From Mrs Theresa Coleman,
Cote D'Ivoire,West Africa.

Attn :
Calvary greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Based on the information I gathered about you from a very reliable source, I am happy to send this message to you. I hope you will consider and give it urgent and favourable reply.

My name is Mrs Theresa Coleman, 35 years,a citizen of Sierra - Leone , wife of late Fidelix Coleman, who before his death was the person managing the Sierra - Leone goldand diamond corporation( SGDC ).
I hope you are aware of the war which has ravaged my country for the past years now . It was in one of this attacks by the rebels that led to the death of my husband and three of my children , now I am left with only my last son David .
I was terrified of the situation and because of this I escaped with my son David from Sierra - Leone to cote d' Ivoire into a refugee camp but brought along the sum of u.s$12.5 million , in a metallic box and presently in a security company as family valuables .
My aim of contacting you is to seek for your able assistance as a front in transferring this fund abroad into an account , then as a business developer , you can help us to invest wisely in areas you deem lucrative and finally obtain a residential permit for us to stay comfortable in your country of abode .
Presently we cannot go back to Sierra- Leone because of the situation there and you know that cote d' Ivoire where we are now is politically unstable; we therefore wish you could help us get out of here before it become worse.
We are prepared to offer you 10% of the total funds for your able assistance and support and would send you proofs of the funds as soon as we favourably hear from you .

Please, you can equally get back to me with direct email address:[email protected]

Finally I implore you to treat this transaction with secrecy and confidentiality for security reasons .

Thanking you in anticipation and God bless.

Mrs Theresa Coleman.

Yes I did and my friend has had one similar before. Looks like a spam attack which is best to ignore.

[pretty polly]

Scary how they got your personal e-mail thru this website - or do
you post it on there anyway?

Ignore it. Anyone asking for money looks a bit dodgy to me!

[meercat]

Did you get anymore after this one?? I hope not! I JUST had to change emails addresses because i was hit with so much spam, i don't wanna have to do it again! I'm just confused that they found me from this website?

[meercat]

Oh i definitely would NEVER respond to things like that! It just pisses me off that they say they got it from here.

[madisonsmom]

That is spam. My MIL got an email something like that. She wanted to believe it...I dont.


Ignore it!

Looks like I'm lucky; I didn't get it. (Keepin' my fingers crossed) Is the Attn: the subject, or was it something else... that way i can just delete

[meercat]

The subject line read "Letter of Assistance (From Mrs Theresa Co...)

Then i saw it say "Hi Meercat" and thought, OH it's from someone from the IES forum...that's what made me read it.

Thanks everyone! Good to know i'm not the only one who got something like this :-)
