i think my money troubles are behind me!! hahahah. what BS.

so i get this letter..who falls for this schit?

Dear friend,

How are you today,i hope fine?I am a female student from University of Burkina-Faso, Ouagadougou. I am 22 yrs old. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father died earlier 1 year ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my late mother is also late two years ago before the death of my Late father.

He left the sum of (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand united state dollars ($12.5mUSD) in a Bank. This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Exploring companies operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the Bank of Africa to your bank account after which i come over to meet with you. and I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.

I am ready to pay 40% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over. Please if you are interested to help me, then get back to me urgent so that I will give you more details including my picturs.

Yours sincerely,
Princess Faatina Tozu.
This is my home address,From Burkina Faso in West Africa.Home Address: Rue 54 ave. LOUDIN.

Hey, you could always open a new (if temporary) account with a couple of dollars in it & tell her to send it over & that you have a special account to accommodate it. You could also tell her the transaction is worthless without pictures.

Hmmm-40% of 12 million should help you keep the 'ol 911 running strong.

What are you still doing typing on the keyboard? No more dealing with architects and playing with flashlights. Go, go, go. I am sure you can take your wife along and she would not care.

How come you're so lucky and get cool letters from young 22 year old like that. What did you do?

Vash,

I have to be frank, Princess Faatina and I have had, uh, relations.

She didn't look nearly as good with her clothes off as I thought see would, so I returned 1/2 my 40%: gave her a little, you know, something for the effort.

No coastal vibe, Bro: Bing Maps

Knowledge is power.

It is not a scam...my 20%, email certified and inbound, is parked in cloud seeding futures, a solid gold hedge against no clouds.

I am so far ahead of the curve I'm straight.

From Herman Hansley
Camp MXP-512 Third Infantry Division
UnitT.I.D.U,
Abul Uruj, Baghdad, Iraq.

I am Herman R Hansley, a native of Iraq. I am a Military Contractor with the America troop currently serving in the third infantry division Unit in Iraq.

I am currently on duty break. My partner Darren D. Braswell,36, of Riverdale, Ga., died Jan. 7th near TalAfar, Iraq, when the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter in which he was a Passenger crashed. Braswell worked For the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, before his death We secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam Hussein and the total cash is US$20,200,000.00 Twenty Million two hundred thousand Dollars.

As I write this letter to you, these boxes are in Security Company as I secretly moved it out of Baghdad to safe place.

Sir I seek your consent to help me move this money to your country location.

You do not have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe. I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist me and my late partner Darren D. Braswel in receiving this boxes for us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my colleagues. Of course, I shall compensate you with an attractive percent of the total funds for your role/efforts. We have limited time now as you know that our evacuation agreement is been negotiated by the USA and IRAQI government, kindly get back to me immediately.

Moving the funds out of the security company is not going to be much of a problem as arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust,

Please get back to me with your full name
Contact phone number

Preferable without delay and let’s negotiate terms.

Your response will determine our subsequent correspondence.

You can read more on this website for more information and explanations: BBC NEWS | Middle East | Stash of money found in Baghdad

Yours in Service.
Herman R Hansley

Maybe she's confused and it's Zimbabwe dollars she's got. Recommend her to try to buy a big mac with the 12 mil.
