An email scam: nice try

Considering the financial mess created by the Bush administration (only to be acerbated by the Obama administration), why would Danyla want me to invest her late father's savings in real estate and the transportation industry in the US? Seems just a little fishy. Hmmm -- Jim

Though I have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life. There is this amount of Two Million Five hundred US Dollars $2,500.000.00) which my late father deposited in Senegal which he wanted to used for his political reason in our Country before he was assassinated by his opponents.

Now i have decided to invest this money anywhere safe enough for security reasons.I am soliciting for your assistance to help meto secure this fund to your holding on my behalf and will assist me in investing this fund in any lucrative business. I will like to invest part of the money into these three investment but, if there is any other business that is better than what I am suggesting, I will be very glad to follow your advice.

1). Real estate
2). The transport industry
3). Hotels management

You shall be entitled to a significant portion of the fund..If you can be of an assistance to me i will be pleased to offer you 20% of the total fund while the balance will be invested by you.I await your soonest response, if you're interested in helping me out and thanks for your anticipating co-operation.

Danyla Otokore.
