It got both of these emails within 24 hours. I cc'd them and told them I really want to help, but they must tell me if they're twins, or if one of them is trying to cheat me and the other since it seems too much of a coincidence that both had fathers who were cocoa magnets.

Dear ,

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 Mariam Kenzo 21years old and the only Daugther of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Kenzo. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa 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.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 has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) Deposited in one of the leading Security Company here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa.

He further told me that he deposited the money in my name,I am just 21 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.

Dear,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
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. ([email protected])

Thank you so much and may God bless you.

Yours sincerely,
Ms Mariam Kenzo.

Dearest Beloved

Based on your profile i am happy to request for your assistance and also to go into business partnership with you, i believe that you will not betaryed my trust which i am going to lay on you.

I am MR MACCOLINS EDWARD ,21years old and the only son of my late parents MR.and MRS PAUL EDWARD. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa 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 year 12th.Febuary 2004.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 on Febuary 12th 2004 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten Million United State Dollars.(USD$10 000 000) left in a security company in a mettalic trunk box, but the security company didn't know the content because it was registered as family valuables personal for security reasons.

I am just 21 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. Sir,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

Thank you so much.

My sincere regards,

If they are tiwns, then I hope they are not identical twins.. I'd hate to see Miss Mariam Kenzo growing a moustache. Laughing

Also I guess the change in last name rules out twins, unless their father took custody of one in a divorce, remarried.. but then he would have had to have taken on her families name.. this has the potential to get confusing if the lads email each other and try to go with the twin thing. Wink

Looks like same/similar script but different lads-checking the IPs will confirm.

Of course if they both know about each other then you'll have to play them off against each other. Lad A offered 20% so Lad B offers 25% etc etc etc

Yes, this is a good opportunity to play one against the other. I fell into that by accident recently when I realized I was baiting two different lads who were using the same name. Then I started sending each the other's mail. Both are paranoid now and I'm making them give me silly code phrases in every email so I know I'm working with the 'real' guy, not the 'impostor' . Hopefully I'm setting them both up for a trophy picture down the road, but it's too early for that yet. It does create some hilarious emails though. Have fun with it!

I once had two "anti corruption" types both named Dr Williams contact me on successive days - one telling me that Chuckie Soludo was a "tout" and the other defending the Professor's good name. I had soem fun using the different Lads against each other, and sparked some interesting responses from one (the other was boring):

Are they from the same person? Neither has responded to my email yet. Could be that S/H/It had an "Oooops!" moment?
