mattins Wilson.

contact me from this my privet box/ Email; mattins_wilson2@yahoo.com

I always wondered if there was a way to **** with these people and actually get money from them.. is there any way to cash in on the check or deposit or whatever they are supposed to send you?

if you email to this then your email is confirmed and you will be spammed. use a bogus account which you do not care about.
