Yet another sad story of a refugee / orphan looking for someone to help him secure his inherited money. Although the money appears to be safe in an account somewhere in Europe, he still needs the money to be transferred to the bank account of a total stranger. And of course his life is in danger and all kind of bad guys are after his life and money but in reality he sits comfortable in his house behind his laptop or pc sending this email to several email addresses he bought from another scammer. Just google the words orphan + civil war and you'll find several hits of similar scams. Best is to delete such scam emails.

Dearest beloved in the lord,

My name is Denis Bahyi, 23 years from Sierra Leone. My father and I escaped from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and two of my senior sisters in the war. As a result of the political instability in my country even after the war, my father established his cocoa and coffee export business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He was in Buake, a northern city to negotiate for the purchase of a cocoa plantation when he was shot and killed by the rebel troupes fighting to take over the government of the country on the 22nd September, 2002. The death of my father has now made me an orphan and thereby exposing me to danger.
Before the unfortunate death, my late father had in his personal account with a bank in europe the sum of 9.5m Euros. As a result of the present insecurity of lives and property in this country, I wish and request you to assist me use your account in your country to transfer the balance of my father's account. Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence in order for me to continue my education and to invest the fund in a viable business venture. I am willing to give you 12% while 5% has been earmarked for expenses. If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail so that we can discuss further on this matter.

Thank you so much.
Denis Bahyi.
