a couple of days went by with nothing and then i received the following correspondence from Ms Kane...

Dear Adam,
Hope all is well with you over there.

Before I proceed,I want to let you know my full identity to enable you know me better.
I am Miss Valsara Kane,the only surviving child of my late parents Mr and Mrs Roje Kane,who was poisioned to dead two years ago.
I am 20 years old.I am single and do not have any kid.
My father died when I gained addmission to enter the university for further studies,because of his sudden death which kept me off balance I could not continue with my education up till date.
It was after the burial and funeral ceremony of my father,that I went to the bank for the withdrawal of some money that the bank manager disclose to me that since my father deposited the money in a suspense account for onward transfer to a foreign account overseas,I can not withdraw any money from the account unless the money is transfer to a foreign account.
He therefore advice me to seek for a foreign partner who can provide a bank account where this money can be transfer into for investment purpose according to my late father's wish before his death.
I left his office so depress and not knowing nor having any foreign partner in mind,I met my church sister who is an assistance in a cyber cafe and explain my problem to her and she promise helping me with some email addresses which can be useful to me.
I met her the following day and she gave me four email contacts,she said she could not get more due to time factor.
I collected it and said in my mind that I am looking for just one honest person who willnot betray my trust nor will want to harm me or even kill me so that all the money will belong to him once the money gets into his account.
As soon as I set my eyes on the list,my inner mind told me to contact you first and wait for your response,before contacting others,and so I had to send you my first mail after much contemplation.
This day,after reading your mail,I am glad to know that I had made a right choose,since you are an honest person,who will not cheat me.
I have never been to your country before neither do I have any investment plans,therefore I will want you to use your initatives as a citizen of your country and choose a good business opportunity where the money can be invested into which will be useful and profitable for both of us.
One more thing,I still have the urge of continuing my education,when I come to your country after the money is transfer to your account,I hope there are some good schools there which I can gained admission as soon as I arrive there.

I will like to know more about you,your marital statue and your age and your educational background.I will also need to see your photograph.
I will be going to the bank by tommorrow morning to inform the bank manager that I now have a foreign partner and as soon as I hear from you,I will give you the contact of the bank where my father deposited this money inorder for you to contact the bank and find out their banking procedure of transfering the money to your bank account which you will send to them
To futher proof to you that I am real and this money is genuine money which I inherited from my late father as his only child and next of kin.Expect the copy of the official lodgement receipt that the bank gave to my father,the day he deposited the money in the bank,the death certificate of my late father and also my picture so that you will now who you are willing to help in my next mail..I expect you to send me a copy of your picture,your id card and also your phone number in your next mail..
.
Finally,I want to say thanks for writing and please write soon as I am anxiously waiting to read from you,so that I can give you the contact of the bank to enable you to contact the bank for transfer procedure.
Have a plesant day
Valsara

1. copy of the official lodgement receipt..... whats one of those?
2. the death certificate of my late father..... should make interesting toilet paper... i mean reading....
3. my picture.... cant wait for this one....

Then she goes on to ask me for even more things....

' I expect you to send me a copy of your picture,your id card and also your phone number in your next mail..'

1. well thats twice shes asked for my pic.... must be real desperate to laugh in the face of the mug she thinks shes hooked....
2. I do own several ID cards but i think we'll see what can be achieved in M.S. paint.... might as well play by there rules...
3.
