The scammer has used the "invite" option on http://www.kodakgallery.ca to send this scam. It's a very popular format that has been going for many decades, in print and electronic form. "Jeffery Paul" doesn't have $2.5M. What he does have is a plan to steal money from any person unfortunate enough to believe his phony story.

Dearest One,
I Am Jeffery Paul, The Only Son Of Late Mr.Abraham Paul I Am 17 Years Old. My Father
Is A Wealthy Cocoa Merchant. Trouble Began In 2004 When My Fathers Partners Began To
Suspect That My Father Is Not Giving Proper Accounts Of All The Tonnes Of Cocoa
Being Cultivated By The Local Farmers In Some Villages..As A Result of This And The
Envy On The Money He Was Poisioned By His Associates.
But Before His Death, He Deposited The Sum Of $2,500,000 (Two Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars) In A Bank In Ivory Coast For Establishment Of New
Farms But Now That He Is Dead I Want You To Stand As My Guardian And And Help Me
Transfer The Money In Your Country And Also Invest It In Any Good Business.
According To The Agreement That My Late Father Made With The Bank, i Cannot Taken
Control Of The Money Until I Reach The Age Of 23. I Talked With The Bank And They
Advised Me That They Can Only Release The Money To My Guardian.
I will Reward You Greatly For Your Kind Assistance To Me After The Transfer Of The
Money To Your Account. I Hope And Wait For Your Kind Reply Through My Private Email
Address [email protected]
Best Regards
Jeffery Paul
