Hello Dearest

How are you today, I am writting this letter with due respect and heartful of tears since we have not known or met ourselves previously. i am happy for your reply to my mail i understand all what you said, I really like to have a good relationship with you, and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here.

Please I write not only to introduce myself to you, but also tender a joint investment business proposal for your considerations and acceptance. I know that receipt of my communication shall be a great surprise to you considering the fact that we did not know each other or had any business negotiations before now,

I am susan 25years old girl from Ivory Cost and i live in Dakar Senegal I know that this proposal might be a surprise, My(late)father Mr Benson Aham,was the personal advicer to the former head of state But he was killed along side with my mother during the longing civil war and all his properties was totally destroyed.However, after their death I managed to escape with a very important document (DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of (US$10.5m)Ten million Five hundred thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a (BANK)which i am the next of kin.

Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me transfer the money over to his country and into his possession pending my arrival to meet with him.

It is my intention to compensate you with 5% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.

I am staying at the female hostel. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self please I beg you not to disclose it a third party till I come over, once the fund has been transferred into your account. I hope my explanation is very clear but if you need further clarification, then send in your questions.
Thanks as I hope to receive from you soon.
Yours Sincerely
Miss. Susan

And here's my reply

Dear Susan

Thanks for your email. I hope that you are well and that life in the hostel is good.

I think fate has sent your email to me, as I am about to expand my business interests into Africa. I will be setting up offices in a number of capital cities, including Dakar, and undertaking development projects. Would you be interested in firstly finding me suitable office space to lease? There would also be a possiblity of you coming to work for me in a secretarial/administration role.

Could you please let me know if you are interested, and if so, attach a copy of your passport. I can then send you through details of what I will require in terms of space, equipment etc.

Regards

My intention is to have her traipse all over Dakar armed with my list of things to check and comment on. I'm also wondering if there might be a safari in it, so she can prove her worth as my right-hand 'woman.'

Wish me luck

I wish you lots of luck...

but not much optimism Laughing

keep us posted and shout out if you need help... and remember, bait safe!

oh, and remember that you're trying to bait a 419 for the first time, not try a 419 for the first time Laughing

Thanks JumpinJayJay - and for pointing out the small but crucial missing word from the header Embarassed

Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 2:22 am

Don't be sorry and did you know you can edit the header?

Sounds like you might be off to a good start. It depends if your lad reads the email (few do) and how greedy and willing he is to come off script if the option presents itself.

We are all here to help you with your first sortie into lad land, don't be afraid to ask questions (especially in the help, hints and tips forum) of the veterans.

Personally I"ve found the babes who live in refugee camps (seems yours upgraded to a hostel) in Dakar Senegal very hard to get off script.

Good luck with yours! Very Happy

P.S. She's offering 5%? That won't do.

"She" kept on script alright:

Hi Susan

You have been through some very tough times, I see. I am glad you have been able to keep your faith and your dignity - it can't have been easy for you. I am about to head out of the country for a few days on business, but I will have my lawyer contact the bank

You didn't mention anything about the possibility of working for me. Are you interested in that? If so, my lawyer will also send through a pre-employment questionnaire. Don't be offended, it's something I ask all my potential employees to do as it means I can save a lot of time. I am keen to have people on the ground in Africa, so you would be doing me a huge favour.

Regards

Of course, the pre-employment questionnaire is going to be about 20 pages, to be hand-written.
