Hey, girls write these things too!

Now, I hadn't really thought about it but all of my letters to-date have come from guys. This is the first letter I have gotten from from a girl. Her name is Sophia and she is 19 years old. Her father was a highly reputable business magnate that met his untimely death in France possibly at the hands of his evil uncle (or bad escargot) in 2001 (...or maybe it was 2002).

Grade: A-

Comments: Some very good ideas here. Having the letter being written by a girl does make it stand out from all of the others, particularly when dealing with a male dominated email scam industry where the "old boys network" is still alive and well. I am personally glad to see women taking a lead here but I have to wonder if there isn't still going to be a glass ceiling.

On the other hand, nothing tugs at a guy's heartstrings more than a young damsel in distress, so this letter has some real potential. Better proofreading, however, is a must. And for crying out loud, let's get the correct date of his death straightened out!
--------------------------------

Respectfull one,

Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Sophia Nguessan ,19years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Nguessan Richard My father was a highly reputable busnness magnate-(a cocoa merchant) [I'm guessing that chocolate milk was really big around your house] who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days [and where do you supposed he operated during his nights?].

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2002.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! [this sounds vagely Shakespearian]

My mother died when I was just 4 years old [sob],and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2001 [uh, didn't you say he died in 2002 earlier???] he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $22 million US DOLLARS (twentytwo point five) MILLION USA DOLLARS) [Ok, $22 million, I get it!] kept in 2 trunks boxes with a private security company in (AFRICA) here in Abidjan Ivory Coast.

He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.He decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money as his first daugther for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites [Poisoned? Are you sure he didn't just eat some bad escargot?], That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.

I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an ivestment purpose.

I am just 19 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do [ok, here comes the damsel in distress ploy]. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life [sob].

Dearest one ["Dearest one?" ...getting a little personal, aren't we?] ,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter? [MY DAUGHTER!?! Hey, I've never even BEEN to the Ivory Coast -- Honest!]
2. Can I completely trust you? [about as much as I can trust *you*!]
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account? [Oooo, she's letting me pick the percentage -- I'm thinking of a number in the three digits]

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Miss Sophia Nguessan Richard.
