Dear Edmond Onyem...

Dear Little Edmond Oneyem...Your story sounds an awful lot like Miss Casandra, or whatever that person's name was that sent me an email asking for money about a month ago. Poor little Edmond. You are 19 years old and don't know how to spend $18 million? My advice to you, blow it all on hookers and booze and party like it's 1999. And by the way, get off my computer, BEE-YOTCH!

This is the email I received from "Edmond Onyem"

Dear,

I am Edmond Onyem, 19years old and the only child of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Koffi Onyem. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year.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.

My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death he told me that he has the sum(USD$18 000 000) left in a bank here in Ivory Coast.

I am just 19 years old and really don't know what to do. so,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards to help me claim and invest the money in your country and also help me to come over to your country to further my education while you invest and manage the money. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.I will like that you keep this transaction confidential for the security of the money. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can I completely trust you?
3.Can you be able to keep this transaction confidential for the security of the money?
2. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?

Thank you so much.

My sincere regards,

Edmond Onyem
