Subject: From Rena Konan 14-05-2007
Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 11:02:32 +0000

From Rena Konan
Medical student
Of The University
Abidjan Ivory Coast
West Africa
Dear,

I know that my message will come to you as a surprise since I don't know
you in person or met with you before, but I am of the believe that you
would be obliged to come to my assistance after hearing about my situation.
I was, until recently, a Medical student of the University of Abidjan,
Ivory Coast West Africa.

I am the only Son of late Mr Frederick Drogba Konan. My father was a very
wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory
Coast. He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their
outing to discuss on a business last year.

When my mother died on the October 1987, my father took me so special
because I am motherless. Before the death of my father last year, in a
private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and
told me that he has a sum of US$ 16,500,000 left in account in a bank here
in Abidjan, that he used my name for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it is because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates.

1)I am honourably seeking your assistance to provide a bank account where
this money will be transferred to.

2)You will serve as the guardian of this funds since I am a Boy of 20 years.

3)You will make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the
money has been transferred to you.

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

I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and
industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you
are willing to assist me please indicate your interest. Now permit me to ask
these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your SON
2. Can I completely trust you?
3.To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 20years.
4. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
5.To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and also to secure a resident permit in your country.
Besides, I'm corresponding with you from my country here in Cote
D'Ivoire,
West Africa and moreso there is great political war going on here in my
country, that is the main reason why I contacted you to help me in
getting
me and my only inheritance out of this country so that I may not lose
my
life and the inheritance to war in this country, infact I'm facing
difficulty at the moment in this country.
Furthermore,Dear please indicate your options towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be concluded within seven (7)days
you.

Finally if you have any question as regards this transaction contact me so
that I will send you documents of this fund. Note that the confidentiality
of this transaction would be highly appreciated in replying soonest
Thanks and best regards.

Rena Konan

Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: purelife on Jun 15 07 11:32
Yeah, but first, you'd have to be invited!
Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 15 07 11:35
true, I never was one for formalities probably because I'm the one who never gets invited to things.  
Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: purelife on Jun 15 07 11:40
It all depends on how well you know that person and how much he/she wants to invite you.  

  I don't understand what you mean by "formalities."
Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 15 07 11:42
formalities is a line from some movies.
true, you guys all know each other.
 
Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: purelife on Jun 15 07 11:56

Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 15 07 12:00

Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: purelife on Jun 15 07 12:01

Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 15 07 12:03
emergency contacts apparently says in my book/pamphelt plus the school wants me interacting with canadians since I'm not going into the homestay program.  
Title: Re: Hello From Africa

[FONT size=2][/FONT]

rofl.....^^^^ just noticed this.  I'm telling you Russ, it's so cold, I'm just about to spark up a fire.  I think I saw my flowers out there begging.  They are in such need of a little warmth.  It's sunny enough, but it's just not warming anything up. (is this scientifically possible? lol)

  So when's your next shore-leave ?  
Title: Re: Hello From Africa
Post by: purelife on Jun 22 07 05:23
