Hallo!
Weiß nicht, ob ich hier richtig bin, aber langsam stinkts mir gewaltig: immer mehr wird man mit Spam zugemüllt, ob es um Kredite geht oder billige Tintenpatronen, alles landet ungebeten 2 - 3 mal pro Tag im Postkorb. Aber das heute hat dem Faß den Boden ausgehauen. Ich habe noch nie etwas mit Afrika zu tun gehabt, und dann bekomme ich eine solche Mail:

Attn: Engelmann Heike
I do recognize the surprise this urgent but confidential letter will bring to you especially as it came from a stranger, but be rest assured that it came with the best intentions.
First, I must introduce myself, I am Mr. Mark Kandara from the Diamond-rich district of Sierra Leone and my father was the former Special adviser to the ousted Head of State of Sierra Leone. Major Johnny Paul Koroma. I got your address and other details from the International Chamber of Commerce. During the war between our forces led by the Ex-Head of State, Major Johnny Koroma and the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG), my country relied heavily on foreign earnings generated from diamond trade. This money was personally kept by the then President Major Johnny Paul Koroma since our banking system had collapsed during the war.
However, as the war progressed, it became apparent that we were going to loose the war to the superior and better armed West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG). At this point, the key officers of the administration started making frantic efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely thereby sharing the proceeds/money from this diamond trade. In view of the fact that my father was one of the key officers of the then administration and an In-Law to Major Paul Koroma, he succeeded in getting the sum of US$30.7 Million. We made arrangement and transferred the money through diplomatic means to Ghana, where I am presently living in exile as an asylum seeker but unfortunately, my father died of heart attack after a few months of exile in Ghana and automatically, I came in total control of the said money as the only surviving son, my mother and two younger sisters. Upon arrival in Ghana after due consideration, we deposited the money with a Security Company for security reasons. The actual c
ontent was not disclosed to them (Security Company) pending when we see a trustworthy person who will assist us in transferring this money to his account outside of Ghana, as the strict Monetary Laws here do not allow the asylum seekers certain financial rights.
I shall be most grateful if you can assist me accomplish this transaction and hoping too that you will remain trustworthy. For your efforts and assistance, I have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum while 5% will be set aside for all the expenses incurred in the course of this transaction. The rest of the 65% will be for my family investment in your country.
Please note that I have made arrangements for a successful deal. As such, the only thing I ask from you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete trust and assurance that my own part of the money will be safe when transferred to your account. I would also wish you keep this proposal highly confidential and secret considering my father’s position before his death and the source of the money. If you are interested in assisting me, please contact me through the above phone or fax numbers as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Kandara (Mr)
(For the family)"
