HI Guys,

Just to let you know someone (or a trawler) is sending a 419 CON letter as a private message to people on this forum. I got one.

Needless to say, it's a Con.

Britters.

ps. Text from con:

Dear one
I am writing this letter with due respect and
heartful of tears since we have not known or met
ourselves previously.
I will be so glad if you can allow and lead me to the right
channel towards your assistance to my situation now.
I will make my proposal well known if I am given the
opportunity. I would like to use this opportunity to introduce
myself to you. well, i am Michael Dikko 20years old young man
and I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you
but do consider it as an emergency.
In nutshell, My (late) father Mr Morris Dikko
was a very wealthy gold and cocoa merchant who based
in Accra and Abidjan respectively. But he
was killed along side with my mother during last year's
Rebel attack and all his properties was totally
destroyed.
However, after their death I managed to
escape with a very important document (DEPOSIT
CERTIFICATE (US$2.5M) Two million Five hundred
thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in the bank
which i am the next of kin.
Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of
securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help me
transfer the money over to his country and into his
possession pending my arrival to meet with him.
Furthermore,you can contact the bank for
confirmation and i will issue a letter of authorization
on your name,that will enable the bank to
deal with you on my behalf.
I am giving you this offers
as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance
to assist me or take me as your child and manage the
money. I am inclined to offer you 15% of the total sum
as a mode of compensation for your effort after the
successful transferring of these fund to your
nominated account overseas
Conclusively,i wish you send me a reply
immediately as soon as you receive this
proposal,please write me back with this email
address ( michaeldikko2@yahoo.com ) Until then,i remain with the best regards.
Michael.
