I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart.With due respect trust and humanity, i appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business having gone through your remarkable profile, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and i have a special reason why i decided to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my situation,My name is Miss.Lucy Kipkalya Kones, 25yrs old female and I held from Kenya in East Africa.
My father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya. The plane crashed on the Tuesday 10th, June,2008. You can read more about the crash through the below
site:http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/06/10/kenya.crash/index.html After the burial of my father, my stepmother and uncle conspired and sold my father's property to an italian Expertrate which the shared the money among themselves and live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he have deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instuction to the bank is that the money would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas. I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the money to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust.
But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinc ed me that you may be the true person to help me. Moreso, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmother have threaten to assinate me. The amount is( $11.8 USD )Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank in Burkina Faso on my arrival,
You will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country. However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self for now untill the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am affraid of my weaked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone ,I thank God Today that am out from my country (KENYA) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited these money with my name as the next of Kin.I have the documents for the claims.

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Lucy Kipkalya Kones.

This is a scam called "Advance Fee Fraud" and the type is known as "The Dead Relative Scam". You would be asked to pay fees for a fund that does not exist. Any offer like this is a fraud.

Please can you post the email address used by this scammer, it is very useful information for other people doing research on the internet.

Totally agreed with Mac Ramses.
I was not sure of these terms before but I got several such e-mails.
Mac Ramses is there any law against such scammers?

Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's illegal everywhere, and it is known as 419 fraud because of a section of the Nigerian penal code.
Enforcing the law is another matter though, and catching scammers is almost impossible.

Apart from anything else the whole concept is flawed as trustees have to be named in the will, and there is no possibility that her deceased father would have guessed your name, and now he's dead, his will cannot be altered.

Appointing unnamed trustees would be as silly and preposterous as having an unnamed beneficiary. Such a will would be invalid, and it's only ever mentioned by scammers as a method to steal money from people.
