destroyed.However, after their death I managed to escape with a
very important document (DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE (US$6.7m)Six million Seven Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY)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. Furthermore,you can contact the company for onfirmation and i will issue a letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the security company 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 wife and manage the money.Conclusively,i wish you send me a reply immediately as soon as you recieve this proposal,

Until then,i remain with the best Regards Miss Fatima.

heh, I\'ve played with those people before and posted one of my baits on the message boards there in the past. You can keep them going for months if you get a good one but in all honesty the best policy is just to send their details to the isp they\'re using before they actually catch out someone not bright enough to realise...
