Ha. All you losers who got Nigerian scam emails...I got a legit one
from the Cote d'Ivoire.
I'm going to be rich, rich, rich, I tells ya.

From Richard Keita
BIAO BANK

Dear (Insert name here)

My name is Mr.Richard Keita,a Banker and accountant with BIAO bank here in Abidjan,Cote d'ivoire.I am the personal accounts manager to Engr.Jonathan Gallagher, a National of your country, who used to work with an oil servicing company here in Cote Ivoire. My client, his wife, and their three children were involved in the ill fated Kenya Airways crash in the coasts of Abidjan in January 2000 in which all passengers on board died.Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but has been unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the internet,to see if I could locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

Of particular interest is this huge deposit with our bank here in where the deceased has an
account valued at about (USD$ 16.5 million US dollars).They have issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or the bank will declare the account unservicable and thereby send the funds to the bank treasury. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over the last two
years now, I will seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account valued at (USD$ 16.5 million US dollars) can be paid to you and then we can share the money.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If you can handle this with me, reach me immediately through my email address .

please include your full names and address,date of birth and your Phone and Fax numbers for more
discussions.

Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation,
Mr Richard Keita.

3. Well, the scam ones wouldn't work if there weren't real examples,right?
How would the scammers get the idea if this wasn't actually a legitimate business practice? Enjoy your newfound wealth!
