Read it for yourself. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6/4/2010 9:27:48 PM WE NEED YOUR TRUST. DEAREST ONE...

THE DIRECTOR OF SIERRA LEONE DIAMOND MINING COOPERATION SIERRA LEONE, WE ARE HERE IN COTE D' IVOIRE TAKING REFUGE AFTER THE BRUTAL WAR AND MURDER OF OUR PARENTS BY THE REBELS DURING THE RENEWED POLITICAL FIGHTING IN OUR COUNTRY SIERRA LEONE.

WE WILL BE GLADLY TO GIVE YOU 15% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RECEIVING THE FUND ON OUR BEHALF FOR INVESTMENTS IN YOUR COUNTRY. AWAITING YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FOR MORE DETAILS. THANKS OUR BEST REGARDS. JOSEPH & MERCY BARMAH. MY PRIVATE EMAIL ( joseph10barmah@yahoo.fr) Now I know that the IRS would be involved as well as the CIA at this level. But here is what I know as someone who as been the victim of a much smaller SCAM. They would ask for the funds to be withdrawn ASAP and sent to them, or wire transfered, to the sum of about $15.7Million. Then not only would the good-hearted person be on the hook for the whole Leagal fallout but also for the funds that were sent away. It greaves my heart to see our community being invaded by this sort of activity. I just don't wan someone I know or don't know to be hurt financially be this easily avoidable mistake.
