Out of Africa: another modest $22 Million Dollar 419 proposal

Greetings!

Luck has visited our email box yet again, with an offer of $22 million dollars from a Mr. Robert Sankoh, the lastest figure in what is doubtless one of the most profitable forms of fiction the world over, the 419 Scam (for detail, see, here).

This particular "golden opportunity" has all the elements to capture the imagination and fuel anyone's greedy inner brat, made bold with the help of those blind twin bodyguards, hope and confidence that furnish just enough false sense of security upon which every 419 scam is built. It has all the "usual suspects", if you will.

For example, consider, we have the son of a diamond and gold company chairman, and a rebel leader to bring the required chaos, as well as a "secret" certificate of deposit, all of which creates the opportunity of anyone to grow rich overnight, just by spending a little money up front (typically enough money to purchase a good watch and German car).

Apparently, as the story goes, Mr. Sankoh, with his mother Rose, and his jailed father made it to Abidijan (see photo above); and now he is in a position to collect his father's riches, if he can find someone to help him, the way a card dealer needs others to help him play three card monty in Times Square, experience that more than a few of our staff here at the 79th Street Boat Basin have under their belts, prior to taking up work here as Boxed Wine marketing data collection associates.

No doubt, Mr. Sankoh sits in an air condition internet cafe, copy story or "bang" spinning his web of fiction aimed at gathering just 1% of we lucky thousands he emails to get involved with his common scheme or plan. Unfortunately, we have far too much work here at the boat basin, collecting data about Manhattan wine consumption for our sponsors to walk with Robert through a dream that would doubtless make Dante' Inferno appear more like a Cakewalk than an ordeal.

Hellow Dear
It took me a long time to make up my mind to let you know about this business proposal I am to introduce to you. It is because I don't want to throw away golden opportunity I have by involving the wrong person .I do hope that you will not let me down because this is something that will be of mutual benefit to both of us.

My name is MR Robert SANKOH son of the rebel leader FODAY F. SANKOH former chairman of A Sierra Leonine Gold and Diamond Corporation). My father was arrested by the present government of Mr.TEJAN KABBAH for planing to overthrew his government.Though, I do not know to what extend you are familiar with events and disturbances in Sierra Leone.

However, during the disturbances and prior to my father's arrest, he gave me a certificate meant for a secret deposit he made in a Security Company in Abidjan. The deposit is worth $ 22,000,000 (Twenty two million u s dollars) He made this deposit as belonging to my father's foreign partners with the hope of converting it to his family use at the end of the conflict. But later, he was arrested when the fracas intensified as a result of the involvement of the UN Peace Keeping force in Sierra Leone .

On the strength of the above, I fled to Abidjan with my mother where I am presently residing. However I have gone to the Security Company to confirm the deposit and inform them that my father's foreign partner is coming to claim the consignment. Therefore, I solicit for your assistance (hoping that you are honest and trustworthy) in transferring the money out of Africa for business world. You will be compensated adequately for your participation in this transaction. if you are interested, I will highly appreciate to recive your mail Awaiting your immediate response.

Best Regard,
Mr. Robert Sankoh
Rose Sankoh mother
