I regularly get these email approaches, this one came from Japan but talks about the ivory coast. I wonder just how many people fall for these approaches.

Hello Gooday,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor Will I in any manner compel you to honour against your Will your profile pushed me to send you this mail,I am Mr MARTIN ADODO the only son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.ADODO THOMAS

My father was a highly reputable business Magnet-(a cocoa and oil 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 the 24th.November. 2003.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 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he deposted the sum of the Six million,Three hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$6.300,000) deposited in a finnace house here in Abidjan,Ivory Coast in favour of me and i will like you to help me transfer this fund to your account.

Now I am just 23 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.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.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.

Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

As soon as the funds get to you, I will join you in your country to complete my university education. Now permit me to ask these few questions

1. Can you honestly help me as your brother?
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.Through my private email box

Thank you so much and may God bless us,
MARTIN ADODO
