I have dear friends in Abidjan?? Who knew.

An interesting spin on the usual 419 scam.

====================
My dear friend,

My name is opoku mohamed, a senior State Security and Protocol Officer attached to the presidential wing of the international airport here in Abidjan.

My duty among others is to ensure the easy and safe movement of top government officials into and out of the airport. As you may be aware courtesy of the cabel network news (cnn), there has been a breakout of hostilities in the city accassioned by the activities of some anti goverment elements.

In this circumstance, people are stampeding to evacuate the country. My main reason of writing this letter is to alert you of my discovery of the sum of 10.5 million US dollars in a diplomatic baggage abandoned in my office. I have subsequently used my personal network to ship the said baggage with the money to
a London based security and finance company for custody.

I am looking for a reliable foriegn partner that will act as agent/trustee for the clearance of this money for our subsequent mutual investment in any safe economy as my present official status does not permit me to handle such a huge sum. If you are honest and capable to handle this please get back urgently to me
for more details as to the particulars of the baggage/clearance instructions, name of the security company and officer in charge. We shall also discuss your entitlement thereafter. Please note that the whole excersise shall be safe and fast to conclude.

Regards.
opoku mohamed
