My Dear,

I am Miss Fransisca Dikko, 22 years ,writing you from Abidjan Cote Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa.

As the only child of my late parents,I inheritated an important sum of money from my late father who was a prominent Gold and Cocoa marchant who died in recent crisis here in Cote d'Ivoire. My mother died when I was a little child in the year 1986. I wish to request for your assistance in investing this money in lucrative venture under your directives and guidiance in your country. I want you to assist me for the transfer of this sum of Five million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars (USD5.500,000) to your account in your country hence I will give you the contact of the bank where the money is so that you can contact them immediately and discuss with them since I do not know

much about financial issues. I will gladly give you some resonable percentage from the total sum for your assistance while I pray that you do not betray me at last. Please it is important you contact me immediately for more clearification on the next step for smooth conclusion.

Awaiting your immediate response so that i will know my position.

Yours Sincerely,

lol, from "her" you mean from "them". This is one variation on an old scam. Someone has alot of money waiting for them but no bank account? It takes wiat an hour to make an account?

Plus if 5.5 million went into your account your would pay taxes on it, try explaining that to the irs. (not that you would ever see a dime)
